You don’t have to stay labeled by your past—real change is possible if you’re willing to take action and stay consistent.
Show Notes:
In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor Barbee reflects on a line from The Andy Griffith Show: “I’ve always been the black sheep of the family. I just wanted to change the colors.” Too often, we let society, mistakes, or old labels define us. Baylor challenges us to see that change doesn’t happen overnight—but with consistent action, a decisive break from the past, and full immersion into the new you, transformation becomes real.
He unpacks why simply declaring “new year, new me” doesn’t work without action, why small steps matter, and why true change means more than just playing the part—it requires becoming it.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why breaking free from labels takes patience and consistency
The importance of decisive action to separate yourself from the old you
Why words and resolutions aren’t enough without aligned habits
The difference between playing a role and fully embodying change
How immersion in your growth makes transformation second nature
Featured Quote:
"You don’t have to stay the black sheep—you can change the colors."
