In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Cassie Petrey.
Cassie Petrey is co-founder of Crowd Surf, a digital marketing company providing catered and specialized marketing services to a roster of massive stars, everyone from Guns N Roses to Backstreet Boys, Fifth Harmony to Britney Spears. At age 12, Petrey ran an AOL Backstreet Boys newsletter that had over 10,000 subscribers, which led to being a serial super fan of several different artists.
By age 17, she landed a job at Warner Music Group as a College Representative. Shortly after signing on board, MySpace made its debut and Petrey capitalized on this avenue by setting up a page for one of the projects she had been assigned from Warner. This page was one of the first major label ventures into leveraging MySpace, and this led to a full time position in the Digital Department at Warner Bros.Records office in Nashville. In her role, she oversaw social networking campaigns for label stars such as Faith Hill, Blake Shelton, and many others.
When Petrey graduated college, the role of "Community Manager" didn't exist at companies. She knew social media platforms were more important than they were given credit for. Always seeking new and innovative ways to create organic, meaningful connections between artist and their fans, Petrey went on to form Crowd Surf in 2007, with long time friend Jade Driver.
At 25 years old, she was selected to be featured on Billboard’s “30 Under 30” list. This highlights executives making an impact in the industry and driving business forward. As a member to YEC (Young Entrepreneur Council), she has been quoted in numerous media outlets such as Huffington Post, Inc., Business Insider and more.
Today, their company has evolved into a 35-person team, with four offices and revolving roster of accounts boasting a collective social footprint of approximately 800 million followers.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
