Where this was said
Closing: Scripture, Quote, and Sign-Off

Dave closes the episode with Proverbs 25:21 — 'If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink' — paired with a Ben Franklin line he hadn't heard before: 'Love your enemies, for they tell you your faults.' He finds this genuinely surprising and takes a moment to appreciate it before delivering the show's signature sign-off: the only way to financial peace is to walk daily with the Prince of Peace, Christ Jesus.
Dave cited the foundational EQ research showing that emotional intelligence — the ability to manage emotions and relationships — is a stronger predictor of career success than raw intelligence.
