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.

Its time for The Ron Table!

In this episode I, along with my cohosts 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

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.
