Sometimes the most powerful life lessons come from the people who have the least, yet see the most. Show Notes In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor shares a story he has never forgotten about a chance encounter on a scorching Dallas afternoon. Frustrated, stressed, and complaining from the comfort of an air-conditioned car, he crossed paths with a man who had every reason to be bitter, yet chose gratitude instead. The man described his situation not as hopeless, but as temporary. He wasn't living with a victim mentality. He was "currently down on his luck," and that distinction changed everything. Despite having almost nothing, he carried joy, perspective, and a belief that things would turn around. The conversation became a mirror. Baylor realized how easy it is to complain when things aren't perfect, and how rare it is to see someone choose gratitude in the middle of real hardship. The moment that sealed the lesson came when the man insisted on giving back, offering what may have been most of his net worth, simply because he believed blessings should flow both ways. This episode is a reminder that where you are right now is not a life sentence. Gratitude shifts perspective, perspective changes behavior, and behavior opens doors you never saw coming. What You'll Learn The difference between being "down" and being defeated Why gratitude is a mindset, not a circumstance How temporary struggles turn permanent when we adopt a victim mentality The power of reframing your situation as current, not final Why generosity and reciprocity matter, no matter your position in life Featured Quote "I'm not broken, I'm just currently down on my luck."

There are a lot of ways to bake a great cake. But none of them work if you refuse to commit to the recipe. Show Notes — Double Down or Drift In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor breaks down why so many people have real dreams but never fully pursue them. Using the analogy of baking a cake, he explains that while there are many paths to success, every path requires commitment. There is no single "right way," but there is a wrong one: never fully deciding. Baylor unpacks the true meaning of decision, which comes from the Latin word meaning to cut off all other options. He challenges listeners to stop treating their goals like hobbies and stop protecting themselves with endless backup plans. When your Plan B becomes your security blanket, your real goal quietly becomes optional. This episode is a call to double down. Not through burnout or obsession, but through identity. Saying "this is what I do" instead of "this is something I dabble in." Focusing on becoming exceptional instead of chasing validation. Trusting that if you bring real talent to the table consistently, the right people will eventually find you. The internet has changed the game. Talent travels now. If you are truly great at something, you do not need permission. You create your own seat. What You'll Learn • Why commitment matters more than strategy • The real meaning of deciding and cutting off Plan Bs • How backup plans turn goals into hobbies • Why talent attracts opportunity faster than networking • How focusing on quality creates leverage • Why over-delivering builds momentum Featured Quote "When you give yourself a Plan B, your dream quietly becomes optional."

You can gather all the data in the world, but at some point, you still have to step up and take the shot. Show Notes — Step Up and Hit the Shot In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor uses a cold round of golf and an AI-powered caddie to unpack a powerful lesson about decision-making and confidence. Advice, data, and preparation all matter—but they don't replace the moment when you have to act. Baylor explains why getting guidance, research, and perspective is critical when chasing big goals, especially heading into 2026. But he also warns against getting stuck in analysis paralysis or beating yourself up when outside factors affect outcomes. Life, like golf, always has variables you can't control. Seasons change. Conditions shift. Sometimes things don't go your way and it has nothing to do with your ability. The key is learning to account for what you can, trust your preparation, and still take the swing. Because no matter how much information you have, progress only happens when you step up and move. What You'll Learn • Why advice and preparation matter • The danger of overthinking and hesitation • How outside factors affect outcomes • Why not every setback is personal • The importance of trusting your training • When it's time to stop analyzing and act Featured Quote "At some point, you still have to step up to the ball and hit the shot."

If you keep telling yourself you'll start tomorrow, this episode is your wake-up call. Progress only happens when today counts. Show Notes — Tomorrow Never Comes In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor reflects on a passage from his book Wintality and the hard lesson it taught him about postponing what matters most. Through a personal story about love, ambition, and missed moments, he unpacks the danger of living in "one day" thinking. Baylor challenges the mindset of being a "just dreamer" someone who talks about what they're going to do but never takes the first step. He explains how fear, insecurity, and imaginary prerequisites often keep people waiting for a future version of themselves that never arrives. This episode is a reminder that big dreams are built through small actions, and that waiting for perfect conditions is often just disguised procrastination. Tomorrow isn't promised. Progress only happens when you move today. What You'll Learn • Why "one day" thinking keeps you stuck • The difference between dreamers and doers • How fear and insecurity delay action • Why small steps matter more than big plans • How daily action compounds over time • How to tell if you truly want something Featured Quote "Tomorrow never comes. Only today does."

f you've ever felt disappointed when a milestone rolled around and life didn't look the way you thought it would, this episode reframes how you measure progress and why every single day matters more than one date on the calendar. Show Notes — Why Every Day Is a Birthday In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor reflects on why he's never been a "big birthday" person and how years of unmet expectations shaped that mindset. Looking back on the early years of his career, he explains how feeling stuck often had less to do with lack of progress and more to do with a lack of clear metrics for growth. Baylor breaks down why high performers are especially hard on themselves when they don't define what "better" actually means. Without a metric, progress becomes invisible, and invisible progress turns into unnecessary self-criticism. He also touches on the emotional weight of time passing, lost relationships, and social media memories, and why choosing gratitude for another day is more powerful than mourning what didn't happen yet. This episode is a reminder that growth doesn't happen once a year. Every day you wake up is the birth of a new opportunity, a new decision, and a new chance to move forward. What You'll Learn • Why feeling "behind" is often a measurement problem • How undefined goals create unnecessary disappointment • Why high performers struggle most without clear metrics • How to escape negative feedback loops • Why every day is an opportunity, not just milestones • The power of daily gratitude over annual reflection Featured Quote "Every day you wake up is the birth of something new."

If you feel alone right now or stuck waiting for the "right people" to show up, this episode reminds you of a powerful truth. When you stay in the race and keep moving in the direction of your goals, the right people don't have to be chased. They will find you. Show Notes — Stay in the Race and the Right People Will Find You In this episode, Baylor reflects on a photo from his very first marathon, a race he stumbled into and struggled through. At mile 14, exhausted, alone, and mentally breaking down, something unexpected happened. His brother and sister—neither of whom were running the race—showed up beside him on the course, simply because he stayed on the path. That moment taught him a lesson he still lives by. Most of us delay our dreams waiting for the perfect team, the perfect support system, or the perfect timing. But the truth is, support rarely arrives before we start. It shows up because we start. Baylor discusses why feeling lonely on your path does not mean you're on the wrong path. Often, it means you're further ahead than you think. And if you stay in your lane long enough, the right people will appear—people who share the journey, the mindset, and the willingness to go as far as you're willing to go. This episode is both a challenge and an encouragement. Don't leave the path. Don't wait for perfect timing. And don't assume you're alone simply because it feels quiet. Keep moving. The right people find those who refuse to quit. What You'll Learn • Why support shows up after you start, not before • The mindset shift that eliminates the fear of "not having the right people" • Why staying in your lane attracts like-minded people • How loneliness often indicates growth, not failure • The difference between searching for help and being found by the right help • Why consistency places you on the path where your future allies already walk • How you can support someone else while you're on your journey Featured Quote "The right people don't have to be chased. They'll find you if you stay on the path."

Elevating professionalism is key to much of the day-to-day work of Ellen M. Friedman, MD, FACS, FAAP, and we knew we had to have her join the Faculty Factory Podcast to learn more. Dr. Friedman serves as Professor of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery and is the Senior Associate Dean of Professionalism and the Director of the Center for Professionalism at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. The end result of the Center for Professionalism, which we discuss at length in today's episode, is a warm and positive professional climate at Baylor College of Medicine. We also dive into the concept of professionalism in general. More about the Center: https://www.bcm.edu/education/academic-faculty-affairs/center-for-professionalism  While promoting professionalism is the core service of the Center, it also has systems in place to report instances where professionalism is lacking. The problem with traditional wellness programs is that they often place the burden on the individual while systematic issues at the institution remain unresolved, as Dr. Friedman points out. The Center at Baylor aims to address those systematic issues so they don't stand in the way of wellness and progress. More than anything else, however, the Center exists to acknowledge and recognize acts of positive professionalism. “It's a very small number of individuals who are perceived to have lapses in professionalism, but unfortunately, that small group of people tends to receive the most attention,” she says. For that reason, the Center is dedicated to honoring professionals who demonstrate exemplary professionalism. More resources: https://facultyfactory.org/

When you try to prepare for every possible scenario, you don't become more effective. You just become slower. Progress requires clarity, not clutter. Show Notes — Don't Prepare for Everything, Prepare for What's Next In this episode, Baylor revisits a story from Extreme Ownership about Navy SEALs who weighed themselves down by over-preparing for a mission. They were trying to be ready for everything, but the extra load only slowed them down. Baylor breaks down why the same thing happens in real life. People think they're being strategic, but they're really hiding behind preparation as a socially acceptable form of procrastination. Whether it's a business plan rewritten a hundred times or a life goal waiting for the perfect moment, the cost of inaction is almost always higher than the cost of taking the first step. He challenges listeners to carry only what is needed for the next level, not for every possible scenario. Level ten tools don't matter when you're still on level one. As you grow, you can retool. As you evolve, you can reassess. But momentum requires movement. This episode reframes overthinking as dead weight and encourages you to step into 2026 lighter, faster, and more focused on action than imagined obstacles. What You'll Learn Why over-preparing slows progress How preparation becomes a disguised form of fear The importance of knowing only what you need for the next step Why you shouldn't solve tomorrow's problems today How to identify the things weighing you down Why adapting as you go beats trying to prepare for every outcome Featured Quote "The cost of inaction is almost always higher than the cost of taking action."

Finishing up the conversation with Eric Hasseltine; The List: The Memphis Grizzlies, Injury in Sports; Jason Smith on good feelings for Charles Huff, Grizz Injury Woes, Tigers' Win over Baylor, Upcoming Slate; Tell Your Story, Adam Schefter.

Freedom begins when you stop trying to appeal to everyone and start showing up for the people who are actually meant for you. Show Notes In this episode, Baylor shares a hilarious long-running Crocs joke that leads to a powerful truth about identity, audience, and purpose. Using everything from candy corn to corporate feedback surveys, he explains why trying to be universally liked is one of the fastest ways to dilute your impact. Baylor breaks down why it's not your job to convert critics or win over everyone in the room. Your job is to serve the people who resonate with who you are and how you show up. Just like Crocs doesn't worry about the people who hate their shoes, you shouldn't worry about the people who simply aren't your market. He also dives into the importance of knowing when to speak and when to stay silent. Not every topic deserves your opinion, and not every conversation leads to solutions. Sometimes the most powerful move is recognizing that your words either build or add to the noise. This episode reminds you to stay grounded in your lane, serve your real audience, and let go of the pressure to be everything to everyone. What You'll Learn • Why your job is not to be universally liked • How trying to appeal to everyone puts you in unnecessary competition • Why doubling down on your lane actually attracts the right people • How to decide whether your opinion is adding value or adding noise • The freedom that comes from accepting that not everyone will get you Featured Quote "You're not going to be everybody's cup of tea, because not everybody likes tea."

Great leaders aren't defined by how loudly they speak— but by how strong their team becomes because of them. Show Notes — "Lead From the Front—and the Back" In today's episode, Baylor breaks down what real leadership looks like as we move into 2026—not the title, not the spotlight, but the standard you set and the people you surround yourself with. He challenges you to evaluate your circle: Are these quality people? Do they have integrity? Do they help move you forward—and do you help move them? Baylor explains why true leaders don't cling to the front position. They lead when they need to lead, support when they need to support, and create teams that focus on the objective, not job titles, finger-pointing, or ego. From cheering the loudest for others' success to recognizing when your mentee rises to your level, Baylor shows how a leader's true legacy is measured by the people they elevate. And as he reminds us—your inner circle shouldn't be open enrollment. Protect the standard. Protect the culture. Build a circle that earns the right to grow with you. What You'll Learn Why great teams focus on objectives, not job titles How real leaders switch between leading and supporting Why cheering for others' success strengthens your leadership How your standard becomes your team's standard The importance of keeping your circle selective and intentional Featured Quote "A true leader doesn't just rise—they raise everyone around them."

Some people don't just experience bad days—they look for storms so they can complain about being soaked. This episode teaches you how to protect your energy from the people who drain it most. Show Notes — "Stop Giving Your Energy to Storm Chasers" In this episode, Baylor shares a moment from a coffee shop where a man argued loudly on speakerphone for over 13 minutes—complaining, rehashing, and reliving the same drama over and over again. And it highlighted something important: Some people aren't trying to get out of the storm. They chase storms because complaining has become their identity. Baylor breaks down how to identify these "storm chasers," and more importantly, how to keep them from stealing your time, clarity, and peace. He explains the first filter he uses when someone brings him a problem: "Have I heard this before?" If the answer is yes, the issue isn't the circumstance—it's the person's unwillingness to grow. A repeated complaint means someone isn't looking for resolution; they're looking for a place to dump their chaos. From there, Baylor shares the second test: Give them a real solution…and watch what they do. You'll quickly learn who wants progress and who wants pity. Storm chasers don't want answers—they want an audience. Baylor warns about the danger of giving energy to people who thrive on negativity. They will drain you, distract you, and eventually pull you into storms that were never meant for you. And while you can't always distance yourself physically—especially in the workplace—you can distance your energy. You can choose not to get pulled into cycles that go nowhere. You can protect your mental bandwidth. You can refuse to carry clouds that don't belong to you. This episode is a reminder that not everyone wants sunshine—and that's okay. But you don't have to get wet with them. What You'll Learn How to identify "storm chasers" in your life The litmus test for determining whether someone wants help or attention Why repeated complaints reveal someone's true mindset How negative people drain your energy without you noticing When—and how—to distance your energy from toxic conversations Why protecting your peace is a leadership skill The difference between problem-solvers and professional victims How to stay centered during the holiday season when negativity rises Featured Quote "Some people chase storms so they can complain about being soaked—don't hand them your umbrella."

From state titles to nationally ranked teams, Valor has built a reputation for excellence. But what most people don't see is the intentional culture, systems, and faith-driven leadership behind the wins.In this episode, Darrin sits down with Keith Wahl, longtime coach and now Athletic Director at Valor Christian, to talk about building a mission-centered athletic program in the middle of NIL, transfer portals, club sports pressure, and sky-high parent expectations.Keith shares how Valor has stayed anchored to its founding mission and culture documents, how they rebuilt systems after a difficult season, and why he believes sports don't teach life lessons—people do.In this episode, you'll hear:Keith's journey into leadership at Valor ChristianFrom opening Mountain Vista High School as its first head baseball coach… to a “divine nudge” text from his wife… to becoming Valor's first head baseball coach and eventually Athletic Director.From “pioneer” to nationally respected athletics programHow Valor went from a brand-new school with a bold Christian mission to a MaxPreps Top 50-level athletic department—without abandoning its original vision and purpose.Culture documents, team plans, and the power of clarityWhy written team plans and an athletic handbook became game changers for culture, communication, and peace—and what happened when those systems disappeared (and then had to be rebuilt).Leading in the NIL and transfer eraHow NIL, club sports, and transfer rules have reshaped high school athletics—and what leaders can do to stay mission-focused instead of becoming purely transactional.Youth sports pressure and parent expectationsWhy today's parents often have less trust and higher expectations, and how schools can respond with value, transparency, and a holistic vision of sport.Faith, sport, and deeper meaning beyond the scoreboardKeith's work with Baylor's Faith & Sport Institute, their “Away Game” cohort, and what it looks like to build an athletic experience that forms character—not just winners.The trust triangle & the athletic leadership teamHow Keith uses the “trust triangle” (with authentic vulnerability at the base) to lead his internal team and create a second-family culture among his staff.Knowing your people: Enneagram, Working Genius & AIHow Keith uses tools like the Enneagram, Working Genius—and yes, even ChatGPT—to better understand his team and tailor his communication to each person.A powerful tribute to Coach Janie McHughThe story of longtime Valor volleyball coach Janie McHugh, her fourth straight state title, and why Keith believes deeply that knowing your people is one of the greatest gifts of leadership.Connect with Keith WahlValor Athletics: valoreagles.comSocial: @CoachWahl22 on all major platforms

If you're always the one who shows up for everyone else, this episode reveals why that strength can quietly become the very thing holding you back. Show Notes — "Stop Helping Everyone Except Yourself" In this episode, Baylor exposes one of the most overlooked forms of burnout: being the reliable one. The fixer. The hero. The go-to problem solver. The people pleaser. It sounds noble. It feels selfless. And you may genuinely believe you're just "helping." But Baylor breaks down how people-pleasing often turns into a subtle, dangerous cycle where you're pouring into everyone else and leaving yourself empty. He explains how the biggest question every people pleaser must ask is: "Is this truly helping, or am I just supplying the fuel for someone else's laziness?" You'll hear Baylor unpack why lazy people naturally gravitate toward reliable people, how "emergencies" magically become your problem, and why the person who always helps is rarely the one who gets helped in return. Then he goes deeper: How reciprocity reveals someone's true intentions Why "thank you" doesn't always mean gratitude Why being dependable becomes your identity How manipulation hides inside convenience Why the fear of disappointing others keeps you stuck Most importantly, Baylor challenges you to stop making everyone else the priority—and finally make the person in the mirror your first obligation. When you do that, you don't just help yourself… you actually start helping the right people in the right ways. What You'll Learn The hidden burnout cycle of people pleasers How to identify one-sided and non-reciprocal relationships Why lazy or unmotivated people always find "the reliable one" How to know if you're genuinely helping or being used Why your identity becomes tied to fixing others How to reclaim your time, energy, and self-respect Why the person in the mirror must get the best of you How to set boundaries that protect your peace and purpose Featured Quote "You are a people too—stop pleasing everyone except the one in the mirror."

If you want a different life in 2026, you can't wait for the calendar to change—your transformation begins with the seeds you plant today. Show Notes — "Plant the Seeds of Who You'll Become" In this episode, Baylor breaks down why most resolutions fail and why short-sighted intention is the silent killer of people's goals. We love to talk about change, we love to write our goals out, and we even love to visualize perfect futures—but none of that replaces the long-term mindset required for real growth. Baylor explains the difference between hoping for a goal and becoming the person who achieves it. Instead of only asking, "What do I want to accomplish?" he challenges you to ask, "Who will I be when I get there?" That shift changes everything—your decisions, your discipline, and your ability to push through the inevitable "why am I doing this?" moments. He shares a story from 2016, when a forgotten poster board reappeared years later—covered in "unrealistic" goals that he somehow hit anyway. Not because he stared at them every day… but because planting the seed shifted the trajectory of how he lived. From there, Baylor dives into the real formula: Plant the seed → Water it with action → Grow the garden → Expand the farm. Dreaming is the seed. Action is the water. Consistency is the sunlight. And when the garden grows, you help others grow theirs. This episode is your reminder that intention without action is just imagination. But intention paired with action becomes destiny. What You'll Learn Why short-term resolutions fail The psychological power of long-term intentionality How to shift from "goal setting" to "identity setting" Why planting mental seeds influences future decisions How action—not motivation—waters your goals The danger of waiting for "the right time" Why small actions today create large results tomorrow How to scale your success once you learn your personal formula Featured Quote "You can't plant nothing and expect a harvest."

Somewhere along the way, we stop letting ourselves be kids—yet the freedom we're craving might be buried inside the parts of us we told ourselves to outgrow. Show Notes — "Find Your Happy Meal" In this episode, Baylor shares a hilarious yet profound moment sparked by McDonald's new Grinch meal. One impulsive run to the drive-thru with his dog turned into an unexpected reminder of something adults forget far too often: Joy matters. Impulse matters. Fun matters. Baylor unpacks why so many people lose their spark as they get older, trading curiosity and excitement for seriousness and rigidity. He explains the neuroscience behind behavioral rigidity—the mental shift that happens as we age where the fear of losing what we have outweighs the excitement of chasing what we want. This episode encourages you to reconnect with the childlike parts of yourself: the dreamer, the explorer, the person who believed anything was possible. Not because you should be childish, but because the energy, creativity, and imagination you abandoned might be exactly what you need to move forward again. By revisiting the small things that used to bring joy—your metaphorical "happy meal"—you reconnect with a part of your identity that adulthood slowly pushed into hiding. This is a reminder that growing up doesn't mean growing dull. What You'll Learn Why adults stop dreaming the way kids do The psychology behind behavioral rigidity How risk-of-loss thinking limits your potential Why playful impulses are actually productive How to rediscover creativity and curiosity Why narrowing your life with "blinders" keeps you stuck How revisiting old joys reignites motivation A practical way to reconnect with what made you feel alive Featured Quote "You didn't outgrow your joy — you just convinced yourself you had to."
