Leadership isn’t hard ... It’s brutal.
In this episode of Second Life Leader, I sit down with Alan Lazaros—CEO of Next Level University, 10,000+ hours of coaching, 2,000+ podcast episodes—and we tear the mask off what real leadership demands.
We talk:
The brutal reality of scaling too fast (and crashing harder)
The secret poison of B players who think they’re A’s
Why obsession is necessary—and entitlement is lethal
How to lead without authority (the only real kind)
Why "building the self" is always the first step
And how leadership is both a science and an art
Alan shares the moment a near-fatal car crash shattered his illusion of success—and forced him to play the game from the inside out.
If you’ve ever felt the pull to lead, rebuild, or rise…
This is the one to listen to.

🎧 Second Life Leader is for the rebuilders, warriors, and sovereigns who lead from principle, not permission.
