EP 15: Ramon Ray – The Joy of the Smart Hustle, Building Fan Base, and Thriving in the Life You Want

Most entrepreneurs are addicted to the hustle.


 


They think that a never ending to-do list of writing email
newsletters, queuing up the next Facebook ad campaign, tweeting
their latest blog post, and launching new programs is the
foundation to success and path to fulfillment.


 


That’s not to say those aren’t effective at growing your
business—and they might be just what you need to do to show your
business who’s boss…


 


… but what if there’s a smarter way to hustle?


 


What if we skip the to-do list?


 


And, what if we find that by skipping the hustle as-is and take a
smarter approach that we build our fan base, strengthen our
skills, and heighten our brand all in one fell swoop?


 


On today’s episode, I’m chatting with an old friend from my
networking days, Ramon Ray. Ramon is the founder of Smart Hustle
Media, a content platform for small businesses. He’s also a
global speaker, event host and producer, and the best selling
author of Celebrity CEO.


 


When I think of Ramon, I think of one of the best networkers I
know and his track record shows it. Not only is he a highly
sought after commentator on marketing, technology, mindset,
startup, and more—his expertise and networking skills have taken
him to the White House to present to the President’s staff, he’s
testified to Congress, he was with Ivanka Trump in India for the
Global Entrepreneurship Summit, and he even interviewed President
Obama in his first live video chat.


 


Tune into this episode to hear:


How Ramon monetizes his personal brand without offering any
coaching, programs, or selling digital products

Ways to determine what space you can be a celebrity in

Why all entrepreneurs seem naturally addicted to the hustle
