    Success Isn’t a Feeling, It’s a Pattern (2128)

    In today’s episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros challenge the idea that success is about outcomes and instead show why it’s the pattern that counts. They open up about burnout, chasing PRs, building better systems, and why real growth rarely feels good in the moment. If you’re someone who pushes hard but still questions your progress, this is your reminder that consistent action matters more than how you feel today.

    Why You NEED Emotional Intelligence As A High Performer… (2127)

    Can you be smart and still fail in relationships, leadership, or life? In this episode, Kevin and Alan unpack why emotional intelligence (EQ) is just as critical as IQ, especially for high performers.

Whether you struggle with connection or want to strengthen your impact, this conversation will challenge your growth in all the right ways.

    Four steps. One path to a life that truly fits. In this episode, Kevin and Alan unravel the Four A’s of Growth: Awareness, acceptance, action, and alignment. These aren’t just milestones in the rearview mirror; they’re the rhythm of lasting transformation. Kevin recalls the moment he realized success without purpose is empty.
