EP292: From Rock Bottom to Unshakable Resilience: The Mindset Shifts That Fuel Holistic Self-Improvement with Kevin Palmieri

Share:

We put a lot of pressure on ourselves to figure out exactly what we're supposed to be doing. What if your purpose is more about who you're supposed to be than what you're supposed to be doing and the vehicle is what you're supposed to be doing?
Kevin Palmieri

Starting your entrepreneurial journey can feel overwhelming, especially in the early days. Today’s episode dives deep into the mindset shifts you need to start, grow, and thrive as a business owner and podcaster. Kevin Palmieri, host of Next Level University and Podcast Growth University, shares his story, valuable lessons, and insights on achieving success through perseverance, self-improvement, and building meaningful connections.

Kevin and Janine discuss the evolution of their businesses, from uncertain beginnings to impactful results. They also touch on the importance of mindset, consistency, and planting the seeds that lead to future success.

About Kevin Palmieri

Kevin is the CFO, Founder & Co-Host of Next Level University, a Global Top 100 Self-Improvement Podcast with more than 1,800 episodes and 1 million listens in over 170 countries.

Some people find rock bottom… he found out that rock bottom had a basement.

In his mid-20s… he had it all. He had a beautiful girlfriend, high-paying job, a sports car, his dream body… but he still ended up sitting on the edge of a bed debating suicide.

After his rock bottom moment, he went all in on holistic self-improvement. He was determined to overcome my anxiety, depression and to finally live the life he’s always dreamed of.

Years later, he now hosts a podcast that impacts hundreds of thousands of people in countries all over the world. At this stage, he’s helped grow the podcast into a multi-six-figure business, and he has recorded well over 1,650 episodes. He has also given hundreds of speeches, trainings and coaching calls with people all over the world.

The main thing that changed was HE. I focused on learning what he didn’t know (unlearning a lot too), and his life started to shift.

He loves talking about Consistency, Commitment, Habits, Mindset, Confidence, Fear, Relationships, Limiting Beliefs and everything in between. He believes in a heart-driven but NO BS approach to holistic self-improvement, and he looks forward to teaching even more people about what it really takes to get to the next level!
