In this episode of Small Town Life, Dave Warner speaks with State Farm agent Scott Grates. Scott is a national best-selling author, podcast host, entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, and sought-after coach for small business owners.
As the leader of multiple thriving businesses that started from zero and now generate millions of dollars annually, Scott understands the challenges small business owners face in their relentless pursuit of success against corporate behemoths. Scott is on a mission to arm entrepreneurs with the transformative power of relationship optimization in their communities.
Scott teaches the Infinite Referral Advantage® system in his most recent book, Referrals Done Right. His system connects entrepreneurs with fellow small business owners, local schools, community service organizations, and star customers.
He talks about growing up in the Mohawk Valley, insurance, his new book on USA Today’s best-seller list, and kids. As a father of three children, Scott also has a lifelong passion for bringing real-world knowledge to students before graduation so they are better prepared for their careers after the classroom.
His other best-selling book, Essential F-Words for Teens, was written for his oldest son, Tyler. The goal was to share 117 things Scott wanted Tyler to know before graduating high school. The result has been that tens of thousands of young adults coast to coast are reading these real-world lessons as well.

It’s late in life, but, it would be nice for authors and practioners, to discuss the classroom and school prior to mentally affirming or discarding the good/bad of past experiences. These notions are affected by a multiplicity of perspectives-from location, era, experience, employment rank, experience with community, SES. Expand the Vista.
