No Negative Energy Presents: The "Due To Expire" Podcast with Corey L. Kennard
That carton of milk, that coupon, that prescription—they all come with a warning: "Due To Expire." It’s a reminder to act before it’s too late.
But what about the most valuable thing you possess? Your life!
This show is built on one powerful, undeniable truth: we are all living on borrowed time. This isn't about fear; it's about fire. Corey reframes mortality not as a tragic end, but as the ultimate motivator to live with intention, passion, and urgency.
Stop counting the days and start making the days count.

Turning Regret Into A Superpower!
Regret can be weirdly specific: the message you sent too fast, the moment you stayed quiet, the choice you can’t stop replaying. I’m Corey Kennard, and I’m making a case for something most of us never hear. Regret isn’t a glitch in your brain. ...
Interview: Kicking The Budget with Scott Zuckerman
Money stress has a way of sneaking into everything: your sleep, your mood, your marriage, and the choices you make when life gets busy. We wanted a conversation that cuts through the noise and gives you a clear path to financial wellness that a...
Interview: From Foes To Friends - Warnings and Wisdom From An Unlikely Artistic Duet
Time is moving, and we do not get to hit pause on history. We sit down with two Detroit elders who refuse to let hard truths fade into the background: actor Dwight Stackhouse and award-winning poet and ghostwriter Alexander Payne Morgan. They b...
Trusting Your Gut: The Science Behind Listening to Your Second Brain
Your “gut instinct” might be the most underappreciated data stream in your life. We follow the signal from butterflies before a big presentation all the way down to the enteric nervous system, a dense network of hundreds of millions of neurons ...
The High Cost Of People-Pleasing!
Saying yes can feel like kindness, but what if it’s actually fear wearing a friendly mask? I’m Corey Kennard, and I’m calling out the “disease to please” the pattern that keeps us overcommitted, quietly resentful, and stuck in relationships whe...
Life's Noise Canceling Headphones: How To Find Real Silence In A Hyperconnected World
Silence isn’t gone, it’s just been crowded out by pings, feeds, and the weird pressure to stay reachable every second. We’re noise drunk, and not only from jackhammers and sirens, but from the traffic inside our skulls: notification fatigue, no...
The Relationship Roadmap: Navigation, Potholes, and Roadside Repair
Most relationship blowups aren’t caused by one forgotten chore or one late text. They happen when two people are aiming for different outcomes with the same conversation and neither realizes it until the tension spikes. We walk through the real...
Quiet Killers Of Human Progress
Your life probably will not fall apart in one dramatic moment. It will more likely drift off course through tiny habits that feel harmless: one more delay, one more comfortable yes, one more “quick” notification check that fractures your mind. ...
Can We Talk? - An Interview with Jermaine Ee
Avoiding end-of-life planning is easy until you watch confusion and regret hit the people you love. We sit down with Jermaine Ee, founder of HeirLight.com, to talk about why so many families still don’t have a will and why the real obstacle usu...
Life Is Like A Carton Of Milk
You can smell a carton of milk and panic over 24 hours, yet still treat your own life like it has no expiration date. We challenge that default setting and make a bold case: mortality is not a dark thought to avoid, it is the ultimate clarity t...
Structure Eats Stress For Lunch!
Discipline has a branding problem. The moment we hear the word, many of us picture restriction, punishment, and a rigid life that squeezes out joy. But when we avoid structure, “going with the flow” often turns into three hours of doom scrollin...
Failing Forward
Think back to the most spectacular mess you’ve ever made. The one that still makes you wince. Now imagine that moment wasn’t proof you’re broken, but proof your brain is learning. Host Corey Kennard walks through why failure hurts so much, why ...
Staying Lit: Fueling the Fire Of Your Passion
You look in the mirror and feel the creak before you feel the spark. That moment can feel personal, like you somehow “ran out” of motivation, but I argue it is not a willpower problem at all. It is a predictable collision between biology and bu...
I Second That Emotion
Your worst habits might not be “who you are.” They might be warning lights. We talk about emotional health as the real driver of human behavior and why ignoring it can quietly wreck your relationships, your physical health, and your ability to ...
Gaining The Edge!
Everyone is grinding, but grinding is not the same as winning. If hard work were the deciding factor, the busiest people in the world would always be the best, and we all know that’s not how performance works. Today we unpack what actually crea...
Decide To Decide
Indecision is not neutral. It is a silent drain on your time, your energy, and your confidence, and it keeps you stuck in the hallway staring at doors you never open. We start with a blunt truth: not choosing is still a choice, and the longer y...
Time Is Not Money, But It's A Close Cousin!
What if you woke up every morning with a fresh deposit of 86,400 seconds and whatever you didn’t use vanished at night? That’s not a thought experiment, it’s real life, and it changes how we think about productivity, stress, and what “success” ...
Impermanence: Finding Your Footing When The Ground Keeps Moving!
The room is changing while you read this: the light shifts, your coffee cools, your body updates itself cell by cell. When we live like things should stay fixed, that constant motion starts to feel like a threat and we respond by gripping harde...
The Second Act: Interview with Elizabeth Coplan
Most people spend decades climbing, then call it a life. Elizabeth Coplan spends four decades in Fortune 500 marketing and high-stakes law firm PR, then makes a sharper turn: she uses those same skills to build Grief Dialogues, a theater-driven...
Monday Is Coming!
Monday is coming every single week, whether we feel ready or not, and that’s exactly why we stop treating it like an enemy. We talk about the real roots of Monday dread and why “living for the weekend” quietly steals your life one week at a tim...
Before New Love, Find True Love
You can spend years swiping, dating, and overthinking who likes you, then still feel empty when you finally “find someone.” I’m Corey Kennard, and I’m challenging the whole chase with one cold truth: you can’t build a skyscraper on a foundation...
The Art Of Being Happy
You already know life is finite, but most days we live like joy can wait. We’re wired to postpone happiness until some future milestone finally gives us permission to feel good, and that belief quietly steals the only time we actually have: rig...
Cleanup In Aisle 1: Setting The Tone For Your Day!
Your day can be over before it starts, and the culprit is usually a glowing rectangle on the nightstand. We talk about why grabbing your phone right after waking flips your brain into a reactive state, pulls you into cognitive tunneling, and dr...
Beyond Bubble Baths: Self-Care That Builds A Life You Love
Self-care has been sold to us as a reward: a candle, a face mask, a nap, a glass of wine. I’m not mad at any of that, but I am pushing past it. Real self-care is the work that protects your peace and helps you build a life you don’t need to esc...
Aging: Like A Fine Wine
What if getting older isn’t a slow fade but a clear step up? We crack open the myths around aging—from shame about our years to the loop of “if only I knew then”—and rebuild a healthier story grounded in gratitude, purpose, and the kind of wisd...
