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 5: Sister Wives, SubContractors and Scaling
Three entrepreneurs. One microphone. Endless opinions—and even more movie references. In this episode, the Ron Table crew dives into the myth of rapid scaling, why headcount doesn’t equal success, and how subcontractors (or sister wives, apparently) might be the secret sauce to keeping your business sane.
In this Episode we explore:
• Why scaling too fast is often a red flag, not a win
• When employees are the answer—and when they’re a headache
• The magic of subcontractors and the power of staying small
• How bloated org charts kill creativity (and your culture)
• And yes, how Dr. Now and Ferris Bueller still have business lessons to teach us
If you’re building a business that actually works—and not just one that looks good online—this one’s for you.
Spoiler: Your pint-sized business might just be the secret weapon.
