The big question - what is the meaning of life? The great quest - to find meaning in life. I devoted my life to filling all the roles, pursuing all the achievements, and engaging with all the relationships I thought would provide the greatest meaning to my life. Only to come to the reckoning that the world doesn't give meaning to my life. I do. Join me as I discuss how we make meaning from our lives and how we can satisfy ourselves in every moment, regardless of the circumstances. kevinmiller.co *Over 75 million downloads, 350 expert guests, 1,700 episodes...and the journey continues on the podcast evolution from 'The Ziglar Show' to 'The Self-Helpful Podcast' to 'What Drives You' to 'The Kevin Miller Podcast'...134043 Biological Sciences Hygiene & Healthy Living Physical Illness & Disease Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Relationships Science Self-Help Social Sciences Spirituality Success

  • The Pros & Cons of Positive or Negative Change w/ Cognitive Scientist Maya Shankar

    The Pros & Cons of Positive or Negative Change w/ Cognitive Scientist Maya Shankar
    Oct 16 2026
    Continuing with my series on what drives people from when my book, What Drives You came out, I bring you cognitive neuroscientist, Maya Shankar. She is also the host of a hugely popular podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, named Apple Podcast of the year in 2021. Maya actually founded the Behavioral Science Team at the White House, called “the Nudge Unit, which used insights from behavioral economics to write better public policy. Maya’s focus is around what happens to and in us, when change happens. Change we’ve pursued, and change that has fallen upon us. She shares about a girl who lost 100 lbs and realized she was no longer who she was, and who she liked, and she was disappointed at people’s new behavior to her just because she lost weight. And the health nut who got cancer and from it realized if he’d understood what dealing with cancer did for his mindset, he wouldn’t have feared it so much. This is a very candid discussion with Maya on the ins and outs of her own experiences with change and what happens to us when change happens.

  • Healing & Thriving From Big T Trauma w/ Superhero Survivor Christy Marvel

    Healing & Thriving From Big T Trauma w/ Superhero Survivor Christy Marvel
    Oct 12 2026
    Some people have lived through events that are almost impossible to reconcile, because they never should have happened to anyone. I think everyone has painful events in their life, and I don't mean to minimize anyone's experience. But some reach a higher level of tragedy than others, and I've always felt that the most extreme circumstances can offer the most meaningful lessons from those who have overcome them. In this episode, I talk with someone whose list of tragedies is hard for me to fathom. As you'll hear, she did come through them and built a good measure of success in life. But as you'll also hear, she eventually recognized that she was still living under the power of her past traumas, and in that sense was still traumatizing herself. So beyond surviving, getting out, and overcoming, there was a next level: real healing. From that healing, her success has gone beyond the material and into true internal peace, love, and understanding. Today she works to help others not just overcome, but heal and then thrive, and even use their trauma to provide value to the world in incredible and unique ways. Christy Marvel is a Ziglar Success Coach, speaker, trainer, and serial entrepreneur on a mission to help others "Be Their Own Superhero." Christy holds degrees in architecture and business. She has lived abroad, traveled the world, lived in more than half of the U.S. states, and served on mission fields across Central and South America. She owns multiple businesses and makes time for her personal joys of singing, recreational scuba diving, and motorcycling. She has a big heart for empowering others to rise above their past and run toward purpose. Her book, Be Your Own Superhero: Heal Your "Little Me" and Unlock the Power Within, tells much of her own story. More than that, it's an invitation to unlock your strength, break cycles, and Sign up for your $1/month trial period at shopify.com/kevin Go to shipstation.com and use code KEVIN to start your free trial.

  • Maintaining Your Drive Amongst A Career of Overcoming Rejection w/ Hollywood Actor Matthew Del Negro

    Maintaining Your Drive Amongst A Career of Overcoming Rejection w/ Hollywood Actor Matthew Del Negro
    Oct 9 2026
    This is another story in my series on what drives people. Matthew Del Negro is a Hollywood actor who has appeared in many movies and held prominent roles in recent TV series like Showtime's City on a Hill, Paramount's Mayor of Kingstown, and, right now, Amazon Prime's Neagley. Matthew describes being a professional actor as a career of being told no for a living. A few years ago, he decided to take some of what he had learned and use it to help others. He started a podcast called 10,000 Nos and then published a book by the same title. That's what caught my eye. I appreciate people who use their platforms and the hard lessons they've learned to help others. I really connected with Matthew and enjoyed getting to know him. He's a family guy with kids and a down-to-earth lifestyle. In this discussion, he talks about his personal story: being the peacekeeper in his family, having his life shattered by the breakup of a relationship, and taking up acting later in life. I wanted to know what has motivated him throughout his life, leading up to now. You can find him on his podcast, 10,000 Nos, get his book by the same name, or connect with Matthew on Instagram @mattydel.
