best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the guy who makes sense of the chaos
In a world defined by noise, change, and chaos, even the best leaders can feel stuck. They want to do the right thing, they’re just not sure what the right thing is. They’re overwhelmed, under-inspired, and facing pressures that can’t be solved with yesterday’s playbook.
That’s where Ron comes in.

That ends today.
Purpose isn’t about lofty ideals, feel good slogans, or empty promises. It’s about action. And momentum. And unstoppable growth. Purpose isn’t a slogan. It’s fuel. And when you harness it in the right way, you don’t just move forward, you accelerate. You evolve your people, your processes, and your potential.
When purpose is truly unleashed, it doesn’t just support growth, it drives it.
See, AI Pioneers usually create more chaos than brilliance and AI Resisters drag everyone five steps back, justifying the comfort of the same old routine. Truly great leaders engage both to spark an insurgency that consults instead of threatens, collaborates instead of declares, and propels instead of fails.
Meaningful connections aren’t build with more leads, more platforms, or more data. They’re built by purpose, defined by actions, and adopted through communications. Organizational performance doesn’t need to be complicated. It needs to be focused. Leaders and businesses simply need to align what you think, what you do, and what you say.
Think Do Say has powered strategy and creative for a diverse group of organizations from Google, Microsoft, and Walmart to Unicef, Scouts, and all the real estate, insurance, CPG, and start-ups in between. This keynote isn't just inspiration, it's a toolkit. Your people will leave armed with the mindset and tactics required to grow the currency of attention and trust.
When employees’ personal values and goals align with the company’s values and goals, everything changes. But alignment doesn’t happen by accident. It requires intentional leadership, a strong employee experience, and a culture that connects personal purpose to organizational success.
This powerful and practical talk is designed for organizations that want more than just compliance from their people, they want commitment. It will explore what leaders must do to create a culture where alignment isn’t forced, it’s felt. It will also reveal what individuals need in order to fully engage, take ownership, and find meaning in their work.
This is the roadmap to transforming the employee experience (EX) into an exceptional customer experience (CX) and sustainable growth.
For the individuals in the room, this talk will help them connect the dots between the company’s purpose and their own role in bringing it to life. They’ll gain a clearer understanding of why their contributions matter, what is expected of them, and how they can grow while driving success for the organization.
This isn’t just about improving culture. It’s about making alignment the foundation of growth. Because when employees thrive, the business thrives.
Data may be the new oil, but stories are the spark that ignites human connection. Somewhere along the way, business leaders became so obsessed with KPIs, spreadsheets, and efficiency rates that they forgot one simple truth: **numbers don’t move people—stories do.**
This keynote is a wake-up call to ditch the data dump and embrace the *story spark*. Numbers shouldn’t replace stories—they should *inform* them. Because when you weave insights into compelling narratives, you create deeper connections, inspire action, and turn passive audiences into engaged believers.
Your customers, your brand, your experiences—all have stories worth telling. But too often, those stories get lost in a sea of graphs and tables. In this session, you’ll learn how to **collect, curate, and share** the stories that captivate, persuade, and drive real impact. Whether you’re engaging clients, motivating teams, or building a personal brand, you’ll walk away with the tools to transform raw data into meaningful moments.
It’s time to re-humanize your message, re-energize your communication, and rediscover the power of storytelling in business. **Leave inspired, equipped, and ready to tell the stories that matter.
This is where Ron is different.
With close to 15 years performing, he can be funny. With over 25 years as a business leader and entrepreneur and working with a wide array of global clients, he understands the content. With a commitment to preparation, Ron works with clients to establish threads between speakers, reinforce key topics, provide executive summaries/valuable lessons and keep the day moving in a fun and appropriate way.
Aligning purpose with business strategy is the catalyst for growth
The days of mission-driven purpose are over. Saving the planet, fostering rights, showing the human side of your company—these are merely table stakes for any business that wants to thrive in a caring world. But when it comes to your organization’s purpose, the truth is, it is all about driving growth.
With a warmly contrarian style, Ron's best-selling book challenges outdated thinking about corporate purpose to show how aligning strategy with purpose unlocks amazing experiences for clients, partners, and teams while driving unprecedented success. No fluff, no buzzwords—just a clear path to making purpose matter.
“The most fun and impactful book on purpose I’ve ever read.”
Jesse Cole, owner of the Savannah Bananas, creator of Banana Ball, and Author of Find Your Yellox Tux

Podcast: The Coup
From food and banking to masculinity and entertainment, the business and cultural establishment faces an insurgency. The rebels want nothing to do with the old ways of selling, building, or doing things. It’s not just disruption. It’s a coup.
I shouldn’t read your values. I should experience your values. And I experience your values through the actions of your people, not the slogans on your website.
