Join host Baylor Barbee as he shares valuable life lessons inspired by his Australian Shepherd puppy, Bear, on this insightful episode of "Shark Theory." Drawing from his personal experiences, Baylor delves into the concept of starting each day with a fresh, positive outlook, untouched by the negativities or disappointments of the past.

In the episode, Baylor highlights how Bear’s approach to life can serve as a powerful metaphor for achieving peak performance. He emphasizes the importance of not carrying yesterday's burdens into today, cultivating an "amnesia" mindset, and maintaining an unwavering focus on the present. Baylor also discusses practical steps to develop a more optimistic and opportunity-driven attitude, such as starting the day with positive affirmations and setting a proactive tone.
