In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor Barbee shares an unexpected lesson from walking the golf course for the first time instead of riding in a cart. What started as a way to add endurance training to a round of golf turned into a deeper reflection on our obsession with speed—and why faster doesn't always mean better. Through parallels to NASCAR strategy, marathon training, and the power of presence, Baylor explains how simplifying your approach, immersing yourself in the moment, and resisting the urge to rush can help you perform better, enjoy life more, and actually get better results. Key Takeaways: Faster Isn't Always Better: Speed without strategy often leads to burnout or inefficiency. Simplify Your Approach: The shortest path to results is often the most straightforward. Be Present Where You Are: Stop thinking about the next task and fully engage with the one in front of you. Immersion Improves Performance: When you're fully in the moment, you notice details and make better decisions. Efficiency Beats Constant Grind: Focus on being effective with your time, not just filling it with activity. Notable Quotes: "Sometimes what seems faster is just that—it only seems that way." "The shortest distance between two points is a straight line—simplify your life." "If you live in a constant state of tomorrow, you'll never actually be in your life today." "Have your feet where you are. Be where you are."
