    The Man Giving Streaming A BIG Boost (Episode 31 ft. Ronnie Eith)

    Welcome back to 21 Minutes With… the entrepreneur turning streaming into real opportunity. This week, Brittany and Jackie sit down with Ronnie Eith, Founder & CEO of Boost TV, to unpack what it actually looks like to walk away from comfort—and build something that lasts. Before Boost TV, Ronnie’s path looked textbook successful. A standout college football player turned executive, he spent over two decades in mortgage banking and real estate, leading teams and scaling businesses in fiercely competitive markets. From the outside, everything worked. But internally, he realized he had fallen into what he calls “the trap”—stability without fulfillment. At 45, Ronnie made the call to bet on himself. What began as an experiment in social media and local television quickly evolved into Boost TV, now streaming on Roku and Amazon Fire TV. His mission is simple but powerful: give independent creators real distribution, real credibility, and real ownership—beyond the volatility of social platforms. In this episode, we dive into the moment he chose passion over predictability, why streaming carries a different level of legitimacy than social alone, and how AI is reshaping content publishing at scale. Ronnie breaks down how automation now allows creators to upload and stream content in minutes—dramatically reducing friction while unlocking growth. This episode is for creators, founders, and anyone standing at the edge of a pivot, wondering if comfort is costing them something bigger. Stay tuned. New episodes drop every week.
