In his mid-20s, Kevin Palmieri had everything society told him would make him happy—a beautiful girlfriend, high-paying job, sports car, and his dream body. Yet he found himself sitting on the edge of a bed, debating suicide. “Some people find rock bottom,” Kevin says. “I found out that rock bottom had a basement.”
In this raw and transformative conversation, Kevin shares how crushing expectations and external markers of success nearly cost him his life. After his rock bottom moment, he went all-in on holistic self-improvement, determined to overcome anxiety and depression and finally live the life he’d always dreamed of.
Today, Kevin is the founder and co-host of Next Level University, a Global Top 100 self-improvement podcast with over 2,100 episodes reaching more than 1 million people in 180+ countries. He’s built a seven-figure business and has given hundreds of speeches and coaching sessions worldwide.
We discuss:
- The dangerous gap between external success and internal fulfillment
- How crushing expectations can lead to suicidal ideation
- The holistic approach that saved his life and transformed his future
- What it really takes to build consistency, overcome limiting beliefs, and get to the next level
Kevin believes in a heart-driven but no BS approach to self-improvement. His story is proof that rock bottom can become the foundation for an extraordinary life.
