From Corporate Career to Calling: Casie Murph on Purpose, Entrepreneurship & Building The BeVel
What happens when you walk away from the career that looks successful to pursue the work that feels purposeful? In this episode of The City Sculptors Podcast , host Alexis Williams sits down with Casie Murph, “Murph the Barber,” master barber, educator, entrepreneur, and founder of The BeVel Barber Lounge in Kansas City. After spending 20 years in corporate America as an IT professional, Casie made the decision in 2017 to bet on himself and return to a craft he first discovered at just 14 years old. What began with a pair of clippers and a vision has grown into The BeVel, a barbershop built around excellence, confidence, community, mentorship, and opportunity. Casie shares his journey from corporate America to entrepreneurship, the role faith and persistence have played in his success, and what it took to build and scale a business through uncertainty. He also discusses his commitment to developing the next generation of professionals and creating a legacy that reaches far beyond the barber chair. This conversation is about more than building a business. It’s about recognizing your purpose, having the courage to pursue it, and using your success to create opportunities for others.
