Stepping Out of Comfort Zones with Ronald Simmons

Send us a Text Message.

Imagine you're in the front seat of a red wagon, barreling down a hill, uncertainty ahead but a sense of exhilaration keeping you firmly in place. That's the journey we've embarked upon with Ronald Simmons, an accomplished business leader and former three-term member of the Texas House of Representatives. Ron embodies perseverance, faith, and the art of turning life's challenges into empowering life lessons, all of which he imparts throughout our conversation.

We bridge the gap between personal and professional lives, unraveling the profound impact of fatherhood on our outlook and legacy. Ron's book, "Life Lessons from the Little Red Wagon," takes center stage as it encapsulates his life's wisdom and the inspiration he seeks to pass on to others. It's not just about achieving success but about making a positive difference and reaching the heights of our potential. We also touch upon the fear of failure, the struggles of stepping out of our comfort zones, and the vital role of mentors in personal growth and development.

Wrap up the ride as Ron opens up about his legacy and a game-changing meeting with American Airlines. His story is a testament to the importance of staying fluid with plans and the magnitude of being at the right place at the right time. As we steer towards the end, we engage in a lively dialogue about books and podcasts, including how you can tune into Ron's book on Audible. So join us for a journey that's about more than success - it's about stepping out of the ordinary, embracing the meaningful, and inspiring change.
