Ignite the power of your NEW GOLD STANDARD
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
