From Karate Kid to K‑Tel: A Journey of Passion, Music, and Servant Leadership

I’m your host, Steve Ramona, and I want to welcome you to a space where business isn’t just about balance sheets—it’s about purpose. Every episode is an invitation, a reminder: In business, in life, even in music, we don’t just create value—we serve. We show up with a servant’s heart in every deal, decision, and dialogue, so that our impact ripples far beyond profit.

Today’s Guest: A Story You’ll Feel

My guest for this episode is someone whose life bridges art, purpose, and transformation. He began in music, ventured into acting, and circled back—arriving at a place where his passion, story, and service intersect. His energy lit me up before the mic was even on, and I promise you—he will do the same for you.

You’ll hear stories. You’ll receive challenges. Most importantly, you’ll walk away with tools to transform not just your journey, but the lives of those you lead, serve, and influence.

Homework Before You Listen

Before we dive in—here’s a simple assignment:

How will you serve yourself and others today?

It doesn’t need to be monumental. A small act of kindness, a courageous word, or a moment of listening can shift the game. Lean in. Be present. Let this message meet you where you are.

Episode Highlights & Themes

We begin with Frank’s journey:

He didn’t choose acting—acting chose him. But his heart always leaned toward music, toward message, toward meaning.
Passion, he says, is more than excitement—it’s rooted in alignment, truth, and authenticity.
In his time with Survivor, in performance after performance, he learned this: being on stage is not just about showcasing, it’s about stewarding a legacy.
He recalled a high‑stakes moment: center stage, spotlight, alone. That was the moment he realized—the stage is yours. You own it.
He likens artistry and entrepreneurship: both ask us to do the work, prepare the craft, and then let go so the essence can flow.

We also hear about his current project, K‑Tel All Stars / Ultimate Seventies Experience, a nostalgic musical journey reimagining the songs we love—done live, with integrity, soul, and heart.

What You’ll Feel, What You’ll Take

A deeper affirmation that your passion matters—and when aligned, it powers your purpose.
The courage to show up—especially when the spotlight feels lonely.
A parallel between performing on stage and performing in business: the same energy, the same demands, the same need for trust and presence.
A reminder that legacy is stewarded, not seized. When we serve what is greater than ourselves, we become vessels of something bigger.
