Faith, Failure & Forever Love: My Candid...

Dear Media
About this episode

This week on Let’s Try This Again, I’m in sunny LA with the hilarious and inspiring KevOnStage! We go deep on what it really means to have character, integrity, and a long-lasting relationship—Kev shares priceless lessons from 25 years with his wife Melissa, his unwavering devotion to his family, and the heartbreak and healing that shaped him after losing his brother. We laugh about the realities of working in entertainment, the importance of not living for money or outside validation, and how to choose partners (and friends) based on real character, values, and how they treat others over time—not just first impressions. Kev opens up about how his faith has evolved, why he refuses to perform perfection, and how being truly seen and supported by his wife has been his greatest treasure through career highs, loss, and the mundane daily dance of life. We also dive into how to navigate the messy middle of progress, what spiritual growth looks like in real life (not just on Instagram), and the power of being honest about where you are while letting yourself grow in public.
