Ron Tite On Think Do Say – This Week’s Six Pixels of Separation Podcast

Episode #699 of Six Pixels of Separation is now live and ready for you to listen to.

These are the hard conversations to have (from a professional standpoint). Ron Tite and I are very close friends. It’s rare that a day goes by without some point of connectivity (a train of texts, a call, etc…). I’ve admired his work, his thinking, his humor and his ideas from the day that we first met. Ron has been an award-winning advertising writer and creative director for some of the world’s most respected brands. He is Founder and CEO of Church+State (originally The Tite Group), a content marketing agency and publisher of, This is That Travel Guide to Canada – a best-selling, award-winning satirical book from the creators of CBC Radio’s hit show, This Is That. His past work includes being Executive Producer & Host of the award-winning comedy show, Monkey Toast, in addition to writing for a number of television series, penning a children’s book, and writing, performing, and producing the play The Canadian Baby Bonus. In demand as a speaker on innovation, branding and content marketing, Ron continues to speak to leading organizations all over the world about “The Expression Economy” – his take on modern business. His first book, Everyone’s An Artist (Or At Least They Should Be), was published in 2016. His latest (and greatest) book is Think Do Say, looks at how consumers now vote with their wallet and their time. He even has a podcast of his own, and it’s call, The Coup. Always filled with interesting perspectives, this is a show that you do not want to miss. Enjoy the conversation…
