Have you ever felt like you're just winging it in life? Navigating through life can often feel like an improvisational act, especially when faced with the inevitable uncertainty of personal and professional growth. In this episode, Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros delve into the paradoxical experience of figuring it out while simultaneously becoming experts in their respective fields. It’s an invitation to laugh at life's uncertainties and embrace the chaos of personal growth. It's a candid discussion about finding your path without a map, balancing authenticity with the pursuit of self-improvement, and, ultimately, the art of winging it through life and learning.

#1578 - Do You Actually “Just Trust People Too Much”?

Next Level University

01/11/24 • 29 min

Send us a text

In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros focused on a critical component of human interaction—trust. The conversation will take listeners to understand the delicate balance between trusting too much and not trusting enough. This balance, often called the trust equilibrium, is essential in personal and professional relationships. Navigating the emotional landscape of trust is indeed a tightrope walk. Still, with the right balance, we can stride confidently, expanding our trust circles and embracing the relationships that shape our lives.

#1114 - Are You Afraid Of Your Own Greatness? - Live Podcast

Next Level University

10/04/22 • 28 min

Send us a text

The Jonah Complex – the fear of success that prevents self-actualization or the realization of one’s potential. In this week’s live podcast, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros deeply dive into the concept of fearing one’s greatness and why people have it. Everyone has a voice inside them that tells them they can be someone great. However, most of us would rather join the crowd, abide by social norms, and lose our individualities than dare to become the odd ones out.
