In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros explore a surprising truth: clarity can sometimes add pressure instead of relief. When your goals are clear, the pressure to meet them perfectly can feel overwhelming. Kevin and Alan share personal stories and offer advice on managing life’s most important priorities—what they call “glass ball” tasks that can’t be dropped without enormous consequences. Join them for an honest conversation about balancing ambition with self-care, and learn simple, practical tips to stay focused and avoid burnout.
