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

The Ron Table Ep 10: AI: Your Digital Sidekick or Skinny-Jeans Job Thief?
Is AI your new best friend… or the smug guy in skinny jeans pretending to be your brand voice while low-key gunning for your job?
In this episode of The Ron Table, Nicole Gray, Laine Belcastro and I rip the “AI will save us” narrative wide open. We get real about the facts (and the feelings), why most small businesses are using AI wrong, and why efficiency without empathy is just a spreadsheet with an attitude.
From hallucinating chatbots to résumé-shredding ATS systems, self-checkout culture, and LinkedIn authenticity wars—we call out what AI can do, what it can’t do, and why you still need a human behind the wheel.
Also in this episode:
- Micro-retirements (and why Gen X is side-eyeing them hard)
- The Texas floods, humanity over politics, and wins worth celebrating
- Celebrity privilege, public trials, and why the court of public opinion smells exactly like your dad said it did
Use the tool—don’t become one.
