The Life Shift

Alan Lazaros on Rebuilding His Life After a Near-Fatal Car Crash


Listen Later

What happens when everything you’ve built feels like it’s built on the wrong foundation?

Alan Lazaros was chasing all the right things on paper. The degrees. The job. The money. But a head-on car accident at 26, eerily similar to the one that killed his father when Alan was just 2, brought it all to a crashing halt. In that moment, he came face to face with who he really was, not just who he wanted the world to see.

We talk about:

  • How high achievement can mask low self-worth
  • Why post-traumatic growth is just as real as post-traumatic stress
  • Rebuilding identity on purpose, not performance
  • This episode is a reminder that your potential isn’t about proving anything. It’s about honoring what’s already inside.

    At age 2, Alan Lazaros lost his father in a car accident. At 26, after surviving a nearly fatal crash of his own, Alan questioned everything. His career. His relationships. His identity. That wake-up call led him to walk away from Corporate America and start over with intention. Now the CEO and co-host of Next Level University, a global top 100 podcast with over 2,000 episodes across 170 countries, Alan helps others transform their lives in the areas of health, wealth, love, and personal growth. His work is grounded in discipline, data, and deep belief in human potential.
