What Happens Vs What It Means About You (2274)

Next Level University

In today’s episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros reveal why your confidence and consistency are shaped less by what happens and more by the meaning you attach to those moments. After thousands of coaching calls and nearly a decade of daily episodes, Kevin and Alan have seen how unexamined beliefs quietly influence decision-making, self-improvement, and long-term personal development. This conversation challenges the assumptions you’ve been operating from and offers a clearer lens for understanding how identity is built and reshaped over time.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, uncertain, or confused by your own reactions, this episode delivers the perspective shift you didn’t know you needed.
