Summary

Jase, Al, Zach, and Willie welcome world-famous financial advisor Dave Ramsey for a blunt conversation about the parenting lie quietly raising generations of entitlement. Dave shares hard-earned wisdom on money, discipline, and why trying to make life “easy” for kids often backfires for American families. They explore how debt, instant gratification, and misplaced ideas of fairness undermine responsibility and character. The guys challenge parents to rethink how to raise kids who are prepared for real life—not needing to be rescued from it. “Unashamed” Episode 1240 is sponsored by: https://homechef.com/unashamed — Get 50% off and free shipping on your first box plus free dessert for life! https://andrewandtodd.com or call 888-888-1172 — These guys are the real deal.
