When ambition meets love, truth decides who stays. In today’s episode, Kevin and Alan break down what every high performer eventually learns the hard way. Success changes how you love and who can handle your drive. From “goals-first vs. relationships-first” dynamics to the real meaning of being a high-value partner, this conversation hits deep, honest, and unfiltered. Whether you’re building an empire or building a life together, this one will make you rethink what partnership truly means when purpose takes the wheel.
