Episode 24: Achieving Inner Success with Kevin Palmeri

In the pursuit of success, individuals often focus on external achievements and milestones, hoping that they will lead to happiness and fulfilment. However, inner success, the kind that brings genuine contentment and personal growth, is a more intricate and personal journey.

In this episode, we sit down with Kevin Palmeri, the founder of Next Level University. Kevin shares his life journey, from growing up in a modest household with his mom and grandma to not meeting his dad until he was 27. He initially focused on becoming a better person in his late twenties, later pursuing external success but he still felt insecure, unhappy inside and eventually losing it all.

Kevin stresses the importance of inner fulfilment before seeking external success. He values humility, vulnerability, and surrounding yourself with people who support your growth. Kevin's fear of letting others down drives him to keep growing. Self-awareness is crucial for addressing insecurities and taking action to overcome them.

Kevin shares how he started the Hyperconscious Podcast in 2017 and left his high-paying job in 2018. He shares their podcast production company's evolution and their goal of providing free self-improvement content to everyone.

He also reflects on reconnecting with his father, emphasizing the power of forgiveness and personal growth. This journey taught him empathy and the motivation to help others grow. Kevin emphasizes self-love and finding confidence in yourself rather than relying on others for validation. Kevin also discusses what can hinder consistency in success, such as losing ambition once you achieve your goals or struggling with the fear of success and self-worth.
