Show Notes — Step Up and Hit the Shot In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor uses a cold round of golf and an AI-powered caddie to unpack a powerful lesson about decision-making and confidence. Advice, data, and preparation all matter—but they don't replace the moment when you have to act. Baylor explains why getting guidance, research, and perspective is critical when chasing big goals, especially heading into 2026.

Conditions shift. Sometimes things don't go your way and it has nothing to do with your ability. The key is learning to account for what you can, trust your preparation, and still take the swing. Because no matter how much information you have, progress only happens when you step up and move.
