    You Don’t Build Grit For No Reason… (2316)

    Standards decide who you become. In today’s episode, Kevin and Alan break down why grit is not something you chase or wish into existence, but something that forms when your standards leave you no alternative. This episode cuts through comfort-based personal development and examines why consistency collapses when conditions are imperfect. The focus is discipline, identity, and long-term performance, not motivation or hype. It challenges how goals are set, how resistance is handled, and why most people never build the durability required to sustain real progress. Listen with intention. Then raise the standard that governs your decisions. _______________________ Learn more about: Where learning turns into action. “Next Level Book Club”  every Saturday: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJMkcuiupjIqE9QlkptiKDQykRtKyFB5Jbhc Your first 30-minute “Business Breakthrough Session” call with Alan is FREE.

    What Does Worth It Mean To You? (2315)

    What if the reason you keep stopping is not weakness, but misalignment? In this episode, Kevin and Alan share lessons learned through years of daily execution, coaching real clients, and navigating the unseen costs of consistency. They break down why effort only lasts when goals match personal standards, identity, and long-term values, and why chasing goals that merely sound good leads to burnout and regret. This is a focused conversation on choosing battles wisely, committing with clarity, and building consistency that holds under pressure. Listen once for insight. Listen twice to decide what is truly worth it. _______________________ Learn more about: Your first 30-minute “Business Breakthrough Session” call with Alan is FREE.

    Investor Mindset VS Consumer Mindset (2314)

    In today’s episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros break down the mindset that determines whether progress compounds or quietly stalls. This episode centers on the difference between consumer thinking and investor thinking and how that distinction affects time, money, and long-term outcomes. The focus is discipline over impulse, standards over comfort, and decisions that pay off over years, not moments. If you care about consistency, leverage, and building a future that lasts, this conversation will sharpen how you evaluate everyday choices. Listen with honesty. The mindset you practice today becomes the life you live tomorrow. _______________________ Learn more about: Your first 30-minute “Business Breakthrough Session” call with Alan is FREE.

    Some People Talk About It… Less People Actually Do It Part 2 (2313)

    Hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros confront the gap between intention and execution that quietly limits most personal growth. After years of daily episodes, client work, and building Next Level University from the ground up, they have learned that progress is earned through standards, not statements. This episode cuts through surface-level self-improvement and focuses on alignment, discipline, and credibility. It is about knowing the cost, choosing it deliberately, and following through long after motivation fades. If you want real momentum, stop performing commitment and start proving it through consistent action. _______________________ Learn more about: Your first 30-minute “Business Breakthrough Session” call with Alan is FREE.

    Some People Talk About It… Less People Actually Do It (2312)

    Your reputation is your follow-through. In today’s episode, Kevin and Alan break down why motivation, intention, and public commitment do not build credibility. Consistency does. This conversation reframes personal development around execution, identity, and long-term standards. The focus is self-awareness, accountability, environment, and the habits that quietly compound into trust and authority. This is not about inspiration. It is about alignment between what you say, what you do, and who you are becoming. Listen with discipline. Let your actions speak. _______________________ Learn more about: Your first 30-minute “Business Breakthrough Session” call with Alan is FREE.

    If You’re Not Going To Be Consistent… Don’t Even Start (2311)

    Are you inconsistent, or are you starting things you were never willing to sustain? In this episode, Kevin and Alan confront the real issue behind consistency and long-term growth. Based on years of coaching, lived experience, and thousands of daily episodes, they examine how intention, belief, and identity shape whether habits compound or collapse. This is not about getting fired up. It is about precision. About understanding why serious progress requires commitment before clarity, and why most people stall by treating important goals like temporary experiments. If you want results that last, this episode will challenge how you decide what deserves your time, energy, and effort. Press play and find out what you are actually committed to. _______________________ Learn more about: Your first 30-minute “Business Breakthrough Session” call with Alan is FREE.

    You’re The Least Overwhelmed You’ll Ever Be Again (2310)

    In today’s episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros break down a hard truth most people avoid. Growth does not make life easier. It makes life heavier. This episode reframes overwhelm as a byproduct of expansion rather than a personal flaw, and positions reflection as a critical tool for clarity, self-awareness, and long-term performance. The conversation centers on identity, responsibility, and the skill of handling more without losing direction. This is not about motivation or inspiration. It is about precision, standards, and building the capacity required to sustain success over time. Listen with intention. Then decide whether you want comfort or capacity. _______________________ Learn more about: Your first 30-minute “Business Breakthrough Session” call with Alan is FREE.

    What Do You ACTUALLY Need Clarity On? (2309)

    Hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros bring a grounded conversation on clarity and why so many driven people stay stuck despite working hard. Drawing from years of building businesses, coaching clients, and recording thousands of daily episodes, they speak to the patterns they see when focus is scattered and direction is undefined. This episode is for anyone who feels ambitious but unfocused, busy but not advancing. It challenges vague thinking and calls for a higher standard of self-leadership without hype or shortcuts. Clear thinking creates decisive action. Decisive action changes outcomes. Choose your direction and remove the noise. _______________________ Learn more about: Your first 30-minute “Business Breakthrough Session” call with Alan is FREE.
