Have you ever felt like you're too much or not enough? I sit down with Alan Lazaros, CEO of Next Level University, to explore the journey of self-acceptance and personal growth. Alan's story is one of resilience and transformation. From losing his father at age two to navigating a tumultuous childhood, he shares how adversity shaped his drive for success and work ethic. But success came at a cost - the fear of being seen for who he truly is.

Alan's insights challenge us to look inward, become self-aware and become comfortable with all aspects of ourselves - the good, the bad, and the extraordinary. His message is clear: true fulfillment comes from owning who you are and improving from a place of self-acceptance. If you struggle with self-doubt, impostor syndrome or the fear of standing out, then listen to what Alan shares in this episode and decide that it's time to step into your authentic power and create the life you truly desire.
