Welcome to another episode of your brand amplified.

I am Anika Jackson here with Kevin Pomeieri.

Kevin, you are the CFO, founder and co-host of Next Level University, you are all about the self-improvement journey and this all started with your own journeys.

Let's just get right in and talk about how you went from having it all to rock bottom to rock bottom

spacement as you put it again. Yeah, yeah, so first of all thank you for having me I

appreciate it very much. Yeah, let's get right into it. So I always give a little bit of context just because I think it's important to understand what you're hearing and who it's coming from.

So the very beginning of my journey, I was raised by my mom and my grandmother, didn't meet my dad until I was 27

and obviously that has positive and negative effects on a young man so I always just

throw that out there just for context other than that not a lot happened in my childhood

that's newsworthy. The interesting part of life

started after high school when all my friends went away to college I was like I don't know what I want to do

but college is not what I want to do so I'm not going to do that'm going to figure out my own life and kind of go up my own pace. So I ended up

job hopping from the time where I was pretty much 16 until 22, 23 and I ended up getting this very unique job in an industry called weatherization.

All that means is we go into buildings and we make them more energy efficient.

That's kind of the best way to explain it, right? So if you looked at me a few

years later, I'm 25 years old, it looks like every decision I made was the right decision

because now I'm quote unquote successful.

And my girlfriend is a model.

I have a sports car.

I just competed in and won my bodybuilding show.
