“Mr. Ron has taught me so much that I didn’t know about entrepreneurship. I´ve learned how to start a business and everything I would need to start a successful business. The classes are interesting and fun and I´ve learned words and phrases entrepreneurs use and have learned so much already! ”
— A. Rush, Southfield, MI (7th Grade)
2020- Current
“Ron Johnson and Triton Consulting provided a very engaging and insightful entrepreneurship program for our Compton and Long Beach students. Most of our students had never been exposed to entrepreneurship concepts. His classes opened their minds to a “whole new world” and a new way of thinking about themselves and their future. Mr. Johnson drilled into our 36 students the entrepreneurship mindset in which they learned that they have to take ownership of their lives (whether or not they own a business). What made it even more impressive is that Mr. Johnson did all of this through online classes (via Zoom), for the program was conducted during the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic (Summer of 2020).”
— Michael Freeman, Los Angeles, CA (Elevate Your G.A.M.E.- Executive Director)
“Mr. Ron has been an amazing, kind, and caring teacher that has taught me many things over the summer. Mr. Ron makes things easy to understand, and is willing to wait for people to understand the material before moving on. I have lots of fun with Mr. Ron, and recommend his class to others that are interested in entrepreneurship.”
— D. Scott , Ann Arbor, MI (7th Grade)
“My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed the entrepreneurship and financial literacy workshops this summer. Mr. Ron is a phenomenal teacher. He is patient with all the participants in his workshops. He makes sure that everyone has an understanding of the material, and makes himself available to those that need help. The wealth of knowledge he has on the topics is invaluable. I would highly recommend others to enroll their children into any of the programs or workshops he is teaching.”
— Tiana Scott, Ann Arbor, MI (Parent)
“Mr. Ron is an excellent partner and instructor and our collaboration was flawless. From planning to production he was on point and executed at a high level. Not only did the students grow but so did I in the knowledge of entrepreneurship. Connect with him and connect now.”
— Damian McCalman, Los Angeles, CA (Elevate Your G.A.M.E.- Program Coordinator)
“Your entrepreneurship class has been a positive experience for my daughter. It has allowed her to think outside the box and sparked her creative energy. She has enjoyed the class and started thinking about different ways she can utilize her talents and skill set. I´m excited for her to continue to develop an entrepreneur mindset. ”

2019
“Ron Johnson hosted a phenomenal workshop for NYC Career and Technical Education (CTE) high school scholars at our annual Teen STEAM Youth Con at Microsoft. He expertly led through students through a Shark Tank simulation where they learned to analyze the negotiations, calculate business valuations, explain business terminology and prepare their own pitches. The workshop received rave reviews across the board from all scholars who attended. I highly recommend Shark Sessions to anyone who wants to inspire students to pursue entrepreneurship and to actively think about how they can use the power of their presence to change the world! ”
— Samantha Joseph, Director of Youth Career Connect, Department of Education
“Ron Johnson has been a supporter of Urban Assembly School for Law and Justice for several years, assisting our school with fundraising, recruiting volunteers, providing student with internships, and most recently, teaching entrepreneurship after school. We were delighted to have him kick off his Shark Tank Sessions workshops with our scholars. During the last session, students completed an anonymous survey. 100% of students gave positive feedback, requesting more sessions. Many students commented on the impact of understanding the complexity of business valuation as a major take away. We look forward to having him return in the fall.”
— Charon Davis, Executive Director of the Adams Street Foundation
“Ron Johnson is a gem to the community in general and to our community at Emmanuel Baptist Church. He has been an active member of our congregation, and his work with our youth is only the latest example of his involvement and commitment to the ministry and spreading the “gospel of entrepreneurship.” His Shark Tank Workshop was phenomenal. We work with youth under the banner of YLE (Youth Leaders of Emmanuel) between the ages of 13-18. Each and every single one of them was engaged from start to finish. I was highly impressed with the business ideas that they were able to come up with, but I was equally impressed with how he was able to structure it in such a way that allowed for freedom of thought to reign. I believe our teens gained even greater confidence in their own abilities, and, with that confidence, gained valuable business/entrepreneurial language and applicable concepts to apply to their business plans. I can’t wait until we do this again in the fall!”
— Rev. Stefan Weathers, Emmanuel Baptist Church
“Ron provided a dynamic Entrepreneurship workshop for our high school students! He did a great job tailoring his presentation to fit our needs. His workshop provided our kids the opportunity to take a deeper dive into entrepreneurship concepts utilizing the show Shark Tank. Our kids had engaging conversations and utilized the skills they learned to create their own pitches. Students that feared public speaking felt encouraged and empowered to share their creative ideas with the group!”
— Priya Singh, Associate Director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City
“The minute I met Ron I knew I would know him for the rest of my life. He’s is a walking inspiration and he doesn’t have to say a word. He exudes passion and no matter what he is working on he puts his whole heart into it, big or small you can expect great things when Ron Johnson is on the team. We worked in digital media together supporting multi-million dollar ad sales teams, running the well oiled machine and we have also been able to partner on his entrepreneurial endeavors. I have seen it all! I have seen Ron on the dance floor and leading a series of panels filled with media mavens and neuroscientists. I would hire him anywhere if I could. And I would partner with him if I could. Not only is he reliable and a visionary, he makes work look and feel like fun. ”
— Sara Madsen Owner of Sara Joy Madsen
“Ron Johnson delivers results! Ron worked with me shoulder-to-shoulder in developing and implementing a new online (and in-person) marketing strategy for my on-demand physical therapy practice. It was a positive return on investment and I highly recommend Ron and his services.”

“Ron is pure sunshine. Pouring his great energy into all his work, knowing him and feeling his support is truly a gift. Ron eats, sleeps, breaths entrepreneurship and is always learning and growing toward his goal of bringing more successful entrepreneurs into the world. Anyone would be lucky to have him on their team. ”
— Julie Meyer, Founder of Eat Well Global
“Ron has been more than an asset to my business and overall entrepreneurial journey. Not only is he the positive driving force a creative like me going through the roller coaster ride called entrepreneurship needs to keep my head up, but he pushes me to understand my true strengths and won’t stop until they’re revealed. His experience in business is invaluable, and his willingness to share and be transparent is something not often found. I respect his opinions, and more often then not his ideas and advice has taken me to the next level in my business. On top of that, Ron has put in physical labor, I mean hours of hands-on work (everything from building cardboard boxes for 7,000 jams to making and jarring up the actual jam itself), and done it all with a huge smile on his face, because pouring into others is what he loves, what he’s good at and what is his true purpose is in this lifetime. It’s been an honor to work alongside, for and with Ron, and I’m ecstatic to see what our business relationship has to hold in the future.”
