Episode Details

In today’s episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros unpack what happens when emotion takes the lead in places where logic should be setting the direction. Drawing on their own experiences with fitness, finances, goal-setting, and years of coaching people through uncertainty, they break down why self-awareness alone is not enough. You also need the ability to read your emotions accurately and respond in a way that supports your long-term goals.

They explore rational thinking, emotional regulation, identity, performance, and the tension between short-term comfort and long-term results. If you have ever doubted your progress, questioned your instincts, or let a feeling overrule what the data was telling you, this episode will help you think more clearly and act with greater intention.
