How do you build a career that spans five decades, multiple industries, and countless reinventions — and still stay excited about what’s next?

In this episode of Dream Big with Big Dreamers, host Donna Serdula sits down with Ron Levine, President of Graphic Press Inc., classic car entrepreneur, memorabilia collector, and lifelong storyteller. With over 50 years of experience across printing, music, media, and business, Ron shares the defining moments that shaped his career — from his first sales pitch in the 1970s to walking away from toxic clients and building decades-long business relationships.

🎯 In this engaging and candid conversation, you'll hear:

How persistence, humor, and self-respect helped Ron close his first big account — by walking away from the wrong one

Why relationship-building has always been his most valuable sales strategy

The difference between being a vendor and a problem-solver

How credibility by association (from Clio Awards to The Rolling Stones) helped him grow his business

What it means to keep dreaming — even at 79, taking up stand-up comedy at Second City

Whether you’re building a legacy, navigating a pivot, or just getting started, Ron’s timeless insights on resilience, personal branding, and human connection are a masterclass in long-term success.

📌 Topics: Relationship selling, career reinvention, entrepreneurship, client management, creative longevity, authenticity in business, personal legacy

Special Guest: Ron Levin.
