Alan Lazaros is a coach, trainer, podcast host, Founder and Owner of Next Level University, who has learned the hard way that external success is empty when it's not aligned with who you really are, as well as who you aspire to be. As a coach, trainer, and podcaster, Alan believes in a heart driven but NO BS approach to achieving both external success as well as internal fulfillment. He is passionate about helping others achieve the next level of their life, love, health, and wealth. Alan shares how his father passed away in a car accident when he was 2 years old. At age 26, after getting into a nearly fatal car accident himself, he questioned everything he was doing in life. He explains that he questioned who he was and the choices he was making. Hitting an all-time low, Alan learned the hard way that external success is empty when it's not aligned with who you really are and who you really aspire to be. Filled with pain, regret, and confusion, he searched for answers and finally found what he had been missing all this time, which was Holistic Self-Improvement. After that, he did a deep dive into every podcast, course, Ted Talk, and book he could get my hands on, a process which not only transformed him and his life but also gave him the courage to trade in an unfulfilling career for a more meaningful calling he was proud to go all in on. And now he helps others do the same.

Send us a textIf you've ever wondered why some podcasts quietly stack momentum while others sputter out by episode 21, this conversation with Alan Lazarus pulls back the curtain. We get honest about the real work: pairing repeatable systems with genuine people skills, playing the long game with weekly cadence, and aligning passion with purpose so profit arrives as a result—not the goal.Alan traces a winding path from a life‑altering car crash to building Next Level University, revealing how each iteration of his show sharpened the niche and strengthened the promise: 1% improvement, every day. He explains the two‑train model that keeps creators afloat—let a short‑term train fund your life while a long‑term train (your podcast) compounds trust and opportunity. We break down the “triad of failure” that derails new hosts—wrong expectations, wrong approach, wrong time perspective—and replace it with a durable blueprint: clear listener targeting, dependable publishing, and continuous upgrades to titles, artwork, audio, and show notes that boost discoverability and retention.We also dig into the craft that separates memorable voices from forgettable feeds: storytelling with hook‑story‑lesson‑future pace, asking “who is the listener?” before you hit record, and using analogies that bridge the abstract to the obvious. Alan's take on the industry's future is practical and optimistic—barriers keep falling, reach keeps rising, and the most serious creators will win bigger than ever by mixing consistency with care. If you're ready to stop dabbling and start compounding, this conversation gives you the mindset, the model, and the next steps to become unignorable.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review.

What happens when everything you’ve built feels like it’s built on the wrong foundation? Alan Lazaros was chasing all the right things on paper. The degrees. The job. The money. But a head-on car accident at 26, eerily similar to the one that killed his father when Alan was just 2, brought it all to a crashing halt.

His relationships. His identity. That wake-up call led him to walk away from Corporate America and start over with intention. Now the CEO and co-host of Next Level University, a global top 100 podcast with over 2,000 episodes across 170 countries, Alan helps others transform their lives in the areas of health, wealth, love, and personal growth.
