Next Simple Step

Steve Kamb loves video games and fitness and discovered there was an underserved population in the fitness space - NERDS. In 2008, he founded an online community - Nerd Fitness. It's now grown to include 45 supportive nerds (coaches) serving over 50,000 members. He wrote a bestselling book, "Level Up Your Life" and is currently working on his second book.

Steve's goal with Nerd Fitness is to remove EVERY barrier – mental, physical, and emotional – that keeps people from changing their life for the better.

Your life will be better by listening to this conversation.

Are you a hopeful person?

The thing about hope is it's not passive, it's action-oriented, and there is a difference between being an optimistic person and a hopeful person.

Paul Goldsmith shares the story of a veteran who found hope and saved his life.

Your good intentions have been stolen, and celebrity fitness trainer Vinnie Tortorich joins Paul Goldsmith to help you get them back. Vinnie is the bestselling author of Fitness Confidential: Adventures in the Weight Loss Game. He has a popular podcast with the same name.

He's been called America's Angriest Trainer, but he doesn't seem that angry on the podcast.

Paul Goldsmith shares some life lessons from David Foster Wallace's This is Water commencement address.

You make the meaning in your life.

Turn down the noise and get clear about what brings your life meaning. And go do more of it. No one else is doing to do it for you. It takes curiosity and courage to find and pursue your meaning and purpose. You are worth it.

Paul Goldsmith chats with Ben Barker, a fitness influencer, known for posting hilarious videos on Instagram and Tiktok, tongue-in-cheek, teaching men how to become "Alpha Dad".

Ben shares how he went from being a fitness studio trainer to one day just quitting to pursue internet fame. And issues a warning to anyone else considering the same: Followers don't equal dollars.

Ben also shares a few nutrition and fitness tips for anyone wanting to be healthier.

Todd Isberner, author of What Every Man Needs To Know: How to Master Faith, Family, Fitness, and Finances joins Paul to discuss how to stay mentally and physically fit into your 70s and beyond so that your healthspan keeps up with your lifespan. You can find Todd at ToddIsberner.com

Todd's wife, Wendie Pett is a Wellness Coach and was a guest on a previous episode found here.

Paul shares about an assessment that can help you uncover your own deepest, unconscious motivations; it's called PRINT®, short for motivational imprint. PRINT® is a statistically validated and actionable method for uncovering people's core, underlying motivators -illuminating the "WHY" behind behaviors, actions, and reactions. PRINT® explains what drives, fulfills, and triggers each individual and reveals with great accuracy why people sometimes act in Best Self, making positive and productive choices and decisions, while other times they may make less constructive choices, allowing their Shadow side to break through.

Paul is a certified PRINT® coach, and if you're interested in taking the assessment or having it done with your team at work, send him a text - at 559-574-3710.

Paul shares his thoughts about what it takes to truly live a rich life, inspired by the Netflix show How To Get Rich.

If you had all the money in the world, how would you spend your time differently?

Why not start living a rich life where you are by eliminating distractions and busyness and being intentional with your time to be and do who you are called to be? Protect your mindset; it's your property and doesn't belong to anyone else.

Also, NBA player Giannis Antetokounmpo has the best answer to a reporter when he's asked if he considers his season a failure.

What do you think the most successful people do differently than you?

They tap into their unique purpose and design their days to maximize the time spend developing mastery of the things that they choose to do (have autonomy).

Paul breaks down how to review your habits and routines to ensure you are optimizing your future. One key is tapping into your intrinsic motivations and maximizing the time you spend living your unique purpose.
