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

Episode 3: No One Put's Branding In The Corner
No One Puts Branding in the Corner
In this episode of The Ron Table, we’re calling out one of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs and small business owners make: sidelining their brand and marketing voice.
We dive into:
✅ Why today's marketing feels like everyone shouting into a canyon (in the same outfit)
✅ How building a brand isn’t about a logo—it's about connection and consistency
✅ Real talk on why authenticity beats perfection every time
✅ What small business owners get wrong about marketing—and how to actually fix it
✅ Personal stories of building a brand while battling self-doubt, overthinking, and yes... grass-stained sneakers
Plus: We pull back the curtain with our special guest and resident producer, Adrienne Thart from ACR Ventures, to talk about the real struggles behind marketing, branding, and staying true to your voice.
🎧 Whether you're building your first brand or trying to reboot your business voice, this conversation will make you laugh, rethink your strategy—and maybe stop worrying about perfect shoes.
Subscribe now and pull up your chair at The Ron Table—where business gets real, life gets messy, and conversations are anything but polished.
