Shark Theory

Your 100% Is a Sliding Scale


Listen Later

You don't fail when you're not at your best. You fail when you stop showing up altogether.

Show Notes

In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor opens up about a late episode, feeling under the weather, and the pressure we put on ourselves to always perform at the same level every day.

He challenges the flawed idea that "100%" is a fixed number. Life isn't a video game. Your energy, focus, health, and circumstances change, which means your 100% changes too. The real question isn't whether you showed up at peak performance, but whether you gave your all based on what you actually had that day.

Baylor explains how being overly critical of yourself can quietly derail progress, why missing one day isn't the problem but missing two is, and how stagnation, not failure, is what truly makes people sick in life, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

This episode is about momentum, grace, and refusing to let low-energy days turn into lost seasons.
