Chief Content Entrepreneur, Cast Ahead
With a 25+ year history in the music industry with Sony, driven and passionate entrepreneur Chris Stone founded the Podcast and Live Streaming Consultancy Cast Ahead after the success of his own co-hosted podcasts changed his life. At Cast Ahead, Chris thrives on enabling driven entrepreneurs, influencers, thought leaders and enterprises to express their story and elevate their reach.
In the same way Chris was able to work with multi-platinum artists, record label executives and creatives of all levels – he’s found great joy seeing other Live Streamers, Keynote Speakers and Podcasters achieve their own creative, financial, physical and spiritual success. He’s produced videos for keynote speakers like Victor Antonio and Sam Silverstein, produced virtual, physical and hybrid live conferences for corporations, consulted, developed and produced podcasts like Sales Influence, The Big Ticket Life, The Sales Energizer, The Pete Primeau Show, Lancaster Connects and many more.
Chris also co-hosts an Amazon Live show “Dealcasters” with Jim Fuhs of Fuhsion Marketing. Dealcasters are Livestreaming Amazon Influencers who interview experts and entrepreneurs while training Amazon customers how to overcome the fear of technology, start and flourish in their content creator journeys. In just over a year, Dealcasters have established themselves as a trusted authority not only in the live video and podcasting space, but also in the education of the Amazon Influencer program and the development of Influencers already on the platform. They’ve spoken on stages and virtually at PodFest Expo, VidFest Expo, StreamYard Industry Showcase, Agorapulse Agency Summit, MidWest Digital Marketing Conference, Social Media Week Lima and headed up an entire day at the PodFest & VidFest Global Conference for the Amazon Influencer Program.
Chris also has led, assisted and coordinated remote livestream production teams with clients such as Disney, IBM, StreamYard, United Nations Global Compact, MIT, Toastmasters International, Jamaican Chamber Of Commerce and USABizParty which has included speakers such as Gary Vaynerchuk, Seth Godin, Darren LaCroix and many more.
“I truly believe that everyone deserves to be heard by using their own voice in their own way,” Chris states, “My goal is to be a team member with other passionate entrepreneurs & ambitious businesses by integrating podcasting and/or live streaming into their business goals, educate their customers in a creative way – which will in turn attract more listeners, viewers & customers.”
