You Can't Change the Road

ou don't always get to choose the conditions. You always get to choose how you adapt.

Show Notes

In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor uses snow-covered roads and vehicle drive modes as a powerful metaphor for life.

You don't get to change every situation you're in. You don't get to swap out difficult people, tough seasons, or uncomfortable environments on demand. But what you can change is how you show up in those conditions.

Baylor explains why trying to operate with only one version of yourself leads to burnout and frustration, and why self-awareness is really about knowing which "setting" to activate depending on the climate you're in. Some days require energy and presence. Other days require solitude and focus. Both still move you forward.

This episode is about adaptability, momentum, and refusing to let bad conditions turn into zero-progress days.
