Work With Me | Casey Palmer’s Portfolio

Last updated on October 11th, 2022 at 08:07 pm

Father to two. Husband to one. Second to none.

Casey is a Canadian Dad from Toronto, Ontario who shares his fatherhood journey at Casey Palmer, Canadian Dad, one of the few places to find fatherhood content in the Great White North. He shares his story because it’s different. He’s a Black father. He comes from a multiracial family. His family’s an urban family, looking to thrive in the city rather than run out to the suburbs like so many families have before them. This has his content come from a very unique place in Canada’s digital landscape, with Casey continually evolving it to tell the best story possible.

And all that work’s been paying off—he’s been in traditional media countless times, mentioned in publications like National Geographic and Lonely Planet, and spoken on podcasts and stages dozens of times over. And all of this when he’s not busy creating the thousands of pieces of content you can find on his blog, his podcast, Chatting with Casey, and the social media sites that make up his digital home.

Feel free to continue below to hear more of his story, or drop him a line if you want to find out more!

Amidst his unbelievably busy life and airtight schedule, he somehow makes time to learn the personality of a brand and works to compliment. Not only are his posts well thought out, detailed, and hit every key message, but they’re also objectively a pleasure to read. The man’s hilarious!

This Week in Blogging | Talking Niche Blogging with Casey Palmer

When I hear the words “Canadian dad,” I immediately think of Casey Palmer, and that’s an attestation to the brand building that Casey has done over the years. I reached out to Casey to talk about niche blogging because his journey towards finding clarity with his site hasn’t been a straight path. In my humble opinion, it’s much better to interview those who has learned and overcome than it is to talk to those who struck gold with the first swing.

CTV News | Black people are ‘exhausted’: Describing the challenge of coping

Black people are “exhausted” after decades of violence and oppression and don’t know how to handle the “new-found attention that perhaps we didn’t expect,” says Toronto blogger Casey Palmer.

Toronto Sun | SEX FILES: Confronting our own relationship to racism

“Black people are tired,” says Palmer. “Black people are numb. What we need from our non-black partners isn’t wondering why we’re not more outraged at everything going on—we need them to understand why we pray that there’s hope it’ll all lead to a better tomorrow.”

Toronto Sun | Why we need to stop congratulating Ryan Gosling for being a good partner

To get some perspective, I spoke to my friend Casey Palmer, a husband, father and Toronto-based blogger that I just so happen to consider to be a model human being. He had lots to say about Gosling’s words.

“It’s actually pretty sad that we see heroism in something that should be pretty commonplace to the everyday dynamic between adults in committed relationships!” Casey said. “There’s no way I could juggle my job, my blog, and quality time with the family without my wife taking care of the boys at home and keeping our house intact in the process. Perhaps we hail Ryan as a hero because it’s what we simply wished we saw more of in our lives? Honest, raw appreciation and respect for the sacrifices needed to raise a family.”

He’s beaming with charisma, shares amazing insights on his platform and demonstrates what it means to be a phenomenal family man on top of juggling a full-time career and digital platform. Below he shares some words of wisdom for any fellow Dads looking to start a digital platform/blog and his “I’m Not Dead, I’m Just a Dad: Where the Dad Bloggers At?” highlighting the lack of Dad bloggers in this digital space is entirely worth the read. Casey also has an amazing message about removing the stereotypes surrounding fatherhood, and how he wants to be perceived in his role of parenting alongside his beautiful wife Sarah. Hint: he’s no bystander.

Toronto dad Casey Palmer gave his two boys a similarly early introduction to the world of work.

Though Palmer doesn’t believe in allowances, he gives his kids – aged 5 and nearly 8 – a fair portion of the revenue any time they’re featured in one of his popular social media posts.

“We then have detailed conversations about the money and what it’s going to be used for later – things like real estate or school,” said Palmer, who writes about his family at caseypalmer.com.

“I want them to understand the correlation between effort, money, and future returns.”

Palmer also recommends leveraging your child’s interests for lessons about money. For instance, he used his son’s passion for Pokémon to teach him about stocks.

“I said that if you’re a big fan of Nintendo and Game Freak and the companies that make Pokémon and you think they will grow, you could put money in them now predicting that the value will increase.”

“He started to see there were many layers to how money and the economy work.”

Bumping into another Black family in the wild has been rare, says Palmer, who is working on a book about Black fatherhood slated for release in 2022. And that’s one of the reasons he continues to get out there with his sons—to show them Black people camp, too.

“The world is a big place, and I don’t want myself or my children to feel boxed in by any restrictions that come from their upbringing or something someone tells them,” says Palmer, who adds he hopes to be able to take his kids to climb Mount Kilimanjaro when they’re older.

“The pandemic taught me that I have to find excitement in much simpler things than what I’d rely on before, so one thing I look forward to each Monday is my Spotify Discover Weekly playlist that adds at least something different to my routine.

Why does listening to my playlist make me feel beautiful? I carefully curate my playlist with songs that elicit an emotional response because they’re tied to lessons in my life. Successes. Failures. Everything in between. I learn to express those memories through music.”

In a year unlike anything any of us have seen before, it’s become painfully clear that there’s a lot we’ve taken for granted in the times that came before. We’re missing out on family celebrations and soaking in the holiday cheer. We’re learning to live with Zoom fatigue and find new things to keep us going in our spaces—2020’s had us experience life in an entirely different way, and it’s not quite done with us yet.

Unsolicited advice

People love offering advice for new dads (this article included). Sometimes, the profundity is questionable. “I was told not to stand over my kid because their eyes would get stuck looking up,” laughs blogger Casey Palmer, a new dad in Toronto. “It taught me from early on what advice to take and what we’d need to figure out by ourselves.”

Alive | Breaking the Man “Mould”

Palmer also doesn’t shy away from talking about self-care—whether physically or mentally—on his blog. He admits he wasn’t always conscious of his mental health: it was only when he experienced a breakdown at 16 years old (from being overloaded with school, sports, and work) that he learned the importance of minding his mental health.

“Find your reason for doing it beyond money, fame or free swag. It took me a long time to clear through all the noise and figure out WHY I wanted to keep creating, and if I was doing it to turn a profit or get a certain role, I probably still wouldn’t be at it. Find out why you do it, and it’ll help you find out what sets you apart. But don’t plan to figure it out overnight.

Articles – it’s been a busy month online, and there are a lot of pieces that have been created or re-surfaced with a lot of opinions. Like many subjects on the internet, it is easy to go down the wrong rabbit hole. Opinion-based pieces are not what I’m after, I want facts and knowledge. Reputable sources and pieces with actionable suggestions are useful. As well, there are pieces that just speak to my heart as a mama to three young boys.

Fellowship Christian Reformed Church | Fellowship “Elbow Bump” for June 3

This is not a time for the church to remain silent. Yes, we need to listen and learn. Yes, we need to give primary voice to those whose voices have been silenced. But we also need to speak up, to make the gospel’s position clear, to call out the sinfulness of a segregated church, to identify and refuse to support institutions and systems which perpetuate racial injustice. As Casey begs of us, to never forget.

“A few weeks ago, I was chatting with Casey Palmer – a father of two with a full-time job. On the side, he runs an increasingly successful blog, that presents him great opportunities. But despite that, his blog is often priority three after his family and career. That means that the things he wants to do to grow his brand (video, podcasting etc.), are relegated to ‘future plans’ rather than active projects. With just enough time to put effort into his blog, how can he scale to do more?”

“There’s one thing to be said about parenting—There are many fun (and funny) moments to be shared! No one makes me laugh quite like Casey from Casey Palmer blog does! The man is as funny online as he is in person. I can vouch for that since Casey and I went to Detroit with Ford Canada together. Just don’t give the man any Jolly Ranchers!

I love reading posts about Casey’s adventures as a new dad. His writing makes me smile (and laugh). I’m looking forward to following his adventures in parenting. In the meantime, here’s a favourite: I’m Not Dead, I’m Just a Dad.”

“I’m thankful that I still am surrounded by people that write great blogs like my friend Casey Palmer. I subscribe to his newsletter and every time I receive a new post in my inbox, I read it and many times I comment. This morning I received his latest post where he had written about the fact someone commented that he appeared to write more about being apologetic for not posting more often, than posting. He also works a full-time job and has kids and a busy life yet he found the time to write a post and publish it for all of us to read. If he hadn’t done that, if I didn’t support and read his blog, I would never have seen his post about #NaBloPoMo the National Blog Posting Month. Kudos to you Casey!”

It’s like a time capsule that lives on the Internet.”
