Is your business haunted? No, seriously.

This week on The Ron Table, Ron Miller is joined by co-hosts Nicole Gray and Laine Belcastro for a no-BS séance to call out one of the most infuriating trends in business: ghosting.

We’re talking:

Clients who vanish mid-project

Vendors who disappear after the quote

Partners who swear they’re “in”—then never call back

Podcasts that love your insights but forget to return the invite

This episode is part roast, part therapy, part entrepreneurial reality check. It’s raw, hilarious, painfully true, and packed with real stories (yes, including Ron’s infamous Long Island ghost job saga).

If you’ve ever been ghosted in business, recruiting, or your own network—this one's for you.

🎧 Listen now, and don’t forget:  "This ain’t Tinder. You don’t get to vanish after the pitch."

Replace the ghosts. Respect your time. Reclaim your power.

It was also a reset at the table as the original episode had a technical glitch and we digitally yeeted Laine out like she was in a back to the future photograph! 

So in this REDO, Nicole Gray, Laine Belcastro and I (Ron Miller) dig into the exhausting pressure to keep up with highlight reels, fake flexes, and algorithm-approved nonsense. We talk honestly about the impact this has on real business owners trying to build something meaningful—without losing their minds (or their money).

Expect 80s references, real talk, and one big reminder:

If you’re ready to ditch the comparison trap and get back to what matters, this one’s for you.

Ever been told, “Let’s circle back” or “Your goals don’t align with ours”? That’s not leadership—it’s corporate cowardice. In this episode of The Ron Table, Ron, Nicole, and Laine go full throttle on:

If you’re tired of buzzwords and ready for some real talk—this one’s for you.

Raw. Real. Relatable.

Subscribe, like, and share—unless you still think “synergies” is a real word.

A Business Deal About Nothing dives into one of the most valuable skills in entrepreneurship: knowing when to walk away. Ron, Nicole, and Lainey swap stories about bad partnerships, unpaid invoices, and those all-too-familiar “let’s collaborate” traps that turn into free labor.

From gas station sushi energy to envelope-licking red flags, this episode pulls no punches on what it really means to protect your time, your value, and your sanity in business.

If you've ever chased a payment, ignored your gut, or said yes when you should’ve said “hell no,” this one’s for you.

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:

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.

🎧 Listen now, laugh later, and unsubscribe from the scaling shame spiral.

In this episode, Ron Miller, Laine Belcastro, and Nicole Gray tackle the grind that’s been glorified for way too long: burnout. From corporate conditioning to solo entrepreneur spirals, we unpack how burnout went from red flag to résumé builder—and why it’s time to let that go.

We talk:

Why working 24/7 isn’t a flex

How corporate hustle culture follows you into entrepreneurship

What burnout actually looks like behind the LinkedIn posts

And why being the CEO, CFO, HR, and janitor of your business is… not the dream

Also featuring:

If you’ve ever felt like your business only works when you’re falling apart, this one’s for you.

Hit play. And remember: Serenity now… burnout later.

Tired of hearing “just start a business” like it’s some kind of life hack?

In this episode, we rip the shine right off the Instagram version of entrepreneurship and get into the stuff no one wants to talk about: the isolation, the decision fatigue, the mental load, the panic attacks, the overthinking, and the moments you seriously consider applying for a job you’d normally run from.

No formulas. No funnels. Just three entrepreneurs exposing the messy reality behind the highlight reel—like second-guessing every decision, wondering if your LLC came with a manual, and realizing “just start a business” is the worst advice ever given.

If you’ve ever felt alone in the chaos—you’re not.

Introducing: THE RON TABLE — Episode 1 is officially live!

Where real people, real entrepreneurs, and real talk crash headfirst into unfiltered, unpolished, and sometimes uncomfortable honesty.

This isn’t just another podcast. It’s a table full of bold takes, hard truths, belly laughs, and brutally honest convos about business, leadership, startups, recruiting, growth—and all the messy sh*t no one warns you about.

Whether you're leading a company, plotting your escape from your 9-to-5, or building something from scratch— pull up a chair, and maybe a strong drink.

The advice is real. The stories are raw.

The takes? Sometimes borderline ridiculous—but always what people need to hear.

This week, Nicole Gray, CTACC and I dive into what it’s REALLY like to become an entrepreneur.

-Not the Insta or FB ad versions.

-Not the “12 steps to freedom” pitch.

-Not the “Buy this course and manifest millions” BS.

Because if starting and scaling a business was that easy… the Kardashians would’ve franchised it by now.

So yeah—follow us, tune in, and welcome to The Ron Table.

We’re not here to sugarcoat it. We’re here to say the stuff everyone else is too scared to post on LinkedIn.

“You want answers?” We think you can handle the truth 😉
