Shark Theory

How Many Pizzas Does It Take to Find Perspective?


Listen Later

Life gets easier when you stop overcomplicating it and start asking the right questions.

Show Notes: In this lighthearted yet insightful Shark Theory episode, Baylor Barbee turns a simple dilemma—ordering pizza for 500 kids—into a powerful lesson on decision-making, curiosity, and effort. What starts as a logistical headache becomes a reminder that life is only as hard as you make it.

Baylor shares how "effort regret" is the only real regret worth avoiding, why asking questions accelerates growth, and what it truly means to decide—from the Latin decidere, meaning "to cut off all other options."

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why effort regret hurts more than failure

  • How to simplify problems you've overcomplicated

  • The secret to asking questions that spark real growth

  • Why gathering information matters—but quick decisions matter more

  • The mindset shift that keeps you confident after you choose a path

Featured Quote: "If you gave your all, you can live with the outcome. Effort regret only comes when you know you didn't."
