The Ramsey Show Reacts to Jordan Peterson's Career Advice! 

I agree with Jordan Peterson. They didn’t understand the context. It’s not about the money is about your mental health in a job you hate

Keep in mind, Peterson is a clinical pyschologist. He is not talking about the fiscal or career side per se. He is talking about the mental anxiety that some people have from taking risks. This is the mental and Peterson is arguing the fact that mental anxiety come with risk It is better for that person to take the risk ti do something different than risk to stay where you are which you already miserable

As Peterson said himself “watch more”…..he certainly does not advocate dropping a job with no plan.

"We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces and regret weighs tons." - Jim Rohn

Bet Ken is looking for another job where he can finish his thought when asked a question

Wow you guys missed the mark entirely

Dave's gotta stop interrupting Ken, it''s becoming a meme at this point 😂

Great dialogue, but I would love to have heard Ken’s response without interruption

Peterson is right, there's a ton of risk in getting a new job. There are new coworkers, bosses, pay structure, office politics, and things can always be worse. But Peterson goes on to say in that clip that you are stronger than you are and face making a decision with high risk.

I thought I hated my career until I found a great company with excellent people, and now I know that career was always perfect for me. It was never the career. It was always the company. It was the culture of the company and the people I was surrounded by. Now that I'm out of the toxicity, I can love my career.

We need a Jordan Peterson and Dave Ramsey podcast episode!!!

🤦‍♂️ If you listen to his “UNEDITED LECTURE” on this topic which he has given NUMEROUS TIMES, he repeatedly says “Do not quit your current job without having something else lined up.” He even goes as far as to say to have an alternative job offer EVEN if you are just going to negotiate a higher salary! For Goodness’ sake, do your research people!

Let him talk, Dave! He is smart that’s why you hired him. 😆

Dave/Ken is my least favorite host combination. Dave constantly interrupts Ken. It’s uncomfortable to watch and listen to

We need a Ramsey/Peterson podcast yesterday! Seriously why hasn’t this happened yet? Would love to hear both talk about finance, ethics, God and the impact that independent individuals with integrity have on their families, communities and state

Ken: Starts to talk... Dave: Let me finish your thought for you cause I am smart.

It would be nice to let Ken speak without interruption! He did deal with it well.

Dr. Peterson is spot on. They are doing EXACTLY what media outlets do and have taken him out of context.

My two favourite grumpy old guys who actually tell the truth. This should be a teaser for when Dave and Jordan have a real, two-hour discussion together.

Jordan Peterson is spot on. And he played devil's advocate on both options in a more simple way that Dave and the other guy does.

I’ve had a lot of different jobs before I settled into my career. Most of the time, when a job was miserable it was the people I worked with who made it miserable. I worked a warehouse in college. The job itself was fine. I actually liked driving a forklift around and didn’t mind being cold lol. I just hated the whining, complaining losers that I worked with. They acted like the sky was falling every time we had a problem or lots of work to do. Similar experiences elsewhere I worked. I kinda miss the summer nights with the bay doors open and country music on the little radio haha.

Dave is like “I wanna hear your response” and then talks over the other guy the whole time.

Dave needs to be quiet sometimes and let the cohost fully explain their thoughts

Worth watching that entire interview. Peterson always lays it down straight.

Jordan Peterson and Dave Ramsey have been two father figures for me and have helped me improve my life Tremendously!! Two Giants can inspire many of the small 💕

"So the debt is the snake, and we have a primal instinct to run from it. It embodies what is truly satanic in all of us. And what you're saying is to shoulder the responsibility, to embody the Christ figure and crush the head of that snake. And the credits cards? Well that's easy. That's the apple that promises all the things we haven't earned." - not Jordan Peterson.

Lol dave doesn't let anyone finish a thought.

He can't complete a full thought without Dave interrupting him.

There seems to be more agreement here than they think. But they should ABSOLUTELY have Peterson on if possible.

I’ve never seen Dave cut anyone off as many times as he just did in this video lol

Peterson is speaking to the psychology and analysis of taking the leap to get out of a dead end job. These two are talking about the rational logic movement to the next step. It’s a bit like two different discussions.

I owned and ran a small electronics company with my wife for 24 years. After years of customers slow and no pay, ever growing supplier incompetence, and shrinking profits we all but closed down. I took the pandemic shutdowns and obtained my OSHA 30 certification also obtained my CDL-A. Now I drive heavy haul (my dream) in northern Michigan! I get paid every week, I have health insurance for the first time in my adult life, I have a 401K started, and other benefits (to many to list)! I spend most days with scenery out my windshield like a painting! I still have bad days but more days than not it feels like my feet don’t touch the ground! Keep digging there is a good fit for everyone somewhere!!

Jordan Peterson should come on the Ramsay show

As much as I like both Ramsey and Peterson, I hope this show doesn’t turn into a regular “Dave reacts to” kind of channel.

Dave let the co host talk. Come on Dave Ramsey you over talk Ken lately. It's getting tiresome. I would like to hear his perspective.

Ken gives the strongest feeling I've ever had of "making it up as you're going along".

the other guy got defensive real quick, whitou even having to, guess he thought JP was telling people to not change jobs.

JP is a true leader. He'd make a great PM. Canada is lucky to have him. Get him on the show!

Dave for the pocketbook, Peterson for the spirit.

These guys take things so literal. I work very long hours, it’s not easy. That said, my job allows me to impact lives in a big way. It doesn’t feel like work in the traditional sense. It feels like helping people & getting paid

Peterson is a gift from God

I understand that the name of the show is Dave Ramsey BUT when he constantly interrupts his cohosts it’s distracting and frankly a turnoff to watching. They both have relevant things to say and I don’t like watching Dave talk over them so often.

I love Jordan Peterson. He is an inspiration of truth and honesty.

I would love to see JP as a guest. Definitely make it happen!

You missed the point Peterson is saying the risk is rejection on looking for new career. Not saying it’s not a risk worth taking… it’s absolutely worth taking is what he’s saying… he’s just talking to the point that fear of risk of rejection is normal and to use that knowledge to leap over it and go for that new opportunity.

Kenneth, like you, I appreciate a good collar. Sorry, Mr. Bossman keeps interrupting you. You're increasing your risk by staying there.

I had to stop listening. Dave, please let your co-hosts make their point. It’s difficult to follow when you keep interrupting them before they finish their sentences.

Oh my god worlds colliding. Next thing I know we're gonna get Dave on JRE, or vice versa🤣

Remember, you were looking for a job when you found the job you currently have. So as long as you quietly job search while keeping the current job, you are only risking rejection and risking that the new job won't live up to what you expected. It's not fatal. That said, if you're 60+ you should strongly consider staying put until retirement.

Out of all the Ramsey personalities Dave and Ken just don't seem to mix at all. 😂

These two are out of their depth.

All these abilities in terms of getting and keeping jobs and climbing the ladder/developing a career are skills that need to be taught beginning in middle school at the latest. A lot of kids are expected to just know this stuff and to know how to study and learn, and it's not necessarily innate.

Dave is always talking over Ken. It’s annoying to hear on the air.

This is the problem when you only watch a clip and don't have the full context of the conversation. Would love to see this collab!

This actual video combined with God and prayer actually pushed me into a company that needed a financial coach when they required a degree from me I didn't have one but I had evidence that I taught people, loved them and showed them a new path. I got the career!!! I'm now a financial coach and I'm so happy and excited I love my life and every day!!! God is great! Proud Salvadorian Latina thank you Dave and Jordan P

That wasn't Paterson's opinion. He was trying to use people's excuses against them. He was just trying to prove that even though one thing is hard, the alternative is still much worse.

Judging by the comments we all love Dave and Jordan. Let's make an episode happen please 🙏 both these men have changed my life.

I’m so glad we followed your advice back in 1999. We now have a paid for rental and a paid for home , daughter in private school, fully funded emergency account with a years worth of wages, paid for cars always, zero debt always. And retirement is always fully funded. Thank you so much.

WhY Do ThEy UsE ThOsE SiLLy LoOKinG HeAdPhOnES wiTH a MaSSiVe MiC???!!!!

Dave is great, and their advice and message here are correct. However, it's a small section of a conversation, and with peterson you have to listen to it all and this was just a small part of it.

Love you guys but you can't out debate Jordan Peterson lol....and that TikTok clip is out of context.

It’s unbelievable how much you missed the point, took Peterson’s words out of context and missed the audience that he was trying to address.

DAVE PLEASE STOP INTERRUPTNG KEN

Dave please stop interrupting others while they talk. I know you're the boss but it's rude.

Jordan Peterson speaks from the perspective of the people he is helping, the ones who deal with these fears every day. He's helping them be brave by understanding that there is just as much risk in not taking the leap of faith, so they might as well go for it.

Jordan Peterson all day baby!!!!! Don't waste his time Dave. Jordan is needed elsewhere not destroying you and your minions on your show.

I agree with Jordan Peterson. They didn’t understand the context. It’s not about the money is about your mental health in a job you hate

It’s pretty easy. Avoid debt, save and the risk to change jobs is minimal. Make sure a job is not a dead end before you take on a mortgage. Work hard. If you become wealthy-goody- but don’t pursue wealth. It’s a trap. Material is mortal error. Never expect an inheritance. Let your kid’s use wisdom and make their own darn money. Where is the terrifying risk?

Did yall listen to the whole interview? Peterson followed that up by saying "There's no secure path...there are risks." It's not doom and gloom, it's saying if you are expecting a risk free path forward, there's not one.

I really needed to hear this today. I need to change my mindset of what I really should be afraid of... Staying in a job I don't love. Time to continue the grind.

Jordans Petersons point was simply that even if it’s really hard to find the next job, it’s still worth it ….

As a huge fan of Theo von and Dave Ramsey, it’s crazy seeing them both on the same screen lol GANG GANG

I enjoy what Dave and Jordan said as two separate ideas. I equate what Jordan was saying about the gap between the known and the unknown. You can be miserable in your current position but at least you know what to expect. Or you can take a gamble and hope that where you move to is better.

This is a good example of why you listen to multiple people with different perspectives and different expertises and then learn good judgement to make a decision. Ramsey is an expert at a type of financial management with a focus on very low-risk strategies. Peterson is an expert on psychology with a focus on creating personal fulfillment and peace through responsibility and self cultivation. They are even discussing exactly the same thing. Listen to both, and many more, and learn to use good judgement to make a decision based on all that input.

I noticed that Dave likes to cut people off when they are talking or is it just me

I love the advice my dad use to give: If you hate your job, every day will feel like work. If you’re passionate about what you do, only some days will. I’ve always loved my career, but that advice has helped me so much during the days that do feel like work.

He’s just saying don’t avoid the fear of change.

They judged a short video and came to insane conclusions that are addressed in the full interview. Do your research Ramsey Team

Dave, you have great advice but let Ken finish a sentence please. He didn't get to make his points and he was saying them with conviction.

Ken: "I love a good argument" Dave: Constanly interrupts Ken. Ken:

Peterson is incredible. With all due respect to Dave & crew, don't bother with idiotic tiktok. Deep, complex subjects require long formats to properly learn from. Tiktok reduces everything to cheap oversimplified brainless entertainment.

I’m sure Dave would love Theo Von.

He wasn’t talking about financial risk he was talking about the perceived emotional risks

I am retired now but, I worked as an RN. I switched jobs several times during my career. The two factors involved were work load and money. If management decided to put too much of a work load, this can be dangerous. You can always get another job but, you can never get another license. The money situation is obvious. One job switch, I got a lower work load with a 20% pay increase.

Jordan Peterson has an accent that gets confused with intelligence. "Stirring things up" is not a conversation starter. It's just ignorance and trolling. There is zero risk when looking for another job for a financially sound individual with a long work history. You stay in your current job and deal with it to keep your bills paid while you talk to recruiters and get your resume updated and figure out where your strengths and weaknesses are. The people who stay with their current job are often trapped by external forces such as lack of time to even look for other work, the risk you will be fired if your boss even gets a whiff of you looking for other work, most people in that situation are being exploited by their current employer to make it as difficult as possible to find a better one. You should only be loyal to the quality of your work. That's the story you sell to the next employer.

Can’t wait to see this

These guys already know their purpose and what they want to be in the workplace. JP's talk isn't aimed toward Dave or Ken here. He helps out the people who are nihilistic and spinning in circles. I don't think Dave or Ken understand JP's audience like JP does.

Jp and Dave have helped out with so many life lessons.

Dave i like watching these clips of yours, but not with your co-host, I get it dave you are the main guy and we like hearing you but why have co-hosts if you are going to cut them off all the time. you interrupt constantly.

I would LOVE to hear a conversation between Dave and Jordan 😂😂 omg that would be to die for. Great minds both of them.

None of us asked to be born so why should we care about whether we have regrets at the end of this pointless life?

I think one can also learn to love their job. I work in a warehouse, and my job involves a lot of heavy lifting. Living in Sweden, I also do a lot of work in cold weather. I didn't like it at first, but over time, I started enjoying the fact that I get to move around a lot, I'm almost never bored because there's always stuff to do, I can eat what I want because I burn so many calories (got in shape after being overweight most of my life), and there's a ton of variety on top of that. It's pretty awesome.

I can't even hear Ken!!! And why does he always look down when Dave look at him? Is he intimidated

Ken I think you are awesome and a great guy, but I really don't think you want to argue with Peterson.

Damn… You guys dropped the ball on this one. Hey , nobody’s perfect! lol Still love you guys

My advice would be to not challenge peterson to a debate. He's got all verbal ducks in a row

Jordan is keen on the saying, “Don’t throw your pearls before swine”. He tells people to focus on a goal, but it won’t be a straight path to success. You miss or adjust and goals shift, but keep moving towards it. Bad jobs can kill your body and spirit. You must treat yourself like someone you care about so you can keep growing. “There are two major reasons for resentment: being taken advantage of (or allowing yourself to be taken advantage of), or whiny refusal to adopt responsibility and grow up.” - Jordan Peterson. You must find some responsibility to bear in order for life to have meaning. If you can’t make a situation at work better, it may be risky to get out, but staying it worse.

You miss one important thing. Some jobs will find a way to FIRE YOU if they find you are looking for another job! New jobs like to investigate your current work whether they do that above board or not. ALSO, getting a good job search and interviews in without interfering with common work hours at your current job can also be difficult. They seem to miss the real world application of job change.

Why does Dave have co-hosts? He doesn't allow them to finish a sentence. Unlistenable.

There’s a balance. If you’re struggling. Make a plan. Be logical and don’t let your current emotions create additional future issues.
