A remarkable journey of resilience and achievement
Today, Ron is the founder and CEO of LeanOnWe, a company that helps families find better, more affordable home care. He also serves as an advocate for others with spinal cord injuries and competes in hand cycling and para-rowing, always pushing himself, now with new wheels and a different kind of fire.
Through the New Gold Standard, Ron shows us that there’s always a way forward. He challenges us to reimagine our own path, embrace our purpose and grow in the face of inevitable change.
Ron Gold is an entrepreneur, healthcare advocate, speaker, writer, athlete and creator of The New Gold Standard – a framework for turning life’s toughest setbacks into powerful new opportunities.
In 2011, Ron Gold was living the life he always envisioned. He had a successful Wall Street career, a loving family, and a passion for pushing his limits as an elite athlete. In a single instant, a cycling accident left him paralyzed, ended his career, and robbed him of his independence. He went from providing for his family to depending on them for survival.
On the long and grueling road back, Ron not only found the depths of his resilience, he learned to reimagine what’s possible and redefine success.
SPEAKING
Ignite the power of your NEW GOLD STANDARD
“Change matters. How you respond to change matters most.”
WHAT IS THE NEW GOLD STANDARD?
Long ago, the monetary Gold Standard set the value of currency around the world—until the world moved on, leaving the Gold Standard behind.
That’s exactly how Ron Gold felt after a catastrophic cycling accident left him paralyzed. His career was gone. His independence was shattered.
He felt obsolete.
But Ron refused to be defined by what he had lost. He blazed a new path forward and created his very own Gold Standard.
The New Gold Standard doesn’t dwell in the past. It’s a framework for growth, proving that when we face adversity with resilience, imagination, purpose, and collaboration, we don’t just survive—we redefine what’s possible.
Ron Gold challenges audiences to see adversity not as the defining factor in their lives, but as the backdrop against which their choices will define them. In those moments, we discover who we are, what we stand for, and the doors we have the power to open next.
THE NEW GOLD STANDARD empowers audiences to:
Build resilience in the face of change
Think creatively to find new paths forward
Identify what truly drives them to seize the moment
Embrace connection, collaboration, and diverse perspectives
Take concrete steps to reach their full potential
Fight for what matters most
I believe everyone can create their own GOLD STANDARD.
-Ron Gold
The lessons, inspiration and motivation you have captured apply to everyone in every circumstance of life. I didn’t know what to expect. What you have created is truly inspirational on so many levels. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
