    71: Kevin Palmieri - Getting out of your own way to achieve success
    Dec 6 2024
    Welcome Back Rock Movers!! In today’s podcast, Coach Karen sits down to chat with the other half of the Next Level Universe Team - Kevin Palmieri as he shares his journey from a troubled upbringing to becoming a successful entrepreneur and podcaster. He discusses the misconceptions surrounding success, the importance of vulnerability, and the need for authenticity in personal and professional spaces. Kevin emphasizes the significance of creating safe environments for open dialogue and the impact of personal stories on growth. He also touches on the fear of success and how it can hinder progress, while advocating for the importance of community and support in overcoming life's challenges. Who is Kevin Palmieri? After hitting his rock bottom moment in his 20’s at a time when it seemed he had it all, Kevin went all in on holistic self-improvement. He was determined to overcome my anxiety, depression and to finally live the life he'd always dreamed of. Years later, he now hosts a podcast that impacts hundreds of thousands of people in countries all over the world. He’s helped grow that podcast into a $1M+ revenue business, and has recorded well over 2,700+ episodes with his NEXT LEVEL UNIVERSE and NEXT LEVEL UNIVERSITY Platforms. Kevin has also given hundreds of speeches, trainings, and coaching sessions with people from all over the world. So he says “The main thing that changed was ME.” He focused on learning what he didn't know (unlearning a lot too), and that was when his life started to shift. Takeaways from today’s show: The journey to success often begins with pain and suffering. External achievements do not guarantee internal happiness. Vulnerability is a strength that fosters connection. Creating safe spaces allows for authentic conversations. Fear of success can be as paralyzing as fear of failure. Personal stories can inspire and empower others. Direction in life is more important than speed. Legacy is built through daily actions and interactions. Admitting insecurities can help others feel less alone. The importance of community in personal growth. Sound Bites and Quotes from Kevin "I want to be the type of person for others that I needed when I was struggling." "Direction is more important than speed."
