In today’s episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros expose the real reason most people struggle with consistency, productivity, and follow-through. This conversation cuts past surface-level time management advice and into priorities, self-discipline, and long-term identity. Drawing from years of coaching and thousands of conversations, they explain why time is allocated, not found, and why high performers build their lives around non-negotiable standards.
If you are focused on personal growth, habit formation, and sustainable success, this episode will challenge how you think about effort, sacrifice, and results. Stop protecting comfort and start building a future you do not have to explain.
