You’re trying to achieve personal growth, but you keep getting distracted by social media, your friends, family, work, a deadline you must meet. All of them are important, yes. But which of them keeps you in alignment with your core values? This podcast is all about growth and core values, so tune in and let Kevin and Alan help you understand and get clear on what yours is.

In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk with the retired mixed martial artist Kenny Florian about his fighting in the UFC and how it changed his life. He also shared the lessons he learned from his life experiences, his fights, his relationship with discipline, his near-death experience, and everything in between. You are surely going to be inspired so make sure you tune in.

Kenny’s athletic roots are in soccer, where he would play at Boston College. Though soccer was his first love, he eventually found himself in a gym training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). This transition from soccer to BJJ, and mixed martial arts as a whole, transformed his life.

Kenny received his BJJ Blackbelt in 5 years from Roberto Maia. After winning multiple BJJ and grappling tournaments, he went on to compete against some of the best fighters in the emerging sport of MMA.

His gas tank never approached Empty. Kenny's footwork was as remarkable as his razor elbows. These skills, Florian says, can be attributed to his time playing soccer. Though he was fighting above his best weight and pushing thirty years old, Florian performed exceptionally well.

In 2021, Kenny was named as a color commentator for the Professional Fighters League, which is the first MMA organization in which individual athletes compete in a regular season, post-season and championship. The PFL is broadcast in 160 countries.

Kenny's analytical skills are also showcased on Discovery's highly rated BattleBots series. In addition, he can be heard on the Anik & Florian weekly podcast, which covers the latest happenings in the MMA world. He was featured in the tv series "Kingdom” and had a supporting role in the movie "Embattled."

Every goal, every dream, everything started as an imagination. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about how one thing may start as your imagination, but through hard work and dedication, that dream may turn into a reality. So when you have something you’d like to become or to have, hold on to that image and work your way to getting it. People may hold you back and say it’s impossible; just remember that that’s what they said about airplanes once upon a time.

A blind spot is a subject or area in which someone's ability to understand is weak or lacking. We all have blind spots, but some proactively try and discover theirs, while others would rather not know in fear of getting hurt. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about blind spots and the importance of identifying and understanding yours. Knowing what your blind spot is doesn’t only help you have a deeper understanding of yourself; it also facilitates personal growth.

“Knowledge is not power. Applied knowledge is power.” - Alan Lazaros

Walk the talk. It means putting your words into action—showing that you mean what you say by actively doing it yourself. But everyone has failed to do that at least once in their life. In another call to action episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros remind you once again to get your butt off where you’re sitting and start doing what you said you would a couple of months ago! Because you’ll never have achievement unless there’s embodiment.
