His name is Steve Kamb, and he&#8217;s the founder of Nerd Fitness and the author of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4dTBbCb\"><em>How to Try Again: An Approachable Guide to Navigating Chaos and Making Change THAT STICKS<\/em><\/a>. Today on the show, Steve shares practical principles for dealing with life&#8217;s frustrating and demoralizing setbacks. We discuss why sometimes the best move is to pause rather than push harder, how to accept reality without resigning yourself to it, why treating change as an experiment can help you beat paralysis and take action, why you should treat consistency with your goals the way you do showering, and more.<\/p>\n<h3>Resources Related to the Podcast<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Steve&#8217;s previous appearances&nbsp;on the AoM podcast:\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/health-fitness\/fitness\/the-art-of-manliness-podcast-42-level-up-your-life-with-nerd-fitness-steve-kamb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/health-fitness\/fitness\/the-art-of-manliness-podcast-42-level-up-your-life-with-nerd-fitness-steve-kamb\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1780919447512000&amp;usg=AOvVaw25twF7A3uojB9v_C-8VWiC\">Episode #42: Level Up Your Life With Nerd Fitness &amp;
