We're adding some short episodes to help you start your week taking action towards your next success!

Buzzsprout sent me my 2025 podcast recap—31 episodes, 1,336 minutes, listeners in 47 countries and 376 cities, with 2,081 audio downloads. The numbers are fun… and they don’t tell the real story.

In this short solo episode, I share how I committed to an internet radio show in late 2024—invested, planned, lined up 13 guests—and then a business sale changed the trajectory. The platform shifted, the “network” restarted from zero, and I had to decide what to do next. That detour became the reason Your Next Success exists as a podcast today.

Reflection questions:

• What “didn’t work out” but created space for something better-aligned to emerge?
• If you treated the reroute as information, what is it telling you?
• What is one next right thing you can do in the next 24 hours that restores momentum?

If you’re in a reroute and want clarity on your next move, book a call with me at nextsuccesscareers.com. If this episode helped you, follow/subscribe and share it with someone who needs it.

What happens when your life looks incredibly successful on paper, but inside, something feels off?

In this episode, Dr. Caroline Sangal talks with Alan Lazaros, Founder and CEO of Next Level University, a global top 100 podcast with more than 2,200 episodes. Alan opens up about the patterns that shaped him as a young high achiever, the instability that drove his early ambition, and the wake-up call that shifted everything.

We explore:

• How early loss and upheaval shaped his drive
• The quiet exhaustion of being a “chameleon” achiever
• The head-on collision that became his turning point
• The three major phases of his journey
• How he now structures his days around clarity and purpose

If you’re a high achiever who looks successful but feels misaligned, this episode offers language, perspective, and hope for your next chapter.

What if the things you do “just for fun” are actually clues to your calling?

In this episode of Your Next Success, Dr. Caroline Sangal talks with Adam Torres, Co-Founder of Mission Matters and host of the Mission Matters series of shows, ranked in the top 2.5% of podcasts worldwide.

Adam grew up in southwest Detroit, where survival and possibility lived side by side. As a kid, he turned hobbies into small businesses: selling comic books, keeping action figures sealed as collectibles, and airbrushing Wu-Tang sweatshirts for classmates. Later, he built a successful career in financial services, eventually managing relationships for more than 400 families with a cumulative net worth over $500 million.

Then a flooded office, a pile of ruined certificates, and a persistent inner nudge led him to walk away from finance and step fully into media. Today, Mission Matters is a media, branding, and book publishing agency with a catalogue of more than 100,000 pieces of content and over 6,000 interviews recorded.

In this conversation, we explore:

• How Adam’s childhood in Detroit formed his relationship with money, risk, and responsibility
• The recurring pattern where “this started as fun” turns into real revenue and impact
• The night his licenses and certificates were destroyed and why he saw it as confirmation
• How Mission Matters grew from a podcast into publishing, PR, and events by simply saying “yes” to what people asked for

If you’re a high achiever who senses there is more in you than your current title, this episode offers encouragement, perspective, and a practical example of what it looks like to build a mission from the ground up.
