In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor Barbee shares a simple but powerful truth: sometimes your life isn’t actually “off”—your lens is. From crooked book frames to the story of GM CEO Mary Barra simplifying a 10-page dress code into two words, Baylor explores how small shifts in perception and action can completely change your trajectory.

Whether you feel far from your goals or stuck in the same routine, this episode will help you discover how just a one-degree adjustment can transform your relationships, career, health, and mindset.

Key Takeaways:

• Your Lens May Be Crooked: Sometimes it’s not your life that’s off—it’s how you’re looking at it.

• One Degree Changes Everything: Over time, small adjustments compound into massive results.

• Simplify for Impact: Big change often comes from small, intentional shifts—like turning a 10-page rulebook into “dress appropriately.”

• Stop Floating with the Current: If you don’t intentionally set your direction, life’s current will take you somewhere you don’t want to be.

• Gratitude Adjusts Perspective: Realize how much you already have, and you’ll see opportunities more clearly.

Notable Quotes:

• “What if it’s not your life that’s off—what if it’s just your lens?”
