What if the thing holding you back is not the obstacle, but your inability to identify the real constraint? In this episode, Kevin and Alan walk through why people stay stuck when they solve the wrong problem. They discuss internal and external constraints, self-awareness, discipline, environment, goal alignment, and the level of execution required for meaningful progress.After thousands of episodes and years of coaching, Kevin and Alan have seen the same pattern again and again. Most people either lack the awareness to see the real issue or the consistency to do what the goal requires. Better results start with better diagnosis. Stop guessing, find the constraint, and build your life around solving it._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

The answer lives beneath the excuse. In today's episode, Kevin and Alan examine why real progress starts with finding the constraint, not defending the symptom. Kevin uses a simple fitness and sleep example to show how quickly the mind reaches for easy labels, while Alan connects root cause analysis to coaching, performance, money, and relationships.With thousands of episodes and years of client work behind them, they make a grounded case for deeper thinking, clearer goals, and honest self-awareness. The goal is not to overthink. It is to think accurately enough to solve the right problem. Stop negotiating with symptoms. Find the root before it grows a personality._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

In this episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros break down how self-belief shapes identity, learning, and long-term success. Kevin reflects on an old dream that once felt impossible and reveals the deeper lesson: most limits are accepted internally before reality ever tests them.They discuss fantasy, visualization, rumination, action, insecurity, and the role of better questions in real growth. Belief matters, but only when it turns into skill, consistency, and self-awareness. Belief opens the door. Skill keeps you from getting escorted out._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

The burden you avoid becomes the life you repeat. In this episode, Kevin and Alan talk about what people are really running from when success feels heavy, burnout feels normal, and escape starts looking like freedom. They get into responsibility, self-awareness, fulfillment, fear of judgment, and the danger of building a life around someone else's strategy. Because sometimes the problem is not your discipline. It is the direction you keep forcing yourself to follow. Look at the thing you keep dodging. It probably has your name on the lease._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session.

In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros explain why better results do not fix broken systems. More money, more motivation, or a strong month can feel like progress, but if the inputs are not being tracked, the same problems eventually come back. Kevin shares a real coaching conversation about income, spending, and the blind spots that keep people stuck financially. Alan adds what he has seen after years of coaching people who say they want freedom but resist the structure needed to build it.Together, they make the case that tracking is not about restriction. It is about honesty, ownership, and performance. The result is not the solution. The system is. Track the truth before it starts tracking you._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

Growth has standards. In this episode, Kevin and Alan challenge the belief that success eventually earns you a pass from effort, discomfort, or responsibility.

They also challenge the “you are enough” message and explain why your goals require a stronger version of you.If you want higher standards, better consistency, and a clearer path to growth, this episode will make you look at where you are and what you still need to earn.

Discover how karaoke becomes a surprising laboratory for courage, authenticity, and leadership. In this episode, you'll learn eight powerful lessons from the karaoke stage that can radically shift how you show up as a fundraiser, leader, and human being.   Key Takeaways: Courage comes before confidence; action is what generates the confidence you're waiting for. Releasing attachment to specific outcomes creates space for authenticity, deeper relationships, and “magical” results. Most people are not judging you nearly as harshly as you judge yourself; they are usually rooting for you to succeed. Discomfort is often evidence of growth, and expanding your capacity to be uncomfortable is essential for meaningful leadership and fundraising. Authenticity, passion, and alignment are far more compelling than perfection; connection will always beat flawless performance.   “The more tied to a result you are, the less likely you will have that result.” “Connection beats perfection every time.” “The magic isn't in hitting every note. The magic is just being willing to sing."  - Maryanne Dersch     Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

What if mastery is not about doing more, but making the right things harder? In today's episode, Kevin and Alan challenge the idea that consistency alone creates growth. Real mastery requires deliberate challenge, honest self-awareness, and the discipline to raise the standard once something gets easy.Kevin shares how a few days away from the gym made life feel easier, while Alan connects mastery to deep practice, fitness, coaching, podcasting, and long-term identity. They explain why time alone does not create skill, why comfort kills progress, and why your future 80% can outperform your current 100%. Listen in, then make one rep harder on purpose. Comfort has been overpaid._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

In this episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros explore why money is a weak long-term motivator when it is not backed by mastery, impact, and meaningful work. Success is not built by chasing profitability first. It is built by getting deeply skilled at something valuable, understanding where the future is headed, and staying consistent long enough to become undeniable. They challenge the common belief that money should be the main driver and explain why purpose, skill, self-awareness, and market value have to work together. This episode is for anyone who wants to build a career, business, or life with more substance, stronger standards, and real staying power.

What if “you are enough” is true as a human being, but not true for the goals you say you want? In this episode, Kevin and Alan challenge one of the most common messages in personal development and separate intrinsic value from extrinsic capability. They talk about self-worth, identity, goals, discipline, growth, and why not being “enough yet” does not mean something is wrong with you. It means there is a skill gap, a consistency gap, or a courage gap that must be developed.This conversation brings clarity to the tension between striving and arriving, ambition and gratitude, self-acceptance and self-improvement. It is a grounded look at how to pursue your next level without turning growth into self-punishment. Listen now, because feeling good is useful, but becoming better is harder to fake._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

You've done this before. You get a clean plan, the macros mapped out, a tidy calorie budget, and you feel completely ready... and then a busy work week, an on-call shift, or the after-school chaos quietly dismantles it by Wednesday. In this short bonus episode, I'm talking about why a plan on paper almost never survives real life, and what actually does. There's a big difference between having a strategy ChatGPT can spit out and having what I call million-dollar skills, the kind that transcend your calendar and don't run on willpower. I won't give all three away here, but I'll say this: they're the reason my clients don't just lose the weight, they go after bolder promotions, hold firmer boundaries, and feel more present at home. If you've been circling the idea of joining us inside Burn Stress, Lose Weight, Feel Unstoppable, this is the one to listen to first. Enrollment is open this week, and our next cohort starts next.   Enrollment Now Open for The Unstoppable Group: https://burnstressloseweight.com/group 

In this episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros challenge the way most people think about goals, growth, and achievement. A goal is not just something to reach. It is a system that reveals your habits, your standards, your self-awareness, and your willingness to handle pressure. Kevin and Alan talk about why meaningful goals matter, why the byproducts of effort are easy to miss, and how self-respect is built through doing difficult things consistently.They also examine the difference between wanting the outcome and becoming the kind of person who can sustain it. If your goals are not changing your behavior, they may not be strong enough yet. Listen now, because the finish line is useful, but the version of you crossing it is the real audit._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session.

You cannot improve what you do not understand. In today's episode, Kevin and Alan talk about why goals fail when awareness is missing. Kevin shares his struggle with a body fat percentage challenge and the uncertainty of tracking something new. Alan connects it to measurement, trajectory, percent error, and setting targets that actually make sense. With thousands of episodes, coaching experience, and client patterns behind them, they show why clear goals need more than motivation. They need context, feedback, and honest data.

What if the strategy you keep ignoring is the exact one that would finally change your life? In this episode, Kevin and Alan talk about why the most reliable path to personal growth, financial stability, fitness, and long-term success is usually the least exciting one. Shortcuts are easy to chase because they promise speed, status, and certainty. Fundamentals require more discipline, patience, self-awareness, and the willingness to repeat what works long after it stops feeling impressive.This episode challenges the desire for quick wins and brings the focus back to consistency, identity, and skill building. If you want better results, stop chasing the shiny thing and start respecting the boring thing.

In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros explore why fitness, finance, and family often compete instead of cooperate. Kevin shares what becoming debt-free taught him about sacrifice, financial pressure, and opportunity cost, while Alan pulls from years of coaching individuals, couples, and teams to explain why most people are strong in one area, average in another, and underdeveloped somewhere else.This episode takes an honest look at the tradeoffs behind serious goals. Ambition matters, but without self-awareness, priorities can quietly damage the areas you thought you were protecting. If you want better results, you need to understand the full game you are playing, what season you are in, and which part of your life keeps paying for your choices. Press play, then audit the priority that might be costing more than you think._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

When success starts feeling unfamiliar. In this episode, Kevin and Alan examine why identity crises often happen when growth starts to challenge the version of yourself you have been living from. Progress can expose the gap between who you thought you were and who your results now require you to become. This episode breaks down self-belief, imposter patterns, confidence, long-term consistency, and the pressure that comes with stepping into bigger opportunities. It also challenges the idea that discomfort always means you are failing. Sometimes it means your identity is being forced to catch up.If your life is changing faster than your self-image, this episode will help you make sense of the tension.

What story are you telling yourself that your behavior keeps exposing?In today's episode, Kevin and Alan break down the gap between what we say we are going to do and what our actions actually prove. Kevin shares why his 6 a.m. content plan fell apart fast, while Alan connects the lesson to fitness, tracking, coaching, and the real cost of competing goals.This episode challenges the idea that knowledge is enough.

In this episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about reliability as a core skill for success, trust, leadership, and personal growth. Most people want bigger opportunities, but fewer people have built the consistency required to be trusted with them. Kevin and Alan break down why reliability creates certainty, why talent without dependability eventually becomes a liability, and how self-consistency shapes the way others experience your standards.This episode challenges you to look at where you show up, where you drift, and where your results are quietly being limited by inconsistency. If you want to become more valuable, more trusted, and harder to replace, start with the skill everyone respects, but too many people avoid.

Learn what it really takes to scale a focused nonprofit, build long-term corporate partnerships, and play the long game in fundraising without losing sight of the people you serve.   Key Takeaways: A narrow, concrete focus, like providing brand-name shoes, can dramatically amplify a nonprofit's clarity, impact, and support. Strong corporate partnerships grow slowly from shared values, deep listening, and customized collaboration, not one-size-fits-all pitches. How support is delivered matters as much as what's delivered; respect and flexibility turn shoes into symbols of dignity and belonging. Individual donors and family foundations are the stability engine, while corporate and sports partners mainly boost visibility and reach. Shifting from “these kids” to “our kids” reinforces shared responsibility and reminds us that every child is worthy of investment.   "How we give them shoes is as important as the shoes we give."   “Our program is about the kids. I say, you know, we're really not about shoes, we're about the kids.”   “It's not a matter of making donors into heroes. I don't like that language. It's thinking, it's just being grateful for what they've done, and letting them know this is what you've allowed to happen.” - Amy Fass   Amy Fass is the leader behind Shoes That Fit, a national nonprofit that provides new athletic shoes to children experiencing homelessness and low-income circumstances across all 50 states. Under her leadership, the organization has grown from a small operation into a nationwide nonprofit that has delivered more than one million pairs of sneakers to kids in need. An Amazon best-selling author and advocate for children affected by poverty, Amy speaks on scaling nonprofits, building strong corporate partnerships, and creating sustainable impact. She's known for bringing a Fortune 500 leadership mindset to the nonprofit world, helping organizations grow, adapt in times of crisis, and give children the confidence and opportunity that can start with something as simple as a new pair of shoes.   Reach out to Amy Fass at: Website: https://www.shoesthatfit.org/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/shoes-that-fit/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ShoesThatFitNonProfit       Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

What if the biggest threat to your growth is the comfort you already earned?In this episode, Kevin and Alan challenge the idea that gratitude alone will keep you grounded, focused, and moving forward. They break down how complacency starts, why success can quietly lower your standards, and how ambition, measurement, humility, and consistency protect long-term progress.This is a clear look at the difference between being grateful and getting comfortable. If your results matter, your standards need to be reviewed, not assumed. Check them before comfort starts making decisions for you._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session.

In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros break down why complacency can quietly take away the life, relationship, body, business, or identity you worked so hard to build. Through personal examples, coaching insights, and years of self-improvement experience, they show how comfort can slowly lower your standards before you even realize what is happening.Kevin and Alan unpack the difference between real rest and coast mode, why success still requires humility, and how your effort often exposes what you truly value. This episode is a grounded reminder that growth does not stay with you just because you earned it once.

You know what to do.So why are you still stuck?In this episode, I sit down with Amy Lenius for an honest conversation about the uncomfortable side of personal growth—the part most people avoid talking about.Amy Lenius is the Director of Group Coaching at Next Level University, professional speaker, event coordinator, MC, and certified personal development and holistic success coach.We explore why growth doesn't always feel good, how self-awareness changes the trajectory of your life, and why the pain of staying the same eventually becomes greater than the pain of changing.Amy shares powerful insights on self-worth, consistency, emotional patterns, and what success actually looks like when it's internally defined instead of socially performed.This conversation is a reminder that real growth isn't about becoming perfect.It's about becoming honest.In this episode, we discuss:Why growth feels uncomfortableThe gap between knowing and doingSelf-awareness and self-actualizationHow your brain tries to keep you “safe”The role of self-worth in successWhy consistency is messy (not perfect)Social media vs real life fulfillmentHow to stop repeating unconscious patternsThe difference between external success and aligned success

Healing starts when we stop avoiding the hard questions and start telling ourselves the truth. Because growth doesn't come from pretending the pain never happened— it comes from learning what to do with it.  Today with Army veteran and author Devin Fish for a deeply honest conversation about trauma, addiction, self-worth, and the difficult questions we're often forced to confront after pain and loss. Devin shares his journey from a childhood marked by poverty, instability, self-hatred, and generational trauma to serving nearly a decade in the Army as a cavalry scout and career counselor. Along the way, he faced addiction, emotional struggles, and the internal battles that many people carry silently. We talk about how unresolved pain shapes identity, relationships, and the choices we make—and how healing often begins when we stop running from the hard questions and start facing them honestly. Devin also opens up about the lessons he learned through military service, personal growth, and writing his book, Answering the Hard Questions. His story is one of perseverance, accountability, and learning how to rebuild yourself even after years of struggle. This conversation is about trauma, healing, resilience, addiction recovery, and personal transformation—and the reminder that your past does not have to define your future.

The people around you matter more than most people want to admit. Some raise your standards. Some quietly tolerate your growth. Some support your mission. Others make success harder than it needs to be. In this episode, Kevin and Alan break down the different types of people who influence your self-belief, boundaries, consistency, and long-term success.They look at why certain relationships become constraints, how ambition can trigger insecurity in others, and why real leadership means supporting people without abandoning yourself.

What if the thing you call perfectionism is actually your mind trying to keep you socially safe?In today's episode, Kevin and Alan examine the hidden fears that keep high-performing people from taking the next step. They break down perfectionism as more than a need to get things right. It can be fear of failing, fear of being judged, or fear of becoming too visible. Through client patterns, coaching experience, and their own history with courses, public speaking, content, and criticism, they show why the next level often requires a more honest relationship with discomfort.Growth does not happen by waiting for confidence to arrive first. It happens when you learn how to move while the fear is still in the room. The box may feel safe, but it was never built for your potential._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

In this episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros challenge the way most people think about perfectionism. It is not always about caring too much or wanting excellence. Sometimes, it is fear wearing a more respectable outfit. They break down the hidden fears that keep people from launching, growing, speaking up, or stepping beyond the identity they have outgrown.From fear of failure to fear of judgment to the pressure of belonging, this episode looks at why avoidance can feel logical when it is actually emotional. It is a grounded look at self-awareness, identity, confidence, and the invisible social limits that shape what people believe they are allowed to become. If “I'm just not ready yet” keeps showing up, it may be time to interrogate the suspect._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

Measure the goal, master the growth. In today's episode, Kevin and Alan get clear on why vague goals rarely lead to real change. Wanting to feel more confident, aligned, or motivated matters, but without a metric, it is hard to know whether you are actually improving or just hoping you are. Drawing from coaching clients, the Next Level Podcast Accelerator, and their years of building NLU, they separate vision from goals, habits from metrics, and emotion from evidence.This episode brings clarity to goal-setting, consistency, accountability, and the kind of self-awareness that turns intention into proof. If your goals sound strong but keep breaking down in execution, this one will sharpen the target. Press play before your next “goal” starts freelancing as a personality trait._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

What if the advice holding you back sounds reasonable because it matches what you already want to believe?In this episode, Kevin and Alan challenge the way most people judge advice, especially when they are still unclear on their goals, values, standards, and current circumstances. Not all advice is useful. Some of it sounds smart, feels validating, and still moves you in the wrong direction.This conversation breaks down how to filter guidance through self-awareness, personal values, decision-making, work ethic, identity, and long-term success. You will hear why context matters, why easy answers can be dangerous, and why the right advice must match the person receiving it, not just the person giving it. If you want better outcomes, stop collecting opinions and start building the discernment to know which ones deserve your attention._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session.

In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros challenge the advice people accept without realizing the cost. Kevin shares a lesson from training with Bruce, an 80-year-old who still shows up with discipline, intensity, and a better attitude than many people half his age. Alan connects it to coaching, maturity, personal standards, and the reality that high-value people are harder to access.This episode gets into mindset, self-awareness, ownership, and the quiet danger of letting miserable people influence your future. If you want better results, you need to be more selective about whose words you let shape your thinking. Some advice is wisdom. Some of it is just defeat standing up straight._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

One of the biggest fears I hear in dating is, “I don't want to come across as needy.”So we stay quiet. We downplay what matters, and we tolerate less than we deserve.Having needs doesn't make you needy. It makes you human.Here are five key differences between having needs and being needy, so you can show up with confidence instead of fear.►Please subscribe/rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts http://bit.ly/lastfirstdateradio ►If you're feeling stuck in dating and relationships and would like to find your last first date, sign up for a complimentary 45-minute breakthrough session with Sandy https://lastfirstdate.com/application ►Join Your Last First Date on Facebook https://facebook.com/groups/yourlastfirstdate ►Get Sandy's books, Becoming a Woman of Value; How to Thrive in Life and Love https://bit.ly/womanofvaluebook , Choice Points in Dating https://amzn.to/3jTFQe9 and Love at Last https://amzn.to/4erpj7C ►Get FREE coaching on the podcast! https://bit.ly/LFDradiocoaching ►FREE download: “Top 10 Reasons Why Men Suddenly Pull Away” http://bit.ly/whymendisappear ►FREE download: “The Green Light Guide to Dating After 50” https://lastfirstdate.com/green-light-guide/ ►Group Coaching: https://lastfirstdate.com/the-woman-of-value-club/ ►Website → https://lastfirstdate.com/ ► Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/lastfirstdate1/ ► TikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@lastfirstdate1►Get Amazon Music Unlimited FREE for 30 days at https://getamazonmusic.com/lastfirstdate
