that's coming up big on the news with a christmas party that dave uh recently hosted that uh became
quite a mess we got a lot to talk about today okay the very first thing we got to talk about
is a video that was put out by chris hogan just a couple days ago where he announces that he is not
with ramsey solutions anymore this is the guy and i actually have his other book back here
retire inspired okay so he did this book he did this other book everyday millionaires
he is a prominent voice on the dave ramsey show and even has his own podcast well he did until
just recently really the reason behind this is unfortunately chris has been subject from what
i understand and what i'm reading to some extra marital affairs and as a result of that was
terminated due to some of the restrictions and requirements and job type of contracting that
goes behind working for ramsey solutions but as we dig into this things get very very interesting
by the way everything that i mentioned in today's video will be linked down in the description
so you can check it out for yourself but let's start first with chris hogan and then we're going
to move on to this other lawsuit that's that's currently brewing and also this christmas party
thing so there's a lot of weird things going on here the very first thing okay there's a blog post
from melissa hogan melissa hogan is the ex-wife of chris hogan well come to find out back in 2005
chris hogan gets to meet dave ramsey dave ramsey and him develop this connection and b he becomes
kind of this personality on the dave ramsey show not only that he creates his first book
which is retire inspired and he begins this whole thing about being america's voice on retirement
anything you needed to know about retirement or baby step four in the dave ramsey program
was kind of covered by chris hogan now of course during this entire period of time dave ramsey has
always been known for helping people get out of debt start building up their wealth he has helped
me as well i discovered dave right around 2013 2014 started listening to the podcast every day
on my way into work and then i got this book right here the turtle money makeover and i decided to uh
get busy right away and so i got out of all the debt and everything like that and currently
we're on baby step six which means paying off our mortgage but i come to find out that you know dave
is very hardcore about certain biblical principles and that means things like pre-marital sex and
extramarital affairs and unfortunately chris hogan is subject to that so in the blog that his wife
just recently put out again link down below in the description if you want to check it out right
after this video she goes into a little bit more detail on what happened she obviously recognizes
the fact that oh it looks like he was recently terminated he put out this video on youtube and
now here we are ramsey solutions according to the blog post put out by melissa hogan
knew about this extramarital affair as early as 2018 so that's like how many years ago now
so they knew about this going on and they decided instead of terminating chris hogan at that point
that they would put them through this rehabilitation program and it basically involved
of course marital counseling getting involved in their church kind of talking it through with
some pastors and things like that but where things get i think a little bit strange in this is that
ramsey solutions as the employer of chris hogan had this clause again all according to what i'm
reading here on her blog that they had to report all of these personal details when it came down to
the marriage consultations to what was being said to how things were progressing to the employer so
basically dave ramsey and the ramsey solutions company otherwise known as lampo group llc
had the full rights to all of the personal details of what was going on in these marriage counseling
sessions and everything in between and she goes on to say that there has been times that she
would go to meet with dave or go to meet with uh representatives in the dave ramsey corporation and
or should i say lampo group and they would pull her in and start talking to her about some things
and being very aggressive there was a period of time that she references on her blog where she
wanted to meet with dave and she was met with not just dave but two other board members and
completely annihilated and ripped apart for giving away too much information publicly of course
they're worried about the media taking advantage of this and maybe some things that aren't exactly
true getting out to the open world and of course that becomes a complete and utter mess
for dave ramsey now remember this is a 42 million dollar company based in franklin tennessee they
just recently opened a whole new studio set back in 2019 they're listened to by millions of people
on their podcast dave ramsey is a very well-known name and of course something like this could go
quite backwards if you remember there's the recent scandal of of course matt lauer at nbc
and some of the other things this is a big deal and i can see why they're a little bit
nervous but i do think it's a very strange that they would actually go into the personal life
to kind of monitor what's going on what do you guys think about that comment down below let me
know your thoughts on that particular piece well anyway so long story somewhat short now we're at
this point where they get a divorce no longer husband and wife things continue on and here we
are it's now march of 2021 and just recently a couple days ago i think it was march 10th chris
puts out a statement on his youtube channel that he's no longer with the company now he
doesn't go into any details he just basically says i've had some i think it was misconduct
and as a result i'm no longer with ramsey solutions and that was the end of that that's all
it was said so thank god we kind of have this blog to really understand kind of the other side of the
story i definitely feel for melissa hogan who was going through all of these very interesting trials
i mean imagine if you had something personal going on in your life and your employer had full access
in real time by the way in real time to know exactly what was going on with you that's a
little bit weird it's kind of a little bit of an invasion of privacy in my mind and sure you could
have maybe a contract i'm not a lawyer but you could maybe have like something in a job contract
that allows you to have certain rights but don't you think that stretches a little bit beyond
like a reasonable right to know somebody's private information i don't know it just seems a little
bit strange to me and then that leads us to the recent lawsuit now there's a lawsuit out there
and this lawsuit is against of course the lampo group which is the llc that represents ramsey
solutions and the group within that this is a particular issue with somebody that had
pre-marital sex well why do we know that this person had pre-marital sex well apparently what
was going on is that this person got pregnant and of course everybody at ramsay solutions knew that
this girl was not married so because that violated what they focus on with biblical principles of not
having pre-marital sex she was terminated for that issue but the issue she has with this and i
think some of this as we dig into the lawsuit we start to realize that she was terminated almost
right on the spot as they found out that she was pregnant or as they found out that there was some
pre-marital sex going on she gets terminated but then chris hogan they find out about this in 2018
he gets an opportunity to try to repair and you know go through this counseling
with his marriage giving him years upon years of course a whole year goes by then they have a
divorce and then another two years go by and that to me is just a little bit interesting because
why would we get to that point of saying wait a minute we want to give this person the ability
to recover himself and rehabilitate but this person no now of course one could argue well
this uh you know issue here with chris hogan is that he's a prominent figure at ramsey solutions
giving him that right versus somebody that might be behind the scenes back a house in some type
of capacity administrative it doesn't matter as much but where's the fairness in that that seems
a little bit strange to me so we have chris hogan we have this girl that was terminated that has a
lawsuit pending and then we have the christmas party now the christmas party is interesting
a big christmas party hosted by dave ramsey that's fine that's cool right do your thing reward your
employees have a good time that's always important but where things get a little bit strange here is
that they hire some people to help obviously run the event and in some of the contracts
found by some local news stations they realized that they were specifically asking the caterers
and the people that were serving the food not to wear masks or gloves and now we're talking about
the pandemic we're talking about december 2020 and we're obviously still in the midst of all
the shenanigans that have been going on since last year march 2020. so you're in the middle of this
and you specifically ask don't have the caterers wear mask i think that's a strange request on top
of that there were a lot of people just kind of gathered around having a good old time dancing
the night away you got a casino apparently going on and no mask being worn so that becomes a little
bit of a challenge for one particular husband of an employee that worked there so you have this guy
who goes with his wife and he's like hey something this i don't like this i don't like the fact that
we're not being safe i don't like the fact that we're not wearing masks and whatever so he makes
some type of comment about it she gets terminated she gets terminated for his displeasure that he
announced about the party and how it was being run i don't know what do you guys think about that too
so here we got three different issues somewhat similar in the sense of people either being
terminated or not based on potential favoritism or maybe preference over somebody that might have
a little bit more prominence than the other there's a lot of weird things going on guys
this is all over the place don't you think i think it's really important to think about you know what
besides the christmas party mess here we got somebody that got pregnant premarital sex we don't
know if maybe they were planning to get married or if it was just something that was whoops but
whatever we had that happen then you have chris hogan with uh some affairs going on and things
like that you know outside of that kind of stuff i think that around the world first of all this is
crushing you know somebody that has followed dave ramsey it really disappoints me that chris has had
this happen and it is sad and i feel bad for the people involved we all have problems though and it
may not even be that maybe you're struggling with some type of an addiction maybe you know somebody
that might be going through a hard time in depression and i think what is so important is to
from a biblical perspective right i would think wouldn't you want to extend that hand to anybody
not just chris hogan who's prominent but also to that person that had pre-marital
sex or somebody that may have an opportunity to better themselves and may need your helping hand
and your guidance now i'm not saying go and dip into their private life like they did with chris
hogan i'm just saying point them in the direction of a good resource it's something that can help
them become a better person that's my personal opinion but until next time i got some other
videos outside of today's topic that you might find interesting go check them out
and until next time keep living your sweet life we'll see you on the next video
