How to Turn Setbacks Into Comebacks: The Power of Positive Self-Talk with Cam F. Awesome

In this episode of the Small Brave Moves podcast, we explore the transformative power of mindset, resilience, and reframing failure. I’m joined by the unforgettable Cam F. Awesome—12-time national boxing champion, former captain of Team USA, and now a dynamic speaker on positive self-talk, confidence, and resilience.

Cam’s story is one of extraordinary reinvention. From being bullied as a child and later suspended from the Olympic team, to changing his last name to Awesome and building a career as a speaker and entertainer, Cam shares how positive self-talk became his greatest weapon.

We get into:

  • How Cam used mindset to rise from rock bottom to world champion
  • Why imposter syndrome starts with humility—and what to do instead
  • The surprising truth about failure and why it’s often your greatest opportunity
  • How to check your self-talk and start treating yourself like someone you love

This episode is packed with bold ideas, honest moments, and laugh-out-loud wisdom. If you’re ready to rethink how you talk to yourself—and rewrite your story—this one’s for you.
