When you stop forcing what's not meant for you, life starts working in your favor.

Show Notes: In this reflective Shark Theory episode, Baylor Barbee shares a conversation that begins with a story about a chicken hawk and turns into a lesson about presence, alignment, and purpose. From business to relationships, Baylor explores why the best things in life happen when you're where you're supposed to be—and how forcing situations almost always leads to broken outcomes.

He also reminds listeners of one of the simplest but most transformative success principles: Be where your feet are. When you're fully present in your own life, you begin to see opportunities, lessons, and beauty that were always there—you just weren't looking.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• How being present helps you see life's hidden opportunities

• Why forced success never lasts

• The importance of aligning your environment with your values

• How to surround yourself with like-minded people without losing individuality

• Why slowing down is sometimes the fastest way to get ahead

Featured Quote: "If you're honest with yourself, the moments that felt effortless weren't luck—they were alignment."
