THE RAMSEY SHOW

Dave Ramsey

I have an unusual way of looking at the world. My wife, Sharon, says I’m weird, and, truthfully, I am weird. But there’s a reason. Starting from nothing, by the time I was 26, I had a net worth of a little over a million dollars. I was making $250,000 a year. That’s more than $20,000 a month net taxable income. I was really having fun. But 98% truth is a lie. That 2% can cause big problems, especially with $4 million in real estate. I had a lot of debt—a lot of short-term debt—and I’m the idiot who signed up for the trip.

The short version of the story is that debt caused us, over the course of two and a half years of fighting it, to lose everything. We didn’t tell anyone what was going on, but if we had to do it again, we would learn from the wisdom of others who have been through it. We soon learned that we weren’t the only ones at the bottom. Barbie and Ken (you know, the couple that appears to be perfect—perfect clothes, perfect car, perfect house) are broke, and I don’t take financial advice from broke people anymore.

After losing everything, I went on a quest to find out how money really works, how I could take control of it, and how I could have confidence in handling it. I read everything I could get my hands on. I interviewed older rich people—people who made money and kept it. That quest led me to a really, really uncomfortable place: my mirror. I came to realize that my money problems, worries and shortages largely began and ended with the person in my mirror. I also realized that if I could learn to manage the character I shaved with every morning, I would win with money. I went back to my first love, real estate, to eat and to get out of debt. Along the way, I began another path—the path of helping others, literally millions of others, take the same quest to the mirror. That path led to starting Ramsey Solutions. We’ve been helping people change their lives for over 20 years, and we’re not slowing down.

I’ve paid the “stupid tax” (mistakes with dollar signs on the end) so you don’t have to, and I’m here to tell you that whoever you are, wherever you came from, and however deep of a mess you might be in right now, you can get out of it. You can take control and use the same commonsense principles I did to turn your situation around. And my team and I want to walk with you through it, every step of the way. It’s go time.

When it comes to the music, Tameka Nichole began her music interest at the early age of 5 when her grandmother, Lillie Balmer moved her to the country town of Jackson, NC, after leaving the big city of Norfolk, VA, where all of her leisure time was dedicated simply to radio and beauty. Growing up on 103 Jamz (102.9fm WOWi) and FOXY (104.3fm/107.1fm) Tameka Nichole waited by the radio every night at 8 pm every night for any World Premiers and just to record the latest songs on her Just For Me cassette tapes that came free in her hair relaxer making a way to continuously hear her favorite songs while doing something in beauty, whether it was nails or hair, she fed her desire for both.

Tameka Nichole went on to attend North Carolina Central University where she stumbled into the pleasures of music, while walking the halls of the Farrison-Newton Communications building during the first week of her freshman year, causing her to change her major from her initial interest in from computers to Mass Communications with a concentration in Broadcast Media, and minoring in business and hospitality.

Tameka Nichole found immediate interest in the campus student radio station, AudioNet Campus Access Radio where she was able to build her talent as a Radio Personality, a dream that she held since the age of 5. After becoming heavily involved with AudioNet she was one of the main on-air personality to interview/record artist drops from celebrities in the entertainment industry.

While at NCCU during her Junior year with the help of then Station Director, Truitt Oneal, Tameka Nichole become founding Organizer and President of AudioNet, affording the student station its first grant, the station to gain necessary equipment such as station microphones.

Tameka Nichole, now fifteen plus years later, her investments in people, through hospitality, esthetics, brand and artist development, she has developed a better insight on who she is and what she has to offer the world when it comes to entertainment. After years of cultivating, in 2017 she decided to simply merge of the two, Beauty & Entertainment. Tameka Nichole rebranded creating, “Tameka Nichole the Brand” and is now coined as “Your Beauty Entertainer”, the statement verbally expresses the combination of her life-time experiences in the beauty and entertainment industry.
