In this episode of Negotiation Secrets, I sat down with Dr. Lambros Lazopoulos for a deeply honest conversation about negotiating with life, identity, and purpose. Trained as a medical doctor, Dr. Lambros made the bold decision to step away from a secure and respected path to build a creative education business that now serves tens of thousands of students worldwide. This conversation goes beyond career pivots it’s about self-awareness, courage, and choosing alignment over convention. Dr. Lambros shares how medicine shaped his mindset, why freedom became his highest value, and how he negotiated with himself, his family, and societal expectations to design a life on his own terms.

In this episode, we discuss: 🎙️💡

• What it really means to negotiate with yourself •

Why security isn’t always safety

• The hidden lessons medical training teaches beyond medicine

• How creativity can become a viable, scalable business

• Letting go of identity without losing self-worth

• Freedom, leverage, and the power of content creation

• Why alignment matters more than external validation

• Designing a life that supports who you truly are

This episode is packed with real, unfiltered insights for professionals, creatives, entrepreneurs, and anyone questioning the path they’re “supposed” to follow.
