Conversations with Ron Jones

Today we’d like to introduce you to Ron Jones.

Hi Ron, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I started my company in 2014 because i saw so many talented people around me that just needed a platform. I decided to help them with marketing and the rest is history. I started CMi and then a few years later I taught myself how to code and build apps. Now we are a tech and marketing company

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It has been far from smooth. The hardest part is staying consistent and motivated until the results come. I feel like we still aren’t where we want to be yet but we make progress every day and that’s all you can ask for.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am a software engineer that builds mobiles apps, writes poetry and plays a lot of basketball. My favorite project I made so far is ATH – Pickup Basketball App.

Are They Hooping is the #1 app for pickup basketball! We allow users to see whose playing basketball real time on a live map. We also show open gyms in your area equipped with gps navigation. Not only do we have real time data but we allow you to schedule games in advance. Plus messaging, friends, highlights, customizable skins and an incredible soundtrack with guest features as large as Tank and Rick Ross! Finally, one of the best parts of the app is that you can make real money! essentially get paid for hooping.

I also have published 2 poetry books called “The Ill Lines of an Ill Mind” and “The big 30”

We’d love to hear about how you think about risk taking?
I believe risks are necessary. Without taking a risk you’ll never break through to the next level of anything in my opinion because it’s always easier and safer to stay where you’re at and comfortable. I try to take calculated risks often when opportunities come my way
