Summary

Today's show is a really fun one with Steve Kamb, the guy behind NerdFitness.com, a super popular blog and fitness community. He's helped thousands of regular people "level up their lives" as he says, all while exercising and exploring all over the world!

Now before we get to our show today with Steve, I just want to tell you guys about what's been going on behind the scenes here, and why you may have had some trouble reaching us in the past few days. I actually wrote a whole blog post about it, because it's completely crazy. You can read "How Accidentally Deleting My Subscribers Gave Us the #1 Podcast in Spain" here to get the full scoop. Basically I just want to say thank you for bearing with us, and for being such amazing supporters. Hopefully we've all learned something from the process. I'm glad we could turn lemons into lemonade! So, if you want to be sure to always know when a new podcast is up, you can put your email in below to sign up to receive my emails. Along with updates about the podcast, I'll be sending you a free ebook. Just put your best email in below and I'll send it right over! Again, thank you all so much for your support.

So on today's show with Steve we talk about:

How you can make your fitness and life as fun as a video game
How to get kids to level up in real life instead of "World of War Craft"
And what it's like to live like James Bond in Monte Carlo

0:52.4	So to those of you who had trouble accessing my podcast this

1:01.7	was completely broken for days. And incredibly, your response made us hit number one in health
1:07.7	in Spain. How is that possible? So the backstory is RSS is dying.

1:19.3	The service that I used to host my blog and podcast subscribers feedburner is no longer
