Most people chase quick wins and call it success. But what if the real breakthroughs come from the work that doesn’t pay off right away? In this episode, Kevin and Alan reveal the truth about direct vs. indirect results and why the biggest gains often come from the habits, relationships, and decisions no one sees.

It’s about mastery. And it will force you to rethink how you measure progress, effort, and success itself. If you want surface-level hacks, skip this. If you want the truth about how success actually works, press play and stay uncomfortable. Learn more about: 📚 Think deeper, grow faster.
