Life is hard, we all know that, we have things we want to accomplish in our lives, deeper relationships, better fitness, starting a new business on and on and on.

But what makes it hard is that there are so many distractions and so many excuses and our goals just never seem to become a reality.

My guest today Steve Cam, founder of Nerd Fitness, shares how his love for video games and movies help us overcome distractions, procrastination, excuses, and helps us become the hero of our own journey.

You're a man of action, you live life to the fullest, embrace your fears, and boldly charge your own path. When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time, every time. You are not easily deterred, defeated, rugged, resilient, strong.

This is your life, this is who you are, this is who you will become. At the end of the day, and after all is said and done, you can call yourself a man.

Men How are you today? My name is Ryan Mikler and I am the founder of Order of Man. Now if you're new to the show, we talk about leadership, relationships, eliminating excuses, health, wealth, and so much more. In other words, this is your one stop hub for all things, manly.

Now today we're going to be talking with a man who I've been quietly stalking in the background, Mr. Steve Cam with Nerd Fitness, about how we can use behavioral psychology to our advantage when it comes to reaching our goals.

Before I get into that, let me share something real quick with you. By now, I'm sure you've heard of our Elite Mastermind, the Iron Council, and rather than tell you today how great it is, let me share with you something one of our members shared with me last week.

He had this to say, I know it's only been about a week, but I can honestly say, seeing all of your posts having a couple chats with my battle brother, and even having the a go-he to look forward to.

Everything in my life seems to have purpose again, and I feeling like I'm heading down that path I was meant to make. I'm looking forward to becoming more involved and having more in depth conversations and learning from all of you. Thanks for making this possible. I appreciate it and all of you have a great Sunday brothers.

Now this week we're talking about daily rituals and habits, and we want you to be one of the first 100 members we in the group call them Sancharians.

Men please let me introduce you to my guest today. Steve cam the founder of Nerd Fitness.com. Steve has built an amazing community over 350,000 men and women across the planet, and he teaches them how to level up in every single area of their lives.

So he combines his unique perspective on life with his love for video games and TV and movies to help average Joe's like you and me improve our lives.

He is also the founder of the recently released book Level Up Your Life, how to unlock adventure and happiness by becoming the hero of your own story.

And I found this on a side note. He also one day hopes to become Captain America.

Steve what's going on glad you're here today man.

Brian what's up dude thanks for having me. So I've been a follower of your work for some time and I saw your book coming out and I thought man I'm going to get this guy on the show because I've really enjoyed what you're doing.

So tell me the premise behind level up your life.

Well first of all thank you glad to hear that you've been reading and enjoying it and appreciate the kind words about about the site and everything like that.

The book level up your life is this concept of this idea that what if we are the hero in our own story or you know what if we are the character in our own video game.
