In this no-fluff episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros reveal why the chip on your shoulder isn’t a flaw; it’s your unfair advantage. They get brutally honest about pain tolerance, self-belief, and what it really takes to build something great when comfort calls your name. If you’ve ever been labeled “too much” or “too driven,” this episode will remind you why that’s exactly your power. Own your edge, and turn your chip into unstoppable momentum.
