    Most Relationships Fall Into This 1 Trap (2347)

    What if the real problem in your relationship is how each person thinks about growth? In this episode, Kevin asks Alan direct questions about a pattern he sees again and again while coaching couples.

Alan shares lessons from years of working with real couples, and Kevin challenges the ideas in real time so listeners can understand what this means for their own lives. If you want a stronger relationship and a clearer future together, this conversation will make you think.

    In today’s episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros challenge the assumption that popular advice equals effective advice.

    Lessons In Longevity (2345)

    Hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros challenge a belief that quietly sabotages high performers. You can push harder, grind longer, and sacrifice sleep for a while, but eventually your body collects the debt. Drawing from their own experiences with fatigue, recovery, and years of coaching clients, they break down why longevity habits influence focus, productivity, and long-term success far more than motivation alone. Most people chase results without realizing the foundation underneath them is unstable. This episode connects sleep, health, and discipline to the outcomes people want most but rarely trace back to their daily choices. If you want more energy, clearer thinking, and sustainable growth, this conversation will recalibrate your priorities. Do not wait for burnout to teach you what discipline can teach you now. _______________________ Learn more about: Book Alan’s Business Breakthrough Session.

    Everyone Needs To Be Good At SALES (2344)

    You’re always selling something. In today’s episode, Kevin and Alan redefine sales as a core leadership skill, not a sleazy tactic. Influence shapes every outcome in your career, your relationships, and your growth. The real question is whether you are using it consciously. This conversation cuts through the noise around persuasion, trust, credibility, and effective communication. Sales is not pressure. It is clarity. It is the ability to transfer conviction so others can see what you already see. If you cannot communicate value, you cannot lead. If you cannot build trust, you cannot scale. Stop avoiding the skill that determines your ceiling. Build it. _______________________ Learn more about: Book Alan’s Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

    When’s The Last Time You Zoomed Out? (2343)

    Are you building the next level, or just surviving the current one? In this episode, Kevin and Alan unpack why growth often feels heavier than expected. New environments disrupt rhythm. Bigger goals demand a stronger identity. Success increases responsibility. Drawing on years of coaching and a catalog of hard-earned lessons, they explain why perspective is a performance skill and why thinking in decades, not days, changes the game. If you feel stretched or slightly off your center, this is your recalibration. Zoom out. Get honest. Decide who you need to become next. Do not drift into your future.

    In today’s episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros break down why most people underestimate the power of small daily choices and how invisible habits quietly shape success, health, and long-term performance. They reveal how discipline compounds, why coasting after progress is dangerous, and what it really takes to build momentum that lasts. This conversation challenges short-term thinking and exposes the hidden cost of inconsistency, comfort, and delayed action.

    What If Your Wiring Is Holding You Back? (2341)

    Hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros unpack why so many people lose momentum after reaching a goal and how that quiet pattern limits long-term success. After years of building businesses, coaching clients, and studying high-performance behavior, they have seen the same cycle repeat as people push hard to win, comfort sets in, discipline fades, and standards slip. They explain why lasting growth comes from identity, not outcomes. You’ll learn how motivation really works, why external rewards rarely sustain progress, and how aligned habits create stability in business, health, and relationships. This is a practical conversation about building self-driven discipline and durable systems that hold up even when motivation runs low. _______________________ Digital Asset: The 5 M's of Next Level Motivation - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SNYQ2RuPg6fgqGA5Og9a7xFmX2lR3y7x/view _______________________ Learn more about: Book Alan’s Business Breakthrough Session.
