It's filled with straightforward, practical tips for developing your talents, connecting with customers, and building your leadership skills.
Based on more than three decades of Ron's leadership experience, you'll discover a sense of belonging in the words of someone who has been your champion for the industry and shares your journey.

16 months, 31 states, hundreds of
retail success stories.
Starting mid-March 2022, Ron kicked off the Retail in America Tour in New York City, where retail has defined the city's streetscape for generations.
The tour was sponsored by several retail industry icons, including YOOBIC, KWI, and Spotify Advertising.
Ron hosted several in-store events across the country to celebrate the stories of retail teams, meeting with industry leaders, retail tech innovators, entrepreneurs, students, store managers, and their sales associates, and launch a full suite of audio and video content to offer a compelling new look at the changing face of American retail in 2022 and beyond.
