    I tried Hustle. I tried Gratitude. Only One worked.

    In this episode of Sales Life, Justin Ryder and Sean Ward talk about the tension every driven person feels but rarely admits — the battle between ambition and peace. After a difficult 2025, Sean shares why he's shifting his focus from fixing the few things going wrong to appreciating the many things already going right. Justin pushes the other direction — discipline, goals, action, and building momentum in 2026. The result is an honest conversation about anxiety, gratitude, faith, visualization, work ethic, and what actually leads to a fulfilling life.   If you've ever chased success but still felt uneasy… this one will hit home.   Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction and Philosophical Musings 01:00 Reflecting on 2025 and Setting Goals for 2026 02:52 The Power of Gratitude 07:12 Visualizing Success and Overcoming Negativity 10:36 Focus and Discipline in Achieving Goals 17:34 Practical Applications of Gratitude 23:40 Letting Go of Anxiety and Embracing Faith   Justin's social: LinkedIn Twitter YouTube Sean's social: LinkedIn Twitter YouTube   SUBSCRIBE to the Sales Life Letter of Intent (our somewhat weekly newsletter on intentional sales life:
