Steve Ramona: ON Why Your Network is Your Net Worth
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week on The Merri-Cast, I’m joined by the brilliant Steve Ramona, host of Doing Business with a Servant’s Heart podcast.
Steve is all about the network – he describes himself as a “super connector” specialising in impactful partnerships through personalised introductions. That doesn’t really cover it though. He specialises in the energy industry and is involved in $5bn dollar worth of projects and $125 million in partner deals.
From his early days at his family’s health club in California, to mentoring founders and hosting more than 780 podcast episodes, Steve’s journey is a masterclass in building success through generosity, active listening and genuine human connection.
In this episode, Steve shares:
• Why you can’t do entrepreneurship alone.
• Why it’s vital for entrepreneurs to seek out mentors and guidance.
• His ASLA principle – Ask. Shut up. Listen. Ask
• Why ‘serving without expecting’ is the key to lasting impact.
• How his podcast became a business engine.
• How a moment of kindness at a grocery store changed his outlook on success forever.
It’s a conversation that will leave you feeling re-energised, re-focused, and ready to serve - because as Steve says, “When you bring value and uplift others, the universe always throws the ball back.”
