The Ron Table
New The Ron Table Podcast is what happens when three entrepreneurs stop pretending they’ve got it all figured out and start telling the truth.
This is the real, unfiltered reality of what it’s like to strike out on your own—the good, the bad, and the “you’ve gotta be kidding me” moments of running a business in today’s world. Hosted by Ron Miller (Elevate Talent Solutions) with Nicole Gray and Laine Belcastro, we mix common sense, real-time insights, and way too many movie quotes to make sense of the chaos. It’s not a TED Talk. It’s a table. And you’ve got a seat. Business. Life. Bullsh*t. Unfiltered

Ep 14: Unlimited PTO or Unlimited Self Loathing?
Unlimited Vacation: Perk or PR?
This week on The Ron Table, Laine Belcastro, Nicole Gray and I pull apart the shiny wrapper on “unlimited vacation.” We compare corporate policies (a.k.a. take time off at your own risk) with entrepreneurial “freedom” (answering client emails from a roller coaster). We talk culture vs. policy, permission vs. discipline, and why so many teams still guilt people for stepping away.
Along the way: the real reason unlimited PTO became a thing (follow the money), how good managers actually signal “go take Friday,” and why for business owners the work doesn’t disappear—it waits.
Hit play, then tell us: which is harder—asking your boss for time off, or asking yourself to stop working?
