My co-host today, the one and only George Campbell, YouTube star, Ramsey personality, soon-to-be best-selling author of the new book, Breaking Free from Broke, that's on presale now. Wow, I got a lot of stuff crammed into your title there, man. Thank you. I appreciate that. You got a big title today. Got a lot of stuff going on. This is a fun show.
One of my favorite things to do ever is this show. Annually, we do a show on giving because we teach you if you live like no one else later, you can live and give more. like no one else. If you follow the things that we have taught you here for 30 plus years, you will follow a process that we call, it starts with now. You have to take care of the now first.
Take care of your own household first or you're worse than an unbeliever. Then we once we get past taking care of now, then we move on and we start taking care of, you know, the future. Then now, then and then we say, you know, the future. Then we take care of family. We want to take care of changing our family tree. out past our future into the future.
And then we move on and we take care of community in the world. And you start talking about people outside your family, outside your future, outside of things. And so as your money evolves, your... vision for what to do with it should evolve. It should grow, shouldn't it?
Absolutely. Dave, you talk a lot about the myths that people believe about wealthy people and rich people, and we say that, you know, if you're a stingy rich person, you know, that those exist, but there's a lot more that are philanthropists. That's what we call them when they're generous with their money, and we want to highlight some of those stories as well.
That's the kind of stuff you can do when you have margin and you follow the baby steps. It's inspiring.
Yeah. In today's world, in a capitalistic economy... Very few people attain wealth without having the character quality of generosity. Because when you're selfish versus selfless, you smell different. You have a stink about you. And nobody wants to do business with you. Nobody wants to elevate you. Nobody wants to promote you. You're slimy.
When people meet with you, they want to take a shower after they're done. If you're that person, it's very difficult to prosper

Chapter 2: How does generosity impact relationships and community?
Wow. Yeah. You're more fun than a Tyler Swift concert, I'm just saying.
Well, I mean, and I never, and I never, um, she didn't know, you know what I'm saying? So like, I just signed the thing for like 752. I get in the car and I guess my wife could tell, you know, cause she's like totally on board with this whole thing. And, um, she, I guess saw the look on my face cause you paid her credit card often. Yeah. And I'm like, I did, babe.
And she's like, that's so, so awesome. We never saw her again. I mean, I don't even live in that state. I checked. I didn't even know if it would work. You know, I checked my statement to see if you can give a tip like that. You can. But, yeah, it worked. So I was so super thrilled. And, you know, I was also with some other people at the table, and I didn't want them –
You know, like when I was talking to her about all this, I think they were like, man, this is weird that Mike's getting into it with this server about her life and whatever. But, I mean, they have no idea what we did, and I don't care that they ever know.
No, it's not their business. It's just all of America's business now. It's between you, the waitress, and God, and your wife. But, yeah, there you go. Way to go, man. Way to go.
Isn't that fun? It is, and I'll tell you, we came from $500,000 of debt. Woo! And, yeah, so we are so— And you make Taylor Swift tickets look smart. Wow. I know, man. Wow.
I mean, we had a lot of stuff going on, and so we followed your plan, got to baby step seven, so we dug out of half a million, and now we're just, you know, we're just really excited about what God's doing in our lives, and I just want to be—I don't know. I want to follow that. And I'm excited to be a part of this team in the Ramsey scenario. Way to go, hero.
That's inspiring. In a roundabout way, he bought a waitress Taylor Swift tickets. That's how I see it in my head.
Oh, no, I can't go there. No. But it's more exciting. The headline reads better. He did not endorse the behavior. No, he just helped the poor girl who had made a mistake.

But Dave Ramsey Solutions. It was amazing through this.
This has been three years of hell.
It'll be three years.
Your hair grew back good.
Isn't it great?
Mine didn't grow back good, but I didn't have cancer. I kept thinking if your hair grew back that good, there's a chance for me, but there's not. I mean, it really did. Did you color it?
No.
It's just completely black.
Wow. It's awesome. Well, I did, you know, I had highlighted it for a few years, so I sort of forgot how dark it was, but I think it came back even darker. But yeah, I... But you know, Dave, something that I learned through this, my husband and I, we've had many conversations, is if you hear of someone in need, make that call. Pay that visit. Take that food.

Several months. We don't have to go to the store for a while. Merry Christmas. Bless y'all.
Thank you, Carol. Now how do I get these in my car? All right, Jenea, we did not forget about you, because you have been the one, like, ringing up all these groceries and honestly watching all these people get a blessing. Merry Christmas. Thank you. $500. I hope that you can find something really great to do with that. We just hope that you have a Merry Christmas. Yes, girl.

Chapter 7: What unique generosity stories are shared by callers?
It didn't take three hours to fill those buggies. It was, I feel like it was. Yeah, it was maybe like two hours, two and a half. But the first one took a while. And then we started saying, all right, you have 10 minutes.
And that helped move things along. Oh, okay. So they weren't all at the same time. We had to put them on a... They're running back to back to back. That's right. Oh, I see. We had to put them on a timeline. The edit makes it feel like they're all together. Okay.
Yeah.
Chapter 8: How does generosity shape our lives and communities?
What I found was when you first say, hey, go fill up your cart, there's like this moment of this can't be true. And then it's like, well, I'll just get a little bit. And I'm like, no.
Pile it in. Fill up the cart. Yes. Everything you can get in this cart, we're paying for it today. That's right.
And it took them a moment. And finally it clicked in. It's like, oh, I'm getting crab legs and I'm getting like steaks. Because they were grabbing little stuff. I was like, guys, you don't understand the blessing here.
Like we're using Dave's money. Don't buy cereal. It takes up too much room.
That's right. So that was a good time. So, so fun.
That's fun. That's very cool. Well done. Well done, gang. It's a lot of fun. It is the most fun you can have with money.
It is.
I mean, we say it over and over and over again, but when you experience that Secret Santa type of thing where you just walk up and randomly blow somebody's mind, fill up their tanks with gas. I mean, when we had the Fauci...
pandemic thing going we uh sent a bunch of our team over um to eat to two of the hospitals the local hospitals to the gas station next door and all the nurses and techs and docs that came up when we're filling up with gas we paid for their gas filled up all of the car It was a lot of fun.
