Show Notes:
In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor unpacks what it really means to reach a breaking point. Drawing from etymology, rocket launches, and even the Dead Sea, he explains why breakdowns and breakthroughs come from the same place—and how you can choose which one defines you.

Baylor challenges you to view your breaking point as an invitation to grow, to separate from toxic environments, and to break cycles that hold you back. By reframing pressure as progress, you’ll see that what feels like breaking may actually be the moment you burst forth into a new level of your life.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why “break” can mean both destruction and breakthrough

• How to recognize when it’s time to release old environments or people

• The difference between toxic stagnation and healthy struggle

• Why you must break cycles and limits to grow

• The importance of closing the door on your past so it doesn’t follow you forward
