About this episode

Steve Kamb discusses how to approach setbacks in retirement and introduces his PACT framework for personal growth.

Retirement can create an unexpected form of pressure. With more freedom and fewer work constraints, shouldn’t this be the moment when we finally perfect our health, routines, relationships, and long-delayed ambitions? Steve Kamb argues that this all-or-nothing mindset often produces an all- then -nothing result. Steve is the founder of Nerd Fitness and author of How to Try Again . In this conversation, he explains why setbacks are not proof that we are failures; they are information about what to try differently. He shares lessons from the Museum of Failure, reframes treading water as a legitimate success during certain seasons, and makes the case that no one truly returns to square one.
