What if the reason you’re stuck… is you? In this episode, Kevin and Alan explore the hard but liberating truth: real growth begins with radical responsibility. Through stories of broken relationships and business lessons learned the hard way, they reveal how facing the mirror, not pointing fingers, was the key to their next level. If you're ready to trade blame for breakthrough, this conversation is for you.
