About this episode
Ego does not always protect your future. Sometimes it protects the version of you that refuses to change. In this episode of Next Level University, Kevin and Alan break down how ego, shame, guilt, and regret shape personal growth, self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and long-term behavior change.
They challenge the popular “no regrets” mindset and explain why the emotions people avoid are often the same emotions that create discipline, humility, accountability, and transformation. Through real examples from coaching, finances, fitness, relationships, and past mistakes, Kevin and Alan show how growth starts when you stop defending your old choices and start auditing them honestly.
