  • Future You Is The BEST Boss (Hopefully) (2322)
    Jan 24 2026

    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.

  • Which Awareness Is The Most Important? (2321)
    Jan 23 2026

    Hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros address a quiet reason progress stalls even when effort, discipline, and consistency are present. The issue is not work ethic. It is distorted awareness, subtle blind spots that shape decisions, perception, and results without being noticed.

    Drawing from years of coaching and thousands of conversations, this discussion points to why most people reinforce the wrong strengths and overlook the one area quietly limiting growth. The focus is precision, not motivation. Clarity, not affirmation. Listen carefully. Then identify what you have been compensating for and correct it before the cost compounds.

  • Another Question To Ask Yourself On Repeat (2320)
    Jan 22 2026

    Most limits stay invisible until results expose them. In today’s episode, Kevin and Alan challenge how most people think about progress, effort, and self-improvement. Hard work is not the problem. Misalignment, blind spots, and incomplete awareness are. This episode breaks down what actually drives outcomes beneath the surface and why real growth demands precision, accurate perception, and the courage to confront what is missing instead of doubling down on what merely feels productive.

    If you want fewer setbacks and more durable results, this conversation will change how you evaluate yourself, others, and the world you are operating in. Listen without distraction. Then adjust your lens before the cost compounds.
