#1533 - What's More True Now Than It's Ever Been For You?
Individual experiences, aspirations, and challenges mark our unique life journeys. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about a contrast in perspective. Every person has unique experiences and circumstances that shape their worldview and influence their decisions. From family dynamics and relationships to personal experiences and challenges, these complexities often catalyze growth. They force us to confront our vulnerabilities, question our assumptions, and broaden our perspectives. As we navigate these complexities, we better understand ourselves and our place in the world.

Let's do a quick twami. Quick to me, yeah, I don't know where I'm gonna go with this, so I think we just kind of wing it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, agreed.
Speaker 1:All right, you ready.
Speaker 1:I would say yes, all right, we go. Next level nation. Welcome back to another episode of next level University, where we help you level up your life, your love, your health and your wealth. We hope you enjoyed our latest episode, yesterday's episode number 1532. What are the signs that you're in your anxiety zone today? For episode number 1533, what's more true now than it's ever been for you? Kind of a hyper conscious episode throwback to the early days when we were the hyper conscious podcast. But I just feel like I've had a lot of life lessons lately. Maybe it's the holidays, maybe it's I Don't know. I really don't know what it is. I think triple L.
Speaker 2:What does that means lately?
Speaker 1:life lessons. Lately, I would say maybe the holidays after Thanksgiving. I feel like I usually get a lot of Lessons because, again, there's something to be said about you. Hear me talk about contrast and perspective all the time. Contrast and perspective are more powerful, at least in my opinion, when they're time-stamped. So this Thanksgiving versus last Thanksgiving, this Christmas versus last Christmas, this birthday versus last last last birthday, excuse me, wow so yeah, yeah, yeah, that's gonna be a good one so I thought we do an episode on it and I'm just gonna freestyle it.
Speaker 1:Alan, and my first thing, my first thought, my question for you is what is more true now Than it has ever been for you? Hmm, one easy way to take the spotlight off of yourself is to put it on to someone else.
Speaker 2:That's you, you're the only.
Speaker 1:You're the only other one here.
Speaker 2:I knew with that smile, I was in for a treat. What's more?
Speaker 1:true about me, not about you necessarily. What's more true now than it's ever been for you doesn't have to be about you, can be about anything, ah.
Speaker 2:Well, what? What I go to first when I ask that question to myself is self-belief is the most important thing in the entire world. It's. Again. I want the listeners to know why I talk about age so often. And I have some younger clients and I always talk about their age because I think in chronological time and I think in terms of the compound effect. In other words, the choices that you made in high school rippled in. They get more and more, the implications of them get larger, you know, over time. So an example you decided to smoke cigarettes when you were in, you know, high school and if you smoke for 20 years, the implications of that one choice Compound exponentially in a negative direction and that's why a lot of people have no noticeable negative repercussions for certain decisions they made until, all of a sudden, lung cancer. That's an extreme example, but it is the way it works. And so I talk about time and and my age all the time and I just want to make it clear to our listeners why that is. I'm 35 now and what's more true for me than ever is I just look around and I'm observing where we grew up and who we grew up with and friends and Facebook and the self-belief piece, the goals and dreams piece. What's more true than ever is goals and dreams and self-belief are so critical. They're so critical.
Speaker 2:I was on book club earlier. We're reading high performance habits with Brendan Burchard and we talked about the HP six is what he calls them, the the high performance six habits, and One of the first one is clarity. Kev, you and I went to high performance Academy back in 2019, 2018 stop asking me questions, I don't know 2018 or 2019 we did two events two years in a row. One of them was high performance Academy. The other one was called influencer, but the high performance Academy one you're supposed to take this assessment of high performance indicator it's. It tests you on these. It's a survey that tests you on how much clarity you have. And then there was like probably 600 or 700 people in the room and they broke us up into groups and in our groups, kevin and I realized we have a lot of clarity. This is back in the early hyper conscious days. I think we had like 150 episodes at that stage, something like that.
Speaker 1:I don't remember this was in 2018 because we went to another one in 2019 in 2019?
Speaker 2:I think it was 2018. I think so, and it was in Arizona, and then the second one was in San Diego, yes, but I remember Kevin and I realized, holy crap, we have a lot of clarity and so Goals, dreams, clarity and self-belief are very connected and, and in book club, we were talking about clarity and we were talking about Zero to ten. We were assessing zero to ten. How much clarity do you have for your future a Bigger, better, brighter future and some of the people in the room said ten, ten, ten. And it was like, okay, I'd be willing to bet that the people who said ten are the most fulfilled They've ever been and they said, yeah, there's something about having a bigger, better, brighter future that's aligned with who you aspire to be, and clarity about it and self-belief toward it. That just creates this, this ignited life of greatness. It's, it's awesome, and so that's what came up for me is self-belief Creates the bigger, better, brighter vision, and then everything else falls sort of in between that. My, what about you? Yeah, yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1:Thank you for that, my thought immediately jumped for some reason, to the most important thing and again, this is just my personal feeling slash belief. The most important thing that you want to Receive from the people that love you is the fact that they respect you, not respect you. They respect your decisions, they respect your choices, they respect you as a human being. Last, last night, I Was doing some work and Taran texted me and said hey, when you have a minute, can you come help me with something, because she knew I was doing deep work. Said, when you, when you have a minute, no, no rush, like when you get to a good stopping point.
Speaker 1:And I went and saw her and she was watching a movie and she said hey, I have a feeling there's something that might happen to this cat. Can you watch it? Make sure the cat doesn't die like this is a huge thing for her. And I giggled a little bit and she said what are you laughing? I said I'm just grateful that you Feel safe enough to ask me to do something like that, because I know there's probably a lot of a Lot of people that would like shame you for that.
Speaker 1:I'm like just it's not that big of a deal, but for me I think it's super, I think it's super cute and I respect. I respect how much she Cares about animals and all things, but animals specifically in this context, and I just think at a deep level I've heard so many people Just that toxic. I mean you could even make it about that, you could even have a toxic thing of. Oh, you know, you know how she is with animals and movies. That's that. Stuff Like that's toxic, that's not constructive, that's not respectful, or I always I try to do a great job of keeping the kitchen clean. I'm kitchen-manant at our house too, and it's not because I enjoy doing it. I hate it, I hate it. I just hate it less than Taryn does. Taryn does not enjoy doing it. I hate it less than she does. It's a good lesson in that.
Speaker 2:by the way, who hates it less?
Speaker 1:That's yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:That's going to be another episode. It works, it works. Who hates it?
Speaker 1:less, it does work. But I respect the fact that when the house is clean and when the kitchen is clean and things are neat, her life is better, her mental health is better, she's less anxious she's yeah, I respect that, I respect that. So I think that's a big thing. I would argue that one of the unique benefits of having the people that I've had the pleasure of having in my life is that most of them respect me and my ability to make my own decisions, and I'm just kind of connecting those dots now where that's one of the through lines of the people in my life. They let me live my life and they respect my decisions.
Speaker 2:Well, the reason for that, Kev, from what I've observed, is that anyone who doesn't, you just leave.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's fair, that's fair. I would say that's More than most, I would say Well.
Speaker 2:You avoid people who don't honor your desire to make your own choices.
Speaker 1:It's not sustainable.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, I agree.
Speaker 1:It's never a relationship that's going to.
Speaker 2:That's been one of the things I've come up on significantly since you and I met.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2:There are times behind the scenes where you've said tell that person to f off. Obviously you said it differently than that Maybe. But honestly, sometimes not really. That is a unique thing. I know that you have very supportive people in your life, but part of that is you just repel people that aren't.
Speaker 1:Well, I just I know that I'm going to have to do what I feel like I have to do anyway, so it's just, there's no point in me. If it's not sustainable, I don't do it. Very rational of you. Yeah, if it's not sustainable and I know it probably sounds this is one of those moments where it's hilarious because it makes perfect sense.
Speaker 2:Yep, to me, but it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, yeah, it's not that easy. Yeah, I think I just had. I've had a long time and a high level of necessity to do it early with. I'm telling you, one of the best things that ever happened to me was I got a job that forced me to travel and it was just. Look, nobody questioned it because I said I'm going to be making, I'm going to make the most money I've ever made. This is going to change my life. Can we share?
Speaker 2:So Kevin and I lived for a month with a mentor in Florida and long-term listeners will know this New listeners, this would be a new story but I remember people saying like you're just going to go live somewhere else for all of December. Like what about the holidays? You and I really were like we don't really care that much about that. We were single.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:We didn't have children. You know we have to do this. We have to do this. This is an opportunity very few people get, and it was awesome.
Speaker 1:I mean it was awful, but it was also awesome.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and that's the duality of life. But I remember certain friends of ours at the time were like I could never do that and it's like, listen, you could, but you don't want to because you have this really beautiful big family that would hate for you to leave, especially for the holidays Kevin and I grew up with. I don't know if I've shared this on the show or not, but I've been trying to be more vulnerable with things like this no-transcript. I've reflected on my past a lot in therapy and I've realized that by the age of 14 I there's a whole story behind this, so don't take this out of context but by the age of 14.
Speaker 2:I essentially lost three families. My father passed away when I was two and we didn't see his side of the family for the entire time. My stepdad was there and my stepdad was there from three to 14, which is 11 years and and then when he left he took his whole family with him and my mom had a falling out with her sister, which sort of ostracized us a bit from that family. So when I was 14, it was me and my mom alone in that big house. My sister had gone to live with her boyfriend and it was just us alone Gonna figure it out and I was the quote-unquote man of the house whatever that means at 14 and I didn't know how I was gonna go to school. We didn't have any money. I Didn't know how I was gonna go to college rather, not school but college and I Now understand, and this is so fascinating.
Speaker 2:But now I realize that I Don't feel super tied to a big, wide, large, extended family and ever since I started being with Emilia, she has a big family and a big extended family and they all get together regularly and it's. It's fascinating to realize that dream chasing and goal orientation and self-belief. When you're climbing Mount Everest and not everyone wants to climb it you kind of have to let go of the people who don't want to, not fully, but you can go back to base camp, one where they are, and meet and visit. But at the end of the day you're gonna have to go to Florida and live there for a month on a whim with a business mentor, with Kevin, when you're early in business and don't know what you're doing. We most people can't do stuff like that, kev, we could because we grew up without fathers and very small families and who knew that that was such a big advantage long term. I.
Speaker 1:Definitely didn't. I thought it was a huge disadvantage, didn't you?
Speaker 2:Yeah, for sure for sure.
Speaker 1:I thought. I Don't really know what I thought. Honestly, I thought it was Probably gonna come back and bite me in the butt in some way.
Speaker 2:Well, that's one of the things that I didn't know was true. What was the question originally?
Speaker 1:What are the what's more true now than it's ever been for you?
Speaker 2:What's more true now than it's ever been is that I did not realize that what I thought was a huge weakness and a huge detriment Actually ended up being Having an upside. I wouldn't say that it wasn't detrimental but, like as a kid, I always thought that was awful. And now, as an adult, I realized that I'm more freed up than other people. I don't have a lot of extended family, that is, that has their claws in me, so to speak, for lack of better phrasing. Yeah, and I realized as I coach all these people all over the world, they do big time. I mean, their family really cares about what they do and don't do, and they're very much caged by that, very much Do an alarming extent. And I didn't realize how free you and I were, dude. I don't think a lot of people could, on a whim, quit their jobs and then just start doing a podcast. I mean, that's, that's wildly crazy stuff. Well, I Always say this when I go on other shows.
Speaker 1:you have to understand circumstantially. I didn't have a household. So even even if you were just to say what percentage of people at 27? Don't have a house yet, don't have a partner, don't have any children, don't have any, have a super high level of responsibility, so yeah, I would say it's, all things considered, pretty crazy. Yeah, and hindsight, this is a point.
Speaker 2:Oh, one percent, that's why?
Speaker 1:because it's wild. Yeah, it's wild at the time I thought nothing of it. I was thinking today of just how wild think life is right now. I just it's weird, I don't know, for some reason I'm getting all sorts of different.
Speaker 2:Maybe it's because we're getting close to the.
Speaker 1:I mean, it's almost December and you also do this when you're in your anxiety zone?
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's true, I was driving down the street the other day. That's another one of your coping mechanisms, definitely I was driving down the street the other day. I was just like looking up in the sky like so weird Isn't this so weird, that's. Kevin, problems that I have aren't really that big of a deal all things considered universally.
Speaker 1:This is another one. This is something now that's more true than it's ever been for me. I spent some time with Matt recently and we were so, for those who don't know, matt and I lived together at one of his income properties and we were cleaning out the basement because he's getting new tenants. Oh yeah, I'm not sure I haven't seen.
Speaker 2:I have bins of stuff in that basement that I haven't seen in. Four years. Yeah, moving is always a trip.
Speaker 1:It's always a trip.
Speaker 2:I'm granted you weren't moving, but you know what I mean. You go through old boxes and it's so nostalgic.
Speaker 1:I was looking at old pay stubs from when I worked at my old company. It was weird, but we ended up having a conversation about Matt has this beautiful dog, harper, and I said, how much of a pain in the ass is it having a dog? And he's like, oh, that's the worst. It's the worst. Now he loves his dog and he's a great dog dad. But he's a business owner, he's an entrepreneur, he's someone who's trying to be productive.
Speaker 1:What's more true now than it's ever been for me is you really can't understand something until you experience it. Because I can tell you until I'm blue in the face that this decision is gonna affect you in a certain way. But you gotta experience it for yourself because it might be worth it. It might be. I can't imagine having cats is not. Probably it's not as hard as having dogs. You're gonna have to take them out. But I do the litter box every day and fudge an Acer on my desk in the morning and it's a giant pain in the butt. I wouldn't. I don't want it any other way. But I'm sure if you told me at the beginning I would probably say see, it can't be that big of a deal. It's not. How big of a deal could it be. You feed them three times a day and you scoop their litter box once. It can't be that big of a deal.
Speaker 2:That little, do you know they're about to gnaw at your ankles for food when.
Speaker 1:I know, I know.
Speaker 2:They're like hyenas man, so I can't even be in the kitchen with food on the counter without them being so that probably rains.
Speaker 1:True, for you that's a big one. I don't know. I used to think that. I think it depends on the person. I think there are certain people where you can say, hey, I know, this probably sounds like a really good idea, but I'm telling you it's not. They might really really really value your opinion and say, well, tell me more. And then maybe you'll tell them more and they might say you know what? I want to make this decision anyway because it's important to me. But I don't think I've really ever been that type of person. I think usually I have to figure it out for myself anyway. And yeah, alan.
Speaker 2:Alan, this is good stuff. Yeah, thank you. Three Rs.
Speaker 1:Results Results.
Speaker 2:Roles. Roles, responsibilities, nice work Nice work and I've never talked to you about this before, but the result you want is the pretty picture of you and cats and snuggling on the couch, and that's awesome. The role you have to play is cat dad and the responsibilities is litter box, feeding. Everything that goes with it. They get ringworm. That was a whole thing.
Speaker 1:Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 2:Pet insurance. You can't want the results without the roles and the responsibilities. And, to your point, kev, I had never hosted Thanksgiving before and I'm sharing this because I have a new appreciation. I never thought, oh, it would be easy. It wasn't. Oh, this is easy, and anyone who's ever hosted events is easy. Anyone who has hosted events actually knows hosting events is just unbelievably challenging. I mean, next level live is a whole thing. It's an endeavor and it's the hardest month ever, right? But you can't want the results without also wanting the roles and the responsibilities that come with it. And so I didn't even cook Thanksgiving dinner. I got it catered. All I had to do was heat it up and it was still really challenging. You have people talking to you. It's like listen, I need a minute. I have. I got my watch going off. The burners are going.
Speaker 1:That's what you hit me with. There's people talking to you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but you, you, I can't have this conversation right now. I have to make sure. I'm just trying to cook this turkey. I'm trying to cook this turkey. I got to make sure it doesn't get too dry. I got to there's not enough oven space. We have a gas oven, so the whole place smells like it's going to blow up and I'm playful with this. But at the end of the day, I have a new appreciation. I have a new appreciation for what it takes. Pardon, my alarm is still on there, yeah, why don't you shut the thing off?
Speaker 2:huh yeah, I'm going to. I'm going to do that. I have a new appreciation for what it takes, the responsibilities that it takes. So having a book club is awesome, the responsibilities of running a book club not as awesome, and I think that everything is that way and that's all I've got.
Speaker 1:You just sometimes just got to experience it for yourself. You just got to experience it for yourself. I told Taren one of the things there was UFC on a couple of weekends ago and I was like I need to watch it because I just started going back to Jiu Jitsu and I said now I can actually watch the fights with a higher understanding of what's happening Because it looks easy. Everything does. Everything looks easy on TV.
Speaker 1:You ever try to hit a 90 mile an hour fastball? I don't know if I've ever. I've definitely tried to hit it like an 85 mile an hour fastball. It's hard as hell. It looks really easy on TV. With those camera angles, though, they make it look really easy. So I think that's just another point to this. Sometimes you have to experience it for yourself to know how you would do, how you would do it if you'd even do it, If it would be worth it to you, what it's like, and we could even connect that to the Florida thing. A lot of people who told me they wouldn't do it haven't had the opportunity to do it yet, but if they have the opportunity to do it, they might do it. It's easy to say you wouldn't do something if you haven't had the opportunity yet, what I? I don't know, I don't really have a good example.
Speaker 2:But I don't, I don't what. I'm gonna need you to come up with one. I didn't need you to keep your mouth shut. I'm just kidding, I don't know. I don't know if I have a really good example.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, no, this is it's Saturday, alan and I are. This is a Saturday recording for us. It's a little different for me because I'm not supposed to be working today. I'm supposed to have a day off, you know. But Saturday kind of hang out, do my thing.
Speaker 2:So what's the example?
Speaker 1:I don't know. If you said we're gonna send you to space for free, you could go to space right now if you want. Would you do it? I don't know, I don't think so, but if I had the opportunity, would I. I don't know.
Speaker 2:You really asked me that question.
Speaker 1:If you would go to space.
Speaker 2:If we eventually go to space, would you come with me? I said for you baby? Yeah, for sure, of course.
Speaker 1:What about me? Of course, you gonna be a podcast from the moon. You know it, man.
Speaker 2:If I have to, Again, you know, in the future that is gonna be a very real possibility.
Speaker 1:Look, don't start with me now. It's too early for me to be talking about living on another planet. I don't know if I have a really good. I don't know if I have a really good example. Even you could even say there was a time in my life where, if you said, are you ever gonna be interviewed on a podcast or YouTube channel, I would have said no. Then you asked me Isn't that wild?
Speaker 2:It's wild Now how many.
Speaker 1:I don't know too many. I'm trying not to say the number because I realize if people hear it in different places they're gonna think I'm lying intentionally, when reality, I just don't know.
Speaker 2:800, maybe 700, 800 out of that, just say I think it's 800. I think it's a. Now you're in the clear and then when someone watches this, you know, seven months from now it'll be 900 and you'll be a liar. I.
Speaker 1:Might already be a liar. I don't know the truth the truth is, I'm not really sure. It's been a lot to the point where I've lost track, but Laura is so good at tracking them that she will never lose track best track in the game. Yeah, I'm not good at that for any of you team members listening.
Speaker 2:Best tracker in the game, laura. Hundred percent on her PPT last time.
Speaker 1:Strong 100%.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, she said. Well, technically it's 99.7 because it rounds up, laura, I don't care.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we'll give you that, we'll get it. What's your, what's your next little nugget? Uh?
Speaker 2:The three are value brings a value Really really responsibilities.
Speaker 1:really try to bring some value for this I got this.
Speaker 2:A Lot of people see results and they want the results, but they don't want the role and the responsibilities that come with it. Jerry and my EA and I'll you team amazing, beautiful photo of her and her family and Calvin.
Speaker 2:Shout out to Calvin graduated high school this is a while ago, probably three or four months ago and I said isn't it hilarious, isn't it fascinating how that is a picture, perfect image of you and your family. It's beautiful, but think about what you've had to take on as responsibility Underneath that, the role and responsibility underneath that beautiful picture of her perfect photo. Everyone wants the photo with the beautiful family, but do you want to poopy diaper and all that stuff that comes with it? And? And the answer is no. But you can't have one without the other. And that's my next one. Okay, poopy diaper, poopy diapers. Yeah, I just picked up poop on the carpet right before this episode From Tucker, so I talk.
Speaker 1:Her is a dog, for those listening.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was Supplies, my friend Tucker. No, I'm good. I was supposed to take him out at noon. I didn't and he pooped on the carpet. So when you got to go, you got to go.
Speaker 1:It's on me, it's on you, it's not on Tucker, it's on you I appreciate that ownership.
Speaker 1:My next-level nugget would be Just what I said. I don't know if you can really understand something until you experience some version of it. You can always try. You can try to empathize. I think empathy is obviously a super important thing. I think it's easy to empathize when you've experienced it because at least you can imagine to a greater degree that's what I would say hundred percent fire, hundred percent hundo pee, as I say, next-level nation. If you have not yet joined our private Facebook group yet, please do a group of like-minded individuals. And yeah, sometimes we have weird conversations like this. As I always say, you haven't said that once in your life.
Speaker 1:I say it all the time.
Speaker 2:No, you've never said that.
Speaker 1:I say I said it's a turn, not 24 hours ago, really hundo pee, that's a hundred percent.
Speaker 2:seven years, man, you never say hundo pee to me.
Speaker 1:There's certain things that I know you're not ready for yet. You are ready for it today and the amazing in all you community you are ready for it today to hundo pee I.
Speaker 2:Can't tell if you're lying playfully or if you actually say that.
Speaker 1:I 100% say it.
Speaker 2:And I just said, it Weekly well, okay, fair fair assessment. Are you done with your? I am done. For those of you who are listening, we do a holiday event every year for children of single parents. We rent out the YMCA, the whole gymnasium and the arts and crafts room. We get pizza and presents and it's awesome, and we have a photographer with a backdrop and we have holiday music Appropriate holiday music usually, actually, it's usually great big fan.
Speaker 2:It was good. Good playlist. Kids pop and we play with football and we play football and we play basketball most importantly, my favorite sport and it's awesome, and there's a video. There's a landing page in the show notes. Check it out. There's a video. It's only a minute and a half long and you're gonna just see how lit up these kids are and how excited they are and they all open a gift and they all rush to the center while we try to figure out whose gift is what. It's pretty great. So please donate. We appreciate it very, very much. We already matched $500 and so we are looking for 500. So if, if, 10 people from the community donate 50 bucks, we hit our goal. So thank you, thank you, thank you in advance. We appreciate you and and we will put you on a list if you donate and we will send you a video from this year so you can see where your money went.
Speaker 1:I Don't know what we're doing for tomorrow's episode.
Speaker 1:It's just gonna be a video of Kevin eating 50 pizzas On a private island. Yeah, jokes on you here, on him. I always say this because I think it's important, even if we don't get the donations, no matter what the events can happen, even if we pay for it out of our pocket. So I always like to say that, because it's not, I'm super grateful for each and every one Of the community members. If you can afford to give, we are super grateful. If not, make sure you Support your family first, but we this usually. We usually get plenty of donations, so we're grateful for everybody that does very.
Speaker 1:I don't know community very, very generous. I don't know what we're doing for tomorrow's episode because I'm out here, jeffin, so it'll probably be something that's not your bullet not valuable at all. Similar to today's episode would be, my guess, perfect. So that's what we're gonna do tomorrow for episode number 1534. Maybe listen to kids Bob, perfect, perfect. He says, as always we love you, we appreciate you, grateful for each and every one of you and an L? You. We do not have fans, we have family. We will talk to you all tomorrow.
