In this episode, Nick Ford breaks down the exact side hustles he used to leave law enforcement without risking his family’s stability. From building an ATM business and merchant services as passive income vehicles to transitioning into AI automation, Nick explains how small, strategic moves created real confidence—not just extra cash.
Nick shares why part-time effort can still produce life-changing results, how mindset matters more than money when making the leap, and why marketing and AI are the most valuable skills to learn heading into 2025. He also opens up about betting on himself with a young family, taking a pay cut, and building a future that prioritizes freedom, fulfillment, and optionality.
This episode is a must-listen for first responders, military veterans, and anyone looking to build income outside the 9–5 without burning everything down.
