In today’s episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros share why success often looks selfish to people who don’t understand the sacrifices and priorities behind it. Drawing from personal experiences and years of coaching, they discuss how conflicting core values strain relationships, why opportunity cost matters, and how pursuing meaningful goals can change how others perceive you.
Kevin and Alan also challenge each other’s views on achievement, mediocrity, and personal growth, highlighting the importance of balancing high standards with realistic expectations. This conversation offers practical insights to help you manage outside pressure, set boundaries without guilt, and make decisions aligned with your long-term goals while maintaining meaningful relationships. Own your priorities. Let your consistency explain them.
