Then it did, on his marriage, his company, and his health, all in the same eighteen months.</p><p><br></p><p>Steve Kamb founded Nerd Fitness in 2009 and grew it into a community of millions on the strength of a thousand essays and a very large amount of free Google traffic. His new book, <em><a href=\"https://link.amazon/B04l3PWpv\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">How to Try Again</a></em>, was sold as a guide to what happens after you quit the resolution or abandon the training plan, and then rewrote itself in real time when the company he founded crashed hard, his marriage ended, and his body started sending the bill.
