Got recruited by Dave Ramsey himself (for a cut in pay) to work there
Author of
Gazelles, Baby Steps And 37 Other Things Dave Ramsey Taught Me About DebtStuff Christians Like
Author of Quitter – Closing the gap between your day job and your dream job
Buy Quitter – if you don’t like it send me the book and the receipt. I’ll pay you for the book and your postage. PERIOD
Quitter Conference -
JOIN ME IN SEPTEMBER AT THE QUITTER CONFERENCE
One of the BEST people to follow on Twitter. Wittiness has to fit into 140 characters so it was built for someone like Jon. It’s Jon sized comedy.
That’s the scam. Strong words, but true. You’ve been scammed. You traded years of your life to be part of a giant con in which you are most definitely not the winner. If you’ve been playing that game, it’s no wonder you’re frustrated. That game is over. There are no longer any great jobs where someone else tells you precisely what to do.
“How long does it take your dream to become a full-time job and sustain you? Longer than you want it to.”

Great interview. Both of you are very inspiring. I’m buying Quitter today.
@jwilkers Good decision. Phenomenal book by jonacuff
This hit me at just the right moment. I have Thanks to @jwilkers for pointing me in this direction. A very inspiring conversation.
I have heard jonacuff on many different podcasts and what stands out is the passion behind his work as he repeats some of the same information again and again. It goes to show that we must be willing to do the same thing over and over again.
Thank you Andy and Jon for this episode.
K, bye
@christophermust jonacuff You’re welcome. He’s one of the easiest interviews I’ve ever done. He’s a pro.
