The Most Unexpected (and Awesome) Gift I’ve Ever Received

Recently, I received what has quickly become one of my most cherished possessions.

Anyone who’s spent any time with me knows I speak in metaphors. Constantly. There's nothing that can't be explained through building a house, running a restaurant, baking a cake, or—yes—unicorns and toast. You get the idea.

Well, apparently over the past year or so, my team (with the help of some very clever co-conspirators) had been secretly jotting down every metaphor, analogy, and oddball comparison I made. And let’s just say... the list got long.

They took the best of the best and turned it into something incredible: a beautifully illustrated book called RONisms. It's thoughtful, hilarious, creative, and filled with moments I didn't even remember saying— kinda like that Will Ferrell debate scene in Old School. Just... blackout genius.

I absolutely love it. Not just the book itself, but what it represents—the time, care, and creativity that went into making it. I feel incredibly lucky to have had the chance to work with such thoughtful, talented people. Thank you doesn't begin to cover it.

So... I thought it’d be fun to start sharing a “RONism of the week”—with a little backstory and explanation (because let’s be real, some of them need context).

Starting next week, I’ll kick things off with my personal favorite. Hope you’ll follow along and get a few laughs—or at least a unicorn-inspired insight or two.
