Focus On Talents: Finding Purpose & Self-Improvement - Kevin Palmieri's Journey to Next Level Success





Navigating the Pathways to Success with Kevin Palmieri


In the latest episode of Pathways with Amber Stitt, we had the privilege of speaking with Kevin Palmieri, the founder and co-host of the Next Level University podcast. Kevin's journey from a discontented employee to a thriving entrepreneur and podcaster offers profound insights that can inspire anyone aiming to find their pathway to success.


The Birth of "Next Level University"


Kevin Palmieri's story began like many others: a well-paying job that failed to bring genuine happiness. In 2017, Kevin made six figures but found himself battling with severe discontentment and even suicidal ideations. His turning point came when he realized that achieving financial success didn't equate to inner happiness. This epiphany led to the creation of "Next Level University," which was birthed from his initial creation: "The Hyper-Conscious Podcast."


Kevin's aim was to help others change the way they think, act, and live. Fast forward to today, both Kevin and his podcast's audience have grown exponentially. Kevin's podcast now has global listeners and his roster includes 57 other podcasts that Kevin and his team diligently support with podcast production and social media services.


The Power of Consistency


One key element that stands out from Kevin's journey is his unwavering consistency. Inspired by his bodybuilding background, Kevin made a pact to never miss an episode. This isn't just a promise to himself; it's a commitment to his audience. Kevin and his business partner have built a brand where reliability is paramount, and this consistency has led to their sustained success.

Kevin notes, "It's a superpower to show up every day and make sure people understand, 'Look, if I'm gonna tell you, you can get a little bit better every day, the least I can do is show up every day to help you get there.'"


Community: The Secret Sauce


Community plays a significant role in Kevin's philosophy. Amber Stitt, the host, emphasized how critical it is to have a solid support system. According to Kevin, the right community offers a safety net and an avenue for growth. It’s essential to surround yourself with people who share core beliefs, values, and aspirations. This alignment can propel you forward and provide a sense of belonging. Kevin remarks, "Success is hard enough. Never mind if you're doing it with people who don't want to see you succeed."


Authenticity Matters


Another recurring theme in the conversation was authenticity. Kevin advises that every journey needs to be custom-built to suit individual needs and core values. He mentions, "Just because there's other people who can't see it, does not mean it's not going to exist in 20 years." This is particularly crucial advice for aspiring podcasters, or anyone venturing into new and uncertain fields.


Managing Personal Challenges


Life happens, and unexpected events can throw even the most dedicated of us off course. Kevin shared a deeply personal moment during the podcast: receiving a message about his wife's grandmother's passing just minutes before recording. Despite the weight of this news, Kevin handled it with grace, clearly showing his commitment to his life's work, even in difficult times.


Actionable Advice for Aspiring Podcasters


Kevin doesn’t recommend a daily podcast schedule for everyone. One episode a week is a great starting point for most people. The idea is to be realistic about your goals and abilities. Amber resonated with this, noting the importance of choosing projects that are genuinely meaningful.


Looking Forward


To wrap up, Kevin implores listeners and aspiring achievers to work on both their external accomplishments and internal fulfillment. "External success is not going to bring internal fulfillment. It doesn't work that way," he emphasizes. Developing skills like self-love, self-awareness, and self-belief are just as important as professional achievements.


In Conclusion


By integrating the lessons from this insightful conversation, we can all learn to navigate our pathways more effectively, with resilience, authenticity, and a supportive community by our side.
