Information Matters. Action Wins.
Manage episode 524717459 series 2220917
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."
