Ron has spent decades in entertainment, from early rejection letters to senior leadership at NBC, working on campaigns for shows most people grew up with. In this conversation, we talk about getting your foot in the door, surviving uncertainty, creativity under pressure, and what happens when the work matters but the outcome still doesn’t land.

We also get into awards, failure, boldness, people management, and why some anxiety is probably a sign you’re doing something that actually stretches you. This one sits in the space between ambition, taste, resilience, and knowing when not to settle.
