Commit to the timeline, not just the dream. In this honest and thought-provoking episode, Kevin and Alan explain why success so often fails to show up, and it’s not because of talent. It’s because most people never set a timeline. They share hard-won lessons from building their podcast and business, the power of long-term thinking, and why fake confidence isn’t the same as real belief. If you’ve ever felt stuck, discouraged, or unsure how long to keep pushing, this episode is your roadmap for staying in the game long enough to actually win.
