About this episode
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:
- The hidden cost of chasing “more”
- What it means to have a “full” life—not just a productive one
- How alignment impacts fulfillment in business
- The hedgehog concept: passion, excellence, and economic engine
- 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.
