Hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros confront a simple but uncomfortable reality most people never question the thinking that drives their behavior. They break down how intentional questions sharpen self-awareness, shape daily decision-making, and determine whether personal growth is sustainable or quietly stalled. Built on years of coaching experience and thousands of real conversations, this episode points toward deeper ownership, stronger identity, and long-term fulfillment.

There is no performance here and no surface-level motivation, only practical personal development insight for people who are serious about growth, clarity, and consistency. Do not rush past this one. Let it slow you down enough to change how you think.
