Manage episode 517762293 series 2220917
The 2025 New York City Marathon ended in a photo finish after 26.2 miles — proof that every step, decision, and ounce of effort counts. Your race in life is no different.
Show Notes: In this high-energy Shark Theory episode, Baylor Barbee breaks down what the New York City Marathon can teach us about mindset, positioning, and perseverance. From the fight for inches at the starting line to the final photo finish, Baylor shows how winners think differently — and how you can apply those same lessons to your own goals.
He challenges you to evaluate where you've settled for comfort, why it's time to separate from the pack, and how much every step matters in the pursuit of your personal best.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
Why preparation before the "race" determines your long-term success
How to position yourself for the win before the opportunity begins
When and why to break away from the comfort of the pack
How to find your "second wind" when the finish line feels far away
The mindset shift that turns effort into excellence
Featured Quote: "People who are focused on winning see the start differently — because they know every inch, every moment, every step matters."
