So Many Of The Skills You Need To Get Good At Don’t Feel Good (2384)

from Next Level University · host Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros

In this episode of Next Level University, Kevin and Alan unpack a question that hits harder the more you grow: what if getting to the next level means learning how to disappoint people? They talk openly about the skills that do not feel good to build, like saying no, giving hard feedback, protecting your time, and facing the guilt that can come with all of it. Through stories about sports, leadership, friendship, and business, they show how external success often creates internal pressure. They also explore the difference between under-committing, over-committing, and building relationships you can actually sustain.This episode will help you think about the one skill that could change everything for you and the hidden skill you may need to build right after it. Press play for a real, honest look at growth that most people do not talk about._______________________Track the Work. Earn the Results.
