Full Episode
Let's talk about both of our favorite topics, Dr. John Deloney. And it's his favorite topic. It is.
Oh, man. What a star, though. I mean, he is blown up. He's brilliant. He's quick. And he's helping a lot of people. We're real proud of him.
I have no idea how I wasn't familiar with him until relatively recently. I guess the internet's a big place, right? But he's great. He came out to see me here in Austin. We immediately had that, did we just become best friends moment. And yeah, he's phenomenal. His insights are great. He seems to have... I'm going to put this. He's got kind of a Ramsey signature to him in a way.
Quite firm, I would say. Sometimes bordering on scary. Moderately intimidating, but also sort of warm and sort of feels like he's doing it. Like a particularly brash uncle that needs to give you the sort of kick in the ass that you needed.
Yeah, that loves you, but will tell you the truth. And that's what we all try to do around Ramsey and portray both of those things. A, we love you, and B, that means we have to tell you the truth for your own good because we care about you and we want you to win. And continuing to do that horrible thing to yourself is silly.
And so whatever it is, whether it's John or any of the rest of us, but John certainly has fallen into that fold, and he is brilliant. He's very articulate. I mean, I'm in the third meeting with him in our – Uh, we're, we're talking about, you know, interviewing and talking about, uh, turning him into a Ramsey personality. And he's so quick on the draw. I went, you can do this.
All we gotta do is put you on with a microphone and start answering questions. He didn't know what it was. And I'm like, look, I've done talk radio for 30 years. You, you draw fire and reholster before the bullet hits him. I mean, it's quick. And so, uh, he, he's really, really good and he does care deeply.
How do you describe what you do? Let's say that someone meets you and they're not familiar with you. You're at a cocktail party or you're at a gathering of some kind. David, tell me about what you do for work. How do you coalesce the myriad of different things that you've got going on?
You know, these days I would just tell them, you know, I'm the CEO of Ramsey Solutions, and we put on a bunch of podcasts and a bunch of curriculum and have a bunch of bestselling books and, you know, YouTube and all that stuff. And I'm one of the people that does all that as well as be the CEO. So it's kind of like that.
