Nerd. Gamer. Athlete. Three words you rarely hear uttered in the same sentence, let alone to describe any one person (unless you're talking about epic movie battles). But, that "triple-threat" describes founder of the global Nerd Fitness movement and author of Level Up Your Life, Steve Kamb, perfectly. A lifelong gamer and nerd, Steve found himself exposed to the world of fitness later in life. It was like a switch turned on. His life was transformed, and he wanted to find a way to apply what he knew about game-theory and technology to fitness in a quest to help millions of people break out of the fits and starts and finally reclaim their health. So, he created his Nerd Fitness revolution, the members of which call themselves The Rebellion. It seems he struck a chord. Nerd Fitness exploded, growing rapidly into a global community with more than 250,000 members and millions of visits to their online home every month. But, that's not all, Steve also figured out how to literally turn his everyday life into a living, breathing video game he calls his Epic Quest of Awesome. One that has taken him on incredible adventures all over the world, from Croatia to Brazil and Monaco to Munich, all while spending very little money. His new book, Level Up Your Life is essentially the manifesto for the revolution. In this week's conversation, we explore Steve incredible adventure, we dive into how he stumbled upon the "unlock key" for physical transformation in the world of gaming and how he has worked to engineer Nerd Fitness to help people do what seemed impossible before. Oh, and how along the way, he's figured out how to live a deeply adventurous and meaningful life Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  • Although I looked like a million bucks and lived like I was making millions of dollars, you know, I really was a backpacker traveling through France, and I had just kind of hacked my way into becoming James Bond to cross a very specific mission off my list of things to do.

  • So when I think about my days in high school, I think about the gamers, I think about the nerds, and I think about the jocks as pretty much three completely separate people and three totally separate communities, which did not mix all that well.

  • This week's guest, Steve Cam, is the amalgam of all three.

  • He's a nerd.

  • He's a geek who loves science and studying and business.

  • He's a gamer, a lifelong gamer, and he's a guy who's obsessed with fitness.

  • And here's the cool thing.

  • He's actually figured out a way to bring them all together and to build a pretty stunning global community called nerd fitness that helps people literally get incredibly and at the same time turn their lives into, like, living and breathing video games where they are the main player in a game.

  • And it has led him on adventures around the world doing incredible things, and we're going to dive into that.

  • He's also the author of a great new book called Level up your life.

  • So we're going to explore his journey together and take you guys on a nerd fitness adventure.

  • I'm Jonathan Fields.

  • This is is good life project.

  • I thought it would be fun to actually start out talking about the story that you told me when we were hanging out at dinner when we first met, like, what, a month or two ago, which is the Monte Carlo story.

  • Cause it's like the perfect setup.

  • And take me into your experience, my.

  • Thought process behind it.

  • Not even your thought first.

  • Just like Leia.

  • Take me into, like, it's the day of and this is what went down.
