Episode Highlights
Cam’s Beginnings
Being a skinny and insecure boy when he was young, sports gave him a source of happiness and a sense of connection.
An injury in his late teens prompted him to end his hockey career and drove him to a path of depression.
Exercise and fitness changed his perspective about himself and the world. It gave him mental clarity and happiness, which allowed him to achieve his goals.
Many of his colleagues asked him about the source of his contagious enthusiasm and positive energy, and this led him to run an app dedicated to fitness.
He wants to create a solution for people so that they could experience the positive change he discovered through fitness.

Being a First-Time Entrepreneur
Before starting Fitplan, he was fulfilling other people’s vision. Cam has zero experience when it comes to technology.
His vision and passion made it easier to overcome the struggles of being a first-time entrepreneur. Later on, he became better at managing challenges along the way.

People become the best version of themselves when they commit to a routine and are kind to themselves.
On the Feeling of Lethargy
Cam admits that he has moments of going out of his routine. Instead of feeling bad, he focuses on the narrative and conversation he has with himself.
You will suffer more when you resist moments of disappointments. As you work on bettering yourself, remember to be generous and loving.
Find other forms of movement you can engage in.
People have to learn to adapt well to the things going around them.
On the Challenges the World Is Facing Right Now
While we're in this pandemic right now, bettering yourself by deepening your practice will allow you to uncover the things that truly matter.
Being disciplined and forming a routine are essential for times like this.
If your happiness is providing value to other people, then it’s a win-win situation.
On Happiness
The only sure thing in this world is change. People are constantly evolving.
We will never live the same moment twice.
If you’re constantly trying to put your happiness on fast forward, you’ll never be happy. Choose to be happy right now.
You're not going to find the happiness you want in an event or a thing. You will never be satisfied that way.
The Biggest Challenge in Self-Development
Mastery of self-development is an ongoing process.
His fundamental insecurities around being not good enough are the most challenging things he had to resolve.
Internalizing Your Negative Narrative
Instead of avoiding self-judgment, sit with it and understand the root of your fear.
Taking ownership of your feelings permits you to let the negativity go.
Fear doesn’t serve you in moving forward.
While pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
Your resistance creates suffering.
