Don’t Feel Good About Bad Things… (2367)

Your feelings are not always your friend. In this episode, Kevin and Alan examine how emotions quietly influence the decisions that shape your results, identity, and future. Drawing from years of coaching, building businesses, and producing thousands of episodes, they highlight a pattern they see constantly. Many people reward themselves emotionally for choices that feel good in the moment but slowly undermine long-term progress.This episode challenges you to pay attention to what your emotions are reinforcing and whether those signals are aligned with the life you want to build. Listen carefully. The decision that feels good today may deserve a second look._______________________Learn more about:Book Alan’s Business Breakthrough Session.
