For this episode I'm joined by therapist turned declutter coach, Elisa Lindstrom, who is here to talk about her passion in helping people sort through their 'stuff' when other methods haven’t worked.

Welcome to The Best You – Interview Series, where I engage in conversations with a variety of interesting people!

For this episode I'm joined by CEO of the Next Level University, Alan Lazaros, who is here to discuss his life journey that led him to wards personal growth, business, and entrepreneurship. 

In his mid-20’s, Alan was involved in a life-changing accident that ultimately had him questioning everything he was doing in his like and by his own admission was at an all-time low.

Filled with regret, he searched for answers and found two of the brightest lights he had ever seen:

1. A book by Bronnie Ware entitled, “The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying,” 
2. A Ted Talk by Tony Robbins

Both of these resources helped him find his way and guided him to make the choice of going ALL IN on self-improvement to design a life of meaning and purpose.

On his self-improvement journey, I have learned I believe in a heart-driven but NO BS approach to inspiring, motivating, and educating others on what it REALLY takes to get to the Next Level. Now, this might sound familiar to you as I also had Alan’s friend and business partner, Kevin Palmieri on the show for Episode 5.

Today, Alan is proud to say it is his mission to help others create a life full of both success and fulfillment.
