The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul AlexWelcome to the LevelUp podcast. I'm your host, Paul Alex. I went from being a cop to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day. I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals. Let's win together. Remember, I have your six. Get ready to LevelUp right now. What's up, everybody? Welcome back to LevelUp podcast. I'm Paul Alex. Let's talk about the silent killer of progression, ego. Look, when I first started making money, I I thought that I had it all figured out. Then I stopped listening, I stopped learning, and growth flatlined. Ego whispers, you're good. Humility reminds you, you can be better. If you're clocking into work thinking you're the smartest in the room, you already stopped growing. The strongest people I know don't flex. They actually listen. They take notes. They ask for feedback, even when it stinks. That's what real confidence looks like. Ego builds walls. Humidity builds doors. Which one are you building right now? Look, here's a challenge that I want you to do today. I want you to write down one area in your life where you've stopped taking advice.
Find someone better than you in that area and ask them for help. No pride, just curiosity. That's how you shift from doubt to drive, one move at a time. So no matter where you're at in your journey, guys, remember this, keep leveling up. Thanks for listening up to the LevelUp podcast.

In this episode of The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex, we dig into one of the biggest roadblocks to success—ego. It’s the silent killer of growth that blinds you from the lessons and mentors that could take you to the next level.
Paul shares how his early wins in business almost cost him everything when pride got in the way. The moment he stopped learning and listening, growth stopped too. But when he embraced humility, everything changed—his mindset, his leadership, and his results.
🔑 Key takeaways:
Ego says “I’m good.” Humility says “I can be better.”
The smartest people in the room are usually the ones asking the most questions.
Ego builds walls. Humility builds doors.
Growth begins the moment you admit you don’t know it all.
Real confidence comes from staying teachable.
💡 Action Step:
Write down one area in your life where you’ve stopped taking advice. Then, find someone who’s ahead of you in that area and ask them for guidance—no pride, just curiosity.
🎧 Tune in now to learn how dropping your ego can skyrocket your business and personal growth.
