Hello there!

My name is Steve Kamb, and I’m a huge nerd.

I’ve been making my living as a full-time writer/author on the internet for the past 15 years.

Whatever brought you to my little corner of the internet, I’m glad you’re here.

I started this newsletter to share my thoughts on creativity, art, and my weird life making a living as writer. I am a huge bookworm, gamer, and cinephile, so I can’t help but nerd out about my favorite stuff too.

I’ll send you a fun short newsletter semi-regularly, directly from my weird brain to your inbox, that will make you feel slightly less alone, and maybe make you laugh. Hell, it might even help you live a bit better!

You might also be wondering, “Who the heck is this Steve guy?”

Here’s a smattering of random facts:

  • I started NerdFitness.com as a side hobby in 2009, and accidentally turned it into a worldwide community (10+ million visitors / year), website (1,000 published articles), and team (20+ team members).

  • I demoted myself twice in that business because I sucked at being boss and was miserable because I didn’t have any time to do what I love: write!

  • My first book, Level Up Your Life (Rodale) was published in 2016.  With over 50,000 copies sold, I recently reacquired its publishing rights (2nd edition coming in 2025).

  • I’m in the process of working on another secret-book-shaped-project my publisher says I can’t talk about yet, so shhhh.

  • I’m a full-time disaster who occasionally manages to do fun stuff: I exercised around the world, lived like James Bond for a weekend, and spoken at Facebook, Google, and Vanderbilt University.

Oh! I am also active on a few other platforms in case you absolutely need more Steve in your life:

  • THREADS: I have been having a lot of fun over on Threads, sharing daily and having fun making new connections with other creators.

  • INSTAGRAM: I’m still trying to figure out how to make Instagram work for me, but please shoot me a DM and say hey.
