In this episode, Alan Lazaros shares his inspirational journey from overcoming early life adversities to finding fulfillment and success. He recounts his childhood marked by the loss of his biological father, a turbulent relationship with his stepfather, and financial struggles. Alan emphasizes the shift from external validation through achievements to internal fulfillment through personal development. He discusses his career progress from computer engineering to founding Next Level University, which focuses on helping others achieve balanced success in health, wealth, and love.\nAlan highlights therapy's role and his relationship with his partner, Amelia, in transforming his life. The conversation touches on integrating the shadow self, the hero\u2019s journey, and the importance of self-improvement and humility.\n\nAt age 2, Alan's father passed away in a car accident. At age 26, after getting into a nearly fatal car accident, Alan questioned everything he was doing in life. He questioned who he was and the choices he was making. He was at an all-time low. Filled with regret, he searched for answers and found two of the brightest lights he had ever seen.\nThe first bright light was Bronnie Ware's book \u201cThe Top 5 Regrets of the Dying,\u201d and the second was Tony Robbins's TED Talk. These resources helped him find his way and guided him between going ALL IN on self-improvement and designing a life of meaning and purpose.\nOn this self-improvement journey, he learned to believe in a heart-driven but no-BS approach to inspiring, motivating, and educating others on what it really takes to reach the Next Level.\nToday, he proudly says his mission is to help others design fulfilling lives, maximize their unique potential, and build aligned businesses they love on their terms. He has a powerful combination of technical expertise and business acumen, specializing in Peak Performance, Productivity, Organizational Design, and Individual, Team, and Business Optimization.\n\nAlan leads a global team at NLU, has given hundreds of trainings worldwide, and has happily completed thousands of one-on-one coaching calls with clients.\n\nFind Alan on nextleveluniverse.com\n\nTimestamps:\n\n03:20\xa0Introduction and Guest Welcome\n04:18\xa0Early Life and Family Background\n05:16\xa0Adversity and Transformation\n09:08\xa0Academic and Professional Journey\n12:32\xa0Quarter-Life Crisis and Personal Growth\n15:42\xa0Reflections on Success and Fulfillment\n20:02\xa0Dealing with Abandonment and Personal Struggles\n28:16\xa0The Role of Adversity and Self-Belief\n31:54\xa0Embracing Self-Worth and Setting Boundaries\n32:19\xa0The Hero's Journey: From Victim to Guide\n34:55\xa0Turning Pain into Purpose: The Next Level Hope Foundation\n37:16\xa0Life's Adversities and Finding Meaning\n42:24\xa0The Importance of Inner Work and Therapy\n49:54\xa0Balancing Health, Wealth, and Love\n56:07\xa0Final Reflections and Parting Advice\n\nSponsors of the Podcast:\n\nBetterHelp: \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060https://betterhelp.com/ez10\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\xa0for 10% off your first month of therapy\n\nWeShape: https://weshape.postaffiliatepro.com/scripts/dcfogwyuk?a_aid=FurkhanDandia&a_bid=d7508fa8 for 35% all plans.\n\nAura: https://aura.com/ez10 for a free two-week trial\n\nPlunge: https://plunge.com/ez\n\nMint Mobile: \u2060https://trymintmobile.com/ez10\u2060 for 15$ for an unlimited cell phone plan\n\nWe Are Wild for 25% off your first order: \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060https://zen.ai/EZ23\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\n\n\n\nOr find Furkhan's Book, Pursuit of Self Love: 30 Uplifting Messages and Reflections.
