In this episode, I sat down with Kevin Palmary from Next Level University who's done over 800 episodes of his show. Kevin shared his incredible journey from rock bottom to podcast success. Despite having the car, the body, the model girlfriend, and money in the bank at 25, Kevin was empty inside - depressed, anxious, and insecure. His wake-up call came when he found himself on the edge of a hotel bed in New Jersey, contemplating ending his life because he felt so stuck. Instead, he went ALL IN on his podcast, left his six-figure job, ran up $35,000 in credit cards, and completely transformed his life. Kevin dropped some serious truth bombs about why most podcasts fail, why treating your podcast like a business matters more than chasing download numbers, and how vulnerability creates the bridge that connects people. If you're thinking about starting a podcast or growing the one you have, this episode is packed with insights you can't miss.

About Kevin: Host of Top 100 Global Podcast "Next Level University" - 700+ Episodes, Listeners In Over 100 Countries. Some people find rock bottom... I found out that rock bottom has a basement. In my mid 20's... I had it all. A beautiful girlfriend, a high paying job, a sports car, my dream body... but I still ended up sitting on the edge of a bed debating suicide... several times. After my rock bottom moment, I went all in on self improvement, I was determined to overcome my anxiety, to overcome my depression. Years later, I host a podcast with hundreds of thousands of downloads in over a hundred countries, I've grown the podcast into a multi six-figure business and I've recorded over 700 episodes. I've given nearly 100 speeches and had the opportunity to do hundreds of coaching calls. The main thing that changed was ME. I focused on learning what I didn't know (and unlearning a lot too) and my life started to shift. It's my purpose to help other people get unstuck and get to the next level of their lives.
