Projecting Grandeur

Projecting Grandeur

I started my first company while living in a shed—riding a motorcycle through winter and surviving on spare change. But even then, I believed I was building something bigger. I’m Ron Dichter, and Projecting Grandeur is a podcast about becoming who you’re meant to be before the world believes it. You'll hear raw episodes from the road, plus conversations with builders and visionaries who are still in the climb. This isn’t about faking it. It’s about becoming — boldly, and in motion.

In a world full of distractions, the biggest threat to your growth isn’t failure — it’s losing focus.

Starting is one thing. Scaling is a different beast.

In this episode of Projecting Grandeur, we map the journey from scrappy startup to a real, structured business — the kind that doesn’t rely on you being everywhere, all the time.

Whether you’re still bootstrapping or you’ve already hit product-market fit, scaling demands a new identity as a founder, new systems, and new thinking.

In this episode, I break down:

  • The real markers th...

In this episode of Projecting Grandeur, we break down the concept of the 5-Star Day — a simple but powerful system to reflect, reset, and rate your performance based on your own standards.

This isn't about external validation. It's about asking:
• Did I show up the way I wanted to today?
• Did I move something forward — even if it was small?
• Did I live in alignment with who I’m becoming?

Doubt shows up. Uncertainty drags. Some days you don't feel unstoppable — you feel stuck.

In this episode of Projecting Grandeur, we talk about what it really means to bring your best when you don't feel your best — and why the people who build extraordinary things aren't the ones who never doubt themselves… they're the ones who move through it.

We’ll break down:

  • Why doubt is a feature of growth, not a flaw

  • How to stay consistent e...

Goals without a plan are just wishful thinking — and plans without metrics are a guaranteed way to get lost.

In this episode of Projecting Grandeur, we dive into why real success isn’t built on ambition alone — it's built on clarity.

You’ll learn how to define the right metrics for your vision, how to reverse-engineer a plan around them, and why measuring the wrong things can quietly kill your momentum.

This isn’t about tracking for t...

Everyone talks about finding "the one big idea" — but most of the time, it doesn't hit you in one clean lightning bolt.

In this episode, we talk about why the right business for you is often the collision of your experiences, your curiosities, and the problems you notice over time — not just one sudden inspiration.

I’ll break down why chasing "the perfect idea" keeps people stuck, how layering your ideas creat...

Let’s clear something up: Projecting Grandeur isn’t about pretending to be someone you’re not. It’s about becoming who you already are—before the world gives you permission. In this episode, I break down the difference between performative confidence and authentic vision. We’ll talk about how projecting your future self can guide your actions today, how to align with your potential instead of your past, and why “faking it” actually...

In this episode, we explore one of the biggest decisions of your life—quitting your job to start your own business. How do you know when it's time? What signs should you look for, and how can you separate impulse from instinct? I dive into the mindset shifts, financial checkpoints, and gut-level truths that signal you're ready to make the leap.
