Hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros challenge why so many people work hard yet fail to see real progress in self-improvement. Discipline is not the problem. Consistency is not the problem. The real issue shows up in how decisions are made when no one is watching.

This episode cuts through surface-level personal development and focuses on the thinking patterns that quietly determine long-term outcomes. If you care about making better decisions, building consistency that lasts, and growing with intention instead of urgency, this conversation will sharpen how you approach self-improvement.

Listen closely. Then ask yourself if your daily choices are actually taking you where you say you want to go.
