Following a global pandemic, political upheavals, economic shutdowns, and a looming economic recession, for many Americans, it has been challenging to find reasons to remain optimistic about the future.

Introducing A World of Dreams: A Journey of Discovery & Inspiration with Ron DeShay, a motivational speaking tour like no other.
A WORLD OF DREAMS: A JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY & INSPIRATION looks into DeShay's personal odyssey to encourage people of all ages to continue to believe in their dreams but also to pursue them. It is a magical journey that highlights Ron's early life and career in television and the pivots and tough decisions he made during COVID. DeShay will share how he turned his setbacks and losses into accomplishing his biggest dreams through conversation. Through shared experiences on how to reframe the negatives with performances of original music, other visual mediums, and performing arts, DeShay will show audiences how to uncover opportunities in the middle of life's biggest challenges. A World of Dreams is not just another motivational speech. For those who experience it, it will be an unforgettable event.

"If we dream it, it can be done." says Ron DeShay, CEO, President & Founder at World of Dreams Entertainment Group.
A Bastrop, Texas native, Ron DeShay was one of the developing and Senior Producers of American Idol. When Idol debuted, it was dubbed, The Show That Broke Television in its early write-ups. Ron's success on Idol was followed by developing and producing many other top television series. Among them is another FOX hit, So You Think You Can Dance. Ron is a 3-Time Emmy nominated producer for his efforts on Idol and Dance. Those strong foundations allowed him to expand his industry bases over the years quickly. After spending over two decades as an industry exec, producer, director, and content creator, Ron recently closed a significant funding deal to launch his own television network and streaming platform.
The tour will also introduce The DeShay Foundation – An Endowment for Aspiring Students of Business, Television, Film, and the Performing Arts. Annually, The DeShay Foundation will give Impact Scholarships to deserving students. These scholarships were created in honor of the late Jerry Wilhelm for her great influence in honing the gifts, talents, and dreams of tens of thousands of theater art students. Her impact is still being felt today. Through The Endowment, DeShay plans to bring one major event to Texas annually. Ron committed to working with and engaging students to provide all production elements for these events as he produced the Sounds of Sharing event in 2014 (when we brought in a cast of American Idols).
