Detroit Fox News Host: What it’s REALLY like hosting a TV Show | Ronia Shamona

Ronia Shamona has spent 20 years in local news. Overnight shifts in Las Vegas. 20 years of live TV. Now she anchors FOX 2 Detroit Live in the 2 and 3 pm hours and hosts her own segment, Rona's Rundown. She did ten years on overnights before she had kids. After two kids and a stretch of postpartum on that schedule, she said it became impossible. She stepped away for six years to raise her kids before coming back to the chair… Now she is back on dayside, running a live, unscripted show where she does not know what is happening until the camera turns on. She still tracks missing kids cases long after they stop being news, because she is a mom first. And she is building something new, a platform focused on mental health, because she thinks people need somewhere honest to talk about what they are actually going through. What we covered: → Twenty years in news and what changed after she had kids → The Father's Day segment that got to both of us → Why she thinks being yourself is the only thing that works on live TV → Interviewing Akon, Joan Rivers, and the Trump family She has sat across from Akon and the Trump family in the same career, and the story that stuck with her the most was a dad on a Father's Day segment. That tells you everything about how she actually does this job. Thanks Ronia for stepping out of the anchor chair at FOX 2 Detroit to sit down with me. Go watch her weekdays at 2 and 3 pm. *Chapters* 0:00 Intro 1:07 Twenty years in news, and how overnights nearly ended it 2:32 The live TV moments that never leave you 5:40 Being herself on air, even during today's live rescue 7:32 A day in the life of an unscripted anchor 10:26 Breaking news, four studios, and why every market feels different 15:30 The people she puts on air and the platform she's building next 18:13 Rona's Rundown and the fight to keep news positive 23:13 UFOs, the JFK files, and the political show that wrecked her 30:15 A torn hamstring, Akon, and the moment she will never forget *Connect with Ronia* https://www.linkedin.com/in/roniashamona/ https://www.instagram.com/tvronia/?hl=en https://www.linkedin.com/company/wjbk-tv-fox-2-detroit/ https://www.instagram.com/fox2detroit/?hl=en https://www.facebook.com/WJBKFox2Detroit/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dillon-england-show--6370921/support . *Connect with Dillon* https://www.instagram.com/thedillonenglandshow/ https://twitter.com/imdillonengland https://www.linkedin.com/in/dillonmengland/ https://www.facebook.com/dillon.england.5 *Sponsor — Broadcast Brew (Low-Acid Coffee)* Order our LOW ACID COFFEE “THE BROADCAST BREW” Thank you to Cool Beans Coffee Brewery for your partnership. https://www.coolbeanscoffeemi.com/product-page/broadcast-brew-low-acid-blend *ABOUT THE DILLON ENGLAND SHOW* Authentic conversations with interesting people across personal growth, entrepreneurship, and lifestyle — direct, faith-forward, Detroit grit.

THIS Is Why Most Businesses Stay Stuck | Dr. Tim Tenneriello

Dr. Tim Tenneriello started out as a high school athlete who wanted to coach… which turned into a career running schools, then buying and scaling companies, then rebuilding wealth management practices from the inside. Through his career journey , he learned nobody actually cares about your resume if you can just help them get from point A to point B. That mindset took a struggling school to the top of its portfolio in four years, grew a company from $5M to $9M in his first year, and eventually led him to Procyon, where he now helps a team of 85 people do the same thing for their clients. In this episode of The Dillon England Show, we covered: → Why buying an existing business can beat starting one from scratch → The imposter syndrome that doesn't actually go away → What a rising tide needs to work, and what a sinking one does too → What Procyon does for business owners, from family office services to M&A support The big takeaway: the money follows the growth of people… Every. Time. Thank you to Dr. Tim for making the time to sit down and get into all of it.

"The breadwinner trap almost broke us" | John Glon

John Glon spent a decade at GE climbing a ladder he wasn't sure he wanted to be on. He left corporate America in 2014, bet on himself, and built Great Lakes Essential Power from the ground up in Michigan. The company grew but Covid hit hard. When the debt piled on John found himself running a business on an operating system while ignoring everything it was supposed to fix. He was golfing and connecting. He was showing up great for everyone except his team. From these hard lessons, he became a Bloom Growth OS coach and now works with entrepreneurs who are willing to get uncomfortable. What we covered: → How John pitched GE on letting him go independent and actually pulled it off → Why running a business on an operating system isn't enough if the owner's checked out → The difference between owner-led facilitation and having a real third party in the room → How the "excuse chair" followed him from a college fraternity into his marriage → What his 19th anniversary looked like, and why a park and a DoorDash pizza ended up being the best night they'd had. John, thanks for sticking around after a long morning running the event. Getting to sit down after all of that and have a real conversation - that's the kind of thing that doesn't happen enough. *Chapters* 0:00 Intro 1:00 Who Is John Glon 3:26 What Is Bloom Growth and Why He Coaches It 7:05 The Value of a Third Party Facilitator 11:07 How John Built Great Lakes Essential Power 15:00 When the Business Started Slipping 16:12 The Turning Point: Bob Shin and Starting Over 18:33 Lessons From a Fraternity Pledge and the Excuse Chair 22:05 Vulnerability, Momentum, and Being Honest About Where You Are 24:02 Marriage, Showing Up Wrong, and What It Cost 33:07 The Best Night of 19 Years (DoorDash in a Park) 38:09 What Bloom Actually Does and How to Find John *Connect with John* linkedin.com/in/john-glon-2375078 https://www.instagram.com/glon.john/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dillon-england-show--6370921/support . *Connect with Dillon* https://www.instagram.com/thedillonenglandshow/ https://twitter.com/imdillonengland https://www.linkedin.com/in/dillonmengland/ https://www.facebook.com/dillon.england.5 *Sponsor — Broadcast Brew (Low-Acid Coffee)* Order our LOW ACID COFFEE “THE BROADCAST BREW” Thank you to Cool Beans Coffee Brewery for your partnership. https://www.coolbeanscoffeemi.com/product-page/broadcast-brew-low-acid-blend *ABOUT THE DILLON ENGLAND SHOW* Authentic conversations with interesting people across personal growth, entrepreneurship, and lifestyle — direct, faith-forward, Detroit grit.

He Builds Software That Reads Your Car's Data 250 Times a Second | Dave LT

Dave LT works with a company that pulls data from connected cars to make roads safer: Compass IoT. He grew up in a small corner of Australia, watching the rest of the world through a TV screen and assuming he'd never really register in it. Self-confidence began to disappear in high school, but when he started saying yes, he learned that trying actually makes things possible. In this episode we got into: → How your car sends back 250 data points a second, and what that means for safety and privacy → A bus crash near his home that the data saw coming long before any accident report did → Why he left a company he'd built to join one he believed in more → Building Invest Rural to connect founders with the investors they'd never meet otherwise → The advice he'd give his younger self: back yourself The most capable people I meet are still fighting the voice that says they don't deserve to be there. Dave runs a company saving lives with road data and still wants to get better at trusting his own judgment... This gap is more common than any of us care to (or can) admit. Dave, thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing with me your time and passion! *Chapters* 0:00 Introducing Dave LT 5:07 The confidence problem that nearly stopped Dave before he started 9:38 Compass IoT and the car as a giant sensor 17:42 Road tax by the mile and a fairer way to fund roads 18:02 The freedom and privacy debate Americans will have 27:07 Road deaths, dollar figures, and a bus crash the data saw coming 30:10 Invest Rural and connecting founders in the bush 35:20 Building a better world for his kid 42:31 The one lesson he wishes he'd learned earlier: back yourself 48:10 Where to find Dave and what he's looking for *Connect with Dave* https://www.linkedin.com/in/davelt/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dillon-england-show--6370921/support . *Connect with Dillon* https://www.instagram.com/thedillonenglandshow/ https://twitter.com/imdillonengland https://www.linkedin.com/in/dillonmengland/ https://www.facebook.com/dillon.england.5 *Sponsor — Broadcast Brew (Low-Acid Coffee)* Order our LOW ACID COFFEE “THE BROADCAST BREW” Thank you to Cool Beans Coffee Brewery for your partnership. https://www.coolbeanscoffeemi.com/product-page/broadcast-brew-low-acid-blend *ABOUT THE DILLON ENGLAND SHOW* Authentic conversations with interesting people across personal growth, entrepreneurship, and lifestyle — direct, faith-forward, Detroit grit.

Is This The Best Pastry Shop in Michigan? | Bobby Blake | Bobby Blake

Most people know Blake's from the cider mill out in Armada, MI. Five years ago, Bobby Blake took that heritage and launched Bakehouse 46. Today they have six locations across Metro Detroit, from Ann Arbor to Grosse Pointe, and a menu that covers cupcakes, gourmet donuts, savory pastries, bagels, and a full cafe line. They make their donuts fresh in every single store, every morning.

You Only Get 18 Summers... | George Rivera

At the peak of George Rivera building his company, he was practically printing money, but was working 90 hours a week and hating life. The business had everything. His family got what was left. He had to stop being the answer to everything inside his company. He built the systems, transferred the ownership, and stepped back.

Why Your Business Should Be on YouTube (Even If Nobody Watches) | Trevor Baker

Trevor Baker built one of the most respected YouTube agencies in the world starting from a roach-infested apartment in New York - editing videos for $20 a pop. A LinkedIn message changed his trajectory: One conversation turned into a coffee meeting, which turned into a business partnership, which turned into even more partnerships. That gave Trevor the proof he needed that he could build something real in the media space. He went all in on Astra Media, and the company hasn't stopped since. In the episode, we talked about: → Why most businesses are completely wrong about what YouTube is for → The YouTube feature in beta right now that Trevor calls the most exciting update in recent history → How the marketing funnel has shifted, and why organic content matters more than ever → What two core values Trevor hires and fires by → Why a 50 million-follower TikTok account isn't clearing six figures, and what that tells you about platform strategy The real ROI of YouTube isn't what happens in year one… It's looking back in year three and thinking, "We should have started this earlier."

"Overnight Success" Is Usually 15+ Years of Invisible Work | Manager Jon

Manager Jon has worked with TikTok, brokered KSI fights, built podcast studios, and managed some of the biggest creators on the internet. But that's only half of it, the version everyone sees. He’s spent years grinding through YouTube channels through a difficult childhood. After one rough night with his dad, his mom tried to comfort him with, "It's okay, son. We were never made to get out." As he sat on the steps as a young man, Jon decided those words were a lie which he refused to accept. We talked through the full arc: → How a high school video with 3 million views accidentally launched his career → Why the barber shop failure was the moment he finally understood what he was building → The King's Table framework for surrounding yourself with the right advisors → How he found a blue ocean in the construction industry by solving a problem nobody else was addressing → Why pricing too low actually harms your clients So many times, we look at personal and professional wins without knowing the failures and heartache it took to get there. Jon, thank you for coming back on. It’s always awesome getting to talk and work with you! *Chapters* 0:00 - Introduction and Who Manager Jon Is 2:15 - Growing Up in Section 8: Roman Road and Where It All Began 6:20 - Getting Into Content Through a High School YouTube Channel 9:00 - The $7,000 YouTube Check and Learning to Reinvest 11:10 - The Barber Shop: Building Something Real and Losing It 14:40 - The Media Collective and the First Terrible Offer 21:55 - Rock Bottom: The Car, the Kitchen Job, and His Mom's Words 27:40 - Choosing to Go All In From $70 in the Bank 31:20 - Why Resilience Can't Be Taught, Only Earned 33:10 - Dillon's Own Lowest Point: Chronic Illness and a New Business 41:55 - The King's Table: How to Build the Right Circle of Advisors 46:40 - Finding a Blue Ocean in the Construction Industry 52:10 - Offer Clarity, Pricing, and Why Low Ticket Hurts Your Clients 1:04:00 - Paying for Rooms, Relationships, and Why It Works 1:08:15 - The SIA Framework: Signal, Initiate, Affiliate 1:09:30 - Where to Find Manager Jon *Connect with Manager Jon* https://www.instagram.com/managerjon \https://www.instagram.com/creatorsdenofficial https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-cater-840185198 Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dillon-england-show--6370921/support . *Connect with Dillon* https://www.instagram.com/thedillonenglandshow/ https://twitter.com/imdillonengland https://www.linkedin.com/in/dillonmengland/ https://www.facebook.com/dillon.england.5 *Sponsor — Broadcast Brew (Low-Acid Coffee)* Order our LOW ACID COFFEE “THE BROADCAST BREW” Thank you to Cool Beans Coffee Brewery for your partnership. https://www.coolbeanscoffeemi.com/product-page/broadcast-brew-low-acid-blend *ABOUT THE DILLON ENGLAND SHOW* Authentic conversations with interesting people across personal growth, entrepreneurship, and lifestyle — direct, faith-forward, Detroit grit.
