Ever borrowed a car for an impromptu night adventure across the Canadian border, fueled by neck bones and drinks? Well, I have! Join me, Chris Keaton, on the Random Acts podcast for a rollicking episode filled with tales from my youth, quirky facts about myself (like my unusual fear of flying monkeys), and a spotlight on my special guest, Edgell Groves Jr. With Southern charm and a keen business sense, Edgell shares his journey from forming bands in college to making waves in the music industry. Together, we explore the winding paths that led us to our current ventures, offering a blend of humor and insight into our musical escapades.

Shifting gears, I recount my transformation from life as a touring musician with San Domingo to founding a record label and booking agency, all with the goal of uplifting fellow artists. You'll hear about my pivotal role in developing SoundCloud for Artists after Repost Network's acquisition and how these experiences inspired the creation of PassPass, a digital discount app with a unique twist. Wrapping up the episode, I unveil my second book, "Confidence on the Fly", aiming to help you build and sustain confidence with simple yet powerful strategies. Don't miss the chance to snag a holiday bundle featuring my latest work, my first book "Dapper", and an exclusive t-shirt. Tune in for laughs, lessons, and a fantastic exploration of music and entrepreneurship.

Imagine a simple typo on 10,000 CDs turning your name into a legendary inside joke! That's exactly what happened to me, Chris Keaton—or should I say "Chis Keaton"—and it gave birth to the #ImWithChiss t-shirts that are now a hit. Join me on this episode of Random Acts as I chat with my talented buddy, Cale Dodds, about all the quirky twists and turns in our creative journeys. Cale opens up about his shift to songwriting during the pandemic, sharing hilarious stories and insights on how his Georgian roots have sparked his musical evolution.

We also dive into some exciting new projects as Kale talks about First Time Thieves and the thrill of experimenting outside the usual country music boundaries. And let's not forget the laughter-filled tales—from galaxies named after Cale to my recent Chicago escapade that ended with six stitches and some unexpected help from a duo named Jesus and Angel. It's a rollercoaster of music, mishaps, and memorable moments you won't want to miss! Tune in for a blend of humor and heart as we navigate life’s unpredictable adventures with a smile.
