Sometimes the thing you're begging not to happen is the very thing that saves you.

Show Notes

In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor shares a real story from his trip to Costa Rica that almost didn't happen the way it was supposed to. From a chewed-up passport to airport shutdowns and delayed flights, everything seemed to be going wrong. But those delays turned out to be exactly what he needed.

Baylor breaks down why protecting what matters most is essential as you move into 2026, and why not every delay is a setback. Some obstacles are actually safeguards. Some frustrations are working in your favor. And some fires in your life are ones you accidentally started yourself.

This episode challenges you to look at delays differently, identify the brush fires you may be creating, and make sure the things that truly matter in your life are protected.
