Ron Medlin's Entrepreneurial Journey from Small Town Roots to Digital Marketing Mastery

In this Inspirational People interview on the Share Life podcast, I'm speaking with digital marking expert, and long-time friend, Ron Medlin. 

Ron, a fellow internet marketer, is someone I orbited around via mutual friends until we met in person. We traded places on a client project years ago and have since stayed in touch, occasionally getting together for a meal and chat. Ron has been building a community-based business on Facebook, and has an insightful journey; so I wanted to get him on the podcast to share his story.

Check out our conversation below, where Ron shares the lessons learned along the way.
