About - Mark Casto

Hey! I'm Mark

I was born and raised in West Virginia. I'm an author, digital business coach, pastor, husband, and father of four.

I’m a faith-driven entrepreneur, bestselling author, and host of The Mark Casto Program. After losing my salary as a pastor, I went from broke to building a six—soon to be seven—figure digital business by packaging wisdom into wealth.

I’ve been building communities since August 24th, 1986 (the day I was born), devouring non-fiction books along the way, and now I help Wisdom-Led Messengers turn their God-given wisdom into profitable online businesses that create freedom, impact, and legacy.

I live in Mobile, AL with my wife and kids, where we’re building both our business and our life together. Each week on The Mark Casto Program, I share wisdom, stories, and strategies to help leaders who feel stuck or aimless find the clarity to move forward in faith, family, business, and culture.

In 2023, I launched Longpath Publishing to bring good news into culture through media, books, and entrepreneurship. What started as a publishing company quickly expanded into Wise Builders, a business community and framework that equips leaders to package their wisdom into profitable digital businesses.

Since then, Wise Builders has grown into a movement—helping messengers, authors, and entrepreneurs who feel like their message is “trapped inside” of them finally unlock the systems to monetize their expertise, create wealth, and expand their influence.

If you’re ready to align your gifts with a proven framework, come join me inside the Wise Builders Business Community. It’s where we combine business strategy with timeless wisdom so you can build the kind of life, family, and business that truly lasts.

What I Bring to the Table:
With years of experience as a husband, father, author, entrepreneur, and builder, I’ve learned what it takes to create alignment between calling and business. Whether you’re an established leader or just getting started, I’ll show you how to transform your wisdom into a business that creates both freedom and legacy.
