Kevin Palmieri shares his powerful journey from contemplating suicide to finding purpose as a podcaster and speaker, revealing how facing fears consistently led to transformation.

• Raised without knowing his father until age 27, developing deep-seated feelings of inadequacy
• Job-hopped from gas station attendant to construction, making excellent money but feeling empty
• Reached rock bottom in a hotel room contemplating suicide while preparing for work
• Left his high-paying job to pursue podcasting full-time despite initial financial struggles
• Experienced worsening anxiety and panic attacks during his transition to entrepreneurship
• Overcame anxiety not through medication but through repeatedly facing his fears
• Discovered his purpose isn't podcasting itself, but being the person he needed at his lowest point
• Maintains authenticity and relatability as core values despite growing success
• Breaks down massive goals into small, manageable steps rather than focusing on the mountain top
