Ron Smith

Typically I keep my #FollowFriday recommendations to business-oriented blogs and books, but I just finished reading “Passing Through” and thought you should know about it for three reasons: 1) It was written by a friend of mine, 2) It was self-published so he has no marketing or promotion behind him, and 3) It’s REALLY good!

That being said, I’m getting nothing from recommending this book to you…other than a rouge comment that Gwyneth Paltrow in Iron Man 2 reminds the author of me (huge compliment, BTW!). Which brings me to Robert Downey, Jr., who is on my top five list. Oh wait. Another blog post. Another day.

Coined Ron-down-the-hall (RDTH) because his office was down the hall from mine, we became fast friends and have recently reconnected via Facebook. Which is how I learned he finally wrote that book he’s always talked about writing. An editor for Southwest Farm Press, the book is quite a diversion from cotton farmers and cattle ranchers.
