What if your lack of progress has nothing to do with effort and everything to do with focus?In this episode, Kevin and Alan challenge how most people think about productivity, progress, and focus. They break down why tactics alone rarely move the needle and why clarity, self-awareness, and pattern recognition matter more than effort. This conversation is for anyone who feels busy but stagnant, disciplined but misdirected, or consistent without seeing proportional results. It reframes how to identify what actually drives outcomes in business, health, and relationships, and why fewer, better decisions compound faster over time.If you are ready to stop confusing motion with progress and start aligning your time with what truly works, listen closely. The leverage is not hidden. It is waiting for you to choose it.Learn more about:If you want to start, grow, scale, or monetize your podcast?

In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros challenge the way most people think about effort, focus, and progress. The idea of “less is more” is familiar, but rarely understood correctly. This conversation reframes the Pareto Principle as a decision-making standard, not a productivity trick. It confronts why most people stay busy yet stagnant, why real progress feels slower than expected, and why long-term results demand a different mindset entirely. This episode is about leverage, patience, and choosing what actually matters when the payoff is far away. Listen closely. Then cut the noise and commit to the work that compounds when no one is watching.Learn more about:Where learning turns into action. “Next Level Book Club”  every Saturday:https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJMkcuiupjIqE9QlkptiKDQykRtKyFB5Jbhc_______________________NLU is not just a podcast; it's a gateway to a wealth of resources designed to help you achieve your goals and dreams.

Key Takeaways:90 days is long enough to get something done, but short enough that there's some urgency to it. The 90-day MOST stands for Mission, Objective, Strategy, and Tactics. It accounts for having an overall vision and creating simple strategies to implement each quarter. We need to have a clear vision so that we know what we're looking for. Before creating a plan, take time to create a vision board. Visualize what you want to create in your life and depict it in your vision board. Once you have a vision, determine an objective. Then, create three strategies that will serve to achieve that objective. Under each strategy, create three simple tactics. Keep it simple.  “90 days has been studied to be very effective. It's long enough to get something done. But it's short enough that you there's some urgency to it.” “We create the vision. And then from that vision, we create the plan. But we don't want to plan while creating the vision, because we wind up talking ourselves out of doing some bold things.” “We're keeping it very, very simple. The more complicated you make this, the less likely it's going to work for you. So you pick what would make this quarter be the win for you.” - Maryanne Dersch  Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

Key Takeaways:Reframe goals as guides, not judgments. Traditional output-focused goals can create pressure and burnout; goals should inform your direction, not define your worth or success.Wrap up the year holistically. Reflect on wins, surprises, and growth beyond numeric targets, release what no longer serves you, and recognize internal and relational progress as real achievements.Make goals human-centered, not just metric-centered. Reframing SMART goals to be Supportive, Meaningful, Aligned, Relational, and Tension-free ensures they strengthen trust, connection, and values alongside traditional metrics.Measure relationships, not just money. Track trust, reciprocity, affinity, consistency, and advocacy to prioritize connection and mission impact, understanding that financial outcomes naturally follow strong relational foundations. “Goals aren't good or bad. They are just what they are. They are information.” “If we're only measuring our worth by input and output, we're really missing a lot on what we're doing and the progress that we're making.” "Work can be joyful. Grace, ease, joy is sustainable. Hustle and grind is not.”- Maryanne Dersch    Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

Are you making decisions based on your standards, or are you unconsciously following the crowd?In this episode, Kevin and Alan examine how trend-driven behavior quietly undermines self-improvement, personal development, and long-term consistency. Using real coaching experience and patterns observed across thousands of conversations, they explain why decision-making rooted in external validation weakens self-trust and identity. This conversation breaks down the psychological cost of bandwagon thinking, the difference between perception and reality, and why accuracy matters more than certainty when building a disciplined life.If you care about sustainable success, clear thinking, and becoming someone who follows principles instead of popularity, this episode will recalibrate how you approach decisions, habits, and personal growth.Learn more about:Join our Next Level University Monthly Masterclass, "How to Set and Achieve Your Most Important Goals in 2026."

In this episode, Libby welcomes back Jeremy Keil to unpack how financial advisors can turn an intangible service into a clear, compelling, and repeatable client experience. Jeremy shares the evolution of his five-step Retirement Master Plan, how defining and naming a process transformed both his client outcomes and his business efficiency, and why creating a standardized framework is one of the most powerful growth levers advisors can implement. This conversation is rich with actionable insights, real-world scenarios, and practical guidance for building a more scalable practice.

Hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros confront a simple but uncomfortable reality most people never question the thinking that drives their behavior.

Key Takeaways:Sustainable change begins by raising standards, not just managing expectations. Standards define the floor you will no longer fall below, while expectations shape the ceiling you desire. Boundaries and agreements act as the walls that uphold both.Boundaries focus on what you no longer want to tolerate or experience. Agreements clarify what you do want and how it will work in practice. They turn avoidance into intention and make expectations visible to others.Agreements reduce resentment by replacing unspoken rules with shared understanding. They teach others how to relate to you personally, professionally, and in leadership spaces. Strong agreements create safety, predictability, and mutual respect.Raising standards often invites testing, especially in the early stages. Holding the agreement while releasing the outcome allows relationships to adjust naturally. Over time, people either rise to meet the standard or drift away. “We can't change behavior unless we change the boundaries and agreements that uphold and support that behavior.” “We teach people how to treat us.” “Your internal agreements will determine your external results.” - Maryanne Dersch    Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

Growth gets real when effort meets reality. In today's episode, Kevin and Alan strip away a comfortable idea in self-improvement that sounds right but quietly caps results. Consistency matters. Personal development matters. But progress stalls when discipline disconnects from real-world decision-making.This is a grounded conversation about long-term growth, identity, and what actually drives performance over time. No hype. No shortcuts. Just a clear look at how serious self-improvement works when pressure, competition, and standards are real. If you care about building consistency that lasts and making decisions that compound, this episode will sharpen how you think. Listen closely. This one separates intention from execution._______________________Learn more about:Your first 30-minute “Business Breakthrough Session” call with Alan is FREE.

Why does fulfillment feel so hard to define, and even harder to maintain?In this episode, Kevin and Alan break down why personal development without alignment eventually stalls. Fulfillment is not a reward for working harder. It is the result of consistent decisions, honest self-awareness, and staying committed to meaningful work long after the excitement fades.

Financial advisors often begin the year energized, organized, and committed to ambitious goals. Yet, by March, many find their plans stalling—not because of a lack of motivation, but because of a lack of true accountability. In this episode, neurobiology-based performance and accountability expert Brian Ford breaks down why traditional views of discipline and accountability fail, how advisors can build systems that actually work, and what it takes to sustain long-term behavior change. Brian shares the science, psychology, and practical frameworks that help advisors stop relying on motivation alone and start building systems that drive real follow-through.

In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros challenge how most people think about fulfillment and why chasing the wrong thing leads to long-term dissatisfaction. They examine the gap between outcomes and meaning, question commonly accepted definitions of happiness, and address why fulfillment cannot be manufactured through success alone. Drawing from years of experience and real-world patterns, this episode reframes fulfillment as something built over time, not something found in a moment.This conversation is a grounded reminder that meaning is earned through consistent execution and personal alignment, not intention or emotion._______________________Visual Asset:The Pyramid of Fulfillment Learn more about:Join our private Facebook community, “Next Level Nation,” to grow alongside people who are committed to improvement. - https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700The “Next Level Hope Foundation” creates meaningful experiences for kids growing up without a father figure and builds a positive, supportive community around them.To support this event, you can donate here: https://gofund.me/5c6abcf7f_______________________NLU is not just a podcast; it's a gateway to a wealth of resources designed to help you achieve your goals and dreams.

In this episode of Tendrils of Grief, I sit down with Samina Bari—a corporate leader, author, and grief advocate whose life changed forever after the sudden loss of her husband. Known for advising CEOs and boards on over $40 billion in global M&A transactions, Samina brings that same clarity and strength to a deeply personal conversation about grief, widowhood, and rebuilding life after loss.

Hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros challenge a common misconception in self-improvement. Most people are not stuck because they lack drive. They are stuck because they are building on the wrong foundation. This episode reframes what real personal development requires when results matter over the long term.

Success changes the weight you carry, not the work you avoid. In today's episode, Kevin and Alan cut through one of the most misunderstood ideas in self-improvement and personal development. Growth does not simplify your life. It sharpens it. The better you get, the more responsibility your decisions carry. The higher you climb, the more consistency and self-awareness are required to stay there. This conversation challenges surface-level motivation and reframes what real progress actually demands over the long term. If you are serious about personal development, disciplined decision-making, and building success you can sustain, this episode will reset your expectations. Listen carefully.

In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros break down why the traditional idea of work-life balance is holding so many people back from real self-improvement. They reveal how the wrong mental map can derail your decision-making, weaken your consistency, and limit your growth long before you realize it. Instead of chasing balance, you'll learn the performance-driven frame high achievers use to make progress across health, wealth, and love without burning out or drifting off course. This is a direct, practical look at personal development for people who want results, not clichés. Listen now, rethink your framework, and step into the version of yourself you've been avoiding._______________________Learn more about:The “Next Level Hope Foundation” creates meaningful experiences for kids growing up without a father figure and builds a positive, supportive community around them.To support this event, you can donate here: https://gofund.me/5c6abcf7fJoin our private Facebook community, “Next Level Nation,” to grow alongside people who are committed to improvement. - https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700_______________________NLU is not just a podcast; it's a gateway to a wealth of resources designed to help you achieve your goals and dreams.

Most C-suite executives resist group coaching. They think it's beneath them. That they need one-on-one attention. That the cool kids don't do groups. But here's what they're missing: The executives landing fastest aren't going it alone - they're in rooms with other sharp leaders who push them, connect them, and amplify their momentum. Group coaching isn't about splitting attention. It's about multiplying force. The hidden math of going solo One coach. One perspective. One set of connections. Versus: One coach + 10-15 C-suite peers from different industries + guest experts + cross-pollinated networks + collective negotiation intel + real-time market intelligence. That's not diluted support. That's exponential leverage. In this episode: Why the job market playbook from 10 years ago (or even last year) is obsolete The real reason networking doesn't work - and what to do instead How LinkedIn went from "nice to have" to non-negotiable visibility engine Why referrals make up less than 10% of applications but 40% of hires The hidden talent economy: roles created for people before they're ever posted What separates executives who land in 60 days from those still searching at month 9 The power of micro-networks (clusters) over massive, generic connections How to build your own digital power circle in 3 steps Who should NOT be in a group program (and why that matters) A real transformation Before: A 20-year healthcare executive. Over a decade at one company. LinkedIn follower count: under 1,000. No active presence. Outdated job search strategies. No idea how to navigate the new hiring landscape. Then: Joined Portfolio Rocket's group coaching program. Learned to build a voice on LinkedIn. Showed up authentically. Shared vulnerable stories (like iPhone rules for her daughter). Connected with peers across industries - education, design, marketing, advertising. After: 14,000+ LinkedIn followers. A viral post picked up by Angela Duckworth. Global reach. Podcast invitations. A negotiation expert from the cohort coached her through her package. Introductions to Oprah's network within 24 hours. And a career ecosystem that breathes, responds, and remembers. That's not luck. That's the compounding power of being in the room where it happens.

November: still counting. The takeaway Your next role isn't waiting in a job posting. It's being shaped in a conversation you're not part of yet - with people who don't know your name. Unless you're in the room where it happens. Group coaching isn't a compromise. It's a catalyst. Stop going solo. Start going exponential.
