Episode # 562: Alan Lazaros

Alan Lazaros is the Founder and CEO of Next Level University, a global personal development company and Top 100 podcast dedicated to helping individuals reach their full potential in health, wealth, and love.

His journey into personal growth was shaped by profound life experiences. At just two years old, Alan lost his birth father in a tragic car accident. Then, at age 26, after surviving a nearly fatal car accident of his own, he was forced to confront a life-changing question: despite achieving what appeared to be success from the outside, was he truly fulfilled on the inside?

Having followed the traditional path toward what many consider the American Dream—earning undergraduate and graduate degrees and building a successful career in corporate America—Alan discovered that external achievement alone could not provide lasting fulfillment. This realization launched a relentless pursuit of self-improvement, personal development, and human potential.

Today, Alan leads a global team of 23 professionals and has built Next Level University into a thriving seven-figure business with a worldwide impact. Through more than 2,300 podcast episodes and over one million listens across 180+ countries, he has inspired audiences around the globe to pursue greater purpose, performance, and personal growth.

With more than 12,000 hours of coaching, training, speaking, and podcasting experience, Alan has spent over a decade helping individuals and organizations unlock higher levels of success. His message is rooted in a powerful belief: people are capable of far more than they realize, and with the right mindset, habits, and guidance, they can achieve extraordinary results over the long term.

Alan’s mission is simple yet transformative: to help others elevate every area of their lives and reach their own unique next level.
