Most people live in one of two places:

the past… or the future.

We replay old stories. We worry about what might happen. We write plans about who we’re going to become.

In this episode of Life at Ten Tenths, Matt and Garrett unpack a simple truth - the only thing that actually shapes your future… is what you do right now.

Inspired by a powerful concept from The Courage to Be Disliked, this conversation explores how anxiety often comes from living in the future, regret comes from living in the past, and fulfillment comes from being fully present.

We'll dig into:

1. Why the past and future are just stories
2. How presence reduces anxiety and increases clarity
3. The connection between gratitude and being grounded in the moment
4. Why powerful life memories are created through attention
5. How showing up fully today transforms both relationships and business

This episode is personal. It’s practical. And it’s a reminder that the spotlight is always on the here and now.

If you want a different future, don’t wait for it. Build it in this moment.

🎧 Listen in and take ownership of today.

Are you building a life that feels full or just one that looks busy?

In this episode of Life at Ten Tenths, Matt and Garrett unpack the famous parable of the Mexican fisherman—and what it reveals about success, fulfillment, and the trap of constantly chasing “more.”

More deals. More income. More growth. More recognition.

But what if “more” isn’t actually the goal?

This conversation explores the difference between being busy and being aligned. Between building something impressive and building something meaningful. Between following society’s version of success and defining your own.

You’ll hear reflections on:

1. The hidden cost of chasing “more”
2. What it means to have a “full” life—not just a productive one
3. How alignment impacts fulfillment in business
4. The hedgehog concept: passion, excellence, and economic engine
5. Why perspective matters when defining success

Whether you're pushing hard in a growth season or stepping back to evaluate what you’re really building, this episode is an invitation to pause and ask a deeper question:

Are you building what you actually want?

🎧 Listen in and rethink what success really means for you.

Are you spending your time chasing new leads while overlooking some of the strongest referral opportunities sitting right under your nose?

In this episode of Life at Ten Tenths, Matt and Garrett explore one of the most underutilized sources of referral business: past clients who no longer live in your market.

This conversation reframes referrals not as something you have to hunt down, but as something that naturally grows out of staying connected, being thoughtful, and playing the long game with relationships.

Rather than adding more to your plate, this episode focuses on doing a few simple things well—checking in, staying present, and positioning yourself as a connector people trust, no matter where they live.

We get into:

1. Why clients who move away often become your best referral sources
2. How staying connected expands your reach beyond your local market
3. The difference between chasing transactions and building relationship equity
4. Why being a connector creates more opportunity than constant prospecting
5. How small, consistent touchpoints lead to long-term results

This episode is for agents who want to grow their business without more hustle—by leaning into relationships they already have and trusting the long-term impact of staying genuinely connected.

🎧 Listen and rethink where your next great referral is really coming from.
