Think success comes easy? Think again. In this Freestyle Friday episode, Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros share their personal experiences and insights on returning to basics, especially when life and business feel overwhelming. They discuss the phases of growth and consolidation, the need sometimes to slow down to focus on quality, and the significance of stubbornness and consistency in achieving long-term success. They also explore how social media and societal expectations can create a distorted view of success, reminding us that the behind-the-scenes work is often what truly counts.
