Episode notes
Origin Story: From Failures To Nerd Fitness
- Steve Kamb started Nerd Fitness after six years of failed attempts at getting healthy and a near-death bench-press mishap in high school.
- He built the site to help other beginners who don't have years to waste learning fitness on their own.
Use Pop Culture To Lower Barriers
- Target beginners by speaking their language and using pop-culture hooks to make fitness approachable and memorable.
- Use familiar nerd references to reduce intimidation and increase engagement for deskbound readers.
Trust Beats Gimmicky Marketing
- Avoid predatory fitness marketing that promises miracles via gear or supplements and focus on evidence-based, accessible solutions.
- Trust builds when advice is free, simple, and not tied to product commissions.
