#83 - What Sorta Works

Referrals Done Right

In this solo episode, Scott Grates delivers a thought-provoking message inspired by a piece from Jason Feifer, Editor-in-Chief of Entrepreneur Magazine. Scott explores the idea of things in our lives that “sorta” still work—and why they might be the biggest obstacles holding us back. From beard trimmers to broken systems, this episode challenges listeners to stop tolerating the tolerable.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why "sorta still works" might be the most dangerous status quo.
• How we justify staying in painful or frustrating situations that function—but not well.
• A personal story about a 17-year-old beard trimmer that became a metaphor for bigger life choices.
• What the Savannah Bananas can teach us about fixing broken systems by eliminating what people hate.
• A mindset shift to help you identify and fix the “sorta” things in your life or business.

🎧 Tune in and discover how to stop settling—and start fixing—what's only sorta working.
