Kevin Palmeri, is an entrepreneur and podcaster from Next Level University. With more than 800 episodes so far, Kevin is dedicated to overcoming limitations, and feels he has a responsibility to be authentic and vulnerable on his platform.\xa0
At 25, Kevin had the \u2018perfect life\u2019: a beautiful girlfriend, a sports car, a high-paying job. But when his girlfriend left him, Kevin realized he had spent 25 years working on his wallet, and not himself. He started to change, but leaned too far into his financial goal of making six-figures. By the time he reached his goal, he felt no different.\xa0
Kevin describes one morning before work when he realized how low he was. He struggled with suicidal thoughts, including doubts about his podcast, which was only a passion project at the time. Upon calling a friend, his later co-host and business partner, Kevn realized it was time to change his environment. He traded his current problems for better ones by diving into his new business. \u201cHurdles never go away, you just get better at jumping over them,\u201d Kevin says.\xa0
Kevin\u2019s business helps entrepreneurs who don\u2019t have the time to run an entire show make their own podcasts. He has a lot of valuable advice for newcomers, but emphasizes consistency and resilience. Be in it for the long run, he tells listeners, and do something that you would do for free.\xa0
Kevin believes resilience begins with your identity. Everyone is conditioned to believe a certain narrative, and Kevin\u2019s advice is to search within yourself and ask questions that challenge your conditioning. \u201cWhere you are now is not where you are forever,\u201d Kevin says, \u201cunless you decide to be.\u201d Resilience is built by starting small, and continuing to show up.\xa0
While meditation and going to the gym help keep Kevin motivated, he says that motivation isn\u2019t everything. If he only did the work when he was feeling motivated, his business would have gone nowhere. Kevin prioritizes showing up even when it\u2019s hard. He does this by asking himself if he still wants what he did the day he started, and if the answer is yes, he plows ahead.\xa0
Kevin hopes that listeners will realize that the person they are today can change completely. In entrepreneurship, Kevin learned a lot about business, but learned the most about himself. \u201cYour reality becomes the parts of your imagination that you hold onto the longest,\u201d Kevin says, sharing a favorite quote.\xa0
Listen in to hear Kevin\u2019s advice for succeeding in business, his favorite resources for entrepreneurship and spirituality, and how relationships affect our success.\xa0
