When was the last time you truly felt at peace?
Like, stress-free, heart-full, and genuinely content? In today’s grind culture, we’ve been conditioned to believe that success equals more money, more hustle, and more stuff. But here’s the truth bomb: peace is the new profit—and it’s worth way more than any dollar amount in your bank account.
In this episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast, I’m diving deep into why reducing stress and prioritizing peace is the ultimate life upgrade. I’ll break down six key reasons why choosing joy, fulfillment, and balance will always trump chasing wealth.
Debt-Free = Freedom
Here’s the thing about debt: it’s a peace killer. You’re constantly thinking about repayments, interest rates, and whether you can even afford that extra guac at Chipotle. I’ve been there—racked up $16K in credit card debt in my early 20s. It was suffocating. But guess what? Within a year, I flipped the script, went debt-free, and saved $20K in liquid cash. Freedom feels lighter. It gives you options. It’s not about avoiding all debt forever (strategic debt can work), but having control over your finances is a game-changer for peace.
Invest in Yourself
You are the best investment you’ll ever make, period. Skills pay the bills—write that one down. When you invest in personal growth—whether it’s taking a course, learning a new skill, or just reading a good book—you’re not just building your career; you’re building confidence. And confidence brings clarity, which leads to better decisions, less stress, and, you guessed it, more peace.
Build Financial Stability
Chasing trends won’t bring you peace. Sure, crypto or AI might be the hot thing, but slow and steady wins the race. Focus on creating a stable business or revenue stream that covers your monthly expenses. That’s your Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE) number. Knowing your basics are covered gives you the freedom to dream bigger—without the stress.
Boring Investments Are Sexy
The “boring” stuff—like index funds or real estate—can bring peace because they’re predictable and steady. No late-night stress checking stock prices or wondering if you’ll lose it all in a market dip. Peace comes from stability, my friends.
Say No to Hustle Culture
Running on empty just to chase some external validation? Instead, focus on harmonizing your ambition with your well-being. That means saying no to things that don’t serve you—even if they’re lucrative—and saying yes to what lights you up inside.
Focus on Your Impact
Chasing money for the sake of money will leave you feeling empty. But chasing impact? That’s fulfilling. When you know your work makes a difference—whether it’s helping others, building a legacy, or creating something meaningful—that’s the kind of profit that money can’t buy.
Peace doesn’t happen by accident, my friends. It’s intentional. You have to actively choose it—sometimes over money, sometimes over convenience. But let me tell you, it’s worth it. Imagine walking into 2025 with a clear mind, a full heart, and the freedom to do what you love without stress weighing you down.
Start small. Look at your finances, invest in yourself, and build a life that prioritizes peace. Because at the end of the day, peace truly is the new profit.

Ever thought about turning your passion into something more?
In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with Jeff Ditsworth—a guy who not only tackled this dream but absolutely nailed it. Jeff’s journey is packed with insights for anyone looking to turn a passion into a profitable side hustle while still rocking a full-time career. As an executive in financial risk management, Jeff could’ve easily stuck to the typical path, but instead, he built Pescador on the Fly, an eight-year-strong business offering high-quality, packable fly fishing gear.
Let’s face it—building a side hustle while juggling a demanding job isn’t for the faint of heart. Jeff didn’t start big; he built Pescador on the Fly piece by piece, staying focused on his mission. During our conversation, he shared some key principles that helped him keep everything balanced: effective time management, problem-solving, and, most importantly, the power of relationships.
Jeff shares the importance of identifying and solving problems in business—something every entrepreneur needs to master. The fly fishing world didn’t have packable, premium gear options that wouldn’t break the bank, so he set out to fill that gap. That’s what all successful businesses do—identify a need, then solve it. But Jeff doesn’t sugarcoat it; building an e-commerce business brings its own unique challenges, from managing supply chains to keeping up with customer expectations.
With a full-time career and a side hustle, Jeff has learned a thing or two about time management. He shares the power of building strong relationships and having a solid network—people who support you in both career and personal life. Jeff also stresses the importance of involving family in business. Not only does it keep things fun, but it also builds a strong support system that helps you stay balanced.
We also tackled a topic that’s close to my heart: maintaining well-being while hustling hard. Jeff emphasized that you don’t have to burn yourself out to succeed. Instead, consume good information, stay disciplined, and above all, pursue what lights you up. For Jeff, that’s building a brand that gives anglers what they truly need. For you? It might be something entirely different, but the principles remain the same.
So, if you’re ready to balance ambition and well-being, this episode is for you!
In this episode, we cover:
04:46 The Journey of Pescador on the Fly
10:12 The Importance of Problem-Solving in Business
14:59 Navigating E-commerce Challenges
19:57 Building a Strong Network for Success
25:01 Balancing a Side Hustle with a Full-Time Job

Are you looking to elevate your leadership game and inspire those around you?
Then you won't want to miss this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast! I had the chance to chat with William Branum, a 26-year Navy SEAL veteran and the founder of NAKED Warrior Recovery. Trust me, this conversation is packed with valuable insights that can transform not just how you lead, but how you live.
William’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. From the rigorous demands of Navy SEAL training to thriving as a successful entrepreneur and author, he brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. One of the key themes we explored is the importance of vulnerability. Yes, you heard that right! Vulnerability isn’t a weakness; it’s a strength. It’s about being authentic and open, which creates trust and fosters strong relationships—whether in the military or the business world.
We dive deep into the ‘Get Naked’ mindset, which is all about shedding the layers that hold us back and embracing who we truly are. William emphasizes that this mindset is crucial for anyone transitioning from military to civilian life, as it encourages personal development and community support. It’s a powerful reminder that we’re not alone on this journey; we need our communities to lift us up!
One of my favorite parts of our chat was discussing William's leadership training program, the Seal Leadership Challenge which is scheduled on December 6 at Temecula, California. You can learn more about the event here.
He also shared some eye-opening insights from his book, Mission Ready, which focuses on what it takes to be an effective leader in today’s world. We talked about how true leadership isn’t just about barking orders; it’s about guiding your team, delegating tasks, and preparing the next generation of leaders.
In our conversation, William discussed the ‘gunfight leadership.’ What does that mean? It’s about shooting, moving, and communicating effectively—just like in a high-stakes mission.
So, if you’re ready to take your leadership skills to the next level and embrace a life of purpose and balance, tune into this episode. You’ll walk away with actionable strategies and a fresh perspective on what it truly means to lead.

Do you wonder how some companies stay successful for decades?
In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, we dive deep into a game-changing principle that’s shaped the world's most successful companies: preserve the core, but stimulate progress. This concept, made famous by Jim Collins in his bestseller Built to Last, is all about holding onto what makes your company unique while evolving with the times.
When we say "preserve the core," we’re talking about keeping your company’s values and purpose intact, no matter what. Think of your core values as your business’s North Star. They should guide every decision and strategy, ensuring you don’t stray from your mission.
Your core values shape your company’s culture and are key to long-term success. By clearly defining these values, you're setting a standard for how your team operates and how your business shows up in the world. Whether it’s maintaining integrity, putting the customer first, or embracing innovation, your core values should align with what you believe in.
Practical Tips to Find and Stick to Your Core Values
Look Inward: Identify values that align with your personal mission.
Look Outward: Reflect on industry principles and long-term standards.
Create Accountability: Schedule regular “values check” meetings with your team to stay aligned.
Now that you know your core, it’s time to focus on progress. This doesn’t mean throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks; it’s about innovating in a way that complements your core values.
To stimulate progress, look at key areas like:
Products and Services: Update your offerings to meet evolving demands.
Processes: Streamline workflows with technology.
Culture: Build a workplace that attracts and retains top talent.
Innovate without losing your focus by balancing core values with a growth mindset. Salesforce has its one-one-one model; Amazon sticks to its “Day One” mentality. These companies grow without losing their essence because they prioritize tradition and innovation equally. Try focusing on just one new idea at a time to avoid overwhelming your team or over-innovating.
If you’re serious about building a sustainable business, this is the path. As Jim Collins puts it, it’s not just about what you change—it’s about what you keep constant. So, preserve that core, stimulate progress, and watch your business thrive.
