Built for Pressure, Wired for Purpose

Worthy Wear founder Dalton Mixon sits down with his friend David —a detective turned first-time landlord—to talk real stress, real estate, and real purpose. David opens up about buying a trailer park and four rentals (including sudden vacancies), how sharing the load with a partner brought peace, and why entrepreneurial stress feels different from life-and-death work. Dalton unpacks his systems-over-goals approach, trading short-term freedom for long-term family flexibility, and a vision to build wealth in order to give—think six-figure generosity targets and even “a car a month” blessings. The guys riff on the Chinese fisherman parable, balancing ambition with contentment, and not sacrificing what you actually want (joy, peace, generosity) for the mere means to get it (money, control). A candid, first test run about pressure, purpose, and putting people first.
