A candle without a flame is just wax. The same is true for your life—what are you doing to ignite your fire?

Show Notes: In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor reflects on a simple candle and the deeper truths it reveals about passion, purpose, and leadership. A candle only releases its light and aroma once the flame is lit—and our lives are the same. Your value isn’t in just existing; it’s in finding the spark that sets you apart and using it to light the way for others.

Baylor challenges listeners to identify their unique “flavor”—the core trait that defines them—and to pursue opportunities that ignite it. He explains why passion requires risk, why true leaders don’t aim to lead but end up lighting paths anyway, and why your impact on others is only revealed when your fire is burning bright.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why motivation fades but passion sustains you

• How to identify what lights your fire and drives you forward

• The difference between lighting your own path vs. leading others

• Why your “flavor” (unique trait or strength) matters more than having everything

• How your aroma—your authentic impact—attracts others and creates momentum
