Success isn't always about talent or speed—it's about holding on when no one's watching.

Show Notes: In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor unpacks a Navy study on SEAL candidates that reveals a powerful truth: those most likely to succeed weren't the strongest, but the ones who could endure—those who could suffer in silence. He links this to the famous Marshmallow Study and his own unforgettable water-skiing story to show how resilience, delayed gratification, and what he calls mental grip strength are the true markers of success.

Life isn't about how pretty the journey looks; it's about refusing to let go of the rope when it matters most.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why endurance and resilience outweigh raw talent or strength

  • The surprising trait Navy SEALs share with runners and swimmers

  • How the Marshmallow Study proves delayed gratification leads to long-term success

  • What "mental grip strength" is—and why it's critical for achieving your goals

  • How to keep moving forward even when results aren't visible

Featured Quote: "Mental grip strength is refusing to let go of the rope, even when every part of you wants to quit."
