"Faith in the Numbers" - Featuring Music's Mathematical Mastermind Mike Castronovo
On this rung of Next Rung Radio, we spotlight a visionary who stepped into the music industry not as an artist, but as the strategist who could see what was broken and dared to fix it. Mike Castronovo built his career in wealth management and international markets, mastering numbers the way musicians master notes. But when his daughter pursued music at Belmont, he quickly realized just how flawed and unfair the system was for creators. What started as frustration turned into revelation—and from that revelation, CrowdMusic was born. Alongside David Browning, Mike has been pioneering a new model that places fairness, faith, and community back at the center of music. His story is one of bold imagination, integrity, and the belief that business can be both ethical and transformative.
This episode isn’t just about music, it’s about redefining the rules of the game. Mike shares how faith, vision, and business acumen combined to create a platform designed to uplift artists and fans alike. He proves that when you remove greed, build with integrity, and follow God’s timing, you can create something that not only disrupts an industry but sets a new standard for generations to come.
