Big goals aren't won in leaps—they're conquered one step at a time. Gratitude, presence, and the right people make the climb worth it.

Show Notes: Fresh off a grueling 50K trail race, Baylor Barbee shares powerful reflections on endurance, gratitude, and perspective. In this episode of Shark Theory, he breaks down the mental framework that helped him navigate over 65,000 steps of steep terrain and self-doubt—one step at a time.

Baylor explores how to set your mindset before the challenge begins, the importance of surrounding yourself with people who love what you're striving for, and why controlling the present moment is the key to finishing strong. Whether your "race" is a business goal, personal breakthrough, or life transition, this episode shows how progress happens in the smallest, most consistent steps.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

Why your mindset before the challenge determines how you finish
The importance of gratitude loops—finding thanks in every phase
How to surround yourself with people who inspire perspective, not pressure
The value of controlling one step instead of fearing 65,000
Why progress is less about speed and more about consistency

Featured Quote: "Of the 65,000 steps in the race, the only one I could control was the one I was taking right now."
