In today’s episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros expose a common breakdown in personal growth that has nothing to do with motivation or effort. It starts with the moment you set a goal and quietly avoid the standard required to achieve it. This episode centers on self-leadership, accountability, and the discipline to act in alignment with who you say you want to become. It challenges the way most people negotiate with themselves, lowers expectations under pressure, and confuses awareness with progress. The result is stalled momentum and eroded self-trust.

If you want results that compound and standards that hold, this episode will force an honest look at who is really in charge of your future. Decide accordingly.
