Host Mary McCorvey talks with Kevin Palmieri (Next Level University) about what happens after achievement doesn’t fix the emptiness. Kevin shares the hotel-room moment that changed everything, how reaching out kept him alive, and the practical systems—habit tracking, commitment devices, identity work—that turned purpose into a daily practice. We also get real about Relationships, boundaries, and keeping Love in the room while you build.

Mary McCorvey is a veteran of the Gulf War, founder of 7 companies, TV producer, author, radio host, and playwright whose life reads like a memoir—because it is one. From being implicated in a murder at 17 to surviving sarin gas exposure in Kuwait, Mary’s story is defined by resilience, reinvention, and one core question: What do you do… when life keeps rewriting the script?
After being diagnosed with terminal pulmonary fibrosis and told she had two years to live, Mary defied the odds. She rebuilt her life after betrayal, launched a mission to send students’ work to the Moon, and most recently, opened a locked box she’d carried for 35 years—unleashing a memoir-in-motion about love, memory, and healing.
Now the host of the podcast and author of the book, Experience Over Expectation, Mary brings wit, warmth, and depth to conversations about identity, aging, forgiveness, and second chances. She’s equally at home discussing trauma and tenacity as she is laughing through the absurdities of life.
Mary lives—and thrives—in Pennsylvania, with a story to tell and a mic in hand.
