Description

I started my first company while living in a shed—riding a motorcycle through winter and surviving on spare change. But even then, I believed I was building something bigger. I’m Ron Dichter, and Projecting Grandeur is a podcast about becoming who you’re meant to be before the world believes it. You'll hear raw episodes from the road, plus conversations with builders and visionaries who are still in the climb. This isn’t about faking it. It’s about becoming — boldly, and in motion.
