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
