What if the way you describe yourself is quietly limiting the person you are capable of becoming?
In today’s episode, Kevin and Alan explain how personality archetypes can build self-awareness without becoming a box you live inside. They discuss the 12 archetypes, including the warrior, creator, explorer, ruler, and sage, and why your strongest traits can shape the goals you pursue, the roles you choose, and the challenges you avoid.
Kevin and Alan share how to identify the traits you naturally lean toward, the ones you resist, and what both may reveal about your identity. You will also learn why long-term success in health, wealth, and love requires more than one dominant strength. Do not use this episode to name yourself. Use it to find the part of you that needs to be developed next.

Kevin Palmieri
(0:00) I am a firm believer that you can take like the personality tests and the assessments way, way, way too far and I think too many people unfortunately rely upon them to determine who they're supposed to be in the world. (0:12) That's not the goal in today's episode.
Alan Lazaros
(0:14) Yeah, Hexaco, all the Myers-Briggs, all these different personality tests are supposed to help you illuminate and learn about yourself. (0:22) It is not an exact science and you can definitely take it too far. (0:27) Welcome to Next Level University.
Kevin Palmieri
(0:30) I'm your host, Kevin Palmieri. (0:31) And I'm your co-host, Alan Lazaros. (0:34) At NLU, we believe in a heart-driven but no BS approach to holistic self-improvement for dream chasers.

Alan Lazaros
(1:03) Self-improvement in your pocket, every day, from anywhere, completely free. (1:10) Welcome to Next Level University.
Kevin Palmieri
(1:15) Next Level Nation today for episode number 2,502, the 12 archetypes and what they mean about you. (1:23) So this is, this was a homework assignment that Alan gave me that I have not done yet, but he, well, I'll let you do it. (1:29) I'll let you set the stage here.
Alan Lazaros
(1:31) All right. (1:31) So on the last episode, I told this story, but for those of you who didn't listen to that last episode, how dare you? (1:37) I'm joking.(1:38) Uh, when I was younger, drove to LA, going to work in show business, friends stayed out there. (1:47) I came home for family reasons, tough times for my family. (1:54) And then I went on my sort of corporate run for lack of better phrasing.(2:01) But my friend was still out there for five to seven years. (2:05) He came back and during the holidays, we would hang out. (2:09) And when we would hang out, he was taking acting classes.(2:11) And I was always fascinated. (2:12) I've always been fascinated with film, show business, talent management, agent manager, the whole nine. (2:19) I actually still coach an actor and it's, it's a whole fascinating industry.(2:23) But anyway, so one of the books that he came back with, I looked this up by the way, I'm pretty sure it's this book. (2:29) I'm not 10 out of 10. (2:30) Cause this was in my early twenties, but Carol S.(2:33) Pearson awakening the heroes within 12 archetypes to help us find ourselves and transform our world. (2:39) And essentially in my coaching, I help people understand themselves other than the world so they can make more effective decisions. (2:46) And this was a tool that I used when he came back and he was doing this acting work and sharing these archetypes with me.(2:54) He said, you're the warrior. (2:57) And the reason this has come up is because on the last episode, we talked about Kev being fearful of being disliked. (3:06) And we talked about how I don't like being disliked either, but the warrior archetype often is I'm extremely intense and far more than I usually show.(3:19) Cause I'm constantly throttling it up or down depending on what I think is appropriate. (3:23) And I use the joke of like, if you're playing professional sports and you're yelling at your teammates, like I think that's actually not only appropriate, but necessary at times. (3:34) But we think of Kevin and I make the joke of the Pee-wee football coach.(3:37) Who's like screaming in the kid's face. (3:40) It's like crying and it's a seven-year-old, right? (3:42) So, uh, I don't want to be that, but I also don't, there is something to be said for tough love.(3:50) And as a coach, I have to always throttle constructive and, and, and walk that line of what is constructive for somebody based on where they're at. (3:57) So that's how this came about. (3:59) And essentially I know that I'm the warrior.(4:02) I wanted Kevin to see these and figure out what he is. (4:05) And the jester jumped off, which is joy, humor, and spontaneity, particularly humor.
Kevin Palmieri
(4:10) I was going to say, I'm not, I might be the least spontaneous person you've met ever.
Alan Lazaros
(4:14) That's a fair assessment. (4:15) But I want to go through all of them and we all have all of them, but we all have a different syntax. (4:24) And to the point of the opening, I want to make a couple of things clear before we even do this.(4:32) Number one, this is, this is based on a scientific quote unquote, let me show you my research earlier. (4:44) There's an actual acronym of what it's called. (4:50) PMAI, which stands for Pearson Marr archetype indicator.(4:59) So they did create their own sort of personality test based on this. (5:02) But remember, this is a book that my friend brought home from an acting class in LA. (5:08) So take this all with a grain of salt.(5:10) I just love exploring ourself, others in the world. (5:13) So here we go. (5:14) All right.(5:15) Without further ado, there's the innocent, the orphan, which is in parentheses called the every man, the hero, which is the warrior. (5:25) There's the caregiver. (5:27) There's the explorer, also known as the seeker.(5:30) There's the rebel, also known as the outlaw. (5:32) There's the lover. (5:33) There's the creator.(5:34) There's the jester. (5:35) I already mentioned there's the sage, there's the magician and there's the ruler, which is king or queen in parentheses. (5:41) So in the show notes, we're going to put this, I'll forward it to the production team.(5:45) And the book again is Carol S. (5:47) Pearson, awakenings, awakening the heroes within. (5:51) And the point of this is to understand if you've read books or watched films, you resonate with all these different characters.(6:03) And I don't care if it's sci-fi or based on a true story or a documentary film, there's still all of these archetypes in our lives. (6:11) And it even goes even deeper where every family has these different sort of roles. (6:17) Without further ado, what I invite every listener to do, look at the show notes, check out these 12.(6:27) We all have all 12 because we're all human, but we have a couple big ones that I would say at least four really big ones that kind of run us.
Kevin Palmieri
(6:41) I really want to be like, I'm not the warrior for sure. (6:45) And that's sad. (6:46) Makes me sad a little bit.(6:47) I think I could be the warrior in the gym, but that's like a different certain places, but that is definitely not my natural agreed. (6:53) So, um, let me, let me open WhatsApp and then bring it over here so I can see you while I do it. (7:04) All right.(7:05) What are your top four? (7:05) What would you say your top four are?
Alan Lazaros
(7:08) So, uh, the warrior slash hero, I'm just going to call it warrior is number one for sure. (7:17) I would say number two is the magician. (7:20) So the warrior represents courage, discipline, and achievement.(7:24) I never understood why other people don't care more about achievement. (7:30) I never got it. (7:31) I still don't.(7:33) You ever meet someone who doesn't achieve anything and they don't care?
Kevin Palmieri
(7:36) Yeah, for sure.
Alan Lazaros
(7:36) It's like, how are you okay with yourself?
Kevin Palmieri
(7:39) I don't, I don't know. (7:41) I think sometimes it's maybe it's the story they tell themselves. (7:44) I don't, I don't know.(7:45) Maybe they don't have the work. (7:46) I mean, that might be part of it.
Alan Lazaros
(7:47) Or maybe that's a big piece. (7:48) I used to say this. (7:49) I used to say, uh, and I've told this story before when I, my biggest fear doing therapy five years ago now, I hope I don't lose my edge.(7:58) I think what I was trying to say is I don't want my warrior to go because I, I do see other people that don't have the warrior. (8:04) And I, I do just transparently, I don't want to say you're fucked. (8:09) Uh, I would say you're in some trouble though.(8:12) If you don't have tenacity, you're not going to achieve much. (8:18) And, and the reason why is because most things that are, that are hard to achieve, require like massive pain, suffering, failure by choice and like bludgeoning and tons of grit. (8:28) Warriors have a lot of grit.(8:30) You do have a warrior. (8:31) I've seen it. (8:32) It's in the gym.(8:33) I've seen you, uh, nearly die underneath the weight. (8:35) And I I'll never forget that moment because that I needed to see in order to work with you, dude, if I didn't see that, if I didn't see you on the ground after a set nearly dead, um, you weren't dead, but you were definitely risking blowing your shit out for sure. (8:50) I would not have worked with you because, because the truth is if you were timid, I know we would lose.(8:55) I don't want to go to war with someone with no scars. (8:58) I want someone who's ready to go into the fire with me. (9:01) So you do have a warrior, but it's definitely not your number one, whereas it's definitely my number one.(9:06) And I just hate it for a long time. (9:07) So number one is warrior. (9:09) Number two is magician transformation, vision, and possibility.(9:13) Number three is probably ruler, which is leadership, order, and responsibility, personal responsibility. (9:18) And I don't like King and queen. (9:20) I think that's dumb.(9:20) I don't even like ruler, but I definitely love leadership, order, and responsibility. (9:25) And then I would say, if I had to pick a fourth, which is one third of the 12, probably sage, which is wisdom, truth, and understanding. (9:39) Yeah.(9:40) That's what I would pick.
Kevin Palmieri
(9:42) Man. (9:43) I don't feel like I'm any of these. (9:45) I don't feel like I'm any of these.(9:47) You don't feel like you're any of them? (9:49) Almost at all. (9:50) No.(9:51) Like me, probably, honestly, I think my number one is it the explorer. (9:55) I'm looking at a different one from you. (9:57) Uh, here, let me, let me forward do this.(9:59) No, no, I have it. (10:00) I have it. (10:00) I'm sorry.(10:01) Sorry. (10:01) Sorry. (10:02) Yeah.(10:02) But the one I'm looking at gives you more like in depth of like fears, talents and stuff. (10:07) Can you look at the same one as me?
Alan Lazaros
(10:09) Yeah.
Kevin Palmieri
(10:09) This episode, please. (10:10) I'm on it. (10:10) Uh, explorer, I feel, but not the like adventure and discovery, the freedom to do what I want when I want.(10:17) Yeah. (10:18) Yeah. (10:18) That one calls to me for sure.(10:20) You're very freedom oriented for sure. (10:22) Super. (10:22) Then like the creator, not innovation.(10:26) That's not my jam, but imagination and self-expression. (10:29) Definitely. (10:30) And then like, dude, Jester for sure.(10:32) Jester's there. (10:33) Yeah. (10:33) Yeah.(10:34) I'm going to get there.
Alan Lazaros
(10:35) Okay. (10:35) I'm just trying to do number one. (10:39) I don't know, man.(10:40) I don't know about any more. (10:41) I think it used to be, I think it definitely used to be. (10:43) Yeah.(10:43) But that's by the way, some of these are protectors.
Kevin Palmieri
(10:46) So gesture might've been a sage, not the way you labeled it of like, uh, to me, I love wisdom. (10:56) I love truth. (10:58) And I love understanding not, but not necessarily in an intellectual.(11:01) I'm going to read every book. (11:02) It's more like I watched a video the other day on the scale of the universe. (11:08) If earth was a tennis ball, I will never look at anything the same.(11:12) Love it. (11:12) My good God. (11:14) Love it.(11:14) None of nothing matters. (11:15) None of it matters.
Alan Lazaros
(11:16) So let's do this. (11:19) There's implications to this. (11:21) That's really what it comes down to.(11:22) And I think if nothing else are your goals in alignment with what these are, because if I was the Jester and that was my number one joy, I would be the worst fucking CEO ever. (11:41) Like there's a, there's a chief officer and I'm not trying to offend anyone with this, but there's a chief officer, um, chief joy officer. (11:51) I think that's the dumbest shit ever.(11:53) I really do. (11:56) Now, why am I saying that? (11:57) I get it.(11:58) You know, you gotta have joy. (11:59) You know, Google has the ping pong tables and horseshit. (12:02) I think all that's silly.(12:04) Like between you and me, even I'm so grateful for people who reached out and said, congratulations on 2,500. (12:10) To me, I'm way more focused on work. (12:13) Like I, I want to just get back to work.(12:15) I don't want to celebrate. (12:16) I just want to get back to work. (12:17) Like great stars.(12:19) Let's keep going now. (12:21) But my point of this is if, if, if I was whichever one of these is joy, which one's joy? (12:27) Oh, the Jester.(12:28) If I was all about having fun. (12:30) Don't know. (12:30) Don't get me wrong.(12:31) At one time I said, I'm funny. (12:32) Kevin's like, well, there's different kinds of funny. (12:33) AKA you're not funny.(12:34) I can have fun and I can be funny and I love to laugh and you make me laugh all the time for sure. (12:41) But that's not why I'm there. (12:42) I'm not here for fun.(12:44) I could give a fuck about fun. (12:46) It doesn't mean I can't have fun, but that's not, I'm here to do something that's never been done. (12:53) I'm here to do all I can with all I have.(12:55) I'm here to fight the good fight. (12:57) Like I, and this will be the last piece of what I say. (13:00) I can tell when people aren't in the fight, they've given up on life and it pisses me off.(13:07) Get in the fight. (13:08) Fight for something. (13:10) Fight for something.(13:11) What are you just going to, Oh, pretty good. (13:13) Pretty good. (13:13) Like, what are you doing?(13:15) Fight for something. (13:16) The world needs you in the fight. (13:18) And I really believe that deeply.(13:20) And I think you're going to regret not being in the fight. (13:22) However, I also understand that I'm the warrior and this is how I used to describe it. (13:26) Some people have a little candle, other people have the sun.(13:29) And I was afraid when I went to therapy, I was going to end up the little candle. (13:32) I was so scared of that. (13:34) It got way bigger.(13:36) Healing made it way bigger. (13:38) And I was like, Oh no, I already was intense. (13:42) I thought I was going to heal.(13:44) I'm healing and it's, I'm even more tenacious. (13:48) So that's my thing. (13:50) But everyone needs to go and look at theirs and figure out there's huge implications to this.(13:54) Because if you have warrior goals and a, and a jester personality, you are screwed.
Kevin Palmieri
(14:00) Yeah. (14:02) I mean, I think that's like the big entrepreneurial trap is it's so, being an entrepreneur is so accessible. (14:09) Now it's more accessible than it's ever been, but like, it's not, if you're like the innocent, I think that's dangerous.(14:17) I think that's dangerous. (14:19) Had it, used to have it. (14:22) I think you can caregiver.(14:24) I think you can do it pretty well. (14:25) Explorer. (14:26) I think you can do it pretty well.(14:27) Rebel. (14:27) I think you can definitely do it really well. (14:29) You might end up toxic in the long run.(14:32) Lover. (14:35) You're probably in trouble. (14:37) And again, that's, this is blanket statement, but creator, I think you can do really well in this blanket statement.
Alan Lazaros
(14:43) You're, you're saying if you're at the helm and you don't have business partners.
Kevin Palmieri
(14:46) Yeah.
Alan Lazaros
(14:46) If you're just doing this, if you're doing it solo, cause ideally you'd have. (14:51) Between you, Christina and I, we have several of these very well in harmony.
Kevin Palmieri
(14:56) I also do think that for us specifically, it's a little bit different, I think, but like, I can definitely see the value of having to your point, like a jester somewhere in there. (15:09) Every movie has one, but even like a show has the comic relief character, even at a company. (15:15) I think it's, I do think it's valuable because I just don't like that.
Alan Lazaros
(15:18) It's called a chief joy officer. (15:20) It's just seems really childish to me.
Kevin Palmieri
(15:22) I don't know if I really fully understand enough. (15:26) Again, I've never been in corporate, so I don't know.
Alan Lazaros
(15:29) I don't know. (15:29) I think you need to take life very seriously. (15:32) And if you're a professional, you're having joy is great.(15:37) It can't be the fucking goal. (15:39) It's a dangerous goal. (15:40) It's a dangerous goal.(15:41) Yeah, it is. (15:42) It's a dangerous because imagine if that was our goal on this podcast, just to have fun.
Kevin Palmieri
(15:45) What is required to have joy is usually not joyous. (15:50) It is, that is the paradox. (15:52) What is required to be happy usually is not, does not make you happy in the moment.
Alan Lazaros
(15:56) Yeah.
Kevin Palmieri
(15:58) What is required to grow is usually very uncomfortable and you don't want to do it.
Alan Lazaros
(16:02) It's like a hard workout isn't joyous, but it will give you joy after, right?
Kevin Palmieri
(16:07) Hopefully.
Alan Lazaros
(16:08) Yeah. (16:08) What's your takeaway on this? (16:10) Because again, Kevin and I, I don't want anyone to take this too far and suddenly change their life based on some you know, mythical archetype from a book that I haven't personally read.(16:22) However, I think there's some good distinctions in here for sure.
Kevin Palmieri
(16:27) I, what is my take? (16:29) I don't know. (16:30) I'm always to your point, very cautious about like finding something and then it putting me in a container of who I am.(16:37) I've always been weird about that. (16:38) I've never taken any of the personality tests. (16:41) I'm not interested.(16:42) I don't want to do it. (16:43) I don't care. (16:43) Like I don't, I don't care.(16:45) I don't want to know what Enneagram, I just don't care. (16:47) I don't care. (16:48) Yeah.
Alan Lazaros
(16:48) Well, you're a yellow and I'm a red.
Kevin Palmieri
(16:50) It's like, yeah. (16:51) Okay.
Alan Lazaros
(16:52) Whatever. (16:52) There is insight for sure. (16:54) And I believe that I don't want to bash on something.
Kevin Palmieri
(16:56) No, no, I'm not. (16:57) I'm not minimizing that. (16:58) I firmly believe there's value in that.(17:00) I just don't want the value. (17:01) They're supplemental. (17:03) Yeah.(17:03) I don't want the value. (17:04) I think we can look at something like this and you can say there are certain things. (17:11) If there's anything that you're going down this list and it jumps off the page and you say, I never want to be that.(17:17) I would, I would look at what that means.
Alan Lazaros
(17:19) Yeah.
Kevin Palmieri
(17:19) Nice. (17:20) So if you see, if you see rebel outlaw and you're like, I never want to be that. (17:27) It's like, okay, well, what, what, what does that lead to?(17:29) Is that something from your childhood where you told you had to do certain things, certain things in a certain way you had to stay within the lines, but you know, I think that's good. (17:37) And then is there anything you're really attracted to? (17:40) Nice.(17:41) Is there anything you're really attracted to? (17:44) One that jumps off the page for me though, the orphan definitely jumps off the page. (17:48) Not the word, not the everyman part, but like not belonging, but humility and realism, brother.(17:54) I live in realism.
Alan Lazaros
(17:56) Well, that would make a lot of sense though.
Kevin Palmieri
(17:57) I'm afraid of being diluted.
Alan Lazaros
(18:00) Yeah.
Kevin Palmieri
(18:01) I don't want, I don't want to be diluted.

(18:06) I, the other thing that came up while we were talking is some people I actually think have all of them. (18:16) And I think they can be all of them. (18:17) And I think they can embody all of them.(18:19) Uh, there's a series called divergent. (18:23) It's a divergent and then it's allegiance and then it's something else. (18:28) Anyways, it's a trilogy.(18:29) I thought it was awesome. (18:30) Love it. (18:31) And I know it's a book series as well, but there's all these factions and she's divergent, meaning she doesn't fit in any one faction.(18:41) So she doesn't really belong because she's all of them. (18:44) I always liked that metaphor. (18:46) And I felt like, I felt like I could be any one of these.(18:50) Like it's very hard for me to order these. (18:53) If I had to order them, warrior would be first, but I resonate deeply with the rebel. (18:59) I resonate deeply with the magician.(19:01) I resonate deeply with the ruler. (19:02) I resonate deeply with the sage, like the lover for sure. (19:06) It's just not first.(19:07) So the other thing I want to say is some people feel like they're none of them. (19:11) Some people feel like they're all of them. (19:13) Uh, there's someone else I did this with who, who is all of them.(19:17) And I said to her, I said, the reason why you're having trouble choosing is because you're actually all of them. (19:22) And this is why people don't like you because there are some people out there that are better than you at everything for sure. (19:33) And a lot of times people don't like those people.(19:37) Uh, and, and there is someone out there who's probably better than you at all 12 of these. (19:42) And I think I'm thinking of someone I'll keep it anonymous because I don't want to go there, but I'm thinking of someone who is all of these for sure. (19:50) And she can be better than you at yours, not you necessarily, but like metaphorically you.(19:55) And, and I think that people see people like that and they think it's unfair. (20:02) Um, and, or they think you're full of shit. (20:04) Cause they think you're trying to be, they, they, they can't put you in any one box that you can't put me in any one box.(20:10) Like there's certain people you can't put in any one box. (20:15) And I never understood being one dimensional. (20:16) I can't do it.(20:18) I can't. (20:18) And that's why I actually thought I was funny. (20:20) And sometimes I am funny, but people can't see me as funny.
Kevin Palmieri
(20:23) I do think you are funny at times.
Alan Lazaros
(20:26) No, thank you.
Kevin Palmieri
(20:27) It was just the way that you would tell the jokes. (20:30) You would tell a joke and then you would, you would just like, you wouldn't, you got to hang in it. (20:34) You got to let people respond.(20:35) You would just give it away immediately.
Alan Lazaros
(20:39) I think when I say just joking. (20:41) Yeah. (20:42) Yeah.(20:42) It's like, the reason I do that is because people won't, people know that you're joking. (20:48) People need to hear that I'm joking. (20:50) Sometimes they'll actually think I'm serious.(20:51) I think less than out though. (20:53) Agreed.
Kevin Palmieri
(20:54) Yeah.
Alan Lazaros
(20:54) I think I've gotten better, but you would never have to say, Hey, just joking because people don't take you as seriously because you're a different archetype. (21:01) And so that's the whole thing. (21:03) I, I don't want to talk about me or Kevin anymore.(21:05) I seriously don't. (21:06) What I do want to do is, is there are implications to which ones of these you lean into question and yeah, good question.
Kevin Palmieri
(21:12) And again, based on your experience, what is the power position for lack of better phrasing?
Alan Lazaros
(21:18) It depends what you're going for. (21:20) What are you going for? (21:21) If you do health, wealth, and love, you need to be all of them and you need to work on all of them.(21:26) If you want to be successful externally, the warrior hands down. (21:31) So warrior external.
Kevin Palmieri
(21:33) Yeah. (21:34) Lover. (21:36) So health.(21:37) Okay. (21:38) Health warrior. (21:40) Yeah.(21:41) Wealth warrior, love, lover, lover. (21:45) Yep. (21:47) So fuck all the other ones.
Alan Lazaros
(21:48) Here's, here's what I have to say this optimistic, trusting, hopeful, belonging, humility, realism, courage, discipline, achievement, compassion, service, protection. (21:58) I could keep going. (22:00) These, and all of these will be in the show notes.(22:01) If you want to take a look, if you want to be healthy, wealthy, and in love, you need all of 12. (22:08) Yeah. (22:09) Now here's the thing.(22:12) It doesn't need meaning to be equal in all 12 and, but you can't be one dimensional and be healthy, wealthy, and in love. (22:18) And the statistics I've said it a thousand times, but I need to keep saying it. (22:21) If you're top 100 in health, top 100 in wealth, top 100 in love, top 1% in all three, that means you're one in a million.(22:30) And, and almost no one is healthy, wealthy, and in love. (22:35) There's that's very rare. (22:36) I mean, I, I walk the streets.(22:38) No, I leave every now and then. (22:40) And I go, we went to the beach this past weekend on Sunday and I, people watched, I mean, brother, there's not a lot of people that are healthy, wealthy, and in love. (22:47) That is not a statistical thing.(22:49) No, that is one in a million. (22:51) And when you find it, and if you get beneath the iceberg, you're going to find they're very good at a lot of these for sure. (22:57) And I coach, you know, for 11, 11 years, the people who are the most successful have a very, very strong warrior typically.
Kevin Palmieri
(23:08) So that's the challenge for you. (23:09) Go through this, look in the show notes, go through this, self-identify what needs work. (23:15) What are you already naturally good at?(23:17) Again, I think I love episodes like this and, and I would consider this a framework because it's just self-awareness. (23:23) You get to learn about yourself. (23:24) That's the best.(23:25) That's the best. (23:26) All right.
Alan Lazaros
(23:27) Anything in closing, figure out where you're strong, figure out where you're weak, figure out what you're drawn to, figure out what you are maybe repelled by and figure out what that means about you. (23:38) That's it, man.
Kevin Palmieri
(23:39) All right. (23:40) If you're looking for a coach that can help you figure this out, Alan is the guy. (23:44) How many coaching sessions do we have as of today?(23:47) 7,347. (23:49) It's a lot of, that's a lot of coaching. (23:50) My magic number.(23:51) It's a lot of hours and every single one of those is an hour minimum, minimum. (23:57) So that's more, it's more hours than that. (23:59) A lot more than 7,000 hours.
Alan Lazaros
(24:01) That's for sure.
Kevin Palmieri
(24:02) I can tell you that as the person who's usually scheduled to record after those coaching calls.
Alan Lazaros
(24:08) Over-deliver baby. (24:08) Over-deliver.
Kevin Palmieri
(24:09) Promise, over-deliver. (24:11) Not under-promise and over-deliver. (24:13) Fucking promise and over-deliver.(24:15) Nice. (24:15) And then next level fitness accountability group.
