What if the real reward isn’t the goal, but who you become chasing it? In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros get real about the invisible growth that comes from showing up consistently. From embarrassing early episodes to coaching breakthroughs and hard-won lessons, they unpack how podcasting and personal development shape not just skills, but identity. If you’ve ever doubted whether your effort is paying off, this episode is the reminder you need.
