When I interviewed him four years ago, Cory talked about how working at a traditional job wasn’t for him. Sure, the money and job security were great, but he hated the work to the point where he couldn’t physically get himself to open the door to his office one day. That’s when he knew he needed a change. 

Cory is a good friend and sometimes business partner who has been in the audiobook industry for over a decade. In the interview, he explained that audiobooks were on cassette tapes when he started. He’s a great producer and knows the industry like the back of his hand. He’s working on a big, exciting project: Zoundy, a brand-new audiobook platform. 

He is the co-founder and publisher of Christian Audio, which provides high-quality, faith-based audiobooks. Their catalog includes over 7,500 fantastic Christian titles, perfect for meeting all your spiritual needs. 

Cory has also been a Board member of the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association for over 14 years. His tenure has been characterized by a commitment to fostering collaboration, innovation, and ethical standards within the evangelical Christian publishing community.

Cory’s story is an incredible adventure with audiobooks. Think about a time when audiobooks were on cassette tapes—Cory was right there, helping make significant changes in how we enjoy stories. 

Now, he’s in charge of Zoundy, and it’s not just going along with the changes; it’s making them happen. Zoundy will be the most remarkable thing in audiobooks, a super fun platform where stories become more exciting than ever. His entrepreneurial journey is pretty common and makes for a great story, whether you’re just starting out or already on your way.
