We’re excited to have the The Dave Ramsey Show as one of our monthly sponsors in September.
I had the opportunity to interview them and get to know their company a little more recently:
1. We hear that The Dave Ramsey Show has made a huge change after more than 20 years on the air. Can you tell us more about that?
In August we launched The Dave Ramsey Show video channel and app. This new channel allows us to reach more people and give them a behind-the-scenes look at our show, our team, and our listeners.
People can watch callers live in our lobby doing their “debt-free” screams, and see background information about their journeys to becoming debt-free. We also have great content that plays during the breaks from our other personalities.
2. Where did the idea for the video channel come from?
A lot of people want to listen to the show, but aren’t able to because of their schedules or location. The video channel meets people where they are, and lets them consume the show in a way that best fits their needs.
3. What do you hope this new way to consume The Dave Ramsey Show will accomplish?
Our goal is to provide hope to as many people as possible. The video channel allows us to help more people positively change their financial situation through more content and more opportunities to consume the content. The channel is available to people 24 hours a day, no matter their location, so there’s always an opportunity to watch.
4. What’s your 30-second pitch on why someone should watch The Dave Ramsey Show?
No matter where you are financially, the Dave Ramsey Show will help you find answers to your questions. We have callers that are facing bankruptcy and foreclosure, and we also help callers who are building serious wealth. Money touches every part of people’s lives, and we cover all of it.

We’ve facilitated Financial Peace for years and can’t recommend Dave Ramsey enough! What he teaches works if you work the steps in the order he recommends. A mistake often made is to move ahead before you are ready. For instance, if you are on Step 2, you should not be investing even if your company matches the 401K contribution. We made this mistake initially, but it was easily corrected – dropping the 401K contribution for a few months did not harm our investment portfolio.

We’re huge Dave Ramsey fans! I was so upset when his TV show went off the air, but have been trying to listen on Iheart…. now I’ll try this channel! Yay! We’re in Baby Step #3…. truly life changing when you get a handle on your finances.

I am a huge fan of Dave Ramsey! He is spot on with his views on money management, and I love that he himself has worked his way out of debt. That makes me feel like he truly understands where his listeners are coming from, but he can also show them the way out and free of the bonds that financial debt can bring. We are still on Baby Step 2, but that is ok because we are at least moving forward instead of backwards like we had been for so long!!!
