How Being A Hero Is Actually Hurting You (2053)

In today’s episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros uncover the quiet toll of always rushing in to save the day. Behind the hero’s mask, burnout often waits. They explore the four roles we all play — victim, villain, hero, and guide — and reveal how real strength lies not in rescuing, but in teaching others to rise. If your heart is tired from giving too much and receiving too little, this is your invitation to lead with wisdom, hold your peace, and become the guide you were always meant to be.
