In today’s episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros break down why life gets harder when you misunderstand your gift. Too many people ignore what comes naturally to them and chase goals built around borrowed strengths. That disconnect leads to frustration, wasted energy, and results that never fully line up.

Drawing from their own journey and years of coaching, they unpack the difference between gift, developed skill, and self-awareness. This episode will help you think more clearly about where you have real leverage and how to build your future with more accuracy, discipline, and intention.
