Kevin Palmieri shares his journey from making six figures but feeling empty to finding true fulfillment through podcasting and personal development. His story reveals how external success couldn't fix his internal struggles with anxiety and depression until he discovered his true purpose.

• Found external success as a bodybuilder with a model girlfriend and nice income but was hiding inner emptiness
• Experienced rock bottom during an intense bodybuilding competition that led to depression and anxiety
• Made $100,000 at age 26 but felt exactly the same as before, realizing money wasn't the solution
• Started podcasting as a way to explore fulfillment and eventually left his six-figure job
• Discovered the critical difference between happiness (fleeting) and fulfillment (sustainable)
• Uses fitness as a cornerstone for mental health while maintaining a healthier relationship with it
• Found that setting smaller, achievable goals creates momentum that leads to real progress
