How to Sieze Attention and Build Trust in a Busy World with Ron Tite

Arantxa Castelino • Jun 28, 2023

"It shouldn't be about standing out, it should be about building a long term, sustainable business. But, the often the question is, how does someone separate themselves from the crowd? Through building trust on a continual basis over time - aligning what you think, what you do, and what you say."

It’s a busy world. People used to vote with their wallet. Now they vote with their time. 


People today are inundated with non-stop content. They don’t know where to look or who to trust. So how do you win their time and their confidence? My guest today has come up with a powerful approach to cut through the noise with just three words:
Think. Do. Say. 


Joining me today is Ron Tite! Ron is a best-selling author, speaker, producer, and entrepreneur who blurs the lines between art and commerce. He has been an award-winning advertising writer and creative director for some of the world’s most respected brands including Air France, Evian, Fidelity, Hershey, Johnson & Johnson, Kraft, Intel, Microsoft, Volvo and many others.


He’s the founder of Church+State, host and executive producer of the hit podcast,
“The Coup”, and publisher of This is That Travel Guide to Canada – a best-selling and award-winning satirical book. He has written for television. Penned a children’s book. Wrote, produced and performed a hit play. Created a branded art gallery. And was executive producer & host of the award-winning comedy show, Monkey Toast.


Ron’s first book, Everyone’s An Artist – Or
At Least They Should Be was published in 2016. His most recent book, Think Do Say: How to Seize Attention and Build Trust in a Busy Busy World, hit store shelves in 2019.

In this episode, Ron will share with you:


  • People are constantly being inundated with content every single moment of every single day. How do you stand out from the noise?
  • How authenticity in the content you create can build long term trust with clients and consumers. 
  • Ron uses his “think, do, say” theory to show how one of the oldest manufacturing brands in the world recently went through a reinvention that sets them up for generations to come.
  • Helpful tips on how business owners can learn to be creative in their own business and how you can use everyday tasks to kickstart that part of your brain.
  • Why business owners should cut the jargon.

Valuating your book of business
By John Novachis 07 Dec, 2020
When speaking with independent financial advisors, I'm often asked “what is my business worth and how can I make it MORE valuable?” The issue with most valuation methods is that no single approach is 100% correct. Many involve making assumptions that can each impact many “sensitive" variables. In my simple world, the value of any business or transaction for that matter is what a seller and buyer agree is a fair price. To reach an agreement on a fair price, both parties need to see value in the deal.
