In this episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros walk through the next layer of the reliability-versus-adaptability conversation and explain why accountability is the third skill that makes consistency sustainable. Kevin and Alan break down why consistency is not just about showing up. It requires trust, flexibility, and the right pressure to follow through when conditions are not ideal.

This episode will help you see which part of your consistency triangle is strongest, which one needs work, and which one may be quietly slowing your growth. Listen before your excuses start building a support group.

Transcript

Kevin Palmieri

(0:00) As promised, we're going to do a part two because I still believe, and we're obviously going to go deeper into it, but I think reliability is one of the most, if not the most important thing for success because it affects your relationships, it affects your reputation, it affects the way people see you. (0:20) And again, you can take that too far for sure, but there is a piece of that that is required for a certain level of success.

Alan Lazaros

(0:26) Yeah, there's no question you need both. (0:28) The question is, which one are you good at? (0:31) And we have a third that we believe is critical if you want to be consistent.

Kevin Palmieri

(0:37) Welcome to Next Level University. (0:40) I'm your host, Kevin Palmieri. (0:42) And I'm your co-host, Alan Lazaros.(0:45) At NLU, we believe in a heart-driven but no BS approach to holistic self-improvement for dream chasers.

Alan Lazaros

(0:51) Our goal with every episode is to help you level up your life, love, health, and wealth.

Kevin Palmieri

(0:58) We bring you a new episode every single day on topics like confidence, self-belief, self-worth, self-awareness, relationships, boundaries, consistency, habits, and defining your own unique version of success.

Alan Lazaros

(1:14) Self-improvement in your pocket every day, from anywhere, completely free.

Kevin Palmieri

(1:20) Welcome to Next Level University. (1:26) Next Level Nation today for episode number 2488, Reliability vs Adaptability Part 2. (1:32) I never know what to name Part 2 because I don't know what we're going to talk about outside of what we said we were going to talk about.(1:37) But to Alan's point, Alan said, what's the third? (1:40) So if there's, Alan loves pyramids and triads. (1:45) Reliability, adaptability.(1:48) What was the third that we came up with? (1:50) Accountability.

Alan Lazaros

(1:52) And so picture a triangle, adaptability, reliability, accountability, and in the center is consistency. (2:02) Now, I have come to understand that consistency is one of the hardest things in the world for people. (2:13) I was on with a client earlier.(2:16) I know you might be listening. (2:18) And I said, what do you suck at most? (2:19) Because we did the new runway for Q3.(2:21) There's 85 days left in Q3. (2:23) July 1st, October 1st. (2:26) And we go through the whole runway, top three priorities, top three goals, top three KPIs, key performance indicators, top three habits.(2:34) And the habits is really cool. (2:36) It's if I don't blank in the morning, my day goes off the rails. (2:39) It's a great question to ask yourself.(2:41) And then there's the most important skill. (2:42) One, one per quarter, most important skill. (2:45) Right now, mine is reliability.(2:47) If you listen to the last episode, now you know why. (2:51) She said consistency. (2:53) A lot of people suck at consistency, man.

Kevin Palmieri

(2:57) I would say that is the issue for the vast majority of people.

Alan Lazaros

(3:00) Agreed. (3:01) And that's what you and I are actually really good at. (3:04) Mm.

Kevin Palmieri

(3:06) We have been really consistent. (3:08) Is that because we have all three between the two of us?

Alan Lazaros

(3:12) Yes.

Kevin Palmieri

(3:13) That's interesting. (3:14) Yeah. (3:15) Because I'm adaptable, you're reliable, and we're both accountable to each other.(3:19) We're accountable to each other. (3:20) And like people used to ask us all the time, like, how have you not missed an episode? (3:23) And I said, it's literally in the fucking branding.(3:26) We literally say we'll never miss an episode. (3:29) So there's like a- We've come close.

Alan Lazaros

(3:32) But not really though. (3:33) Not really. (3:34) Yeah.(3:34) No.

Kevin Palmieri

(3:34) Like seriously though.

Alan Lazaros

(3:35) We've come close as in like the night before.

Kevin Palmieri

(3:37) Yeah. (3:37) Yeah.

Alan Lazaros

(3:37) But we've never, there's never been- A question about it. (3:40) Yeah.

Kevin Palmieri

(3:40) Yeah. (3:41) Yeah. (3:41) We've never, yeah.

Alan Lazaros

(3:43) It's never been like- If you use the joke, I'll record from a hospital bed if I have to.

Kevin Palmieri

(3:46) A hundred percent. (3:47) I plan on it. (3:48) At some point, I'm sure I'll get hurt.(3:51) You know, I'll have to record. (3:52) I'm not going to, I'll have to record somewhere else other than here. (3:54) Just give me, give me the mic and we'll figure it out.(3:57) Yeah. (3:58) You recorded at your mom's place yesterday. (4:01) Yeah.(4:01) Many times. (4:02) I mean, several times at this point, right? (4:04) Yeah.(4:05) It's not, it's not ideal, but that is, that's the thing is like, if it has to be perfect- They're not going to be consistent. (4:16) But here's the thing though. (4:18) I understand why if you, if you want to be really reliable, one of the reasons you probably want to be really reliable is because you want people to look at you as reliable.(4:28) And there's, there's something that comes with that. (4:29) There's the social part of that. (4:32) Sometimes the only way to be reliable is to be extremely adaptable, which doesn't make you look good.(4:37) My camera in the last two episodes was not good. (4:39) Like it, I did what I could with what I, the placement of it, the angle of it, the, it wasn't optimal. (4:45) And that might be a cred hit.(4:47) If you land on that as the first episode, like you're probably not going to watch anymore. (4:51) But sometimes I feel like you have to choose these things.

Alan Lazaros

(4:57) So I've told you about a Charlie Munger commencement speech where he talks about inverting things. (5:09) Inversion is something I really like too. (5:11) It's like, if you, if you had to make sure you're not successful, what would you have to do?(5:17) You'd have to be inconsistent. (5:19) That's one of, you'd have to be unreliable. (5:22) You'd have to never adapt and you'd have to have no accountability.(5:26) Those are, I coach a company in Florida, team of seven. (5:32) And anonymously there's, there's one team member that's not as accountable and it's something's got to change. (5:44) You need adaptability, reliability, and accountability to be consistent.(5:49) You need consistency to be successful that you need consistency to be successful. (5:53) There's never been a championship team that was like effing off throughout the year.

Kevin Palmieri

(5:59) You know, one of the things you said today, this was behind the scenes, but you said a lot of people got successful riding a trend, like just trend hopping. (6:06) And I think that's the one time where like you get a boost from something often. (6:12) I think it, yeah, definitely does.(6:14) I had, I was having a conversation with somebody one time and they're like, yeah, my mentor, you know, he's really into real estate and he learned a ton and he's teaching me a bunch. (6:23) And he's like, but the thing is like when he got into real estate, it was like really easy. (6:26) It's like a really easy market.(6:27) And I don't feel like he knows that much about how to win when the market's not great. (6:31) And I said, well, that's not going to be a good mentor most likely because. (6:35) What percentage of people do you think are that?(6:37) Dude, more than I thought for sure. (6:42) I don't know. (6:42) I think everybody is to a degree.(6:45) Like we're on the podcast trend.

Alan Lazaros

(6:48) It's not. (6:49) But the podcast trend would have been 2017, 2018, 2019, that kind of thing. (6:58) As a matter of fact, 20, if I had to pick a time for podcasting, 2014.

Kevin Palmieri

(7:04) What's it get in?

Alan Lazaros

(7:05) Yeah.

Kevin Palmieri

(7:06) I see. (7:07) Yes. (7:07) YouTube 20.

Alan Lazaros

(7:08) If you got into YouTube at 2013, you fucking killed it without even being good. (7:15) Like, and again, you had to be consistent. (7:17) You had to be consistent, but maybe not even honestly.(7:20) Yeah, no, probably not. (7:21) And then Instagram are in, in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 on Instagram. (7:28) I know some people that were unbelievably successful on Instagram back then with fairly mediocre content.

Kevin Palmieri

(7:39) Well, there wasn't as much competition.

Alan Lazaros

(7:41) There's almost not. (7:42) Right. (7:42) I mean, that, that's the trend thing.(7:45) And then there's someone I'm thinking, two people I'm thinking of anonymously. (7:51) Got to keep it anonymous. (7:52) I got to, I don't want to, I don't want to be unkind or come off unkind.(7:56) I don't want to share anyone's dirty laundry. (8:00) These two people that I'm thinking of anonymously, both built multiple six figure businesses. (8:08) One of them built an almost million dollar business.(8:12) Both of these individuals are making less than six figures now. (8:16) Ah, one of them's making a little more than six figures now, but way less than they used to. (8:21) And I had a conversation with these individuals and I said, I know no one's ever really told you this.(8:27) And I know why, cause I don't want to say it either, but like you won cause I go through everyone's trajectory. (8:35) Like, when did you find your, when was your business founded? (8:37) What's your trajectory?(8:39) How much did you make this year? (8:40) This year? (8:40) This, I need the whole story.(8:41) Give me the numbers. (8:41) I'll have the story. (8:42) I don't need the story.(8:43) I need the numbers. (8:43) The numbers tell me everything I need to know. (8:46) And it's like, well, you started in 2003.(8:49) It's like, well, where'd you get all your leads? (8:51) Google. (8:53) I know.(8:54) I know because everyone and their mother needed copywriting back in 2003 and everyone and their mother needed a website back in 2003 and everyone and their mother didn't know that copywriting and website building was actually not that hard. (9:08) It was hard back then. (9:08) It's much easier now.(9:09) There's tools that make it much easier and everyone needed branding and the internet. (9:15) I mean, come on. (9:17) If it worked in 2003, that doesn't mean it's going to work now.(9:20) Okay. (9:21) Because people catch on. (9:24) You and I talked recently about some companies do branding and they charge 10 grand a month and all this kind of stuff.(9:32) And it's like, listen, that's over. (9:35) Unless you're the best on earth. (9:37) That's not going to keep happening.(9:39) These are trends and you have to adapt. (9:42) And that's why I talked to you so hardcore last episode about adaptability. (9:47) Dude, you and I have been pivoting a lot.(9:50) And it's interesting because we never trend hopped, but we did have a lot of deep, uh, challenging, painful discussions about the future. (10:02) Like you and I behind the scenes. (10:03) It's like, brother, I don't think we can do that and be successful longterm.(10:08) I can't. (10:09) And I've said this to Kevin many times in the past. (10:11) I can't build a billion dollar company out of that.(10:13) How many times have you heard me say, I can't build a billion dollar company out of that many, many, many, many, many. (10:18) And that's the hard conversations that need to be had. (10:20) If you want to be successful, whoever you are.(10:23) And both of those clients are pivoting now and that's great, but they're not used to not winning. (10:28) And I say, listen, I know you didn't have to lead Jen before. (10:31) I know you didn't have to prospect before.(10:33) I know you didn't have to sell before when the fish are jumping in the boat, you don't have to do shit. (10:38) But in the wintertime, you got to learn how to hunt and it's fucking brutal out there. (10:44) And if you can win in the winter, you're going to crush in the summer.

Kevin Palmieri

(10:48) I'm glad it was hard in the beginning. (10:50) The more I understand. (10:52) Now, again, in the beginning, I wouldn't have told you that.

Alan Lazaros

(10:56) 2022 was, uh, we got cocky.

Kevin Palmieri

(10:59) I think a little bit. (11:00) I, again, I go by you. (11:02) You are the, you're the thermometer.(11:05) I don't know. (11:06) I've never done this. (11:07) I don't know what to expect.(11:08) I don't know what's what. (11:09) For sure. (11:09) I don't know what's what.

Alan Lazaros

(11:10) Fish were jumping in the boat, man. (11:12) You got 19 clients in one quarter. (11:14) Yeah.(11:15) That's wild. (11:15) That's just you. (11:17) I probably got another 10, you know, that was during the crypto time.(11:22) It's like, I was, I was coaching an entire crypto company. (11:25) Then they went out of business. (11:28) Gone.

Kevin Palmieri

(11:29) We lost 12 clients, Kev. (11:30) I didn't buy my chimpanzee smoking a cigarette. (11:34) Luckily my, uh, my NFT, I can't, I can never remember.(11:38) All right. (11:39) Reliability, adaptability, accountability. (11:41) We think those are the three.

Alan Lazaros

(11:44) It's good stuff. (11:46) It's good stuff. (11:47) If you want to be consistent.(11:49) Okay. (11:49) Here, here it is. (11:50) If you want to be successful, you have to be consistent.(11:53) If you want to be consistent, you need to work on those three. (11:57) Everyone listening. (11:58) Find the one you suck at most for me.(12:01) Reliability is the one I suck at most.

Kevin Palmieri

(12:05) Okay.

Alan Lazaros

(12:06) And you with adaptability, you've had to become way more adaptable for sure. (12:10) You used to be like, your day would go off the rails if, if one meeting got changed. (12:15) I'm like, brother, it's going to happen all the time.

Kevin Palmieri

(12:18) It happens all the time.

Alan Lazaros

(12:19) Yeah.

Kevin Palmieri

(12:19) Happens all the time. (12:20) I forgot I had a meeting today. (12:22) Somebody messaged me.(12:23) I was like, oh yeah, shit. (12:23) Let me throw, I gotta throw that on the calendar. (12:25) I don't know.(12:25) I don't know why it didn't end up on the calendar. (12:28) Sorry, Heather. (12:29) Shout out to you.(12:29) Maybe we are getting caught.

Alan Lazaros

(12:30) If you're listening.

Kevin Palmieri

(12:31) No, it's just, it's just mayhem. (12:33) There's just so much going on. (12:35) Okay.(12:35) How do you build reliability? (12:37) How do you build adaptability? (12:38) I think accountability is kind of easy to build, right?(12:42) To build. (12:43) You just put yourself in a group of people. (12:45) That's not easy for people.(12:46) No, no. (12:47) That's your blind spot. (12:48) No, no.(12:48) Simple. (12:49) Oh, easy. (12:50) Not simple.(12:50) Whatever. (12:51) I'm saying, uh, you said it's easy to build. (12:54) You say simple to build tactically.(12:57) You, I'm not saying it's easy to actually do it. (13:00) I'm saying it's the, the answer is relatively simple. (13:02) You put yourself into a fucking group of people doing something similar to you that will hold you socially accountable.(13:06) I'm pretty sure all of them to build are simple. (13:09) How do you build a reliability time management? (13:21) I don't think so.(13:23) I do love our podcast. (13:25) I don't think so. (13:27) It's great.(13:28) I don't think so. (13:28) The only reason I don't think so is because you're really good at time management. (13:31) That's not the fucking bottle.(13:32) Thank you so much. (13:33) You're so welcome. (13:34) That's not the bottleneck for your reliability.(13:36) This is why it's messed up.

Alan Lazaros

(13:38) I'm not unreliable. (13:40) You know what I mean? (13:41) We're grading on a scale.(13:43) This is ridiculous. (13:44) Okay. (13:45) Fair.(13:45) Can that, I think it's our early 10 LHS. (13:49) Huh?

Kevin Palmieri

(13:49) Yeah. (13:50) You were early Allen hour. (13:51) I can count on turning over one hands.(13:54) How many times Allen has been earlier than me to something that was one of them turning over a new leaf, man. (13:59) Now I get it. (14:00) I love it.(14:01) I got to keep you on task here because we only have five minutes when I want to do a part three. (14:04) I want to make sure part two is good. (14:06) How do you build reliability?(14:10) I think it's prioritization. (14:13) Nice. (14:14) Right.(14:14) Cause like, yeah, that's good. (14:17) If I have, if I have, again, this is an example. (14:21) If I have a client that pays me $10,000 and then one that pays me 9,000, 8,000, 7,000, who do you think I'm going to be the most reliable to $10,000 client?(14:28) That's the way it has to, it's the way it has to work. (14:31) So I think it's time management and I think with priority time management in alignment with priority. (14:38) And I think there has to be a little fucking scarcity there.(14:41) Yeah. (14:41) I think there has to be a little scarce.

Alan Lazaros

(14:43) Yeah. (14:43) If you're not humble, you won't be reliable. (14:45) Yeah.(14:45) And that's what you were talking about with a little wing. (14:47) Yeah. (14:47) It shows a little bit of entitlement and arrogance.(14:50) And I don't disagree with that. (14:51) I mean, I, I really, like I said, I've gotten, I've fallen for that too, where it's like, well, you know, I am a little, they'll understand after all. (15:00) Yeah.

Kevin Palmieri

(15:00) No, I don't care. (15:02) They don't care. (15:02) Next is adaptability.

Alan Lazaros

(15:05) Yeah. (15:05) How do you build that? (15:07) Emotional regulation and emotional maturity.(15:11) And honestly, it's, it's real-time decision-making like strategy. (15:17) You have to re-strategize. (15:19) Emilia and I have this thing we call strategy sesh.(15:22) So we'll be coming home from the gym and it's like, okay, both of us have calls at X time. (15:28) We are fucked. (15:31) I need a strategy sesh, quick strategy sesh.(15:33) Let's get in front of the white board. (15:35) Boom, boom, boom. (15:35) We need to pivot some stuff.(15:36) We need to move some stuff. (15:37) That happened earlier. (15:37) We had to move the conscious couples podcast to Thursday, Thursday, today's Wednesday, Thursday.(15:43) I think the point is, is we are constantly doing that strategy sesh before we go see a property before we go see her family before we always strategy sesh five minutes re-strategy. (15:58) It's like a huddle. (15:59) Yeah.(16:00) So how do you become more adaptable? (16:03) You have to have a ridiculous ability to shift focus, re-strategize, and you have to get over failure. (16:12) Like let it go.(16:15) That game's over. (16:16) You failed. (16:17) You suck.(16:17) It's okay. (16:18) Move the fuck on. (16:19) Like that is really important.(16:21) If I held onto my past failures, I would be bludgeoned and incapable of being on this episode. (16:27) Nevermind any other episodes.

Kevin Palmieri

(16:29) When you're, when you're at like the gym, the gym's your morning thing. (16:33) Right. (16:33) And you're leaving and you're like, Oh, we are fucked.(16:36) Do you, does that stress you out? (16:40) Yeah, of course. (16:42) What kind of stress?(16:43) Not as much as you do. (16:44) Yeah. (16:44) I feel like, I don't know if I've ever seen you like fully, fully actually stressed out.

Alan Lazaros

(16:50) Uh, I, I think that, yeah, I'm, I'm, I live my life in constant frustration because of the prioritization and reprioritization. (17:00) Yeah, always. (17:01) But I don't think, I think I handle it probably fairly well.

Kevin Palmieri

(17:04) I don't like, Oh no, I think you handle it really well. (17:06) I don't know if I've like, you and I have done a lot of travel. (17:09) You just like mosey your way through the airport.(17:11) Like you're just, I don't know if I've ever seen you like run to get somewhere because you were going to be late. (17:18) I think you're just like, I have definitely run to a gate before.

Kevin Palmieri

(17:21) For sure.

Kevin Palmieri

(17:22) Emilia and I once, but yeah, no, it's not often. (17:25) You know why? (17:25) Because usually when I'm there, we're there early.(17:27) So it makes sense. (17:28) Right. (17:28) I only see what I see when I'm there.(17:30) Yeah.

Alan Lazaros

(17:30) I've run to a gate with Emilia.

Kevin Palmieri

(17:32) Yeah. (17:33) Okay. (17:33) Accountability.(17:34) How do you build that?

Alan Lazaros

(17:38) Peer group, public coach, coach, mentor, peer group, therapist, community. (17:47) Put something on the line. (17:48) You got to put something on and public accountability.(17:51) Like I thought about this. (17:53) A memory came up with nine years ago, my fitness show. (17:55) And it's like, I do miss the, like the necessity that came with that.(18:01) Cause it was, you are going to lose. (18:03) You're going to get stomped if you're not crushing every day. (18:05) And so I miss that necessity.(18:07) We, it's not like we don't have enough necessity. (18:08) We have, we have a lot, but not enough in fitness. (18:11) I know you want to do a photo shoot.(18:12) I don't want to. (18:14) So I'm not going to do it. (18:15) I might do my own.(18:16) I don't know. (18:16) We'll do it. (18:17) But the 10 pound in 10 week challenge is good.

Kevin Palmieri

(18:20) It's a good amount of necessity. (18:21) The problem is after the 10 weeks, the necessity stops, which we need something else.

Kevin Palmieri

(18:26) Yeah.

Alan Lazaros

(18:27) Yeah. (18:27) I agree. (18:28) We'll have to create something else.(18:29) I don't know what it will be, but the sleep challenge at evolve is helping me. (18:34) I have eight back-to-back nights of only one, only one night was not great. (18:40) This is the best I've ever slept in any eight day period.(18:43) That makes sense though.

Kevin Palmieri

(18:45) It makes sense. (18:46) I, you were talking about an aura challenge or something in the fitness kind of bit. (18:49) Was it that one or a different one?(18:54) I remember you, you mentioned it and I was like, I want to do it. (18:58) And I also am not, I'm not, I don't want to do it. (19:04) And the only reason I don't want to do it is because I haven't been sleeping well.(19:07) And with the travel and stuff, it's like, what is that going to do to me, to the business? (19:11) That's the thing. (19:11) What's that going to do to your priorities?(19:13) Yeah. (19:13) Is, am I going to say like, ah, this fucking message can wait till tomorrow. (19:16) I'm going to get my, my sunny eight hours.(19:18) I don't know how to adapt.

Alan Lazaros

(19:20) Well, one thing that I'll share with everyone listening, your lack of a debt, my lack of reliability has hurt our perception tremendously. (19:29) Hey, more than I could have imagined. (19:31) I'm sorry.(19:32) I'll work on it. (19:33) Do your adaptability has held us back so much. (19:35) Your lack of adaptability.(19:37) It's like, dude, cause you jumped to know, fuck that. (19:39) You know, Terran says you jumped to know it's because of your inability to adapt now.

Kevin Palmieri

(19:44) And sometimes because of your desire for reliability, which is, I commend, but it's, yeah, but that, I mean, that's a thing. (19:51) Like, I feel like I'm in a stage of unlearning old behaviors that don't, that now I naturally am better at. (19:59) So I don't have to jump right to them.(20:00) Same. (20:01) You know, it's like, it's, it's a whole freaking thing. (20:06) So public public is the way for accountability.(20:09) Put some skin in the game, put your back against the wall and have the opportunity for other people to see you at micro fail along the way and track and track track and make the tracking public.

Alan Lazaros

(20:21) Like everyone's putting their sleep scores in the evolve group. (20:23) Uh, it's out of the mud group is what it's called. (20:25) And everyone's putting their meals and weights and weight training pictures, progress picks in the fitness group.(20:32) So if you want more accountability, that's what we're here for. (20:36) I think that's everything. (20:38) Oh, before we go, sorry, listeners figure out which one you're good at, which one's decent and which one green, yellow, red, accountability, reliability, adaptability.(20:48) My green is adaptability. (20:50) My yellow is accountability. (20:52) My red is reliability.(20:53) I have to work on red Kev is you go green reliability.

Kevin Palmieri

(21:02) I don't know. (21:03) Yeah. (21:03) Red adapt.(21:04) Yeah. (21:04) Yellow accountability, red adaptability. (21:06) Yeah, definitely.(21:07) I don't know. (21:08) It's like, what do you mean? (21:09) Accountability though?(21:13) Um, I feel like it's not a, that's a hard one to verb, like to be accountable. (21:19) What does that mean? (21:19) I know what it means to be reliable.(21:20) I know what it means to be adaptable. (21:21) What does it mean to be accountable?

Alan Lazaros

(21:24) It means someone is holding you to something. (21:27) I think maybe your rebel doesn't like that or maybe it does. (21:30) I don't know.(21:31) No, I think for me, it's like, what does it mean to be in this case?

Kevin Palmieri

(21:34) We're talking about to yourself. (21:36) Yeah. (21:36) But we're not, not an accountability.(21:38) Accountability is we're talking about public. (21:40) I know, but like you don't need to hold other people accountable. (21:45) In this case, you need to hold yourself accountable or have the courage to put yourself in a space where other people are going to hold you accountable.(21:50) I feel like I'm really good at that. (21:53) Yeah. (21:54) Yeah.

Alan Lazaros

(21:54) Like I, I love two greens and are super red.

Kevin Palmieri

(21:58) Yeah. (21:58) Yeah. (21:58) So it averages out to yellow.

Alan Lazaros

(22:00) It doesn't matter how good you are at one. (22:02) You're terrible. (22:03) I think I'm probably green at accountability too.(22:05) I don't know. (22:05) I don't know. (22:06) Probably not.(22:07) What do you think? (22:08) So yes. (22:09) I don't know, man.(22:10) I feel like I drop.

Kevin Palmieri

(22:13) Yeah. (22:13) But like, here's the thing. (22:14) And we got to go.(22:15) Cause Alan's going to be on a podcast. (22:16) Speaking of reliable, I was going to be in a podcast at times. (22:20) I feel like we do talk ourselves down a little bit because we're using ourselves as an example.(22:24) So I want to give you a red, I want to give you a yellow. (22:26) I want to give you a green, but like, it doesn't mean I'm terrible at all of them. (22:29) Yeah, of course not.(22:30) Right. (22:31) But I want, I want to make sure that whether you're watching or listening, like there are certain things I'm I am the worst person you've ever met. (22:37) Maybe in your entire life, when it comes to creating systems, I don't get it.(22:40) I can't fucking do it. (22:42) It eludes me. (22:43) I can't figure it out.(22:44) I just can't, I can't figure it out. (22:46) But when it comes to like getting things started, I am the best at that. (22:52) Of course, I'm good at one.(22:54) I'm not good at the other one.

Alan Lazaros

(22:56) Yeah. (22:56) We've been mitigating our strengths and weaknesses for a long time. (23:00) I do think we do that all the time.(23:03) As a matter of fact, my red on reliability, I'm still pretty reliable. (23:06) Do we have to give that a goddamn disclaimer every time? (23:09) Probably.(23:09) I don't know. (23:10) I want to give it to us. (23:12) Okay.(23:12) That's not, that's, that's for, that's for you. (23:14) And I'm actually super reliable. (23:16) No, I, I can't with that.(23:17) I'm not as reliable as I need to be for my goals. (23:20) Fair. (23:20) Boom.(23:21) But it's not, it's not a red, not just not binge drinking on the weekends. (23:27) Not sure.

Kevin Palmieri

(23:27) Not the worst of all time. (23:29) Okay. (23:29) If you want accountability, two great ways, one next level fitness accountability group to coaching, reach out to Alan for coaching and then adaptability.(23:38) What can you do for adaptability?

(23:45) I don't know, whatever. (23:45) Get out of your comfort zone, do something weird.(23:47) You will grow from it. (23:48) As always. (23:49) We love you.(23:49) Appreciate you.
