Season 1, Episode 4

The Mindset, Strategy, and Community You Need to Succeed

Hi Reader,

What does it take to build a business that truly makes an impact? This week on ReImagining Community, I sit down with the incredible Ronda Jackson—an entrepreneur, community builder, and author—who knows firsthand the highs and lows of staying the course in business and life.

From launching Paint On Purpose to leading transformative third Saturday events, Ronda shares hard-earned lessons on resilience, collaboration, and growth. We also dive into her book, Stay the Course: Surviving the Nine Hellish Holes of Entrepreneurship, which is packed with practical wisdom for anyone navigating the challenges of building something meaningful.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next move, this conversation is for you.

In this episode we talk about:

  • How Ronda turned personal challenges into community-driven success
  • The role of mindfulness and resilience in entrepreneurship
  • Why collaboration is key to long-term impact
