Summary

Episode 102: Steve Kamb - How To Level Up Your Life

Steve Kamb is a giving leader who has experienced immense success building his company.  On this episode, I was inspired to hear how Steve has progressed in multiple life categories.  I particularly enjoyed the part of our conversation where we discussed the specific ways all of us can “level up our lives.” Embracing gamification to unlock your happiness and exceed your goals was also a unique tactic that I personally will be employing.

Steve Kamb is the rebel leader at NerdFitness.com.  He helps desk jockeys, nerd, and average Joes level up their lives.  And occasionally he travels the world on an “Epic Quest of Awesome.”  His goal is to inspire people to make positive changes which will help you live a better life.  He’ll educate you on how to work out properly, cook a decent meal, and consistently improve your health and well-being. He just released an incredible book titled, “Level Up Your Life:  How To Unlock Adventure and Happiness By Becoming The Hero Of Your Own Story.”

1:29.6

And we promised to continue that dialogue as we both progressed on our journeys and we certainly have and we formed a partnership and Kevin and his great companies and support and people that he works with have agreed to sponsor my podcast.

1:45.6

But for me, I'm very picky when it comes to this.

1:48.1

I only wanted to work with people who I truly believed in their products.

1:52.3

So this is not just a sponsor to me.
