from Next Level University · host Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros

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.
