#107 - What Are You Really Fishing For?
Thu Feb 05 2026
In this thought-provoking solo episode, Scott Grates draws inspiration from the classic “Mexican Fisherman” parable to ask one powerful question: how much is enough? Using storytelling, self-reflection, and a fishing metaphor that hits home, Scott unpacks the dangers of chasing “more” without defining what truly matters. It’s a reminder that in business - and in life - depth often beats width, and purpose matters more than performance metrics.
For anyone building a referral-based business or community, this is a mindset reset. Scott shares how RDR Nation isn’t about vanity numbers or transactional tactics—it’s about showing up consistently for the right people, leading with service, and building a life you don’t need to escape from. Tune in to reflect, recalibrate, and rethink what you’re really fishing for.
🎣 What you’ll learn:
• What the “Mexican Fisherman” parable teaches us about success and satisfaction
• Why deeper relationships outperform wider audiences every time
• How to find your “four tuna”—the right people who truly move the needle
• Why shiny object syndrome (SOS) is holding your business back
• How the law of reciprocity plays out when you lead with a servant’s heart
