In this episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros break down the power of self-awareness and the role that comparison plays in personal development. They discuss how standards shape motivation, why social media distorts our perception of “average,” and how to use comparison as a tool for growth rather than discouragement. Whether striving to improve health, wealth, or relationships, understanding your benchmarks can help you take action toward your potential.
