California man turns to Dave Ramsey after failed business deal cost him $2M — where Ramsey says he went wrong

Dave Ramsey had some tough love for a young caller to his show who confessed to some 'bad business practices.' Jeremy from Los Angeles is only 23 years old, but he has been running his own business for nearly two years. He told Ramsey and co-host John Delony that he took on a larger-than-normal job without asking for any payments up front. He poured $2.1 million into the project — expecting a $2.4 million payout — but the client filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, leaving Jeremy in the lurch and $280,000 in debt. How did The Ramsey Show host react? Don't miss Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says this 7-step plan 'works every single time' to kill debt, get rich in America — and that 'anyone' can do it 'There's no amount of business that's worth putting everything on the line for it,' Ramsey said in a clip posted Aug. 4. An emotional Jeremy wondered whether he should file for bankruptcy himself or take on more debt to continue working jobs and try digging himself out of this hole. Ramsey offered him a third option. Getting back on track Jeremy admitted he was willing to take lower margin jobs and foot the bill for his early clients because he didn't have a reputation to lean on as a new business owner. 'You've done amazing things for somebody your age, even though you stepped in a big old bear trap and it ripped your leg off,' Ramsey responded. He advised Jeremy to learn from this harsh lesson, and find a way to get his business back on track — without going further into debt. Instead of 'being the bank' for these clients, Ramsey said, he needs to learn how to work out payment schedules so that clients are paying for materials and the cost of labor as the project progresses. This minimizes the risk if the client is eventually unable to pay. 'The industry standard is you don't do that crap, because you go bankrupt when they go bankrupt,' Ramsey said of Jeremy's previous method. 'That's the problem, you had bad business practices.' Delony pointed out that Jeremy's reputation should be less of a concern since he'd completed around 30 jobs at this point. Read more: Nervous about the stock market? Gain potential quarterly income through this $1B private real estate fund — even if you're not a millionaire. 'You can't find 29 other people to say, 'this guy's good?'' Delony asked. 'Your reputation is much better than you think.' Jeremy ended the call with Ramsey and Delony encouraging him to keep working towards paying down his debt while ensuring his future clients pay for the work as the job progresses. Deciding on bankruptcy In general, there are three types of bankruptcy available for businesses. Chapter 7, or 'liquidation bankruptcy,' involves selling off assets to pay creditors. It can be filed by individuals or businesses. Filing for Chapter 7 may require a 'means test,' which is used to ensure the debtor meets the financial criteria. In Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the business is reorganized to create a repayment plan, and is allowed to remain operational in order to pay the installments. Chapter 13 bankruptcy is typically for individuals but can include sole proprietors. It allows individuals to restructure their debts into a payment plan, usually in a three-to-five year term, agreed on by creditors. To file for bankruptcy, a business must petition the court and pay the filing fees. From the point of the filing, creditors can no longer take legal action against the filer, and the court will determine the legitimacy of their case. The filer will meet with a trustee and creditors in order to testify to their claims. While bankruptcy can have its benefits, including providing relief to small business owners or a chance to regain profitability, it doesn't exactly provide a clean slate. Filing for bankruptcy can tank an owner's credit score — severely affecting their ability to borrow — and put their assets in jeopardy. Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 bankruptcies will stay on your credit report for 10 years, while a Chapter 13 bankruptcy will do so for seven years. It's often a good idea to explore all options available before resorting to bankruptcy. Working with an experienced accountant or financial advisor can help you understand the different paths that can be taken and help decide which is most suitable for you. They can also help you create a plan to get back on track as quickly as possible. 'I think you need to believe in you again. You did a lot of things smart, and you did two things dumb,' Ramsey told Jeremy. 'One was you believed that debt was your way up, and two was you bet the farm on one company.'

Leading With Narrative: Three Lessons For Real Estate Developers

Vivek Anand Oberoi is a co-founder at Solitario. The UAE's fast property development cycle offers a window into the power of storytelling to lift sales beyond the usual financial metrics. Through cross-border partnerships, I have watched projects succeed not just based on location or square footage, but because buyers are purchasing meaning, heritage and association. It's an inclusive narrative that promotes stakeholdership based on financial interests, economic stability and a robust regulatory framework. For the American ultra-luxury market, this may represent a shift toward a greater recognition that investors make emotional decisions first and financial ones second. I know, because I've stood on both sides of the velvet ropes. As a 15-year-old, I would gaze up at heritage hotels in Mumbai and feel like I was watching a celebrity. It was the epitome of everything I thought was truly opulent. As an actor who has crossed over into business, that emotional connection has become a competitive advantage. From my experience, here are the three components of narrative that can help developers command premium pricing and faster sales than those relying solely on numbers, decks and projections. 1. The story should come before the spreadsheet. With one of our branded residence projects, our approach was to open with a narrative that emphasized heritage, design integrity and emotional clarity. Competitive benchmarks still mattered, but we knew they were not the first point of buyer engagement. The name of the development (and our partner), Taj, already carried deep cultural and emotional resonance. Our role was to reframe what Taj could mean in a new geography. By fusing that legacy with our technology in the ultra-luxury space, we offered buyers a chance to become part of a historic shared identity. So, my advice is simple: Start with clarity of purpose. The numbers will follow. When it comes to identifying powerful stories, start by asking what moves you, not just what sells. The most compelling narratives aren't manufactured in boardrooms; they're rooted in lived emotion, in memory, in mission. What's the 'why' behind your work that would still make sense even if no one applauded it? That's usually where the heartbeat of your brand lives. Test that story by sharing it with people who have no stake: friends, team members, even your kids. If it lands there, it will likely resonate with buyers, too. 2. Trust is currency. I've found that in high-stakes real estate, reputation often outpaces capital. When you lead a project involving commitments of around $300 million, financials alone don't create momentum. At that scale, trust and credibility become the real currency. These are built through consistency, alignment and discipline. When we began building in the UAE, most broker houses didn't prioritize our projects. That changed the moment we partnered with a well-known luxury hotel company. The weight of their legacy, combined with our approach to ultra-luxury, brought instant credibility. Brokers who once declined started calling. Global hospitality and luxury brands followed. Rather than through marketing, we built trust through alignment and real performance. The only caveat here is that I already had a platform from my previous career, but access didn't equal leverage. As an actor who was also a general partner for a real estate fund, I made a conscious effort to integrate my track record, philanthropic work and partnerships into a coherent story—one that put a premium on people and shared values. For leaders looking to build this kind of capital, two principles are nonnegotiable. First, make consistency your strategy. Instead of pivoting your persona to match the room, let your values lead in every meeting, pitch and post. Second, treat every deal like a long game to earn repeat trust. Trust doesn't scale quickly, but once built, it compounds. 3. Cultural resonance is essential. One of the main lessons international investors can take from the cultural sensitivity required in Gulf and West Asian markets is the absolute necessity of understanding the local narrative before attempting to add to it. In Ras Al Khaimah (RAK), we saw this firsthand. Apart from signaling an intention to align with the region's reputation for hospitality, we also recognized a broader shift underway: The destination was steadily drawing comparisons to Las Vegas, so we acted early and with purpose. Along the way, we brought in various global names. Now we're one of the largest private developers in RAK, and we could not have gained that kind of institutional trust without building in a way that honors the cultural and emotional fabric of the place. For developers looking to build in markets with deep cultural contexts, finding a heritage partner with brand value and global recall is an important first step toward integrating into the local context. But name recognition is not enough. Whether working independently or with a local partner, your values need to translate across borders through a story that continues to resonate. If you're trying to learn about a new market, start by listening before leading. Study the local rituals, language, economic triggers and historical memory. Spend time with people. What you overlook in haste will eventually show up in your results. And when it comes to partnerships, don't chase brand equity alone. Look for alignment in values, not just valuation. If your shared purpose can't be clearly expressed, you're not ready to build together. Respect is the foundation; resonance is the bridge. Profit is for a quarter. Purpose is for life. Numbers convince, but in the highest-stakes segments, where trust, brand and perception carry so much weight, they often follow the narrative. In mature markets like the United States, this approach may find a natural home. Real estate at this level is never just transactional. An end-user looks for somewhere they can visualize themselves thriving, and an investor looks for confidence in the environment. Both are placing trust that's earned through clarity, consistency and the ability to deliver something that feels both personal and enduring. Remember, it's not the pitch deck that gets you the second meeting, but the story that makes people believe.
