Jordan Casey: From Childhood Coding Whiz to Therapy Tech Leader

Episode Overview

  • Jordan's early passion for technology and entrepreneurship led him to code apps at the age of nine.
  • Becoming the youngest iOS app developer in Europe marked a significant milestone in his career.
  • The sudden fame and pressures of being a young prodigy impacted Jordan's school life and personal growth.
  • His openness about struggles with mental health and burnout highlights the importance of seeking help.
  • Jordan's commitment to destigmatizing therapy through Fettle Online Therapy reflects his empowering innovation and passion.
I was very shy, very introverted, and tried to maintain that balance, but it was only really when I was 11, my primary school teacher just picked an interest in me, asking me questions about my interest in technology. She was the first person to validate everything I was doing and explained it to my parents, encouraging them to push me with it.
Imagine coding your first app at nine years old and then speaking alongside a former US President by your early teens. That's the remarkable journey of Jordan Casey, the tech prodigy who joins Tony Kelly on this episode of 'The Fettle Podcast'. Jordan's story is one of early passion, relentless drive, and the ups and downs of being a young innovator in a fast-paced industry.
He opens up about convincing his parents to support his coding dreams, releasing his first iOS game at just eleven, and navigating the pressures that come with sudden fame and success. By 23, Jordan took on the role of CEO at Fettle Online Therapy, channeling his experiences into a mission to destigmatize mental health care. Through candid conversations about burnout and mental health struggles, Jordan remains grounded and relatable, showing that even prodigies face real-world challenges.
If you're curious about the human side of tech innovation or need a dose of inspiration, this episode is a must-listen.
