Interesting thread.
I took a look at Ramsey Solutions, formerly the Lampo Group, with the TN Secretary of State’s website and it is a one person show. I am making the presumption that that person is Dave. His marketing plan is very simple, he markets to the Christian Sector, all races and probably all denominations. His home base of operations is Williamson County, TN, it is a conservative Christian area. Is what it is!
As for Ramsey Solutions personnel practices, TN is an “at will state”. In other words, they can pretty much hire or terminate you for any reason, absence things like sexual harassment or threats to harm you. Most labor attorneys I have known will tell you there is very little you can do.
As for Chris Hogan interesting comments in the article. It does not take long to see that he brings a lot of $$$ to the company. He brings a bestselling book that rehashes the baby steps, and his Facebook page “Hogan’s Millionaires” has over 139,000 members all trying to follow the seven baby steps and become millionaires(?). I imagine his ex-wife is getting her piece of the action on that deal and the book royalties. FYI, I took a look at her website and she is very guarded about her divorce. She is an attorney; she knows how to play the game.
For full disclosure, 20 years ago the Methodist Church that we attended at the time asked me to proctor his Financial Peace University course. I had the class focus on the seven baby steps and left the few religious aspects that were in the materials to each individual to study on their own if they wished.
