The Spaniard Show: Recent Episodes
Charlie "The Spaniard" Brenneman
Whether you don’t want to read, don’t have the time to read, or are simply on the lookout for great books to read, you’re in the right spot. With the discipline of wrestling and professional fighting and the lesson planning of a former teacher, I study all kinds of books (including kids' books) and teach their lessons. I also interview guests from all walks of life.
A bit about me, the host...former Spanish teacher turned UFC fighter. Fight name: The Spaniard. Current mission is to embody and inspire lifelong learning through speaking, writing and podcasting.
Fresh off a youth wrestling tournament, I'm bringing some observations and insights that can help you navigate the world of youth sports.

In this episode, you'll hear my sauna use details, as well as the many benefits backed by science.

While I've been sauna'ing for years consistently, the cold plunge is a newer habit I've picked up. First learning about Wim Hoff (the OG of cold plunging) years ago on Rogan, I've been slowly dipping my toes (and body) into various cold tubs. My take is that cold benefits are a bit less agreed upon than sauana benefits, but it's something I'm currently committed to nonetheless. Tune in to hear the science behind it and how you can create your own cold habit for less than $100.

I created this episode because youth sports needs a reboot, or at least some course correction. While there are some major advancements and new opportunities for young athletes, there are some glaring holes in the system. I was fortunate to have great parents and many good coaches throughout my athletic career, and I'm in a phase of life where youth sports is prominent. I'm seeing it all, and I have a few things to say about it. We'll start with some awareness, and we'll finish with some actionable steps.

"The power of self-control" says the subtitle. Second in the series of Ryan Holiday's four books on the Stoic virtues, Discipline is Destiny teaches about temperance (discipline/self-control). Discipline is one of the few habits that will open up the world of possibilities to you. The ability to say yes to the things you know you should say yes to. Not doing the things you know you shouldn't do. All part of your plan to create the person you hope to be.

I get asked about reading a lot. What books I read and recommend. How often I read. How I read. And recently I was asked how someone could become a better reader. This episode is my explanation and answer to that question.

What an incredibly fun and challenging event that was...5k on the hour, every hour, for twelve hours. I'm much more knowledgable on this side of the miles than I was prior, and I'm excited to share some of my takeaways. In this episode, I'll talk a bit about strategy and execution, fuel (food/nutrition), camaraderie, how I felt physically and mentally, and more. (NOTE: If you haven't listened to Talks 451 yet, listen to that first.)

This is my biggest physical challenge since fighting (maybe ever), a 12 hour 5k marathon of a day. A 5k on the hour, every hour, for twelve hours, starting at 7 AM. Conjured up by a friend of mine, this challenge makes me nervous and excited. Tune in to learn more about the event, my training, goals and more.

This one comes from a recent experience I had as it pertains to the scale. As a wrestler and professional fighter, I've probably stepped on the scale a bunch more than the average person. And even though my competitive days are in the rearview mirror, I still fight the urge to step on the scale and let that number dictate how I feel (albeit much less than I used to). Here is some insightful and practical knowledge that can help you distance yourself from the number on the scale and the feelings it gives you.

Wait, ANOTHER episode with a hilarious bare knuckle fighter? Okay, okay--this is the first episode to feature a professional bare knuckle fighter, period. Like Spanny, Dustin Pague is a UFC vet and fun guy. He enthuses about his wife and family as well as currently competing in the BKFC. Plus he shares stories about UFC adventures including reporting for "The Ultimate Fighter" six days after being married ... cutting 34 pounds in one week ... fighting with a broken hand ... and more.

I often get asked how many assemblies I do, so I figured it'd be a good time to add up this year's numbers and present them as an update and documentation of our growth. There are no guarantees in life or business, so it'll be interesting to note how this plays out over time. All we (Dread and I) can control is what we can control, and we are doing our best to reach more and more young people through our books, programs and resources. I hope you enjoy this year's assembly recap!

The highest caliber wrestler with the highest caliber character is the highest level person in my opinion. And that was on full display this past week at Final X wrestling in Newark, NJ. Final X is the final competition that determines who will compete for the US on the World Team. It was a who's who of wrestling and a memory I won't forget. Here are some highlights and thoughts on the event and wrestlers.

In 2014, The Spaniard welcomed Beneil Dariush to the UFC when the two met in Beneil’s first UFC appearance. Beneil won. Nevertheless, now Spanny welcomes Beneil to the podcast to talk about his life journey, beginning in Beneil's home country of Iran. Their chat might well leave you thinking ”If anyone had to defeat The Spaniard, I’m glad it was Beniel.” Because the guy has heart—for his family, for others (you’ll hear about his missionary work in Haiti) and for combat sports. Beniel wonders at his own thirst for fighting and his love of breaking opponents and has finally concluded ”God uses even the worst part of me.” That’s rare depth and spirit. Enjoy meeting Beniel.

An incredible and eye-opening book that will change the way you look the world. Cobalt fuels the current cellphone/tablet/laptop/electric car industries (as it's a necesity in all lithium-ion rechargeable batteries), and it's effect on the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been debilitating. This book was hard to read at times because of the reality it shows, and that makes it even more important to read. You will think and feel differently after reading this book.

What an incredible story. Harry Haft was 16 when he was taken away and put into a concentration camp, and he could have never imagined the atrocities that were coming his way. This is his story of fighting, both for his survival and also against his boxing opponents in the camps. The Nazis used Harry for entertainment because of his boxing skills, skills that would develop into a professional fighting career after escaping the Nazis.

It's been years and years of building a business post-fighting, and the majority of that time I've spent digging and swimming upstream. It hasn't been easy. Successes and small wins have happened, but I had conditioned myself to the reality of fighting with very little return. The successes I did have were amazing, but they were few and far between. But starting last fall, the tide began to shift, and it has carried into this spring. Today, I lay out a handful of lessons that have kept me on track and grounded. You can apply these lessons to various areas of your life.

Watching the post-match interviews at the NCAA wrestling tournament is one of the best teachers there is. What a show of sportsmanship and humility. Lifelong dreams won and lost, and the strength of character to talk about it. This episode is my unsolicited request to wrestlers that they don't change. That even though shock and awe is the way of social media and $$$, there's an alternative that's just as rewarding, albeit perhaps in a different way.

IMPORTANT REQUEST! I just released a new kids life skills book on Amazon called "GO FIGURE," described in this episode. If you like the sound of it, please buy it ON FRIDAY, MARCH 17 (yep, St. Patrick's day) and help spread the word. We're urging that to gang up purchases that will help it become a best seller in its category. Dread came back again to help explain how all of this came together. GO FIGURE is the first in a series of books called DAYS OF SPANIARD that are another tool, alongside the SPANIARD SCHOOL podcast and videos, that help kids through the ups and downs of growing up. These books blend fact and fiction for fun, heartfelt lessons. Heck, I wish I'd had them growing up! Dread and I are excited for readers of all ages to enjoy and learn from them. Thanks for your help.

Remember when this show was called "A Fighter's Mindset"? That was a long time ago, and in that time, I've learned a lot about a different mindset, "a seller's mindset." Adapting myself to this new reality of mine (selling in order to have a business) has been filled with a lot of No's, embarrassing calls and Zooms and many other stomach-sinking interactions. But, I've gotten better, and this book has helped. Today's book teaches selling as influence, belief, psychology and much more. Whether you're directly in sales or not, it's lessons are applicable to life.

This episode published on Thursday as usual, but not at 6 am Eastern, as has been the practice for years. This past Monday broke the pattern too—there was no Books episode at all. This was by choice, tied to changes in The Spaniard, meaning both the man and the business. Spanny and Dread give background and discuss what podcasting has given The Spaniard and will continue to give, but also what it hasn’t delivered. You’ll also hear about Spanny’s other podcast, Spaniard School, and how it relates to the latest realizations and experiments. Keep listening, because episodes will keep coming, just differently. And you’ll want to hear about the next developments as they happen.

Currently in Grand Junction, CO (speaking at Grand Mesa MS), I'm sitting and reflecting on this career and life I'm building. You'll hear my realtime thoughts on building and leveraging a life and career, the importance of choices along the way, the humility that comes with helping kids, the awesome people I'm meeting along the way and the added bonus of seeing so many communities and beautiful places. And as much, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. You'll hear some of the tough moments as well.

This was a first for me. Having read this book, I wasn't quite sure I comprehended its major points, so I went to the Internet for some research. After working my way through the information, I think I've put together a nice summary and commentary on The Great Divorce. We're talking morality, good and bad, and Heaven and Hell. It gets a bit deep.

This discussion involves actual Spaniards! The kind that American students learn at least a little about: Early explorers of the present-day southeastern U.S. as well as Mexico. But most of us never heard of the particular long and harrowing expedition that dwindled a force of 300 to only four men, a story told in the book ”A Land So Strange” (discussed in Books Episodes 1498 and 1499). In this talk, our very own Spaniard gains additional background from Andres Resendez, the author of that fascinating historical account.

Wait, wasn’t this guy here just a month ago? Yep, on Episode 422, which began with a mixup on who was hosting whom. But now, for reals, Spanny is hosting Jon Bier, who, as you will hear, is a legitimate candidate for the actual Most Interesting Man in the World. Spanny and Jon met over ten years ago through PR that Jon was doing with UFC fighters. Now Jon shares his path from Montreal to Thailand to Australia to New York, Los Angeles, and Hawaii. Along the way there was surfing, boxing, lackluster school days that nevertheless led to Jon's passing the New York bar, with by-ways into depression and low self-esteem, then on into discovering unique gifts for PR and creating and leading his own prominent 50-person firm. Oh, and buying a ghost town on top of a silver mine, as one does. He speaks in this episode of wanting to come back to say more on living a life well-lived, which he doesn’t equate with work and success. Yes, Jon, please do come back again.

Dr. James Doty’s memoir ”Into the Magic Shop” (Books Episode #1474) fascinated The Spaniard by recounting Jim Doty’s rise from dysfunctional family to globally-recognized neurosurgeon, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and researcher into compassion. Now Dr. Doty joins Spanny to discuss allocating time and minimizing distractions … recognizing conflicts between materialism and altruism … seeing surprises meet science in neurosurgery … distinguishing between wants and needs … and much more. Dr. Doty has maintained relationships with renowned spiritual and religious leaders and found even the most enlightened to be merely human—so he affirms that there is hope for any of us.

Today’s episode is a special one, and it is to commemorate and honor the life of my grandmother. She recently passed away at 93 years old. While we are still processing the loss, I thought it would be neat to re-post an interview I did a few years ago with my grandma and grandpa. Their 75 year marriage says it all. I hope this makes you smile.

If you listen to Spaniard School (my student podcast), you may have heard this episode before. And if you don't already listen, well, my hope is that you'll start! What you're about to hear to is this week's Spaniard School episode, and it was inspired by a recent elementary wrestling tournament. If you have young people in your life, I hope you utilize and share these lessons with them. (In case you're wondering, they're 100% applicable to us as well.)

From the various roles they played throughout, to the harmonious ideal with the Native Americans that Cabeza de Vaca sought, to the interactions of the Natives and Europeans...this week's episode will leave you in thought and wonder about the life and times of the 15th and 16th centuries in North America.

Back before The Spaniard was in the UFC, he intersected with Jon Bier through the Tokyo Five brand and Ariel Helwani. Now Jon and Spanny are on each other’s podcasts at the same time—because each of them thought he was hosting the other! Listen for the moment of revelation a few minutes in. They go on to review Spanny’s career and the remarkable trajectory of the UFC, and they trade notes about career-building. Soon, Jon will be back as the guest, and we'll hear more of his story.

This is a fascinating story of adventure and survival in a time that predates our country, but in a way, is laying its foudation. Initially with the intent to colonize and claim Florida and parts of the American Southwest for Spain, the Florida Expedition goes awry. It's hard to put into words what follows in the eight year journey of Cabeza de Vaca and the three other survivors. This is their story.

Jason Feifer offers each of us a valuable question in this talk with Spanny: ”What do you own?” Meaning items such as a particular strength, skill, or commitment. His answer forms his own mission statement. Listen for him to share it and note how it transcends his current influential position as editor in chief of ”Entrepreneur” magazine. This is just one of many insights behind his new book ”Build for Tomorrow,” subtitled as just what it is: An action plan for embracing change, adapting fast and future-proofing your career.

Ready. Fire. Aim. That's what today's episode is about.
Many years ago I started something called the AMX Fight Club. It was built on the back of my daily Books episodes (then called AMX - AM Excellence), and it was simply a group of people whose lives were better because of the daily podcast episodes. At its height, we were 22 members paying $10/month. In time, I decided to go in another direction, ending the program, but the idea has stuck with me since. Today's episode is about rebooting that idea and building a newer version of the Fight Club.

The MMA world recently lost one of its greats, Anthony "Rumble" Johnson. Rumble struck fear into everyone he fought, but he was as kind as could be outside the cage. I've had a lot of people reach out to me since his passing, so I thought I'd tell some stories about our fight and relationship and send prayers to his friends and family.

Are elite athletes, particularly accomplished wrestlers, prone to experiencing stroke? Researching that question energizes Dr. Christen Kutz partly because it applies to her husband Jason, as well as his longtime friend The Spaniard. Dr. K might soon present the findings thus far to the American Academy of Neurology. In this episode she touches on the possible role of concussions, among many other factors, but also why she urges wrestlers and other risk-takers to continue to pursue their passions.

Here’s great stuff NOT in the book! Oops, first this background: You’ll recall pro wrestler, podcaster and author Mike Kinney (aka Cowboy Gator Magraw) from Talks episodes 136 and 399, as well as from Books #1486, when Spanny praised Mike’s book ”A Pro Wrestler’s Guide to Confidence,” based on his popular TED Talk. But here are new, fascinating stories of Mike’s boyhood pro wrestling dreams and his intrepid pro wrestling promotions as a teenager, plus how a broadcaster’s error helped lead to his book.

I can remember the first time I heard of Square, and I can remember receiving that little white square phone attachment. How was this free? I can just swipe someone's credit card and sell a shirt? It seemed too easy to be true, revolutionary. Author/founder Jim McKelvey (and eventual Twitter founder Jack Dorsey) set out to "square up" the credit card industry, and this is how they did it.

It took some doing, but Spanny landed an interview with the author of a book that he recently discussed: ”The Rugged Life.” Clint Emerson is well-versed on the topic. You’ll hear him discuss how he grew up in a tense environment as a Texas native raised in repressive Saudi Arabia … which led to a career as a Navy SEAL … and then to his current occupations as a crisis management consultant and author of the bestselling ”100 Deadly Skills” survival guides.

We know upstream thinking is beneficial, but we have a tendency to favor downstream efforts. We focus on fixing problems rather than preventing them. Why? The answer to that, and much more on today's episode.

Feedback is one of those things that can help and also hurt. If you're going to ask for it, you better be ready to receive it. And if you don't ask for it, there's a good chance it's coming your way.

If I stop, it stops. I hope you enjoy this latest episode of forging my path forward.

This week's Books episode is not about a book. It's about my practice of reading and how this part of the show came to be. It's also about recent progress in business that has left less time to read and created new situations that I've got to work through. With Dread's sage advice, we're moving forward one Books at a time (thought not necessarily a new book each week).

His podcast "Entrepreneurs on Fire" kept me company on many commutes back and forth to training, hours and hours on end. His daily podcast of interviewing entrepreneurs set itself apart in the podcasting world, and he has made a tremendous life from it. In his book, he outlines a plan you can I can use to achieve uncommon success.

What if you could fly right now to Ukraine? Or Iraq? If the thoughts make you pale, take a breath and listen to Rollie Peterkin, a great friend of Spanny and of this show (this is his fourth episode!). Rollie is recording from Ukraine’s capital Kyiv, and he supplies first-person nuances missing from the news. He does the same in praising the hospitality in Iraq … while noting that the overseas perception of the U.S. as a whole is also sadly skewed toward danger and menace. Enjoy this truly global perspective.

There is no way of escaping the feeling of loss. Something that means so much to you that is no longer there. Working so hard toward something, and it goes away. Loss can make you question why you even cared, or even tried. It can make you run far away from the chance at ever feeling that pain again. Or you can face loss, process it, learn from it and move forward. If you do that enough, you'll start to appreciate loss for what it is - a chance to reflect, learn, grow and be grateful for the things you do have. Enjoy my take on the agony of defeat and what it can do for you.

Easy reading, great pictures, great pace. It's one of those books that reinforces that (sometimes faint) voice of confidence in yourself and your ideas.

Overwhelm and exhaustion are common themes in adulting, but they don't have to be killers of your health and fitness. I'll never be OK with looking at young, fit and athletic Charlie as a thing of the past, rather, I see him as a step in the evolution of older, a bit more white-haired and still-fit-father-of-two Charlie.

Ryan Holiday (last week's author) has made Stoic philosophy popular, and one of the works he cites most often is Marcus Aurelius's "Meditations." Never meant for the public, Meditations is comprised of Aurelius's journal entries and thoughts that seem (my words) to be his manifesting philosophy of living a good, meaningful life. This is a really relevant and powerful book that I found very relatable and helpful in my own pursuit of a good, meaningful life.

This week's book takes a look at creativity - where it comes from, what encourages it, what hinders it - so that you and I can create, and be, our realest, most authentic selves. It wasn't until later in life that I began to lean into creativity. It came as a byproduct of speaking, writing and podcasting. You may not currently think of yourself as a creator, nor feel the urge to create, but this book takes creativity and makes it much more doable and relatable.

So as to not rush these episodes, I decided to put in a placeholder episode. As I type this, it's 8:57 PM on Wednesday evening, and we're three days into our vacation to Acadia NP. It's been incredible. My plan is to create two episodes in the next two weeks (one replacing this placeholder episode) to share information about Acadia and our trip that can help you plan future trips to Acadia and other National Parks. I'm no pro (this is our second NP), but it's amazing what you can learn in such short time. Bed is calling. Sunrise on Cadillac Mountain is calling (wakeup time 3:15ish).
The title says it all. This book is about living your life as a pro, leaving the amateur life behind you. It's a decision you make, or you don't make. This is a fast and powerful read meant for someone who's ready to up their game in life. ...

This is as much a book about life as it is about archery hunting. Cameron Hanes has built a life and career around his passion of backcountry bowhunting, and while he shares his story, I see this as a book about his life philosophy. It's a philosophy of humility, hard work, discipline, challenge, adventure, family and more. If you're a person who looks at life with a mindset to challenge, push, grow and explore, and are at least mildly interested in the outdoors/hunting, I think you'll really enjoy this one. ...

Andy Main was on the show nearly 5 years ago (episode 95). This conversation touches on his competing on “The Ultimate Fighter,” but mainly concerns his time as an MMA pro in Japan. Even for a colleague such as Spanny, there are insights into variations in rules (the soccer kick era), training culture (no to tattoos), notoriety (Andy was all over the magazines) and fan conduct (why quietness often reigns during fights).

Imagine retiring after 18 years at your final job and not rememberinbg most of that time. That is the case with Janet Eldred, the wife of Dread (behind-the-scenes phantom of Spanny’s podcast), due to her early-stage dementia. As Janet leaves her position as a public library director, Dread (under his seldom-used legal name, Keith Eldred) recently helped her mail a farewell letter that requested conversations such as this, to inform Janet of what has slipped away. There’s much overlap with Spanny and the library, where he has held multiple events. Good times (even if not recalled).

Imagine saying this to a friend with a Tesla: “Drive at 65 mph until your battery dies. I’ll run that far in 72 hours.” That’s essentially what Robbie Balenger did in April of 2022, and his effort made global headlines, because the target distance was 242 miles. He tells Spanny how he’d built up the credibility and support for the attempt, with a record that included running across the U.S in 75 days (43 miles per day). And this was after only 8 years as a serious runner. Why does Robbie do this? Listen for his explanation of running as the inverse of drugs.

Growing up a wrestler, I never thought about creativity in the artistist sense. I can't dance. I'm not very good at art. I can't remember lyrics. I'm a pretty analytical guy. But as I've grown older and life has transformed, I've begun to find my inner creative self (fancy way of saying I create more stuff). I've found joy in taking things I've learned or done in life and tranforming them into something others can enjoy/benefit from. I'm still a terrible dancer with very little artistic vision in the standard sense, but if I can learn to be creative, you can learn to be creative. Today's book shares ten principles that will help you discover your own artistic self. ...

For Steve DeCaspers, the sandwich is reframed. That’s one example in this discussion between Central Pennsylvania natives who go way back (okay, West-Central, as they discuss). A sandwich is choices about meat, cheese, veggies, bread, condiments—not to mention chips and drink on the side!—that Steve now makes differently, along with other eating decisions. Worrisome patterns in his life led him to a retreat (see rockspringsrc.com) where he quickly, healthily lost 38 pounds and gained a new mindset. Note: During the talk, Spanny mentions recent related episodes: 384 on Nutrition and 387 on Training.

By way of these experiments and by attaching AC to death (another piece of history AND a marketing strategy by Team DC), the war of standards continued to wage on.

Thought confused, Chase starts to really dive into his past and the type of person he was.

Spanny met Dima Shine in Cincinnati and came to learn how he made his way from Russia to his current home in Las Vegas. It began with recognition of Dima's potential in acrobat sports, ultimately fulfilled with dozens of world championship medals and years of performance with Cirque du Soleil. Dima tells Spanny how he transitioned to solo engagements and to founding Shine, his alternative fitness studio. As you'll hear, Dima is a thoughtful cat (as agile as the real animal) with great perspective on motivation, fulfillment and where to seek true meaning in life.
One of my favorite takeaways from this book is how Dave Grohl was always dedicating himself and practicing his music, such that when opportunities arose, he was ready. And not only was he ready, he excelled. He put himself in a position to win. Over and over again.

But after Charlie grew up, became The Spaniard, and read the book ”Dear Highlights,” he longed to talk to Christine—and his wish came true in this episode. Christine’s book draws on 75 years of letters to Highlights—each of them answered with care—and brings out patterns that are priceless to know. ”Kids crave connection,” Christine emphasizes, and she hopes that this book inspires adults to lean in and listen. Spanny certainly does that. You’ll hear why no book has ever had greater impact on his own mission.

This episode shares the story of 7-year-old Emily, who escaped a monster: Cancer too strong for chemotherapy but defeated by Emily’s own immune cells, reprogrammed to kill her disease cells, immediately and forever. This was a triumph of science but also of faith. In this episode, Tom Whitehead, Emily’s father, describes the miraculous whispers that helped guide him, his wife Kari, and Emily along the terrifying path to survival. A native of Central Pennsylvania (just like the Spaniard), Emily is now a thriving teenager who travels the world with her family sharing their experience, which offers hope and saves lives.

If Ben Mezrich’s title ”The Anti-Social Network” sounds familiar, there’s a reason. He wrote the book that led to the standout film ”The Social Network.” He also wrote the nonfiction basis for the card-counting heist drama ”21” and many other books. His newest work recounts a daring raid on Wall Street by everyday investors, on track to become yet another movie. Listen in to better understand the story about GameStop’s soaring stock value that became huge news in early 2021—as well as the work of one of today’s most influential story-tellers.

Here’s a talk between two guys who know the lows and highs of competing as world-class athletes, as well as the glow of youth development. Spanny connected with James McGee through James’ versatile role for the Inspiring Children Foundation, and he learned of James’ decade-long career playing tennis professionally, during which he cracked the Top 150 in the world and defeated many Top 50 players. But his early career included matches without spectators, food poisoning and plenty of bathtub laundry sessions. It all helped prepare him to share the priceless meaning of ”grind to shine.”

At nickbare.com, Nick Bare headlines his personal story ”Straight Passion & No Sleep.” That’s how he built his business, Bare Performance Nutrition, starting as a college junior and continuing through service as an Army Ranger and Platoon Leader and into years of grinding it out with his little brother in Texas. In this talk with Spanny, which whom he shares connections to Team RWB, Nick highlights the hellish, cash-strapped year of 2017 and how he’s adjusted his schedule since getting married.

After getting tired of anti-immigrant bullies as a teen, dropping out of high school, and sleeping in his van, Shaahin Cheyene rode the rave wave to making millions from his legal party drug Herbal Ecstasy. He tells Spanny all about it, plus how he moved on to trading emails with Jeff Bezos in the early days of Amazon and developing an actual version of the ”smart pill” from the movie ”Limitless”—after chatting about the notion with that film’s star Bradley Cooper. Also, listen for Cheyene’s offer to take one of his Amazon Mastery courses ($200 value) for free.

Lucy Westlake is a happy person. You can hear it in her voice (while recording from a car!) as she talks to Spanny about her loved ones, her college plans, and her work for for the WaterStep program that helps bring water to places where it’s most needed. Lucy’s life is built on faith, family and adventure—by age 17 (two months before this episode) she had climbed the highest points in all 50 states, as well as Kilimanjaro and other peaks around the globe. If all of this reminds you of your youth, you’re a marvel as well.

As of this recording, the book by Spanny’s guest Patrick Leddin, ”The 5-Week Leadership Challenge," will release soon, on Patrick’s 30th wedding anniversary. That’s a fitting date because the book grew from his life and business partnership with his wife Jaime, who figures into key stories that Patrick shares here, as well as learnings from his military and consulting careers. Patrick explains the multiple ways that his book overlaps with iconic business title ”The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," so don’t be surprised when you start hearing about Patrick’s book everywhere. And the Dierks Bentley story that Patrick tells? You also heard that here first.

This book has reinforced that things are not always simple. That there are many sides to any situation or equation. "Right" is not THE thing, rather A thing. Life is ugly and beautiful at the same time, and we humans are in it together, regardless of how you feel about that. My intent with today's sendoff episode is to leave you thinking.

This is kind of an anniversary because of the notable episode count—this is #350 of Talks, which are usually interviews from all walks of life, sometimes conversations with Dread or others, and other times solosodes, as in this case. Spanny is alone on the mic giving updates in two broad areas—Business and Personal—that have evolved significantly over 350 episodes. In business, changes have included refining the ”product” that he delivers, starting to learn how to promote, and better understanding the roles of luck and networking. In personal matters, Spanny finds that he questions more in all directions (even details of brushing his teeth!) and has come to consciously choose his battles as well as more deeply perceive the frailty of life. As he explains, all of this is simply about living life better.

Dan Doty really liked Spanny’s question early in this talk, which boiled down to, ”How can I relate you to other outdoorsmen that I know?” Because it’s hard for Spanny to connect those others to Dan’s interest in natural medicines, shamanism, emotional health and spirituality. Dan calls this his Uncle Test, because he has family members who don’t see the world the way he does. But everyone has emotions, he notes—even men!—and he knows how to guide people toward the healing, sustaining gifts of nature. Sometimes through some wild (literally) means. Enjoy this talk with a huge-hearted, wide-open-minded guy who also latched onto Spanny’s analogy of ”that max hot wing that I can really eat and like.” (Listen for it!)

Ryan Wolfington learned firsthand that huge success might not bring contentment. He sailed through life with everything—family wealth, a taste for parties, and high ambition that led to his own riches—but he felt empty. Fortunately, he found purpose in helping prepare youth for healthy, meaningful lives centered on listening to their own inner guidance but also steered by those with lived experience. He tells Spanny how the organic growth of his Inspiring Children Foundation came to intertwine with the parallel philosophy and efforts of the singer Jewel. This episode ties to Talks 331 with Cherrial Odell, a graduate and now an intern for ICF, as well as to the Spaniard’s series on Jewel’s memoir ”Never Broken,” Books 1216 through 1220.

Here’s a classic friend-of-a-friend episode. The Spaniard’s previous guest, Rollie Peterkin, urged a talk with his fellow Penn wrestler and graduate Ben Reiter, and it’s a great one. Ben tells Spanny how his family’s strong wrestling tradition helped them all through tragedy and how his drive to help others led him to humanitarian work in Peru. While there he also fought professionally, persevered to learn Spanish and ultimately formed a family that now lives in Philadelphia, where Ben works with the organization Beat the Streets to aid at-risk youth.

Memorial Day is coming soon, and with it the online premiere of a powerful drama rightfully called ”the most realistic stage presentation brought to film about the true cost of war, made by the warriors and families who lived it.” This is ”Last Out: Elegy of a Green Beret,” written by The Spaniard’s guest in this episode, Ret. Lt. Col. Scott Mann, who also acts in the film with three other military veterans. Scott's 23 years in the U.S. Army, including 18 as a Green Beret, gave way to an agonizing transition to civilian life. Storytelling saved him, both as he shared his post-traumatic stress experience individually and through a one-man show from which came his one-act play ”Last Out.” After touring the country to powerful effect, then going dark due to COVID in 2020, the show is now a film. To see it debut on May 31, 2021, Memorial Day, register at lastoutplay.com or lastoutfilm.com.

Drew Manning did it again. He’s well known as the Fit 2 Fat 2 Fit guy, a ripped fitness instructor who purposely gained and then lost 75 pounds to gain empathy with his personal training clients. That was at age 30. He decided to do it again at age 40 so he could better understand the component of aging, and he talked to Spanny about it last fall (Episode 311). This time, it was a 60-pound gain over 4 months, and a loss of the same over the following 4 months. Now he’s back to fit and back with The Spaniard, sharing about his fresh grasp on the challenges for people who have been off track with emotion-numbing food and a defeatist mindset—not just for months but for years or even decades.

In 2011, The Spaniard entered the Octagon to face the fearsome Anthony "Rumble" Johnson, and let's just say that things went better for Rumble. One upside: This gave The Spaniard a great illustration on training hard, facing fears, believing in yourself, and moving on from defeat. Another upside: We all get to hear this great conversation--Spanny's first with a former opponent. It brims with good humor and mutual respect. If only we could all survive a TKO against a guy like fighter, entrepreneur and dog lover Anthony "Rumble" Johnson. By the way, he also appears in a pivotal scene in the great MMA movie "Warrior."

Jessica Lahey has an active mind and life! Lawyer, teacher, wife, mom, author … and she's aiming to open a recovery high school to support kids who are especially at risk due to issues such as addiction and abuse. During the week of this episode, The Spaniard is podcasting about Jessica’s best seller ”The Gift of Failure,” which helps parents learn how and where to let up on kids for their own good, rather than hovering and intervening. Jessica discusses her own addiction history … the intervention that helped her turn around … her rigorous research that helps bring clarity to parents and educators … mistakes that she has made with her own kids … the importance of accepting constructive criticism (a weakness of hers) … working hard to land with a supremely-helpful editor … and much more.
This book is chock full of ways to improve your parenting, and today we touch on three of them - modeling, proper encouragement and household participation.

Drew Manning did before, now he’s doing it again—pursuing a calling to eat junk and stop exercising. Yep, you read that right. You might already know of his original Fit2Fat2Fit journey in 2011 from countless media sources, as well as The Spaniard’s podcast episode #118 in September of 2017. Back then, Drew purposely gained and then lost 75 pounds in extreme devotion to increasing empathy for his clients as a fitness and nutrition trainer. Now he’s in the middle of gaining at least 60 pounds by his 40th birthday at the end of 2020 to (wait for it) expand his empathy for those passing that metabolic milestone. This time he's calling it Fit2Fat2Forty, and social media is letting real-time followers gain critical insights into how supposedly ”healthy” foods (some vegan, Paleo, and other offerings) can be misused. Belly up to the transformation!

I've been waiting anxiously for him to release his second book, "The Art of Resilience", since that time. This book details Ross's "Great British Swim" around Great Britain, becoming the first person to swim the 3200 km (1,988 mile) journey.

An interest in the Carlisle Indian Industrial School led The Spaniard to this discussion with Neal McCaleb, a member of the Chickasaw Nation who helps lead its economic development projects. He talks to The Spaniard about experiencing prejudice and serving in multiple positions in Oklahoma state government and as the U.S. Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Indian Affairs. He shares his deep knowledge of American Indian boarding schools such as Carlisle—their questionable intent and mixed results that ranged from alienating students from family and neighbors to the innovation of the forward pass in football.

The Coronavirus has forced many of us to sit back and reassess, perhaps moving forward in a new direction and/or doing some of the things we've thought of doing but didn't have the time. Well, for me, recording the audiobook version of "DRIVEN: My Unlikely Journey from Classroom to Cage" is one of those things. Finally, I sat down and recorded it, AND I'm giving it away for free. Enjoy this sample!

Like most of us, Dean Karnazes has found it easier to run a 200-mile race alone rather than trading off with teammates. And he celebrated his 30th birthday the traditional way—by running 30 miles. Okay, okay, those things are fun to say, but Dean Karnazes is a rare specimen who makes his living by testing his limits in ultramarathons and then sharing insights in inspiring books and talks. The Spaniard learned of Dean through his brother Scott, and that makes this discussion all the more special.

The growing network of Spaniard contacts led to Dr. Jim Rentz, Sr., a retired marriage & family therapist inspired to help work toward peace after serving as a U.S. Army Chaplain during the Vietnam War. Perhaps destiny led here as well, since Jim is a stroke survivor, because this talk happened 9 years to the day after Spanny’s own stroke. Jim discusses the turmoil that led him and his wife to adopt a Vietnamese orphan … surviving bitterness as a scorned veteran … appreciating the resilience of his father after tuberculosis … and more.

Spanny and Dread have pulled back the curtain on the Spaniard enterprise before, but this takes the curtain right off the rod! Or something like that. Because no Dreadisode has ever gotten closer to one of their actual business development talks. Dread did not even know what they were going to talk about, so his responses were exactly what he would have babbled about off the mics. As Spanny considers how to update his website, the guys chew over where things stand with the ”World’s Toughest Lifelong Learner” message. The talk ends up pulling in Stoicism, Mike Rowe, the Rock, the TV show ”Monk” and more. You’re a fly on the wall. Enjoy the view.

Self-image and esteem is (in my opinion) one of the biggest challenges young people face, and I also believe that developing one's self-image/esteem is one of the best strategies to deal w/ adversities and challenges in life. Today's book is "a book of poetic declarations of body positivity and self-love for all young girls," and as a grown man, I can tell you this theme is universal.

Back when he taught history to fifth graders, Todd McClimans made lessons come alive by assigning historical novels. But he couldn’t find one to his liking for the American Revolution—so he wrote his own! His two follow-up books help kids explore the Civil War, and another is on the way. Todd’s pathway to becoming an educator-author stretches back to devouring the Chronicles of Narnia as a child, writing his own Hardy Boys book, studying creative writing in college, and publishing a fantasy novel (but not the prequel and sequel that he also finished!). This is a good talk between two education pros who just want the best for kids.

Chad and Julie Anthony met as junior high schoolers in the Spaniard’s hometown of Hollidaysburg and later married and embarked on Chad’s Air Force career. Now they have children and grandchildren—the youngest of whom tragically passed away as an infant. In memory of darling Aspen Jayne, Chad and Julie channeled heartbreak into Aspen’s Impact, a nonprofit dedicated to aiding orphaned and vulnerable children in Uganda. The initial goal of $30,000 is now $1 million. As of this episode, the project has raised over $120,000 and has launched a campus that will transform the future for thousands of young students, many of whom lack food and other basics. Listen, be inspired, and please help as you are able by finding Aspen’s Impact on Facebook.

Joe Solecki’s first 10 years in combat sports were a test. From ages 6 to 16 he won 2 or 3 times total. But he felt at home in his sport of jiu jitsu, and look at him now! He’s a black belt and a UFC lightweight.

At their first meeting, The Spaniard sized up tall, lean Josh Crosby as a runner. Come to find out, he was a national-class rower who had inflicted pain on opponents by bearing as much as he could during races. He and Spanny compare notes on laugh-crying at bringing punishment upon themselves. In college Josh was a ”Boy in the Boat,” as in the book by that name, right down to training in blizzard conditions. Later, in addition to up-and-down experiences as a model, actor and adventure racer, he built companies that now promote indoor rowing and aid in recovery from workouts and other types of high performance.

Quick, name the only four ways to be wealthy. You can’t? You’ll learn in this episode as Jonathan Turner talks finances with The Spaniard. Jonathan is a wealth management expert who energetically differentiates himself from those he considers scam artists—you may have seen one or two or a dozen in videos on your digital screens, trying to vacuum up your cash. Jonathan made a point of going a non-video route with his first book “Stop Faking It, Start Making It: Millennial's Guide to Real Wealth Creation”. You’ll hear about its twisty-turns path to completion. The guys also talk cars. JT is all about wheels, and you’ll hear how a Dodge Viper played a role in bringing together these two tycoons on their way up.

Like the Spaniard, Coyte Cooper was a Division 1 wrestler and is now a podcaster, speaker and author seeking to help improve lives—not to mention a devoted husband and father of two (in this episode, Spanny talks about how Coyte’s thoughts improved his parenting). They’re even the same age. Importantly, Spanny and CC also relate in having experienced jarring losses and disappointments that led them to deep searching and the development of strong habits that they now feel compelled to share.

Talk about timing: Here’s a perfect episode for a new year and desire for new beginnings. Chris Marhefka helps point the way. He and his wife Carlee fit an entrepreneurial life into an RV that visits all corners of the U.S. This came from a conviction that you can indeed have it all: Success and enjoyment. And that came from exposure to a Dude-like figure (as in ”The Big Lebowski”) whose relaxed energy opened a new vision: Life can flow with ease and grace, and perception makes all the difference. That helped Chris meet goals such as owning multiple businesses that he can just let run and grow by means of processes and trust in his teams. You know it’s an uplifting episode when it leads toward the message ”People are amazing.”

Mike Salemi returns! The Spaniard ran into him at the Spartan Mediafest in the fall and leapt at the opportunity to work out with him and record another talk, except this time in person. Given Mike’s expertise, it would be perfectly appropriate to grab a kettlebell before you listen. The guys discuss his ultra-thorough kettlebell course, which encompasses 500+ videos and culminates Mike’s lifetime of work of study and competition. This discussion goes beyond building wellness to building a business and fortifying your spirit during the process, particularly with the help of mentors.

Welcome to the book-nerdiest episode yet! (In the best possible way) Spanny loves the the Medal of Honor series of middle-grade nonfiction, so he reached out to author Michael Spradlin. They discuss small-town childhood (including Michael’s solo jaunt to the library as a two-year-old) and tips for would-be authors and parents who want to raise readers. Michael takes us through interesting milestones: Reading Hardy Boys by flashlight … joining heroes such as London, Asimov and Bradbury in getting published in ”Boys Life” … flubbing a try at the Lawrence Block approach, but still receiving an Edgar Award nomination for his first book. You’ll get glimpses of the night-owl writing and research that yields new books such as Michael’s upcoming release that describe Jimmy Carter’s radioactive pee. Yes, you read that right. What an episode!

This episode was a long time coming in a number of ways. For a good while, The Spaniard has been meaning to record with his grandparents—his Nam and Pap, Charles ”Chick” and Betty Brenneman. It finally happened, and this episode published the day before their 72nd wedding anniversary. Both farm kids, Nam and Pap discuss chores, attending country school, 25 cent movies, building their family cabin and its outhouse, cooking, hunting and more. You’ll hear about some close calls along the way, but hard work has kept them kicking.
Note from The Spaniard: I had every intention of writing this show intro, but Dread nailed it above. You'll hear my love and appreciation of family history and documentation in the intro and throughout the episode, but yes, this was a really special interview and something I feel lucky to have captured.

I've been inspired by Mister Rogers for the past few years as I develop my speaking/podcasting/writing career, and I was fortunate to come across this picture book version of his story. (I also covered a great biography about him called The Good Neighbor on AMXbooks). AND it's extra special to cover this book this week bc "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" comes out on Thursday.

It makes sense to start a book about heroes on Veterans Day. Happy Veterans Day to all the men and women who've served our country and fought for our freedom.
Natural Born Heroes is an awesome book that covers human potential, strength and endurance, Greek philosophy/wisdom, hand to hand combat, history and more. This is an exciting, entertaining and educational read. Enjoy the show!

This special Veterans Day episode will introduce you to a new definition of HEART, an acronym of reasons why young Americans join the military. You will also learn a new way to give heart to service members who are soon to pass away. The Spaniard’s guest, Col. Claude Schmid, founded Veteran Last Patrol to bring friendship to veterans in hospice care. Claude knows the importance of having a chance to tell your story—he saw it during his mother’s visits to a dying friend, as well while leading the Army’s Wounded Warrior Flight program, which welcomed thousands of injured and ill soldiers back from Iraq and Afghanistan for medical treatment. Please listen for how any of us, including those with no military background, can help.

Today's episode is a bit different than traditional Kids episodes. We're going to take a look at the inner workings of my youth presentations and the evolution of AMXkids. I've learned a ton since starting the kids segment of The Spaniard Show and speaking to thousands of students in the past several years, and I'm only growing more passionate about it.

September and October have been extremely difficult for the Brennemans. The Spaniard Show is a documentation of my life and experience, so I felt it appropriate to share what we're experiencing and answer questions (that we've been receiving via phone/social media).

Please note: This episode includes details of a terrible accident (14:15-15:25) and resulting treatment (16:15-17:45). Shay Eskew is world-class as an Ironman (that glorious and grueling race) and an iron man (as in tough as they come), thriving as a childhood burn survivor and an executive raising five kids with his wife Brooke. He talks to The Spaniard about staying positive and fitting in his training no matter what. They bond on multiple levels: Husbands, dads, athletes, authors and speakers. If you never fully appreciated the work of Shriners Hospitals, Shay’s story will change that. And if you’ve never heard about a good prank based on losing an appendage, this episode will fix that as well.

What have Jeff Depatie and his team created in The Special Forces Experience? His wife and co-founder Jessica originally called it a ”man camp,” but it has a depth that separates it from anything you might picture. In this conversation with Jeff, The Spaniard refers to it as "the least 'retreat' retreat ever." It’s more a confront than a retreat. It's a supremely-demanding journey through The Process, a life-changing program involving months of physical, mental and spiritual preparation leading to a grueling 8-day wilderness gauntlet and then more evaluation and reflection. Jeff Depatie is a veteran of Canadian special forces, a careful and persistent planner, and a man of vision.

Two conversations this time! At West Point's Diversity and Inclusion Leadership Conference, The Spaniard got to know two graduates who made history as cadets and proceeded to admirable careers of service. Each was the first African-American to hold his prestigious cadet position. General Vincent Brooks (U.S. Army, Ret.) became Cadet First Captain (joining the likes of Robert E. Lee and Douglas MacArthur) on his way to earning four stars and spending time in 80 different countries over a 38-year military career, with his final command United States Forces Korea. The Honorable Adrian Perkins (Captain, U.S. Army, Ret.) became class president as a cadet, received a Bronze Star while serving in the middle east, graduated Harvard Law and ran for his current position as mayor of his hometown, Shreveport, Louisiana. Both men emphasize the power of embracing differences to help reach big group goals. General Brooks comes first. Mayor Perkins begins at 33:10.

Boy, there's a great dichotomy that exist between listening to/NOT listening to experts. And sometimes it's because the experts are "experts." Do the work. Learn. Become an expert, or at least well-versed enough to have the conversation. Ask away, but also learn away.

The Spaniard heard John Nores on some favorite podcasts and reached out. John’s book ”Hidden War” describes the jaw-dropping ways that game wardens bravely combat black market cannabis grow sites that steal water and poison the surroundings with toxic pesticides. John became a game warden to protect wildlife and execute traditional tasks such as checking fishing licenses, stopping poachers and teaching hunter safety. He and his colleagues could never have foreseen that the work would come to require detecting and defeating the efforts of drug cartels. This means surviving gunfights, stabbings, booby traps, poison dog bait and more—often within eyeshot of Google, Facebook and other tech giants in Silicon Valley. This is the demanding, rewarding, vital life on the Thin Green Line.

Forrest Galante is the host of Animal Planet’s show ”Extinct or Alive,” on which he searches for—and regularly finds—animals on the brink of extinction. Who does that kind of thing?! Only someone with Forrest’s passions and background: Raised on a farm in Zimbabwe … youthful pastimes such as trapping jackals and crocodiles … sleeping in a roomful of reptiles … playing rugby as a teen against grown men … setting world records as a free diver. You’ll hear all about it, and you’ll be glad that Forrest left behind workdays as a science tech completing tasks such as counting ants (true story!)

Derek Fitzgerald often refers to himself as ”We” because he received another person’s heart in January 2011. Honoring that donor inspired him to rebuild into his strongest self. He has now completed six Iron Man triathlons and is training for two more this year. He talks with Spanny about the journey from super-fit marching band member to overeater to cancer survivor to a cardiac patient awake only one hour a day, unable to leave his bed … until a still-unknown hero gave him the gift of a future.

Travis Mills is huge in spirit, in heart and in sense of humor. He’s the kind of guy to joke that he would give an arm and a leg twice over to serve his country, and help other troops—because he did. As a U.S. Army staff sergeant on his third tour in Afghanistan, a bomb took most of all four of his limbs. Now recalibrated (his preferred term), he, wife Kelsey and a dedicated team host hundreds of veteran families each year at retreats that help them adapt to new realities and absorb Travis’ mantra: ”Never give up. Never quit.” Be ready to laugh along with Travis and The Spaniard as they talk. Or don’t be—you’ll laugh anyway. And you’ll admire.

Today's episode carries a really powerful message and reminder to refrain from judging others.

Within the past year, I can remember walking into Barnes & Noble and seeing a book ("Capital Gaines") with a guy named Chip Gaines on the cover. I thought, "Who the heck is Chip Gaines, and why does he have a book?" Little did I know. I kept on walking. Not long after, my wife started watching Fixer Upper on HGTV religiously, and I got hooked. Turns out this Chip Gaines is quite a hilarious fellow, and he and his wife, Joanna, are one of the coolest couples on TV. I'm so excited to bring this book to the show. It emanates goodness.

It's been a tremendous opportunity to learn from Travis, and we end this AMXbooks series with some of his guiding wisdom. We also take a look at what he does now to help wounded and disabled veterans get a new chance at life (Travis Mills Foundation).

One of the things I remember most from Travis's interview on Jocko Podcast (the first time I heard his story) was his description of the extreme phantom pains he felt in the hospital. It blew my mind. Today, we talk about that pain and how he overcame it. Intense to say the least.

Riley Cote returns! Back in AMXtalks 137, he and The Spaniard mainly discussed his career as an NHL enforcer. This time, the talk is about Riley’s advocacy for cannabis in its various forms: CBD products, medical cannabis, hemp and more. You’ll hear about Hemp Heals Hockey, a youth sports camp advising on overall wellness … the politics behind cannabis prohibition and the term ”marijuana” … Henry Ford’s all-hemp car … and even a little about plants just as misunderstood and undervalued as cannabis: mushrooms.
In today's reading, Travis's family and friends share with us their immediate reactions following the news of his injury in combat. We also get presented with another example of Travis's strength of character and duty to his men. If you're having a tough day, listen in. Travis overcame, and so shall you.

Today's episode is a lesson on honesty and integrity. Marc learns first hand the importance of honesty and integrity as it relates to training BJJ with Danny. NOTE: This is a powerful episode for myself personally, as I share my own experiences similar to Marc's. Reading this kids' book has helped me sort some out some things that haven't sat well with me. This is a very honest episode about ideals that I hold near and dear and have fallen short of in the past.
Today, we take a look at the different ways soldiers experience memories from combat, Travis's two senses of duty he felt simultaneously (family/military) and a solider's perspective of the then-new Rules of Engagement.

Settle in as The Spaniard receives therapy. Today’s guest helps him work through everything getting in his way. Okay, that’s only one way to look at this episode. Mental performance coach Brian Levenson helps top athletes, executives and other leaders reach and surpass their highest aims by understanding and managing their own thoughts and patterns. The topics include gaining confidence through repetition, the importance of close listening, exploring polarities (upsides and downsides that can vary with context), frame of mind during public speaking, taking things personally, and just what ”mental tools” are, anyway.

Today, we dive into the upbringing of Travis Mills, and how his small-town upbringing forged character that become part of his fabric and shined through at the most important times. We also take a look the benefit of how sports and the military share a common connection to something bigger than ourselves.

This is tremendous book and story about Travis Mills, who was severely wounded in Afghanistan. In this AMXbooks series, we're going to talk about courage, selflessness, purpose, personality, keeping going, humility and so much more. I met Travis briefly last summer and recently had the opportunity to interview him for the show (will publish after we finish talking about the book). This is a special one.

Redemption. Will. Perseverance. Complexity. Those are the words that come to mind as I close the last chapter in the book "Tiger Woods." This has been a fascinating look at one of the best athletes of all time. We leave with Tiger a much more human, fallible man, and one that has once again reached the top of the spot.

As The Spaniard knows first-hand from going way back with this episode's young guest, Aubrey Dawson has loved wrestling nearly forever. Before he reached middle school, he was practicing year-round and hitting tournaments every weekend. But then a severe concussion transformed his purpose. For a time, Aubrey didn’t know his own name, his own parents, and even carrots! (as you will hear) Six months after recovering, Aubrey suffered another concussion, and wrestling was over for him. But that spurred him to pursue another dream—through-hiking the Appalachian Trail with his dad. He tells The Spaniard about his gear, waking up to blizzard conditions, recovering from ankle injuries, enduring mosquitoes, and aiming to break trail records. He took five. million. steps, people.

Matt McLoota is an in-demand director who worked hard to negotiate the entertainment gauntlet and is still grinding.

I'm not gonna lie, today is a hard one, as I'm a big fan of Tiger Woods. We learn about some of Tiger's not-so-good characteristics and how others perceived him negatively. It raises an interesting question of what one must give up in the pursuit of greatness, or perhaps, if one has to give up anything at all. Boy, I'd love to facilitate this conversation in a classroom setting!

I found today's reading to be especially interesting because it dealt w/ Tiger's transition from amateur to professional golf. It was neat to learn about his early sponsorship deals and everything else that went along with turning pro. It was in stark contrast to my experience in becoming a professional fighter (our stock was just a bit different, obviously, but the sports in general are so different). Enjoy!

I love and aspire to greatness and excellence, and that's exactly why I'm reading this book. I'm not particularly interested in golf, nor do I know the first thing about it, but I am interested in learning about someone who changed the face of a sport and a generation. And he's still going. That's Tiger Woods.

It’s been a while since we heard from Dread, that mysterious guy who helps out with Spaniard efforts. This talk brings us up to speed on the possibly-insane plan of Dread and his wife Janet to raise $1 million for their public library, where Janet still serves as director despite her diagnosis of early-stage dementia. The plan is called This is RED (see www.thisis.red) and centers on Dread’s ”Great American Novel” (his humble assessment) called ”Rubrum” (Latin for ”Red”). You’ll learn the secret basis of the novel and how you can help out as an advance reader. The Spaniard’s new book is at a similar stage, and the guys compare notes on the glorious struggle of trying to turn a dream that might appear stupid into a reality that was clearly stupendous all along.

Today, I'm going to share some trivia I'd guess 99.9% of people do not know about the history of Hershey, even though it was such a big part of Hershey's story.

At the time of this recording, the guest was the newest colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve—or one of the newest, because he had just been promoted. He is a combat veteran and lawyer who has served in the Army JAG Corps for over 18 years (fun fact: It is the oldest law firm in the United States). So naturally, the conversation opens on thrash metal music and closes with winching a junk car. Wait, what? Oh, didn’t we mention that this admirable servant leader is The Spaniard’s oldest brother, Scott? Now you get it. Besides their cherished shared history, these two Brenneman men discuss Ironman training, West Point, The Law of Armed Conflict, and … oh yeah, putting a luggage carrier on a sportscar.

Here come the latest behind-the-scenes details as The Spaniard and Dread shape a sustainable, profitable enterprise centered on this podcast. This discussion involves pivots (shifting operations due to new situations, desires, aims or understandings), experiments (trying stuff to better use resources) and products (creating things of value). Those three initials unintentionally spell P-E-P, and a business does kinda revolve around energy, so let’s go with it! Spanny PEP-ily explains a pivot away from live streaming while recording, some experiments in marketing, and the twisty-turny path to producing his new book.

My history with Hershey (home the the PIAA state wrestling championships), 2. The role Milton Hershey's example plays in the development of my own business and 3. I live ten minutes from Hershey, and it's a big part of my family's life. Enjoy today's intro episode in what is an extraordinary account of one man's utopian vision turned reality.

Death, "the way" and acceptance wrap up our journey with The Untethered Soul. What a tremendous read. On its cover is the quote, "Read this book carefully and you will get more than a glimpse of eternity." Well, I've read it carefully, and I highly recommend you do as well.

In my life, I've asked myself (and answered myself) a thousand times..."Do you want it?" The echoing answer "yes" never goes away, yet it's rarely without challenge. The work never stops. Today's show examines a variation of that question, as well as connect one of my favorite mentors, Mister Rogers, to our current book.

Marisa Zerby knows—with SCIENCE—how to craft A Lovely Living. The science part is training that made her a True Color Expert able to make perfect recommendations for home decor. Her lifetstyle blog alovelyliving.com abounds with ideas for style, food, DIY projects and more. Does Marisa sound like a surprising guest for a podcast from a pro fighter? Not when that fighter is all about learning, any kind of learning, like The Spaniard! Not to mention that Marisa is married to Spanny’s long-time friend (and guest on AMXtalks 85) Jack Zerby. Jack sits in on this conversation about following passions and simultaneously building a family and business. If only Marisa had been on hand to advise Spanny against a recent use of paint in his family’s current apartment … (Listen for that)

Where you focus your energy is what you become. So much of this book is about focusing on the here and now, not allowing past and future to dictate where we are presently. We are encouraged to keep a clear mind and fully live each experience. This idea pertains to the relationships we have and how we do/don't use our relationships to formulate our own happiness. We're getting pretty deep, but stay the course. This path can be lonely, but it's well worth it.

Does change scare you? Why? Are you OK with change? Why? It's a common fear that many of us share, so if you do feel fear of change, you're not alone. Today, we talk about that fear, extend it out to negativity in general, and the effect that negativity has on those around us. If you've heard me talk about Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, you'll recognize a commonality in the two books re this frequency. And finally, as with yesterday's episode, I present another great visual given to us bwo of the book. Enjoy!

There’s no freakin’ way to do justice to this episode in a description. This is THE FIRST TALK EVER between The Spaniard and Frank Luna (@frankaluna), introduced to him by the legendary Jackie DellaTorre (@chapstickeater) of Episode 215 and The Spaniard's memoir "Driven." The guys just hit go and recorded. Frank shares his unique story: South Jersey boy experiencing the Parkway and having porches and foyers turned into bedrooms … contributing to political efforts from his early teens … working for four losing campaigns in a row before helping Chris Christie become governor and later becoming burned out on his staff … then entering and exiting political consulting, not to mention a serious relationship. Frank brings us up to today, when he is living a mostly-happy life in and out of a 1985 Vanagon and is soon to start National Guard boot camp after snagging an age waiver. Whew. What a first ride together these two shared. P.S. You’ll hear that Frank made up the VERY SAME WORD as Spanny! It’s an act of Luna-cy as well as a Spaniardism!

This book is full of great visuals to accompany somewhat abstract concepts, and today is one of those visuals. We talk about our tendency to cling to/push away experiences and the effect of doing so. How many times in your life have you heard..."Just let it go"? A lot, probably...and, well, you're going to hear it again!

On today's show, I break down some deeper, more abstract spiritual principles into digestible metaphors/mental pictures (I say this being a small town PA'er whose spiritual learnings are relatively fresh). We also examine how getting lost in a great movie can be awesome, but how getting lost in life is missing the boat.

From her early school days in good ol' Hollidaysburg (one year behind the Spaniard), Rebecca Nori (her last name back then) was the girl jazzed by fashion and by finds at the mall. During college, friends ”shopped her closet,” and she continually fielded questions about building outfits. In time, it was only natural for Rebecca to start documenting what she wore on Facebook and on her blog, Mommy in Heels (though she notes that heels have become a sometimes choice for her!). That led to a healthy online following, a brick-and-mortar store and partnerships in fashion influencing. In this chat, she joins her schoolmate and fellow web-trepreneur The Spaniard to trade thoughts on personal and business growth. And speaking of mortar—listen for that word to spark a mini-chat!

It was in another of Jonathan Haidt's books (Coddling of the American Mind) that I first heard the saying, "Prepare the child for the road, not the road for the child." Today's episode focuses on just that, the roles of adversity and overcoming in our lives. You'll walk away with two principles and a Happiness Formula that will put your happiness within your grasp. As with anything worthy in life, you'll have to work for it, but the payoff is one of the greatest: your happiness.

Why is Netflix awesome? Among other reasons, because The Spaniard became even more interested in Marc when he saw him in the much-viewed documentary on the Fyre Festival. It left him thinking, ”This is a really deep guy who leaves me feeling better.” Marc is the Spaniard’s first guest to mention how much he benefited from reading the Tao Te Ching. This discussion offers great insights into trusting yourself even as you respect authority, the limits of choice, an abundance mindset, being thoughtful about technology, and more.

The chapter I discuss on today's show is titled "The Faults of Others." It's very difficult to NOT judge other people, and I believe it is an ideal worthy of our utmost pursuit. Tune in to hear how our natural tendency to overrate and over justify ourselves can lead to problems.

Today, we begin an incredibly cool and insightful book that focuses on some of the primary big questions of our lives: happiness, morality and meaning. I've learned so much from author Jonathan Haidt, and I encourage you to follow his other works (podcasts, books). The Happiness Hypothesis dives into what makes us tick and how we can tip the scales toward happiness.This book is a collection of philosophical wisdom from the past as well as contemporary psychological and social studies.

As we wrap up our time with Tara, I can't help but think of Muhammad Ali's quote, “The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.” Tara's is the story of Education, from deep within her soul. She does not view the world the same today as when she was younger, and I am a better, more empathetic and understanding person because I have read her story. I highly encourage you to read it, as well.

Hey, want to read a private text from The Spaniard? He sent this out after interviewing today’s guest, Kobi Yamada: ”Check out live-inspired.com. The company is Compendium. The guy who runs it is an author of kids books. Awesome ones. This seems to be an ecosystem of feel-goodness. A manifestation (in the form of solid goods) of the idea of living inspired.” That message nails it, because inspiration is exactly what you’ll find in this episode. Kobi and Spanny discuss human connection, making a positive difference, building an uplifting culture and the creation of Kobi’s many books, one of them soon to become an animated film.

Today's episode of AMXbooks shows us that no matter where we start, we have the potential to go far, as we see Tara traveling around the world and self-reflecting on her journey. We also learn a deep truth about history, one that is empowering to each and every one of us.

Have you ever been absolutely 100% certain about something, only to begin questioning yourself? Maybe it was something that happened last week or when you were a kid. Maybe you perceived a conversation one way, and were positive that was the only way, only to question yourself shortly thereafter? On today's show, we see how the manipulation of people and family history drives Tara to her breaking point, only to rebound with a drive to read and study philosophy. Then, we end with yet another hard to believe interaction between Tara and her father.

This episode could be a drinking game! Not that we’re recommending that … Just sayin’ that the Spaniard and his guest Jon Fitch keep finding commonalities in their paths: college wrestling careers that ended just when they were starting to figure things out … moving away from being a school teacher … thorough journaling that helped lead to a book … frequently feeling out of step with others … turning to reading for wisdom. Plus adventures in mid-west fighting and of course, making it to the UFC—except Jon's career has lasted longer and continued into Bellator MMA. It’s kinda freaky how easy and inside-each-other’s-head-and-experience this talk is. Enjoy.

One of the most profound principles or truths I've found in my readings and life: Only you can save you. It's in many books, and it certainly is in this one, too. It took Tara a long time to realize this, and not without struggle, but she is convicted to "live in [her] own mind", not that of others. We also touch on the power our loved ones can have over us. It's another powerful episode on AMXbooks.

We start another tremendous book on today's AMXbooks. Educated by Tara Westover is a memoir that tells Tara's story of growing up on a mountain in Idaho, cut off from the rest of the world, raised by a fundamentalist Mormon father, prepping for the Days of the Abomination. Educated follows her self (and then formal) education journey. This book is chock-full of lessons, empathy and understanding perhaps the most powerful.

As in some past episodes, this recording features The Spaniard beaming into a distant location via the web to teach and listen to a small group. These students in Iroquois Junior/Senior High School in Erie, PA, as well as Principal Doug Wilson, interacted with The Spaniard about negatives and positives: stress, negative thoughts, approaches for coping and creating positive situations. This puts you in the thick of school days—whether that’s your life now, ahead of you, or past. It's sharing of many helpful thoughts for often-difficult times.

There has been one notable wave after another in Paul Rieckhoff’s life: Soldier, campaigner of behalf of other veterans as founder and CEO of the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA, important in The Spaniard’s fighting career), author, husband and father, and most recently creator and host of the podcast ”Angry Americans.” As you will hear, there is great respect between Paul and The Spaniard.

This is the longest Spaniard Show episode ever, and it’s getting the longest show description ever! It’s a talk with another of The Spaniard’s hometown connections, musical theater performer Betsy Padamonsky. Her stage career began at age 4 in a production of ”Annie” and continued through high school and college … then side hustles teaching German and managing a show in a theme park … all while dealing with her ability to look far older than she is (No joke! She says it!) … then performing in Broadway-caliber shows on cruise ships (where she met her husband) … then sitting on the other side of the table in casting … and then hopping back into performing headlining the national Broadway farewell tour of "Mamma Mia!" (And oh the twists and turns before that happened!) Betsy and Spanny discuss connecting to an audience through vulnerability and honesty, choosing integrity (sometimes unconsciously because it’s ingrained), building a valuable reputation, visualizing specific dreams, maintaining a relationship during an unusual career, indecision within decisiveness—and more! This is one juicy, entertaining episode. And there's a chance it will lead to another episode with Gandhi. (Listen. You'll see what that means.)

This episode is one podcaster-dad-husband-man to another as The Spaniard speaks to someone he has watched all of his time behind the microphone. Ryan Michler’s podcast & community Order of Man examines masculinity and what it means to be a man. He particularly aims to help men who have lacked a male role model, or any man who feels he has lost his way. ”My goal," Michler says, "was purely to talk with guys who were successful in their businesses, their relationships, their body and fitness. I didn’t have the idea of creating some kind of movement or reaching millions of men across the planet.” But that’s what happened. The guys discuss ”selfishly” taking care of yourself physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually so that you can care for others, and they dig into speaking truth without fear of polarizing.

There are the best, and then there are the best of the best. David Goggins calls them the Uncommon Amongst Uncommon.

Jason Stevens is one powerful 98-pound Marine (his weight on his first day in training, exactly 6 years after the 9/11 attacks). If you’re like The Spaniard, you’ll cry during this episode (Dread did, too, during editing). That’s because Jason opens his heart the same way he did in a 5-page letter to Spanny that helped him better understand the depth of what Team RWB does in connecting veterans to their communities. Jason credits a fellow Eagle (member of Team RWB) for drawing him in from dark places. His story of perseverance, growth and connection is touching and inspiring.

In today's reading, Goggins asks us, "Do you know who you really are and what you're capable of?" I take that a step further to ask you what your own personal ethos looks like? Do you live it? Do you kinda live it? Do you share space with the "ultimate comfort zone" (denial). I don't think you do. Enjoy the show.

If you haven't heard of David Goggins yet, you'll be hearing of him soon (outside of The Spaniard Show, of course). He takes the idea of human potential, as well as his military background, to see just how far he (and we) can go. Even if you've heard of/listened to him, this book does a great job of painting a clearer picture of how he got to where he is. A fun read for sure. Strap in!

If you were to add up the traits and mindsets of the most successful people on Earth, perspective, humility and gratitude would certainly be on your list.

Undrafted by the NFL out of the University of Maryland, Phil Costa fought and clawed his way onto the Dallas Cowboys, where he played for four years. He and Spanny talk injuries, financial prudence, playing weight, and transitioning out of sports. Phil is now a medical device expert who has participated in over 500 heart surgeries. His own ups and downs led him to co-author ”The Transition Playbook,” a resource for high-level athletes moving into new lives and careers. (And it has a Spaniard chapter!)

Success is negotiable, so you've got to ask yourself how bad you want it. There are sacrifices to be made, but which of those sacrifices are you willing to make? On today's AMXbooks, we dive into one of Alex Honnold's, in my opinion, most unique sacrifices to be his best. We also explore the Honnold Foundation and see how Alex is making a positive impact on the world.

The idea of a bigger purpose has been a common theme throughout many of the books I've read, and it's no exception here. On today's show, we look at an experience that changed Alex Honnold's perspective and led him to creating something for others. We also examine the dynamics that exist in the relationships amongst climbers.

Once again, the Spaniard is connecting with an old UFC friend, but also a comrade in business. Listen for Spanny’s smile when Kyle talks about the Wild (Mid) West of fighting in a smoky bar. Kyle traces his path from high school soccer dork to office drone fighting on the side to the first occupant of the fabled Hit Squad dorms (with its filthy kitchen) to making his way onto The Ultimate Fighter (Season 12) and into the UFC and then onward to his passion for offering training in his own gym. This talk gets into the specialty of holding pads for southpaws, sinking into doubt before a fight, transitioning into a new career, staying fit (ahem, holding off Dad Bod) and staying relevant.

Resilience is the capacity to recover, bending without breaking. As training tears down and rebuilds your muscles, so, too, does adversity with your mind. We become resilient by persevering through adversity; it never gets easy, but it does become more doable. On today's AMXkids, we learn how Stanley's experience has shaped him physically as well as mentally.

He is unbelievably calm and cool while undertaking the most daunting routes in the world.

The fascinating info starts early in this episode, when the guest, Sefra Alexandra, starts talking about onions and how they are tied to ”The Great Gatsby.” Then she gets into her link to the legendary author of an already-AMX'd book, Tom Brown, Jr. (Sefra was a student of Brown’s first student). And how yellow ants taste like citrus! Sefra actually drops the phrase ”mycologically radical” and talks about the ”mycelial network” that is the Internet of the Forest. There’s also a Walmart of the Forest! Then she gives instructions for making Sacred Fire, including a bit of a song to sing when you do. And more! There certainly has never been a more valuable episode of this podcast. If Sefra’s appearance here can turn even one person toward nature and the type of work that she does—saving seeds and guarding wilderness—the impact will be priceless.

Here’s what you won’t hear about in this talk with J.R. Martinez: The explosion that sent him home from Army service in Iraq and led to 33 reconstructive surgeries. And there are only fleeting mentions of his acting career and championship on ”Dancing with the Stars.” But that’s only because he and The Spaniard found too much else to talk about: Obstacle course racing (this was recorded at the 2018 Spartan World Championships), public speaking, reading, kids, crying at movies, speaking Spanish and more. Listen for JR’s moving comments on talking to children about differences from others such as his scars.

Talk about a star-spangled, meaningful tour. Janine Stange saluted America and made friends across the country becoming the first person to sing the National Anthem in all 50 states. And in 2015, she added another record singing the Anthem 24 times in 24 hours. Efforts like that don’t happen without guts, strength and skill, and now Janine travels as a motivational speaker helping the rest of us reach for the stars in our own ways.

As of late, I've had a fascination (and obsession) with learning about big cats. From lions to tigers to cougars to panthers and more, these creatures are strong, stealth, predacious and beautiful. Today, we break down some big cat categories, transition to finding your way on the Appalachian Trail (How exactly doesn't one get lost on this 2100 mile hike?) and the the birthplace of the word "physical education." It's as eclectic an episode as is The Spaniard Show. We're learning, baby!

Let it be known that, at the SpartanX Leadership Forum in the fall of 2018, The Spaniard choked up. A couple times, in fact. You’ll hear it during this panel-style talk moderated by Lonnie Mayne of Red Shoes Living. The crowd genuinely appreciated Spanny’s vulnerability … not to mention his reeling off all of the topics in the most recent book he had read, Joe De Sena’s ”The Spartan Way.” Have a tissue and take a bow, Span Man.

Happy anniversary! I started systematically recording (written/audio) my weekly learnings 100 weeks ago. I started AMXweekly on March 27, 2017. It was then called the Excellence Blueprint. From there, it evolved into the BOLD Blueprint. From the BB, it became What I Learned this Week and finally turned into yours truly, AMXweekly.
100 weeks of systematic learning. That's 100 weeks of books, interviews, solosodes, Dreadisodes, life experiences and more. How cool will it be when we get to AMXweekly 1000?!?
I hope you enjoy this weeks centennial celebration!

In this one conversation, you’ll hear about freeing yourself from parachute lines underwater, evading high voltage wires, water stinging your face like gravel, struggling with a person you’re trying to rescue, surviving a temperature of 70 below … and oh yeah, being struck with 24-hour snow blindness on top of Mount Everest and having to get down alone. Brian Dickinson has faced all of that and more and lived to tell the Spaniard about it.

There's a lot that goes into starting a business, and as part of The Spaniard Show, we like to share our ups and downs along the way. With 2019 off to a good start, and new situations arising, we thought it would be a good time to share some updates, including a timeline for my new book. Disclaimer: I'm not a successful businessman telling you how I did it, I'm an aspiring successful businessman telling you how I'm doing it. This will be especially valuable to anyone who's sitting on an "I'd really like to do something else/I'd really like to create something" type of thought. Enjoy.

Out-of-the-box thinking put John Witzing into a box, literally, and he did something extremely challenging to help support mental health. He and three comrades each shut themselves into the utter darkness of a shipping container to see who could run the furthest in 24 hours on a treadmill from sponsor TrueForm. That’s the kind of boundary-pusher that fired up John to found The Whiteboard Project to help people live actively. In this episode, The Spaniard talks to John before and after the unique adversity challenge of Locked + Loaded, 24 Hours of Isolation (LL24H), which was live-streamed on site at the 2018 Spartan World Championships.

For the first time on The Spaniard Show, I'll be AMX'ing a book that I listened to rather than read. I recently "read" Trevor Noah's "Born a Crime", an incredible book that includes so many important human experiences and covers a wide variety of important subjects. This is special for 2 reasons: 1. Trevor's book is awesome, and 2. By Audible'ing books, I can bring additional awesome learnings to The Spaniard Show.

Sit back and enjoy this recap of a bunch of newbie hunters getting their feet wet in the woods. Fortunately, we were led by our avid hunting pal Jimmy, my dad Butch's old hunting stories and some toasty fires (inside and out). We came back empty handed with no deer, but the weekend was full of awesome memories (and a terrible one for one of us). We're going back to our roots in this one!

How did Willie Banks end up running a company called HSJ, Inc.? By becoming one of history’s great triple jumpers! (Guess what HSJ stands for. You’ll find out in this episode.) He set national and word records and made three Olympic teams, though the 1980 U.S. boycott kept him from those games. Still, Willie remained joyous and thinks no one has ever been more fortunate. In this conversation recorded at the Spartan World Championships in 2018, listen for Willie's stories involving OJ Simpson, Bruce (at the time) Jenner, and other timeless names. You'll also catch his passion for global connections, which led him to serve as president and CEO of the fall 2019 ANOC World Beach Games.

We dive into the origins of the hunting story, as well as some of our (and our animal neighbors') customs that still exist today. We also dive into the ideas of figuring yourself out and understanding the negotiation that exists in daily life. Told through a hunter's perspective, today's themes are extremely common in our daily (non-hunting) lives.

This book has me going back to my country roots of Central PA. Author Steve Rinella is a professional hunter, conservationist, reader, thinker, podcaster, philosopher and objective thinker. He knows what he thinks, but he's always open to explore other ideas. I find myself attracted to his energy and passion for the outdoors, and his connection to the animals and foods he consumes. Listen and learn.

Erin Cafaro studied ballet as a girl but wound up in sports instead. Her father and other agents of fate helped steer her toward rowing, and she found it the perfect means to express powerful emotions—and perhaps even treat a type of depression. Her taste for pain and her powerful influence on teammates ultimately brought her two Olympic gold medals. Now she and The Spaniard peel back layers and get at the deep stuff: Aggression, parenting, war, blissful ignorance, discipline … This goes a lot of places, with beautiful honesty.
In today's AMXkids, we travel the seven continents w/ "a most curious space pup" named Mirth. We cover some cool and interesting facts about all seven continents, as well as my own personal experiences on five of them, to create an adventure of a lifetime!

One of my biggest takeaways, from reading, asking questions and experience w/ world-classers, is that we are all human. Today, we dive into some of the human tendencies that touch even the best of the best.

Well, OF COURSE The Spaniard has a good time with Matt B. Davis in this episode. Matt is a funny guy (in fact, a former stand-up comedian) and an endurance athlete who serves up news and info at ObstacleRacingMedia.com. Plus Matt is a kindred spirit in just plain liking to talk to people, as he does on TheAtlantaPodcast.com. And he’s smack in the middle of building his following, just like the Spaniard. You’ll hear the two share thoughts on creating content, persevering, building skill and facing weaknesses. Listen for Matt to pull the conversation toward MMA and boxing and deliver the show’s first on-air burp! This installment is not to be missed.
If everyone of us plays a role in the human symphony, how well do you play yours? In today's AMXbooks, we tie that idea to other great minds like George Pocock, Joe Rantz, Adam Smith, Jordan Peterson, Jocko Willinck/Leif Babin and even Mister Rogers. Join us in our interconnected lesson of the day!

Paradoxes and dichotomies exist and must be balanced. They're not to be defeated, rather made aware of and balanced. We segue this idea into discipline and maturity and giving one's self spiritually to the task at hand.

Today's lesson is a serious one, as is today's date, December 7 (1941). This book does a tremendous job detailing the rise of Hitler in Germany, and, today, we take a deeper look at that rise.
I would also highly recommend "Man's Search for Meaning" which tells author Victor Frankl's experience in an Auschwitz concentration camp.

Everyone needs connection, and no one more so than veterans feeling isolated after leaving military service. That led Team RWB to create a movement, literally—with ongoing physical fitness events that unite veterans and civilians alike. This includes organizing teams to annually carry the U.S. flag across the country (OldGloryRelay.org). The Spaniard sits down with RWB teammates Sarah and Amanda to talk about the bonding that they have enjoyed personally and help others experience.
Our old friends character, ego, humility and energy join us in today's lesson. Pay attention...and have fun!

How well do you know your own heart? When you're pushed to your limit, you learn a great deal about yourself, but it's not something you can fast track or delegate out; you've got to go through the tough stuff to reap the reward of knowing yourself. And when you do, the reward is never-ending. Enjoy today's AMXbooks as Joe and his team learn about themselves and assume the swagger that goes w/ it.

We bring you another tremendous kids book by Jocko Willinck to AMXkids (See AMXkids 9-12 for Way of the Warrior Kid), and the topic of conversation is fear, more specifically facing and overcoming it.

Here are two more of The Spaniard's great conversations with veterans. These took place in Philadelphia during the Veterans Kick Off 5th Annual Old Glory Relay Across America. First, retired Army Lt. Col. (and former wrestler!) Eric Stetson tells how FourBlock.org helps service members transition into careers where they will find satisfaction and success. Then Army veteran Erica Webster talks about her safe-haven, no-judgment, women-only facility for fitness and wellness, Dub-Fitness.com. You go, E Dub!
When Dread suggested I read The Boys in the Boat, I knew nothing about the book. But his enthusiasm, as well as the 20,813 reviews on Amazon (95% four and five star), made this book a no brainer. The subtitle, "Nine Americans and Their Quest for Gold at the 1936 Olympics" sets the stage for a triumphant story that covers so many valuable and enriching aspects of life. I hope you join us in this adventure of a lifetime.

These lessons revolve around: Old Dan's relentless pursuit, Mama's worrisome nature re Billy's adventures, Billy's inability to understand why certain things happen, Billy's connection w/ his dogs and his dogs' connection w/ each other and the lifelong impact Billy's childhood experiences had on him.

Self-improvement is a holistic process - strong mind, strong body. It's easy to lose sight of the process and feel the pressure to keep up. In today's AMXbooks, we look at some of the underlying causes of anxiety and stress as they relate to technology and a few simple steps we can take to lessen those negative emotions.

We do so many things, but how often do we take a step back to really ask ourselves why we're doing them? Busyness isn't productivity, and it doesn't create happiness. Purposeful actions is the name of the game. In today's AMXbooks, we're talking goals in training, social media and our own identities.

Enjoy this week's AMXweekly, a curation of this week's learning. Fast-paced learning full of wisdom from books and interviews.
For books and learning resources, be sure to visit charliespaniard.com. DON'T. STOP. LEARNING!
In Jack Canfield's book, The Success Principles, Principle #1 is: Take 100% responsibility for Your Life. Those words echo in today's AMX (book: Unplugged), as we look to elevating our awareness by simply detaching from our technology and simply "being." Simple, profound stuff on today's show.
For more books and learning resources, visit charliespaniard.com and/or message me on social media: @charliespaniard.
Pressure creates diamonds, but is also creates a whole bunch of not-good stuff upon ourselves. Awareness and a healthy dose of what's important can help combat that negative tendency. As a lifelong competitor, I still fight that battle daily. In today's AMX, we take a deeper look at "Assessing vs. Comparing" and taking 100% responsibility for our lives.
I want you to want to read a book bc they provide the way - the way to peace and fulfillment. If you want to get started and need a recommendation? Visit my reading list (charliespaniard.com/readinglist) or ask for direction on social media - @charliespaniard.
We’re posting this episode just after Veterans’ Day, so it is a particular pleasure that it features good work by and for veterans. Our own Charlie (The Spaniard) speaks to another: Charlie Elison of the Travis Manion Foundation, whose stated mission is to ”empower veterans and families of fallen heroes to develop character in future generations.” In particular, Charlie E highlights mentoring programs that help inspire youth to serve their families and communities in a variety of ways.
In our first day of Unplugged, we dive into the role technology has secured in our lives, the abundance of information flooding our senses and our current health state as a society. This book is proving to be a great refresher as to what truly matters, and how our actions can align w/ that newfound recognition to get the most out of ourselves, and life.
Want to dive into some more philosophy pertaining to health and wellness? I've spent a life learning all about it (as well as implementing it). Shoot me a message, @charliespaniard.
In today's AMXKids21, we take a deep dive into Grandpa's statement to Billy..."I think it would be a good thing if all young boys had to cut down a tree once in their life." Why? Tune in and find out...I'll give you a hint...it has to do w/ the value of hard work!

Our journey w/ Mister Rogers has come to an end, but the lessons we've learned from him will continue on forever. His message, simple and pure, has affected generations, and continues to do so to this day. Be kind. Help others. Thank you, Mr. Rogers.
Enjoy today's AMX.
If you're obsessively disciplined and structured like me, today's episode is gonna give you an "oh, yes, I'm OK" kind of feeling. Mr. Rogers takes his discipline and structure to another level, and the results, well, they speak for themselves. Tune in, process, and find what works for you. Oh, and there's another absolute truth in today's AMX: Treat everyone the same, regardless of who you/they are.
AMX is learning. We want you to want to learn, so we've got tons of resources for you on my site - charliespaniard.com. Want something specific answered? Hit me up on social media - @charliespaniard.
I'm not exaggerating when I say that this week's learning had me in tears. Ha! I know...whatever...it is what it is! I also recently found myself captured by some Hallmark Christmas movies, so who knows what's up?!?
Annnyhoo, today's episode is another dose of high-paced, value-packed energy-inducing learning. Enjoy!
Do Mr. Rogers' lessons for kids apply to adults as well? Yup. Will you hear one of those lessons today that can have a big impact on your relationships? Yup. Tune in, Neighbors.
Wanna read a great book? I've put together a big ole list at charliespaniard.com/readinglist. Read on!
Have you ever considered the correlation between puppetry and social media? Probably not, but I have (I'm weird, so bear w/ me). I bet you'll find it insightful enough to say, "Hmm, yea, that's good." And my hope is that you will consider what you learn as you operate in your socially-media life.
Looking for some awesome books to read? I've put together a big ole list on my site, charliespaniard.com/readinglist. Read on, folks!
So you’re an undergrad in Digital Media & PR, and who comes in to speak but The Spaniard, an energetic up-and-coming media professional who is scratching and clawing to grow his fan base. He is ultra-real with the class about how hard it can be to build a business. He gets into things that are unfamiliar to many, such as intellectual property and leveraging a platform. And if that’s not sexy enough, Spanny shares the etymology of ”podcast” and how a podcast is produced. Get your geek on, peeps!
In today's AMX, we focus on: the power of curiosity and asking questions, Mr. Rogers' empathetic, honest and direct approach to communicating w/ children and one of my favorites takeaways from the book (you gotta listen to find out! Ooooh!).
For more learning resources, visit charliespaniard.com/readinglist and/or let's chat on social media: @charliespaniard.
Today's AMXKids focuses on the deeper meaning of education, the never-ending "worries and wants of a young boy" (all of us, really) and the importance of sticking to your word.
AMXKids is extracting life lessons from kids books and presenting them in a fun, easily digestible way. Please use these episodes as a platform for discussion w/ the young people in your life.
NEW AMXKids episodes out every Tuesday.
Not long ago, I had a hometown connection, Cory Geishauser, on my show. He worked, and was friends, w/ Fred Rogers for 20 years. He told me about a video on Youtube that I wouldn't believe. That Mr. Rogers had an edge, a very calm, calculated, respectful edge, one that was full of conviction. In today's reading, I came across the background and lead-up to this particular video. It adds even more depth to a fascinating man.
If you'd like to watch it yourself, search "Fred Rogers/Senator Pastore". PS Then go read a book! I put a giant list together at charliespaniard.com/readinglist.
The story is what I love to learn about. The evolution, iterations, highs/lows, turning points, almosts, etc. Today's AMX sheds some light on Mr. Rogers' journey, as well as a suggestion that essentially changed the trajectory of his show.
Keep doing what you're best at and maybe, just maybe, someone will take note. That's the game Mr. Rogers played (as well as Kevin Hart...me, too!).
Looking for a great book to get your learning journey started? I've put together a big list on my site.
Here's a week's worth of training to pick and choose from, replicate or simply from which to learn. PS Don't just listen...DO!
"Attitudes aren't taught, they're caught." - Dr. Margaret McFarland, Child Psychologist/mentor to Mr. Rogers. What is your attitude teaching those around you?
Books can change your life, but it takes effort. Gold lies within them, and it's waiting to be mined. I've put together a great list at charliespaniard.com/readinglist for you to get started.
In today's AMX, we learn how the "guided drift" teaches us to embrace the flow of life, the importance of finding our truth speakers and how "engaging w/ children deeply" (people, really) is vital to their development.
Want to read a book? I've put a list together at charliespaniard.com/readinglist. Want some guidance? Message me on social media - @charliespaniard.
By popular demand, this episode explores physics in general and string theory in particular. Okay, it wasn’t exactly like that. The truth is that after reading a book on astrophysics, The Spaniard had questions for Rich Magee, a pal since boyhood who just happens to be a plasma physicist. So strap in for the podcast’s first mentions of such matters as fusion reaction, a little something that Rich is working on to help all of humanity.
"You can be an agent of what's good and not be terribly direct about it." Wise words from Mr. Rogers in today's AMX. W/ a focus on humanistic values, Mr. Rogers changed television...and millions of lives in the process. Enjoy today's message.
I want that you want to read a book, so I've made it easy. Visit my site for a look at my reading list, and go from there. Questions about which one to choose? Ask me on social media: @charliespaniard.
This week's AMXKids takes us into the life and childhood of main character Billy Colman. We learn about the rarity of perfect days, the most valuable trait (imo) one can have and the beauty of building a strong mind and body.
AMXKids is teaching life lessons through kids books. Whether you're a youngster, have a youngster or just want to get lost in nostalgia, I hope you listen. New AMXKids episodes come out every Tuesday.
PS If you're a book geek like me, let's chat - @charliespaniard on social media.
Luck and happenstance are, inevitably, part of success, but it's certainly not a strategy. Join us in today's AMX...t's a wonderful day for learning!
I want that you want to read a book, so I've put together a list of the books I've read at charliespaniard.com/readinglist. It's that easy. Check them out, ask me my thoughts (@charliespaniard) and get reading!
Mr. Rogers' message is a timely one, moreso this week in the wake of the shooting in Pittsburgh. In a world that can seem to offer only hate, at times, he helps us remember that "you will always find people who are helping...there are still so many helpers." Take a few minutes to explore his lessons w/ me, and redistribute the good that he put out.
THIS. IS. WHAT I LEARNED THIS WEEK!!! Take some time and learn what I learned this week...Why? Bc learning is the best plan for self-improvement, and I just bet you wanna be the best you. Enjoy!
Be sure to get your copy of the WIL document at charliespaniard.com/wil84.
Here's a rundown of this week's training. Use it to supplement your own training, to learn a thing or two, or if you're like me, to compete :) Enjoy!
Share some pics in the gym and/or let's talk training. Hit me up @charliespaniard.
The powerful lessons we are learning from Mr. Rogers' life are lessons that can help every one of us. In today's AMX, we learn how Mr. Rogers' introspection allowed him to get in touch w/ how he really felt, which, in turn, led to his honest self.
Reading is, imo, the most efficient plan to self-improvement. Consider getting a book and starting that plan. I've put together a list of my favorites at charliespaniard.com/readinglist.
My favorite thing is when different books and learnings combine and connect. In today's AMX, we connect Mr. Rogers' upbringing to our friends Jocko Willinck and Leif Babin and their book The Dichotomy of Leadership. Tune in and connect!
I'd love to help you in your lifelong learning journey. Please interact w/ me on social media and/or visit charliespaniard.com/readinglist for your next book (you'll also be supporting the show!). Use me as your learning resource.
PS We have a special (little 5 y/o) guest appearance on today's show...kind of :)
The Spaniard politely disagrees with this week’s guest when he says, ”I’m just Joe Blow. I never had that mindset that I was different from anybody else. I just played football.” Rod Woodson speaks from blue-collar humility, but he was different all right: 17 years in the NFL, including 10 with The Spaniard’s beloved Steelers. One Super Bowl ring. Multiple league records. And entry into a little place called the Hall of Fame. He and Spanny talk leadership, learning, consistency and hard, hard work.
Legacy, values and human kindness ring our ears in today's AMX. It's a simple, and powerful, message.
Am I peaking your lifelong learning interest? If so, check out my list of books at charliespaniard.com/readinglist. Come on, taking a look won't hurt!
A boy and his dogs. Is there anything more pure than that? I'm super excited to journey into this tale of adventure, discovery and wander, and I hope you are, too. PS This one's extra close to my heart, as my best four-legged friend, Doc, was with me for close to 16 years. Sit back and enjoy this step back in time.

Mr. Rogers has been a guiding light in my career for the past few years. Our similarity was first brought to my attention by way of Dread. The piece of Mr. Rogers that I incorporate into my career is my aim to inspire lifelong learning in others so they can share in its power. This new book is tremendous, and I hope you ride along with us!!!
I'd love to engage in book talk. Shoot me a message on social media @charliespaniard. And check out a list of my favorites at charliespaniard.com/readinglist.

You know this episode’s guest from the back cover of The Spaniard’s memoir, ”Driven.” Remember the quote about Spanny’s being an alien? Yup, it really does say that it, and it came from Justin Greskiewicz, trainer/owner of Stay Fly Muay Thai in Philadelphia and veteran of 94 fights, 70 of them as a pro. That’s a lot of ring time, but Justin tells how some in his sport have fought over 400 times, yet emerged the sweetest of beings. He’s participated in thousands of fights overall (hundreds as coach or referee) and explains how none gripped him more than one particular bout of The Spaniard’s. Listen in on why.
There's a time to lead, and there's a time to follow. There is no place for ego in leadership, so drop it at the "I want to be a better leader" door. Enjoy today's AMX message!

Just stinkin' be you. That is the message of this week's AMXKids, and its brought to us by way of the tremendous kids book, The Story of Ferdinand. Who hasn't felt the pressure to be something you're not? Ferdinand certainly has, and hearing his story can help keep you pushing in the right direction...the direction of your authentic self.
I highly encourage you to read this book, and the many others I study and teach. You can see a comprehensive list of those books at charliespaniard.com/readinglist.
What you do/did to get you to the top are the things you need to keep doing to stay at the top. It's the little things, over and over and over, that truly matter. There is no room for complacency. As a leader, you need to empower others. As a leader, you need to empower yourself. Enjoy today's AMX lesson.

This episode contains: my weekly workouts, storytelling, training philosophy and education.

Hey, this is at least semi-momentous! It’s podcast episode #200 (not counting 589 episodes of AMX as of this posting). Yaaay! The trail has helped teach what it means to just stinkin’ keep on keeping on. This is also the first Dreadisode in a while. The Spaniard tells ol’ Dread about recent and upcoming trips and recordings, a new sense of mission, and a new awareness of what it takes to balance work and family. It’s reflection suitable for hitting the double-century mark. You’ll even hear a new Spaniardism!
Training hard, and training smart, is the topic of choices in today's AMX. Make it hard, but make it purposeful. Enjoy today's lesson.
I love engaging in learning. Please reach out to @charliespaniard w/ any questions or comments.

Michele Jones left a trail of firsts after 25 years in the military, including being the first female command sergeant major of the U.S. Army Reserve. She went on to other firsts, including serving as a White House contact. She views those distinctions with humility, focusing on how to use them to best help others. In this episode, she talks with The Spaniard about connecting with audiences and individuals and touches on her signature Bones Theory (it'll get under your skin).

In this episode, Brett Chapman adds depth to The Spaniard’s recent reading of ”Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee.” The book includes an account of how Brett’s relative Standing Bear resisted federal mistreatment by shrewdly winning a victory in U.S. court. Brett honors and extends this family legacy today as an attorney in Oklahoma. The story is hard to hear, but also inspiring. It holds important lessons for seeking justice and confronting the violation of American ideals.

As a competitor, Mike Salemi does reps for 10 minutes with an 88-pound kettlebell in each hand. No joke. If you think that makes him a muscle head, think again.

Listen to him about group exercise, nutrition, kettlebells and other gear such as the Bulgarian Bag, and you’ll be inspired to be a better you. Check him out at mikesalemi.io.

Our main man was a Maine man for a few days recently! The Spaniard flew north to the deep woods to sweat in a camp that made him think of Dirty Dancing, except this was about grappling. Specifically, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Immersion Camp, organized by Origin USA, which makes products for combat athletes. Spanny relished the chance to get up close and personal on the mats and in chats with event partners Echelon Front—Jocko, Leif, Dave, JP, Echo Charles and the two Jamies (he’ll explain). It’s good late-summer learning in life and business from a guy in a gi (both guy and go made in America!). LEARNING TRIP 001 SPONSORED BY FOOD SERVICE SOLUTIONS

How often have you found yourself talking to someone else while simultaneously talking to yourself? Am I saying the right thing? Are they agreeing w/ me? What are they thinking? Should I have said that? It's tough to speak straight and clearly w/o doubt, but it is the way. Today, we touch on this idea in regard to Kevin Hart's career. We also tie some recurring themes in Kevin Hart's journey thus far.

Do the thing to feel the way. Persistence and stage time will get you far, my friends. Oh, and don't forget to ask! Some life lessons coming straight from Kevin Hart (well, from me, but I learned them from him...well, from his book). Enjoy today's AMX and the weekend!
Wanna read some incredible books and help support the show? Visit charliespaniard.com/readinglist and get started!
Reading Kevin Hart's book is like listening to a 365 page one man show; it's hilarious and incredibly insightful for any performer, but also invaluable for the average person who wants to communicate more effectively by being comfortable in their own skin. In today's AMX, we talk change, conviction and a mother's love (you, too, dad!).
Don't just learn today. Develop it into a habit. Start that habit by tuning in every M-F to AMX. Start your day right.
Jamie Kilstein ground his way up from the bottom to fly high as a comedian and internet radio host, crossing paths with the likes of Conan, Dave Attell and Joe Rogan. Then he hit the bottom again. He’s making his way forward with important influence from his other love, jiu jitsu, and, as he explains, is still figuring things out. You’ll benefit from the discussion of both literal and figurative punches to the face. This episode touches on areas more controversial than other episodes, and the audio is patchier than normal, but it’s well worth the listen.
Kevin Hart didn't always know where he was headed. Neither do most of us (I sure don't). BUT, you gotta just...keep...going. Goals, energy and finding your path are the topics of today's AMX.

I'm fortunate to have come upon Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. I hope you've enjoyed the history and stories that we've learned as much as I have. Today, we cap off a tremendous piece of history on the Native Americans and the American West.
Reading can benefit you in so many ways. Get your journey started. And if you're looking for a whole list of great books to get you started, my favorite are at charliespaniard.com/readinglist.
Did you know that Native Americans weren't considered "people" under the law in the late 1800's? They had no rights. Standing Bear changed that. Some fascinating history in today's AMX.
Read, my friends, read. You can find a whole slew of books to start w/ at charliespaniard.com/readinglist.
Whether you know it or not, you want to eat like a battle rapper. That’s what you’ll learn from Joe Condora in this episode. Battle rappers need to be strong and lean with maximum physical and mental energy. You might not need to recite insults like they do, but still: You have your own tasks. Joe is an expert in using ancient techniques to counteract problems in modern nutrition. He and The Spaniard get into the deep stuff, meaning issues such as leaky gut and how it can make your own body work against you. That’s messed up yo, so listen to Joe. (Consider that a warmup for battle rapping.)
Oh man, this book rules! I was reading yesterday, prepping for today's episode, smiling ear to ear; all I wanted to do was push-ups and wake up early. That's the effect Jocko Willinck and his book, Way of the Warrior Kid, will have on you. Sit down, kids and parents, and have some butt-kicking "get after it" fun!

The Spaniard Show has undergone a few name changes over the last two years. They all carry a similar theme. We started as A Fighter's Mindset. We continued as SPANIARD101: Learn to Be Bold. Currently, we carry the subtitle "World's Toughest Lifelong Learner." Today's episode, as well as the history and figures in this book, carry w/ it a very similar theme, that of conviction, pride and fight. I relate very well to it. I hope you do to. Enjoy today's episode.
For more information on speaking programs, or to peruse my list of book, visit charliespaniard.com.
Today, we talk the two sides to every story (and sometimes more than two). We also discuss the Sand Creek Massacre of the Cheyenne/Arapaho Indians. (NOTE: There are quotes and descriptions in today's show that are hard to hear).
I hope you are inspired to learn more about the Native Americans and the American West.
When it comes to understanding the camaraderie of elite performers and professional athletes, nothing will ever help you more than this conversation between our guy The Spaniard, veteran of the UFC, and his guest Jeff Campbell, formerly of the Detroit Lions and Denver Broncos. Before this recording, these guys had talked all of five minutes, but they instantly fall into a rapport around the joys of getting beat up in practice, recovering from failure, locking onto goals, and navigating transitions from high school to college to the pros and then out into other fields. They also share sobering reflections regarding concussions as the talk segues into Jeff’s current work related to deep brain stimulation. Enjoy listening to two bros bond.
We can learn a lot from the history of the American West, and I hope you enjoy my journey through Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. This is a powerful book full of stories and lessons that will open your eyes and make you reflect.
I highly suggest you take a look at this book and consider reading it yourself. You can find it at charliespaniard.com/readinglist.
Today's AMXKids wraps up The Breadwinner while discussing: thinking about your future, getting back up after getting knocked down and perspective.

Want more learning? Visit charliespaniard.com for speaking programs, reading lists and other learning resources.
I'm excited and a bit nervous to begin reading and discussing Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee on AMX. The book is so rich in history and stories, and the people in it deserve a proper amount of respect; I hope to do it, and them, justice. My interest in Native American history and culture comes from a pure place of wanting to know more about this group of people that once roamed free, as well as the history of the country I'm proud to live in. I hope you are as captivated by this book as I am, and are inspired to seek out additional sources on your own.
Thank you for being part of The Spaniard Show and my lifelong learning journey. Please connect and interact; I love engaging in learning. You can do so at charliespaniard.com and @charliespaniard.
Hope may not be a strategy, but dang, it's a key ingredient to keeping that flame a-fire. We cap off Admiral McRaven's book talking hope and the opposite of quitting...not quitting!
I HOPE you will not QUIT in your searching for how to leave a review for The Spaniard Show on iTunes. Each one helps!
Ain't nobody like a bully! Today, we talk standing up to bullies and rising to the occasion...or maybe we talk standing up to bullies while rising to the occasion! Too much rising and standing...I'm tired :)

Matt Bradford does things most of us never will. He completed the Spartan Race Trifecta. He hiked 10 miles through the desert in the Bataan Memorial Death March. He’s finished six marathons this year and is scheduled for three more. And in 2010 he did something that no one had ever done: He re-enlisted in the Marine Corps after a combat injury made him a blind double amputee. It was because he found that his new mission was to help other severely-wounded veterans find new lives. Now retired from the military, Matt tells The Spaniard how he continues to inspire and motivate others, raise three children beside his wife Amanda, and take one step at a time.
Remember learning to ride a bike and/or swim? It took time and many setbacks (My daughter's learning both right now, so this topic is very fresh). On today's show, we're talking failures and daring greatly (like taking off the training wheels and going under!).
I dare you (greatly) to subscribe and leave a review :)
In the third week of discussing The Breadwinner, we dive into: the value of lifelong learning (why learn in the first place???), defining your mission and the importance of choices.
AMXKids teaches life lessons through middle school age books. New episodes are released Tuesdays at 4 PM. As a lifelong learner, I LOVE engaging in learning and book-talk, so please connect on social and let's talk books - @charliespaniard.
The size of your heart and the unfairness of life are today's topics. In the spirit of Jocko...Life's not fair? GOOD.
My mission is to give you the learning tools you need to get past that unfairness and punch it right in the teeth. Get em at charliespaniard.com.
Admiral William H. McRaven gave a commencement speech at the Univ. of Texas graduation back in 2004. Chances are, you've caught wind of it (or have watched it many times like myself). Either way, we'll dive into his principles, and you might be surprised to see that they're quite simple to follow. In the meantime, search it out on Youtube, and use it as a listening guide. Up first: 1. Start Your Day w/ a Task Completed and 2. You Can't Go at it Alone.
Like what you hear? Let's further the discussion. Tag me @charliespaniard across the board.
What I Learned episodes put together the most interesting, inspiring and thought-provoking learning points from the previous week to present an action-packed-fast-paced explosion of intellect (and some not-so-intellect bwo made up words created on the fly!).

You know what did the world a lot of good? A Tour for the Troops conducted by Armed Forces Entertainment in 2012. Because not only did that honor and inspire the brave men and women of the United States military, it threw together two of the touring fighters, The Spaniard and Kyle Kingsbury. They became friends, and now we get to hear them discuss the journey to becoming the best versions of themselves. Kyle tells Spanny about his journey from football to the UFC, touching on a detour into substance abuse. Now that painful period serves as a vivid contrast to a conscious and respectful use of plant medicines within a healthy life of marriage, parenting, training, studying and work. Kyle is the Director of Human Optimization for Onnit, and one of his duties is hosting the Human Optimization Hour podcast. So if you’re human, open your mind and let him help optimize you.

Think of all the things you do in your life to simply take up time/space in your mind, the things that keep your mind at ease. They could be simple or complex. At the end of the day, we do them to quiet/occupy our thoughts. It's an interesting concept, and one that I'm learning more and more about. You will, too, in today's AMX.

Here's a short advisory before you listen to this audio of The Spaniard putting himself through a typical hellish workout. PLEASE NOTE: This is an extremely unique piece of audio. The only hallucinogens involved were endorphins, dopamine and serotonin released by a ridiculous degree of getting after it. Be prepared to hear ad libbing, bellowing, blowing, chanting, cheering for one's self, delirous recitations, digital beeps, fake swearing and kid-friendly-crudity, gasping, grappling with demons, grunting, hysterical laughing, karaoke so bad it's good, invention of lyrics, quoting and misquoting of movies, philosophical ramblings, pleading, rejection of online heckling, speaking in tongues (wait, that part is just Spanish), taunting of imagined adversaries, wheezing and YELLING THAT MAKES THE ROOM VIBRATE. Okay, now you're on your own. This is how winnin' sounds!
You don't need a reason to excel. You don't need a reason to take care of yourself. Excel for the sake of excelling. Take care of yourself for the sake of taking care of yourself. It really can be that simple. Enjoy today's AMX.

I truly believe things come into your life when they're supposed to. On my trip home from visiting Onnit in Austin, having spent several days w/ Kyle Kingsbury (host of The Human Optimization Hour) learning about spirituality and wellness, another friend of mine randomly suggested I read Awakening Spirits, by Tom Brown, Jr. Coincidentally, or not, it has everything to do w/ what I'm learning about. Let's dive into spirituality, Native American wisdom and tracking skills (yes, tracking skills). Genuinely looking forward to this journey.

Shawn Stevenson was a budding football and track star at age 15 when he pulled a muscle that broke his hip. Doctors said there was no cure for his brittle bones and degenerative spine. Shawn believed them until he started thinking and studying and taking control of his own health and making himself an expert. Now his bones are dense, his spine is textbook-pretty with thick, juicy discs (Shawn’s words!), and pro athletes, top podcasters, and other world-class performers consult him about nutrition, exercise and sleep. His podcast ”The Model Health Show” is pushing 300 episodes that serve as master classes in living a better life. If at all possible, walk while listening to them. (you’ll hear why in this episode)
In this week's AMXKids, we wrap up Hatchet w/ some valuable takeaways, including: accountability, resourcefulness, importance of belief and hope, dealing w/ adversity, overcoming fear, developing mental toughness and acquiring new skills.

The mention of Stephen King's name gives me goosebumps and takes me back to childhood. I vaguely remember sitting in my grandparent's living room seeing and/or hearing about It. I can just remember (I think) a sewer and a scary clown. Decades later, when I heard Joe Rogan talk about King's book "On Writing", I immediately decided I wanted to learn more from one of the best selling authors of all time. If you're like me, tune into AMX521.

Matt Brown was a tough Ohio kid who left behind drugs and alcohol to build a long MMA career that included reaching the quarter finals of The Ultimate Fighter Season 7 and over 10 years and counting in the UFC. As of this recording, he was recovering from injury but still training, working on multiple business projects and preparing for a lecture. One of his priceless quotes from this talk with The Spaniard: ”I made the decision a long time ago that I’m going to control my own mind. I think we see a lot of miraculous things from people who just make decisions and stick to them.”
In today's AMX, we're talking: moving (taking action), selling (yourself) and "inventory of only one" (YOU). This is a youfocused episode that will keep the momentum going. Enjoy!

Does this sound familiar? Comes from a close family ... two brothers ... scholarship athlete who fell short of his Division 1 goals then turned pro ... now a husband, dad, writer and podcaster who emphasizes learning. And loooves the book ”Shoe Dog.” Yes, of course all of that applies to The Spaniard. But also to today’s guest Ryan Hawk, who created his own version of a PhD program with The Learning Leader Show, on which he’s interviewed the likes of Darryl Strawberry, Aubrey Marcus, Tom Peters and Annie Duke—and that’s just this year. Listen for the tip on thank you notes. (You’re welcome!)

I'll be reading, studying and teaching the most successful middle-school-age books while focusing on leadership, character development and doing the right thing. New episodes will be released on Tuesdays.

For anyone who has lost a military comrade, or any veteran struggling to find a new purpose, this episode brings powerful hope. Mike Sarraille (suh-RELL-ee) draws humility and inspiration every day from the memory of a Navy SEAL teammate who saved his life. And Mike's new mission is to prepare veterans for leadership roles in industry. His organization VETTED has won high praise for this work, and in this conversation he announces a related initiative with his brothers in arms at Echelon Front. It's uplifting to see him embody his own words to fellow service members: ”Live on and live well.”
Connection has lead me to this book, and I'm excited for the wisdom to be gained. We're taking a step back in time to learn wisdom that has been lost in time. As a man-child thirsty for knowledge and adventure, my eyes and ears are wide open. I hope you enjoy the wisdom that is to be gained from the Native Americans.

"Remember, this is what you signed up for. You choose hard things." Recent wise words from my wife, and a perfect segue (not to be confused w/ Segway, the fancy Paul Blart scooter, pronounced the same way) into our next book, A Survival Guide for Life by Bear Grylls. I've always respected and admired Bear's approach to life and family (this will be the third book of his I've read). Let's go on an adventure!

Gene Zannetti was on his way to a doctorate in clinical psychology when things took a turn. But the treatment world’s loss is the the performance world's gain, because Gene and his brother Jeff went on to create mindset training programs that help athletes and students reach their full potential. The Spaniard first met Gene on the wrestling mat, and you’ll learn the results of their two matches. Now the two compare notes on thorough preparation backed by science, history and the examples of top performers. There’s also mention of the ”Handsome Discount” that may or may not have worked in Gene’s favor ...

Boy, these episodes are fun. When I produce a show, I envision someone who could care less about reading books and learning, who actually is against it. I envision taking that person and TOTALLY 180'ing the way they think about books and learning. My goal is to create lifelong learners out of the most un-lifelong-learners out there! This week's WIL is another example of that mission in action.

Listen in as ancient Toltec wisdom is explored the modern way—via Skype. The Spaniard beams into a class of ninth graders who have just read ”The Four Agreements,” by Don Miguel Ruiz. The students are treated to the energetic and thoughtful perspective of a teacher and book hound always seeking to get the most out of himself. The rich discussion leads to questions such as: "Which agreement is the hardest for you to follow?" and "What parts of the book do you NOT agree with?" Way to bring it, kids!
Learn how curiosity can help you see through the eyes of others, one of the long term benefits of curiosity and why your intent is as important as anything. All of this in 8 minutes. Enjoy today's AMX!

Fans of The Spaniard are used to following him down a twisty, turny trail as he develops his message, career and the elusive matter of ”product”—that THING that he provides, that people will support and buy to allow a sustainable effort whose reach grows and strengthens. This week, that bendy path led The Spaniard to record live as he recounted a working session from the previous day—to employees of a company that had hired him. That’s right, he talks to THIS business about HIS business. Wild! But see if you don’t agree: It makes sense, it creates energy, and it delivers value. Plus, he receives value in the form of constructive criticism. (Watch that talking speed, Spanny!)
We're talking Tai Chi, Zen, chunking large amounts of data, focus and even Jocko's jiu jitsu analogy to life and business. It's AMX at it's purest - learning in action. Enjoy!

Just about halfway through this episode, the guest brings The Spaniard to tears. In a good way, people! It's when Summer Fenton gives the highest of praise to those who helped her pursue the dreams that she now lives: Traveling the world as a professional snowboarder and Olympic hopeful. She manages it with a mix of sponsorship and summer side jobs, and it does her soul good. Listen in and learn from a sixth-generation San Franciscan as she takes us her hometown cold water beaches to the stirring back country powder.

Return guest Dave Wagner made an appearance with The Spaniard, and neither sugarcoated what it has taken for Dave to make progress in managing his weight. Along with determination, there has been difficulty and depression. Dave says: ”Every day is a choice. I’m doing it for myself, my family, my future. I want to be around to see my kids grow up. I was on a road to death pretty quickly, and I had to get off that road. I had to change my ways, and I have. But it’s a constant struggle. Every meal, every snack, every minute is a struggle.” Dave will win by playing the long game. Listen to these two friends and partners break down how Dave competes for his own health.

If you want a good smile, go to the home page of 100things.com.au and look for ”Seb’s List.” You’ll get the idea. But it’s more than a bucket list, it’s now a platform for kindness. As Sebastian Terry marked things off The List, he found particular meaning in #26, ”Help a Stranger,” a goal that he now repeats over and over and facilitates in rich ways that have included his own TV show. You’ll hear that story, as well as the funny story of how Seb came to represent an African nation in rugby (#44), plus the sad but profound basis for The List and everything that followed. Seb also shares his secret to a happy life, and it’s hard to argue with.

Many call him a magician, but Richard Turner uses the traditional term card mechanic—an expert manipulator of cards able to control a game. He’s proud of his nickname ”The Cheat” but even more proud of his wife and partner Kim and their son named (wait for it) Asa Spades. Obsessive practice and decades of performance have taken Richard around the world astounding audiences and placed him at the center of the unforgettable documentary ”Dealt.” He responded promptly to The Spaniard’s request for an interview saying he couldn’t turn down a fellow fighter, because he also happens to be a sixth-degree black belt who’s done 500 pushups in just over 12 minutes. Oh, and one more thing: From before he was a teen, Richard Turner has been blind. Listen, be inspired, and visit RichardTurner52.com.
Phew! In today's AMX, we dive into the concept of dichotomy (a word I see and use often, but have never clearly defined...it's still confusing, to be honest). This episode is similar to a comedian working out his bits, except I'm working out my thoughts. We also talk our streaknesses (strengths that couple as weakness) and top off our study of Extreme Ownership w/ a bit of hope for aspiring leaders.

If you think a glow doesn’t have a sound, you’re wrong. You’ll hear it in The Spaniard’s voice during this talk for the D.R.E.A.M. Symposium, an event aimed at growing the D.R.E.A.M. Partnership, an ambitious program involving several colleges in Pennsylvania. The Spaniard gains that same glow every time he teaches and learns from D.R.E.A.M. scholars. These students are exceptional in strength and aspiration, determined to live to the fullest, just like The Spaniard himself. Intellectual disabilities give them a unique perspective and capacity to contribute to everyone around them—in school, on the job, and in this podcast episode.

In 1982, at age 27, Fred ”Chico” Lager had already grown tired of running his nightclub. The little ice cream shop around the corner needed help, so he joined in with the owners, two guys named Ben and Jerry. A global brand ensued, with Chico as CEO. Chico eventually talked about all of this in his book ”The Inside Scoop.” Over twenty years later, The Spaniard discovered the book, loved it and tracked down Chico. Now you get to hear some of the stories: Feeding Henny Youngman’s audience, racing against time in a VW van, doing what the bankers said couldn’t be done, and being the first to put cookie dough in ice cream. You’ll even learn which flavor will come back from the dead this summer as the company celebrates its 40th anniversary!

The Spaniard delivered this keynote address at the invitation of his native county’s Chamber of Commerce. His audience was dozens of professionals engaged in a thorough 9-month program that enhances their ability to lead vital efforts in their communities and on the job. You’ll hear references to the mighty Sheetz convenience store chain because this talk took place in a brand-new Sheetz corporate facility.

Mike Ritland knows dogs. He knows from training canines as a Navy SEAL. He knows them from operating Trikos, a company formed to provide working dogs for security, police, military and other work. He knows them from founding the Warrior Dog Foundation to allow retired working dogs the lives they deserve. After The Spaniard discovered all of this, he immediately bought one of Mike’s bestselling books and purchased online training to enrich the life of Josie, his own beloved Frenchie. And in so doing he immeasurably enriched his own life and that of his family. Mike knows this kind of effect, too. He helps make it happen all the time.

What’s the first word that the name Dustin Pari brings to mind? Many fans will say SPIRIT. But they might mean many different things. They might mean his motivational lectures rich with stories prompted by random drawings from his Magical Mystery Box. Or they might his gift for warm embracing of different cultures and viewpoints. Or his gift for warm embracing, period (hugs whether you want them or not). They might mean the zest for life that led Dustin to meet the likes of William Shatner and Micky Dolenz and appear in a Dunkin’ Donuts commercial. Or they might mean the rich faith that led NASCAR to invite Dustin to offer an invocation. Or they might mean the fact that his passion for the paranormal led to his being featured on TV shows such as two ”Ghost Hunter” series and ”Destination Truth.” This conversation with The Spaniard treats us to all of those sides of Dustin. It is sure to (wait for it) lift your spirit.

This is a first for The Spaniard: A repeat episode, in case you missed it the first time. No guest could be more deserving than the first person The Spaniard ever interviewed for the podcast. He was heading into a fight then, and he's heading into a fight now, on March 3, 2018. ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION FROM OCTOBER 13, 2016: ”You can be a good person AND the best in the world. Frankie is a perfect example.” The Spaniard says that in this extra-special episode featuring Frankie Edgar, active UFC fighter and former lightweight champion, whose friendship with the Spaniard began during college. Frankie's devotion to family, friends, teammates and training shines as he discusses a career that led from underground fighting to an upcoming bout in Madison Square Garden. Frankie was one of The Spaniard’s first inspirations to pursue the UFC, and he is the best possible first guest on ”A Fighter’s Mindset.” Where else will you hear two guys compare notes on both changing diapers and breaking bones around their eye sockets?

This talk with Scott Moore has something for everyone. The Spaniard goes back with Scott to the days when he and his twin brother set the standard for aggressive (some would say nasty) high school wrestling. After an All-American career and large accomplishments at the University of Virginia, Scott now leads the alma mater of The Spaniard, Lock Haven University. The standards there are for hard work and pride in representing one of the smaller D1 programs. As of this recording, LHU was ranked in the Top 20, and you’ll start to understand why: Because the head coach helps make everyone want it (wait for it) Moore.

The Spaniard will tick off Five Essentials for Success that he has observed as a wrestler, Spanish student, fighter, and now as an author/speaker/podcaster. You’ll just have to accept that one of these essentials is simply not in your control (Burn! You’ll have to listen to see what that one is). But the others are: Learning, Implementing the Learning, Putting in the Time, Building Skill and (Burn!).

Do you like the way you eat? The Spaniard likes the way he eats, and in this episode he talks about it. Are his choices perfectly clean and ultra-scientific? Not by a long shot! As he freely admits, many would probably call some of them just plain wrong. But you know what? His method works for him. And at the very least, it’s a useful comparison to your own system (or lack of system). And it’s proven to be a darn good way to fuel him as he keeps up with his wife and kids and dog and works long, hard days building his business. So take a listen to worthy tips such as: ”Hey, would Conan the Barbarian have been able to eat this?”

Here’s the heads-up that The Spaniard texted Dread about what you are about to hear: ”I just recorded an episode that left me extremely dizzy and you’re either going to love it or completely dislike it.” Dread later replied, ”Holy h***. That is raw and golden. Actually brought tears to me.” The Spaniard replied, ”Maybe too raw.” Dread said, ”Shut up, I have to hear this again.” It’s catharsis and a declaration and most of all, it is The Spaniard's challenging himself. That saying, ”Learn to Be Bold”? This is where it culminates in more ways than one.

Here’s a paradox for you: The Spaniard is starstruck by this guest (you’ll hear him say so), but they could not be more comfortable with each other. Between the UFC and other promotions, Chael Sonnen has been a top MMA fighter for twenty years. You might also know him as an analyst on ESPN and elsewhere--not to mention from some films and "Celebrity Apprentice." You know there’s camaraderie when Sonnen doesn’t mind The Spaniard’s looking back fondly on one of Sonnen's losses. Also when Sonnen highlights the fact that Rick Story, The Spaniard’s notable opponent, is really a nice guy. Speaking of which, Sonnen is a favorite of The Spaniard’s wife, Amanda, so you know he’s worth a listen.

(Advisory: This episode has some disturbing stories sensitively told) As a young cop, Chris Voss was an adrenaline junkie chasing bad guys.

Say that you’re hiking in the Ukraine and come across a young American YouTuber. You fall into conversation and learn that he’s taking time off from teaching English in Spain.

Would you not leave that hike with your head spinning? Well, you’re in luck: You don’t have to buy boots and a ticket to the Ukraine.

You’ll hear Philadelphia in the voice of this episode's guest, Jonathan ”Chef Jonny Mac” Adams. Which makes it all the more enjoyable when he uses words such as ”terroir” (how soil affects flavor) and ”astringent” (a taste quality to be avoided). That’s when he’s discussing the precise results that he and his business partner Damien achieve in their Rival Bros. Coffee. Jonny and The Spaniard crossed paths through their mutual friend Jackie, made semi-famous by The Spaniard’s memoir ”Driven.” We’ll kitchen-hop a lot in this one, gang!

Yes, Scott Adams! ”Hey,” The Spaniard thought with his typical bravado: ”I like his book, why not invite this world-famous figure onto my little show?” Amazingly, Scott responded, so now we’re treated to this discussion of persuading yourself and others, shaping reality, the limitations of passion, systematic living and more, Oh, and speaking of treats, listen for Scott to simultaneously praise and pick on The Spaniard. Talk about (wait for it) comic gold!

In simplest terms, this episode is about changing the publishing schedule of the podcast. But that came about as The Spaniard dug deep into his ultimate vision and purpose—which happens to be of global proportions. True! Here’s a tiny taste of what you’ll hear: ”When I’m long dead and gone, generations from now … I don’t care about Charlie, I care about what Spaniard represents. I want SPANIARD to be this thing that CHANGES THE WORLD.” The Spaniard explains how it starts with betting on yourself just like one of your favorite figures from childhood did.

The Spaniard discovered this guest through his TED Talk ”A Pro Wrestler’s Guide to Confidence.” Mike Kinney (aka Cowboy Gator Magraw) learned to Turn It Up and become his ”biggest version of himself” by way of a cowboy hat, leather chaps and a Speedo. Passion for performing carried him through the grind of the independent circuit to the edge of the WWE. Gator and Spaniard discover that they've led parallel lives—except for those two times that Mike got himself suspended running for student council. Way to bleeping rock the vote, Gator!

Five days a week, during AMX episodes, anyone can hear The Spaniard share his latest learnings from daily reading. This week, you get bonus reflection. Because The Spaniard is eager to discuss how two books plowed fresh furrows into his mind: ”Tribe” by Sebastian Junger and ”Never Split the Difference,” by Christopher Voss.” He muses with Dread on ideas including shared purpose, communities of loners, communicating experience through ceremony, and practicing empathy. Dread adds some nonsense about creating his own echo effect while listening to The Spaniard. (Feel free to fast-forward through that part.)

He’s had highs, he’s had lows, and now he constantly seeks growth, adventure and contribution. Johnny Waite (as heard on the Spartan Up!

You’ll hear particular phrases and ideas over and over in this episode: Battling adversity together. Having a purpose bigger than yourself. Finding a passion. A sense of community. The specifics are awe-inspiring. Jonathan Lopez and Earl Granville, both military veterans and amputees, are members of Operation Enduring Warrior, which supports wounded veterans tackling challenges of their choosing. In this case, it was the next day’s Spartan Race. You’ll never discover anything more humbling or inspiring than the work these guys do.

Talk about fascinating turns along the road of life. Dr. Robert Huizenga thought he’d go into show business but ended graduating from Harvard Medical, then finally did end up on TV as an advisor for shows such as "The Biggest Loser" and "Extreme Makeover." In between, he was an NFL team doctor whose memoir led to the movie ”Any Given Sunday.” In this episode he and The Spaniard talk about passionate pursuits, what makes a true winner, transitions for athletes and more. Listen for the wrestling challenge that Dr. H throws out (did we mention that he was a D1 All-American?), as well as his opening the door to appearing on another episode. Let’s hope so!

Here’s the first Spaniard podcast with a guest who’s found himself to be a Warrior Monk. Brian Jennings’ NFL career consisted of 208 consecutive games, all for the 49ers. His expertise in optimizing performance and recovery led him to found health clinic MindWellMed.com and begin his podcast, The Brian Jennings Experience. As you’ll hear him say, don’t even try telling him that miracles don’t happen because seven years before making the Pro Bowl he was locked in a cell in a juvenile detention center. That’s when he started learning to find his purpose and to (as he puts it) ”only hit the gas.”

With good reason, you’ll hear the highest respect from The Spaniard toward today’s guest, Colonel Tim Nye, who you might know from The Spartan Podcast. He served over 32 years combined as a Marine and then in the Army, in operations all over the globe. You’ll quickly get a feel for why Colonel Nye has always been able to fit in with many different groups and settings, whether walking out of college for good (or so he thought), raking concrete in New Jersey, or realizing the types of injuries that military obstacle courses can inflict. Just don't look for him on the golf course (he'll explain why).

Remember that online video from fall of 2016 recorded by the guy who had just been attacked by a grizzly bear? He was still bloody and torn up? You will if you saw it. Now you’re about to hear The Spaniard meet that very guy—Todd Orr. You’ll learn three things about being ultra-prepared: (1) It can’t always prevent crisis, but (2) it can help you avoid it, and (3) it can help you survive. You’ll also learn how fast a grizzly can run (Hint: Way faster than any human ever) and where to get fantastic premium knives.

Finally! That’s what the hardcore MMA fans who follow The Spaniard will say about this episode. Because it’s straight fight talk with Ben C. of CombatDocket.com and the Combat Docket Radio podcast. This is good stuff, including: How a fight reflects overall personality and lifestyle … How the greatest achievement in UFC history might not make that fighter the Greatest of All Time … and how weight management differs from weight cutting and is a matter of respect. Extra points if you memorize The Spaniard's weight to the decimal on the morning of this recording.

This episode is nothing special except for a few things: (1) It came after a day with nine other recordings, including interviews with a former NFL player, a bear attack and others (2) It was preceded by a shooting star (3) It took place in a former Olympic Village (4) The Spaniard couldn’t breathe (sort of) (5) It was recorded after midnight (sort of) (6) The guest had returned to redeem himself (sort of) (7) It has a musical interlude (8) It features priceless lessons from two pals running a grueling Spartan Race.

This recording was one of those times to step back and see what form this overall effort is taking. The Spaniard and Dread talk about working to build a Perennial Seller as described by Ryan Holiday. It’s not glamorous, it’s not always fun, it’s work day in and day out for (so far) no money, but (as you’ll hear repeated in this episode) that’s how it’s done. The guys talk about other team members—the ”mysterical” Sugar and the helpfully-challenging Drew Swope. And maybe … you! If this particular grind calls to you, listen for The Spaniard to give out his phone number yet again. That perhaps-foolish-seeming trust has attracted good things. We can’t wait to see what will happen next.

Why does The Spaniard get up so early in the morning? It was the influence of Andy Dziedzic (DZ). Why does The Spaniard leap before he’s completely ready? Also due to DZ. He's also influenced how The Spaniard views money and his willingness to play the long game. Andy helps lead a financial advisory with clients nationwide. He’s fueled by experiencing scarcity firsthand, an early start to his working life and a passion for building knowledge. Isn’t it DZ to see the overlap here? (OMG, see what we did there??)

What if The Spaniard live-streamed video and recorded his podcast at the same time? Wait, you ask: Hasn't he been doing that every weekday morning lately? Yes and no: He's been recording AMX during his morning Facebook Live, but he has yet to turn the entire live stream into a podcast episode--until now. Yes, people, this is audio of creating a video of creating audio--a nesting doll of production if there every was one. Why? Because this will help make the podcast a complete audio record of The Spaniard's career development. And because it's a bold experiment. Did someone say BOLD? We're in.

Many of you rise early every morning and find The Spaniard on Facebook Live for zestful teachings from the latest book he’s reading. Along the way, he records his daily 8-minute podcast, which joins the longer Tuesday and Thursday episodes. That short show is called AMX, short for "AM Excellence"—a sure-fire way to shoot zip and learning into your day. This episode highlights the development of both the show and the brand new AMX T-shirt (Thanks, East Cape Clothing!) You’ll learn more AMX trivia than you probably will ever need, including the lackluster original title, the other abandoned title, and what is hidden in the new shirt graphic.

How did Kye Smith become such a skilled drummer that some find him the best they’ve ever seen? How did his YouTube videos rack up millions of views? How did his drum kit take him from rural Australia to Madison Square Garden? And how can he be so doggone humble about all of this? The Spaniard tracked him down and throws out the questions on our behalf. These even lead to a mention of the game of cricket, but don’t let The Spaniard’s quip about that (wait for it) bug you.

Don’t look now, but The Spaniard turned another fan into a friend. We met Chad Miller back in Episode 110. Now he was up from Dallas on business and drove hours to spend time with The Spaniard—a meal, a workout and power conversations. Chad speaks of his recent showing at the U.S. Obstacle Course Racing Championships (that's when you'll hear about zombies) and his appreciation for being pushed mentally and physically. All of this helps him toward his goal of being a buffalo. Yup, you read that right. You’ll have to listen to know what it means.

Happiness is fame and low body fat, right? Wrong! Who says so? Drew Manning, and you might already know that he has a TV show and six-pack abs, so what gives? Here’s what: As a personal trainer, Drew invented the Fit2Fat2Fit experiment—he purposely gained and lost 76 pounds to better understand his clients and their relationships to food and exercise. Here he tells The Spaniard how it helped him gain insights into his personal demons, parenting and his sense of purpose. This talk will be Mountain Dew for your soul.

Yes, there really is a Top Gun—the Navy Fighter Weapons School, where select aviators and officers receive advanced training and prepare to teach at their own units. The Spaniard’s guest, Dave Berke, was both a Top Gun student and instructor during his 23 years as a Marine, which included combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. Dave shares principles that fostered success in his career and the missions that he joined, and he stresses how they translate exactly to any endeavor. Some quick previews: Mental strength trumps physical … Stop dreaming and commit … Sabotage your own escape routes … Accept your fears … Lock up doubt … Only you can defeat you … Reveal your flaws and save others from your mistakes. You’ll also hear about the supreme importance of relationships—such as the one founded on this day between these two fighters.

Why would someone work over two years on a project for an audience numbered only in the dozens? And what can the rest of us learn from it? The Spaniard and Dread draw lessons from the play that Dread has been developing, first mentioned way back in Episode 20. The conversation touches on deep preparation, trusting your gut, and adjusting emotionally when you reach a long-term goal. There’s also talk about ”cutting the brush in front of you” when you can’t know what’s ahead. Oh yeah, Dread still loves those frontier analogies.

Let's all hold The Spaniard to the promise that he makes Matt Anderson at the end of this episode. He owes Matt big-time for creating his website and all of his T-shirts during his fight career. But you’ll see that these were labors of love that go back to their school days. It’s crazy fun to hear them look back on pizza lunches and that time with the rattlesnake. Plus hearing Matt’s stories about Channing Tatum, Matthew Broderick, Amy Adams … consuming all the wrong things before and during marathons … bluffing his way into Oakland Arena … and just plain taking leaps of faith and pursuing what he loves. Which, oh by the way, led the guy to win two Emmy awards!

A list of the highlights of this conversation doesn’t tell the whole story: Chad Miller overcame serious disadvantages to excel in sports, sales and blogging; he has a fruitful marriage; and he had a (literally) striking encounter with a legend of business and politics. You’ll hear the difficult lessons in each of those areas: How Chad learned the hard way about the dangers of coasting on talent and getting lost in ego. He now stands firm in his values and his appreciation for relationships and authenticity. That’s what led him to contact The Spaniard and become a charter member of AMX-tended. Good thing, because now we get to hear more of Chad's great stories, including his intersections with Hollywood and why you'll find him every Sunday on an NFL sideline!

The Spaniard spent the weekend beach-hopping—sort of. He just spoke in Daytona Beach, at the National Wrestling Coaches Association convention, and now he’s seaside with family in Ocean City, Maryland. He stumbled upon a humble corner to record with Dread about how he ”sniffs out” his own kind on trips … how some seeds take a long time to bear fruit … and how you might just need to go on your own personal retreat. Oh, and The Spaniard announces a great upcoming interview!

Larry Hagner knows what men want to talk about: Relationships, Money, Sex … and this conversation gets into the other three major areas as well. His work at GoodDadProject.com connects men from around the globe to support and educate each other, and in turn that teaches him how to reach his utmost as a husband and father. Larry has been a key friend and mentor of The Spaniard, and this talk includes comparing notes on growing a podcast and general business development. In Larry’s words, theirs is a Radical Relationship. (Stick around for the story of another connection torpedoed by ... Larry’s name!)

The name Amelia Boone is virtually synonymous with ”First Place Female.” And this is at the highest level of Spartan Race, Tough Mudder competition, plus wins in Ultra Races. Besides which, she’s an attorney for Apple! But she’s a humble star. You’ll hear how gracious she was when this recording began with technical difficulties. And she emphasizes the soft sides of her hard sports: Connecting with fans and running for joy rather than not to lose. She also highlights fine points of her full life such as erring on the side of saying Yes, reading in the sauna and always staying half-packed. (14 pairs of shoes in her car trunk!)

Okay, this episode? You just could not ask for a better conversation between two thoughtful wrestling/fighting bros. The Spaniard and Ben Askren step quickly into the buzz of the day—Mayweather vs. McGregor—and then they roll on about trash talking in general; focusing on strengths versus weaknesses; talking to kids about drinking; and lots more. Ben was a two-time NCAA Division 1 Champ, Olympian, and Bellator Welterweight Champ and is the current ONE Welterweight Champ, as well as co-founder of Askren Wrestling Academy. This episode will expose you to the full meaning of his foot tattoo: Live Free, Be Happy.

Meet your Spartan Race team, gang—The Spaniard and his three brothers (one from another mother) recorded this episode after surviving a punishing (they even call it deadly) 8-mile course up and down a mountain. You’ll hear how they both were and were not prepared for this extreme challenge and why they recommend it so highly. Not only that, they’re recruiting YOU. The Spaniard puts out the call for a team to tackle another Spartan Race sometime soon. And he emphasizes that this includes ”normal” people, not just the insanely fit. So put on your Crick Shoes (a reference explained in the episode) and get ready to leave it all on the course.

Lee Witt knows success as an executive, author, speaker, athlete and leader of Seattle's BrickHouse Show Band. He is quick to reach out to others with strong ideas and energy such as Tim Grover, who is often quoted by The Spaniard. Later Lee reached out to The Spaniard himself, and now they regularly expand each other’s world. In this episode, you’ll hear them in a world-famous setting after a special evening. Their talk covers Will Smith’s treadmill test, human connection, facing off with titans, overcoming mishaps, finding humility, maximizing potential, and more. Including what The Spaniard calls a Mom Word. (listen for it!)

Brace yourselves for a title change, people. "A Fighter’s Mindset - The Spaniard Podcast” is becoming "SPANIARD101: Learn to be BOLD.” There could be no better time for this pivot than Episode #101. You'll hear The Spaniard and Dread break down the reasons. They have clarified a core matter: The Spaniard teaches how to be bold. And he demonstrates how to be bold in one area after another: wrestling, fighting, family, business and more. Anyone pursuing change needs to absorb his basic lesson that you’ve got to make the leap, take the risk, follow your own path. Just as ECONOMICS101 is a place to go for instruction, SPANIARD101 is where to go to increase your understanding of how to live your fullest life.

The 100th episode of A Fighter’s Mindset (aside from the 250+ AMX episodes) is one to remember. The Spaniard sits down with a legend of sports marketing, Brandon Steiner, in his office at Steiner Sports. The conversation looks both back and ahead. Steiner recounts his pioneering role in today's athlete endorsements, sports bars and sports memorabilia, enterprises built on resilience and seeking first to benefit others. He discusses interactions with Rick Barry, Lawrence Taylor, Mariano Rivera and Mark Zuckerberg—among thousands of other luminaries. He also asks The Spaniard to forecast the future of the UFC and of MMA in general. Then these two geek out big time on books. Speaking of which, as you'll hear, Steiner's memoir might just have the Best. Title. Ever.

Duane Finley doesn’t call himself a journalist despite being senior editor for FloCombat.com and having years of MMA articles published in the likes of Bleacher Report, Sports Illustrated, FanSided and MMA Junkie. His calling is as a storyteller, whether the subject is an unknown or a headliner. He strikes up conversations in airports just to give the gift of attention. Give yourself a gift by listening to how he and his wife took a leap of faith into his career (he’ll continue that story in a book launching this fall); his breakdown of the laws of gratitude and attraction; his uncompromising standards as a writer; transcending his own best work; and much more.

You’ll hear his old skills at work as he leads the students through topics including standards, values, respect and leadership. He also takes questions, including sharing his prediction for a high-profile upcoming fight. He gives Conor McGregor props while saying that ... well, you'll just have to listen to hear what he thinks.

This Dreadisode was recorded in a mobile studio (the Spaniard’s stuffy Subaru) after a long, productive session at a remote office (9.5 hours inside a Sheetz store). The guys share the big thoughts of the day. One is inviting listeners into AMX-tended, which involves your messaging The Spaniard after each AMX episode to deepen engagement in yourself and others. Another thought is sponsoring The Spaniard's entry into classrooms in the form of his book and Skype talks. There's also digging into the meaning of ”Spaniard” itself--not only one man’s fight name, but your title as well. Take a seat in the Subaru and hear why.

Today you'll learn that a different kind of professional trained with The Spaniard and other warriors during his club days in New Jersey. It was Dr. Tom, a chiropractor and eventually the owner of multiple health & wellness centers. The early years of the UFC inspired Dr. Tom to study jiu jitsu and throw down with the best talent and hardest workers he could find. That ambition led him to rub elbows with the likes of Bill Goldberg, Derek Jeter and Odell Beckham, not to mention multiple UFC champions. He shares his top success tips in this energetic conversation. One thing you won’t hear, though? Dr. Tom’s last name. But you’ll get clues to how to find it.

Andy Main is a gym co-owner and the reigning welterweight King of Pancrase, the premier MMA series in Japan. When he was only 18, he and The Spaniard started beating each other up as members of the same training team. In this talk, they fondly recall those days (dreading the Russians! taking spin kicks from 300 pounders!) and compare notes on fighting, building a business and the daring act of marriage. You’ll hear valuable tips on controlling emotions, saying true to your own approach, and much more. Plus what might be a new word for you: Ronin.

Nothing to here hear but a couple of rabid readers. The proudly nerdy side of The Spaniard is on full display as he and Dread dig into recent books featured on AMX episodes and tout the power of reading in general. They discuss how reading stays with you in the long term even when if it might not in the short term, and how it makes you put up or shut up. Just how passionate is The Spaniard about reading? He talks about choosing it over his girlfriend! Also: You’ll hear how you might score a free copy of one of his new favorite reads.

Who would have predicted that a grade-school wrestling pal of The Spaniard's in Pennsylvania would wind up in Nebraska? Much less become a high school valedictorian, a 4.0 Engineering major, then owner with his wife of a gymnastics training center with two locations and hundreds of students? This is a fascinating review of how Erik Lilla has passionately pursued goals all of his life and continues to dream big. Oh, and as far as predicting all of this, you'll hear at least two possible answers. One is The Spaniard's dad. The other is Erik's hoagie sales partner from school days.

But the rest of his career, he lost only one match. Then came two NCAA championships, two Olympic teams, a Pan-American Games gold medal and much more. You’ll hear Kerry break down that turnaround, share how he’s built his coaching career around Servant Leadership, and explain why memories matter more than medals. Oh, and we'll hear his part in The Spaniard’s Carpe Diem tattoo!

No state has high school wrestling more competitive than Pennsylvania's, yet Spencer Lee had a perfect record all four years--until his final match in his final state tournament. His classmates were astounded. And you will be astounded by how easily he discusses that loss in this episode. That's because he never pursued titles anyway--only getting the most from himself. This is a fascinating conversation with a fierce-yet-balanced competitor wise beyond his years. We can all follow his career at national powerhouse Iowa and beyond. He has all the tools to continue to impress.

But this one featured The Spaniard, and Coach Friday quickly came to recognize a kindred spirit. He got The Spaniard with his players to deepen their mental toughness and sharpen their sense of purpose, and he found great benefit for himself as well. Here Coach and Spaniard discuss their shared faith in hard work, preparation, consistency, thoroughness … and how to maintain faith itself during life’s darkest moments.

In today's AMX, we talk: great influences, the power of multiple minds and a unique proposal from me
No recording by The Spaniard has included more laughter than this one. His camaraderie with Chris Spealler goes back to their being college wrestling teammates. They ran parallel tracks back then and later, when each followed a continuing hunger for competition. For Chris, this meant throwing down in the very first national CrossFit Games, and eventually six more. He and a partner opened the first CrossFit affiliate in Utah, and later Chris founded Icon Athlete, an online resource for all levels of CrossFit training. He even put on MMA gloves for a few bouts! (Sorta) That didn’t go well, but it takes nothing away from his insights on competing, negotiating phases of life and providing an example.

It was a big game for Kevin Saum. He scored a touchdown. And a little later, he nearly died on the field. This was after shaking off days of symptoms from concussion and after years of striving to make his number 37 stand for toughness. Looking back, he shudders at the risks he took, but he doesn’t blame his opponents or coaches. He blames a mindset that made him ignore pain and his own misgivings. Now, with personal appearances and his podcast ”Heads ’n Tales,” he seeks to share the stories of other athletes less fortunate than he was, and to help others avoid and overcome injuries. This talk comes just over a year after The Spaniard appeared on Kevin’s podcast. It’s an outstanding (wait for it) skull session.

Just over twenty years before this recording, The Spaniard's brother Scott said to him in a heartfelt letter, "Just keep this between us." But now we all get to hear it. With permission, The Spaniard shares Scott's sentiments as The Spaniard was about to compete for a high school state championship. Scott wrote it during a break in his own studies. It will touch you to know what young man said to another. Some young listeners will also learn about something called cursive. (No, it doesn't involve swearing.)

After a string of solid interviews on the podcast, this episode features The Spaniard catching up with Dread, who is embarrassingly full of praise for him and who also wrote this description. He finds The Spaniard consistently engaging, entertaining and instructive in his recordings. The Spaniard notes that he considers himself primarily a student and insists that he is regularly visited with self-doubt. Just thankfully not enough to overcome his belief in himself. The big question is: Where does Tom Freakin’ Brady fall in all this? The guys muse on that as well.

As a tough Philly grade schooler in the 80s, Phil Migliarese was interested in … yoga and jiu jitsu?? Yep. This was on top of the influence of his strict father—a businessman who embodied and insisted on respect for others. Then came a terrible car accident during high school that deepened Phil's desire to make the most of his life. All of this led him to gain a fifth-degree black belt and, along with his brother and fellow grappler Ricardo, open the leading-edge facility Balance Studios. Their trainees have included The Spaniard, who even while a UFC fighter regularly found himself bested by Phil’s deceptively skillful students. No wonder Phil’s schools have this saying above the entrance: "Leave your shoes and ego by the door."

Barry Krammes’ story as an athlete could have ended when he found he was poor at baseball. Or when he narrowly missed two state finals in javelin. Or when his throwing regressed in college. Instead, a personal tragedy galvanized him to become a two-time All-American and place as high as sixth in international competition. Now he shares his passion as a coach and host of The American Javelin Festival. You’ll enjoy this talk about how far you can toss (and ride) a stick.

Max Major's first pro gig came at age fourteen with magic tricks at a birthday party, but his life really changed when hypnosis helped his dad end decades of smoking. That made Max dive deep into the workings of the mind. Now he's a world-renowned mentalist--an entertainer who also conducts training at the likes of Microsoft, Capital One and the Department of Defense. This talk with The Spaniard highlights how each of us can gain from a better understanding of influencing others, as well as the fundamental power of simply asking for what we want. We even get an illustration of that from Bruce, Max’s persistent pooch!

On February 12, 2011, Joe Lozito’s quiet morning subway ride suddenly became a nightmare, as a knife-wielding stranger rushed him saying, ”You’re gonna die, you’re gonna die.” As Joe tells the Spaniard in this talk, ”Getting stabbed seven times wasn’t the worst part of the day. First it was a physical altercation, then it was a psychological altercation.” Joe survived, barely, due to his instincts, thinking and devotion to his family, his Fighter’s Mindset revealed by horror. Joe credits his long, close following of the UFC as preparing him for this desperate day. Later, he was on hand for the peak of The Spaniard’s fight career, and the two formed a friendship based on intimate knowledge of fighting—for sport, for survival, and to gain the most from life.

In the Spaniard’s home area, the name Jody Strittmatter means many different things: Wrestling champ at state and Division II national levels; All-American at Iowa; family man who has teamed with his brothers both as an athlete and coach; and now Co-Founder/Coach/Director of Young Guns, one of America’s premier wrestling clubs. What emerges in particular from this talk is two familiar four-letter words: HARD WORK. Jody cites the examples of his diligent mother and his dairy farmer father and uncle as helping form his own aim to outwork other world-class competitors. Even if it meant that highest of sacrifices all through high school and college—never drinking soda!

Ah, but things happen in life, and TJ speaks from experience when he says that any fight could be your last.

Projects can benefit greatly from a fluid dynamic such as the guys display in this episode. The Spaniard hits record without even knowing what Dread wants to talk about. It turns out to be the fact that the podcast has come to feature more interviews. This is something of a departure from the original plan for the show, but the stories and lessons were just too good not to provide listeners. Now you'll see why The Spaniard finds himself on the way to being the new James Lipton. Also not to be missed in this talk: The Spaniard's kids' passport pics, a humbling tattoo, and a new piece of Spanguage coined before your ears.

Ariel Helwani personifies A Fighter’s Mindset and is huge in the world of MMA—but not for putting on gloves. It’s for his use of microphone and keyboard. The Spaniard calls him THE GUY in MMA Reporting, as do his eight straight World MMA Awards as Journalist of the Year. He never aims to be the story, but you’ll like hearing it: He grows up in Montreal imitating Marv Albert, shrewdly gains gigs involving the Olympics and HBO, and positions himself to be a leading voice in a sport years before it goes mainstream. Nothing stops him—not a broken ankle, not an unusable studio phone, not dismissal from Fox News, and not the yanking of his press badge by the UFC. So listen in on Fighter interviewing Fighter.

There are reasons for the phrase ”the dead of winter.” March is doing its job of coming in like a lion while The Spaniard battles a cold and cough through this recording. The upside of his sick days on the couch include a first-time viewing of ”Frozen” and watching state finals matches highlighted by one wrestler’s quest to cap a perfect high school record. This leads into ”Sick Man’s Philosophy” on aiming for flawless consistency even when pushed toward surrender. John Wooden and Steve Gleason enter the conversation as The Spaniard and Dread discuss those times when you just might be forced to (watch for the callback to ”Frozen”!) let it go.

An early-stage entrepreneur such as The Spaniard could have no better mentor than Joe De Sena, who has repeatedly ground through bleak years of building businesses. Joe, a veteran adventure racer and founder of the premier series Spartan Race, literally ran the path that The Spaniard follows. They both seek to help people live better by pushing to their limits and beyond. On the line from Tokyo, Joe looks back on growing up both tough and earthy after pinging between hustlers in Queens and hippies in Ithaca. Now he lives on a farm in Vermont with his own answer to the Egyptian pyramids (it’s a story you won’t believe).

The good news is that a recent video by The Spaniard was by far his most-watched ever. The puzzling news is that it came about completely by accident, after he locked himself out of his house and improvised the video as something to do. He and Dread are still trying to draw lessons from this. One is that it wasn’t just an accident (correction!), because it had a backdrop of experience and skill-building. This discussions sheds light on how The Spaniard thinks about business versus spreading his message. He also shares why he has to be careful about stretching out on his bathroom floor.

Patrick Murphy readily recognizes particular veterans, legislators and military administrators with the title ”Great American.” Well, it takes one to know one.

For over a year, he was one of the top four managers of the U.S. Army, first as Acting Secretary and then as Under Secretary. He is beloved by both troops and civilian employees for deep understanding of and love for the military, significant initiatives and direct engagement. The Spaniard met Patrick through his brother Scott, another veteran and lawyer. What a talk they have here, about service, sacrifice, priceless spouses and much more--including Patrick's selfless aid to others during a tragic train accident.

There are times not to care what other people think, but this episode is about the opposite: When the perspective of others is all that matters. This discussion comes about for two reasons. One is that the podcast Show Notes seem to have found no audience. This is valuable knowledge that involves a crucial pivot in the use of the Notes. The other event was unique adversity faced by The Spaniard at an appearance. This caused him to slice-and-dice the viewpoints at play: His own and the crowd’s. The learning provides priceless precision for performing--both preparing for it and evaluating it. Also: There are land mines in The Spaniard's house.

You're about to meet The Spaniard's youngest interview guest ever—Derek Wilson is still in high school. And yet during this talk he teaches The Spaniard something. It has to do with how this young man gave himself the best chance to win a state title after a disappointing start to the championship tournament. This came only weeks after Derek was waiting to learn whether he would ever wrestle again. And that was six months after meeting someone who would help change his mindset forever—The Spaniard! This talk brings Derek's championship season full circle.

That was good timing, because his wife and daughter had both just dissed his grooming. You will hear why.

This episode dives into a specific evolution of The Spaniard’s business—the past, present and future of the AMX Fight Club, a place for those most interested in learning and applying A Fighter’s Mindset. The Spaniard and Dread trace how it came to be and the lessons learned as The Spaniard formed, led and observed this community. He and Dread have come to think deeply about various levels of engagement that each of us reach, even with those people and programs that influence us the most. This led to a milestone choice by The Spaniard that illustrates what he seeks to teach. Plus: The talk goes sideways for a bit on the word ”sage.”

Today we meet yet another treasured person from The Spaniard’s life. Mitch Johns first coached The Spaniard at age 8 and then throughout high school, through big wins and crushing losses. At the same time, Mitch was building what has become a thriving software company. He considers himself a coach even in his business life, recruiting ”good athletes” both literally and figuratively and leading them to maximize core strengths as well as nurture new skills. He will surprise you with his high regard for losses, and you’ll remember his reference to fishing for sharks. As with The Spaniard, he might just leave a mark on you forever. (That means something very specific that is a joy to learn.)

The Spaniard is brimming with inspiration after a special week. First he was in the audience to see hard-working country superstar Brad Paisley. Then he was the one on the stage, at two high schools back in his home area. He was humbled by huge effort on his behalf, as well as a touching encounter with a brave girl. On this trip with The Spaniard you’ll see bright lights, shiny trophies and a gleam of tears.

Those who know and love The Spaniard find only positives in his colorful professional fighting career. But there are those who don’t. They equate fighting only with anger and abuse.

He explains why he needed to fight, and why you should find your own kind of battle. And guess what? It doesn’t have to involve pounding people!

What load does your mind and body want to be under? You might never have thought in those terms, but that is phrasing that comes up in this episode. You’ll hear about testing your physical and mental limits to see yourself and your life more clearly. It happens during sprints on the treadmill, it happens reciting poetry while driving, it happens the way that works for you—if you PUSH to the edge and beyond.

Also, what exactly is "Competitive Greatness", and why should every one of us strive for it?
DRIVE was already central to the life of The Spaniard, both as a personal quality and the root word of his memoir’s title, but he recently gained a fresh appreciation of it. This was after an especially powerful group call with members of the AMX Fight Club. DRIVE is what these Fighters have in common, no matter their point in life—that basic urge to reach a goal. This episode is reflection on the nature of Drive, whether it can be fostered and what shapes its expression, including changes over time. This episode is brought to you by the letters ( ) and ( ). << You’ll find out when you listen!

During this interview, The Spaniard says, ”I love the fact that I got to wrestle for you. You’re one of a handful of the legendary.” He says this of Cary Kolat, who was one of his college coaches shortly after Cary had just wrestled in the Olympics. This was on top of an eye-popping record in Pennsylvania: 137-0 through high school with four state titles and 111-7 in college with two national championships. This talk will give you glimpses of the highest levels of hard work, mental discipline and intense competition, including coming to terms with heartbreaking losses despite unmatched preparation. One highlight: An evening of pushups that you will never forget.

As you stretch for goals, stress is inevitable. But there are ways to optimize chances for good results: Maintain a circle of advisers … Develop strength for the worst days … Stretch from atop a solid infrastructure … Learn about limits in yourself and others ... Be accountable and transparent. The Spaniard and Dread illustrate this discussion with references from ”Shoe Dog,” the outstanding memoir by Nike founder Phil Knight. Plus there's a nugget from that that leading educational film ”There’s Something About Mary.”

This is the second of two episodes that highlight the powerful influence of father-son relationships. The Spaniard continues talking to Muay Thai fighter and gym owner Chris ”CROM” Romulo. CROM muses over the lasting effect of exposing his young son to professional fighting, and he shares his heart for helping the children of absentee fathers. Listen for the poignant story of what one boy learned after watching his father in a boxing match. CROM also describes how he and his wife Sarah were affected by the devastation of Hurricane Sandy.
This is the first of two episodes that will get you thinking about your father. The Spaniard talks with Chris ”CROM” Romulo, a leading Muay Thai fighter for over 20 years and now owner with his wife Sarah of a training facility in his native Queens, New York City. CROM traces his past from craving the attention of his gambling-addicted, distant father … to running the streets with friends who also lacked male role models … to nearly dying in a senseless brawl … to becoming an amateur and professional champion in a combat sport that The Spaniard hails as the most intense of them all. This episode ends with a cliffhanger as CROM is lying in the ring at the lowest point of his fight career.

Sit down today with tissues and watch the documentary ”Gleason.” You’ll see a young couple, Steve and Michel, who have everything going for them, including his recently-concluded NFL career and their first baby on the way … except that Steve has just been diagnosed with ALS. This video blog for the child shows a father rapidly losing and gaining strength, and a mother despairing and overcoming. Watch it, put your own problems in perspective, be inspired … and then come listen to The Spaniard and Dread offer their highlights.
This episode grew out of Episodes 46 & 47, which presented The Spaniard Fight Story about Dread and his wife facing her medical conditions. Marc, a member of The Spaniard’s AMX Fight Club, asked if Dread’s attitude was always so positive. The short answer is no, which is a message of hope for everyone struggling daily in this area. As The Spaniard and Dread discuss, it starts with wanting a positive attitude and finding good role models. Then comes simple perseverance. Also: The Spaniard sounds extra sleek this time due to a fresh haircut.
The Spaniard shares his top takeaways from a special event filled with wrestling heroes: champions, coaches and a young man who lost 25 matches in his first season but was the most inspiring person of the night. You’ll hear about learning to lose, clinging to goals until your last breath, finding value in adversity, and pushing past fears as small as ear-piercing and as large as nerve disease. You’ll also hear how The Spaniard learned that he is clumsy and cannot park a car.
What were your thoughts after the recent Stitch Duran interview? This is the question that The Spaniard and Dread ask each other in this episode. The two reflect on Stitch’s example of compassion, skill and hard work. The Spaniard also adds to the behind-the-scenes picture that Stitch painted, recalling his pre-UFC days of having to make do without a professional cutman. You’ll be surprised that he survived. Even more so when he also talks about not wearing a winter coat back in the day.
The conversation continues with Stitch’s mentioning contact with nearly two dozen internationally-known figures, from film stars to fighters. It’s not name-dropping, it’s the life of a man who has boldly pursued his passions in service to others. Ultimately, his convictions led to a well-publicized dismissal from the UFC, but you’ll hear why even that has been a special experience for him. Rocky superfans such as The Spaniard will particularly like hearing about Stitch’s appearing in two of the Rocky movies (Stitch also mentions three other films in which he has appeared). Plus, there is a declaration of love from the heavyweight champion of the world!

If you ever need a cutman, hope that it is Jacob "Stitch" Duran. No one is better at taping hands, tending wounds and cradling hearts. With over 30 years experience in combat sports, he cares for fighters like they are his sons. More than once, this included The Spaniard. You’ll get to hear the two renew their friendship discussing tears and smiles in the locker room, equipment innovations and a long wait in a U-Haul van. Stitch looks back proudly on growing up a farm worker with admirable parents, confounding football opponents the Latino way, serving overseas during the Vietnam War, and ultimately working beside the likes of Mike Tyson, the Klitschko brothers, Cain Velasquez and countless other warriors. Open your soul wide for this one.

During this first week of the New Year, The Spaniard and Dread avoid the standard talk of resolutions but do grow reflective. They look back on the changes during the past year while embracing the need for more. Each of them has a fresh dedication to simply conversing as himself rather than as any broadcasting persona. They also look forward to offering a deepening variety of content on the podcast, including more interviews with figures of national prominence. You’ll hear about two possible upcoming guests. Also: Dread predicts that by this time next year, The Spaniard will be twice the author he is now.
Recording on the morning of Christmas Eve, The Spaniard asks Dread to continue sharing how he and his wife Janet are coping with Janet’s diagnoses of dementia and breast cancer. Dread reiterates how much he and Janet find to appreciate as they stay focused on the present while hopeful and realistic about the future. You’ll hear about practical considerations such as safe driving and avoiding getting lost, as well as the fact that Dread and Janet still do what loving married couples do. Yup—they bicker.

This is the second in the series called Spaniard Fight Stories. It’s not about The Spaniard in the cage, it’s about one of us applying A Fighter’s Mindset to a primary life challenge. Today the Fighter is none other than The Spaniard’s co-host Dread, who shares how he and his wife Janet are facing two diseases that bring uncertainty to their future. This has recently led Dread and Janet to start sharing their lives in a new podcast—an example of fighting back against circumstances. Dread emphasizes that they have too much gratitude to move forward without joy. Speaking of which, you’ll get a kick out of the scenes from back when Janet managed a motel. Shady stuff!
This discussion was inspired by a little fighter girl thrilled to receive an autographed picture of The Spaniard. Her delight led to a recollection of childhood heroes. Most of you will recognize their names. You’ll see that The Spaniard and Dread both had an early start in their interest in maximizing human potential—even if some of their heroes were not flesh and blood. Seek out the show notes for this one, because they feature a watercolor painting mentioned during the episode. It is the work of our own mysterious Dread.
Recent episodes have mentioned The Spaniard’s latest book signing. Now you get to be on the scene where The Spaniard autographed ”Driven” and talked to friends and fans, some of whom went over to a corner for quick interviews by Dread. This will take you back in time for glimpses of The Spaniard as student, athlete and annoying little brother. Okay, okay, the word ”annoying” is not applied, but isn’t it safe to assume? Another word to listen for is "blowout." Yup, it means just what you think it means.
This episode is a catch-up conversation filled with lessons. After a longer-than-usual gap between recordings, The Spaniard brings Dread up to speed on new developments in his career: recent talks delivered, new appearances planned, and the launching of advertising for The Spaniard’s Mindset & Toughness Camp next summer (tell a young male athlete about it!). All of this illustrates the value of charging forward into new experiences while seeing learning opportunities everywhere. Also: The Spaniard is wearing Beats headphones, and this ties to a discussion of The Spaniard's future in rapping. Kinda.

Here is the first of a series called Spaniard Fight Stories. This is not about The Spaniard in the cage, it’s about one of us applying A Fighter’s Mindset to a primary life challenge. For Dave Wagner, the goal was to become healthy for the sake of his wife and soon-to-be-born child. This conversation occurs after a year of good choices: planning, journaling, eating mindfully, sweating, and embracing Uncomfortability within an uplifting relationship. Also: All of this might lead to someone’s getting to be Mickey Mouse!

No show notes have ever had more links and listings than this episode’s do. The references fly as The Spaniard and Dread embrace both imperfection and the pursuit of the opposite--and this is while The Spaniard is sitting on the floor of his perfectly imperfect basement. A partial list of this show’s topics includes Bill Walsh, Joe Montana, ”This is Us,” crying on planes, Turner & Hooch, Tim Grover, clouds, dirt, chocolate pudding, memory lapses and Peyton Manning, Oh, wait! You’ll also hear about a hairy baby!

Just listen to the new resources available to you. This podcast stream has gained thirty episodes in two weeks! That’s because The Spaniard has been uploading audio from his uplifting morning video series, AM Excellence (AMX). Also, The Spaniard has just launched the AMX Fight Club, a supportive community of Fighters learning each other’s stories and keeping each other accountable. It’s a place to seek the best life for yourself and others. Also: See why The Spaniard is cooking all of this up while standing at his kitchen counter.
Yes, The Spaniard and Dread know college, and The Spaniard knows grad school. But that’s not education. Those are just particular arenas for hard work and deep pursuit. What matters is ongoing learning and reaching for excellence in a personal passion. As shown in this episode, it can range from dancing to interpreting to excavating. Listen all the way through for the hunting story and Dread’s wordplay. He is (deluded that he is) one punny guy!

One long tangent turns into a fruitful episode (in more ways than one). The Spaniard mildly delves into Dread’s sleep patterns, and the conversation leads unexpectedly into discipline, consistency, systematic living, delayed gratification, and—what becomes the central topic—discovering your natural self. How can you live as simply and directly as possible, and most in line with who you were built to be? By gaining clarity about two basic questions: (revealed in the episode!). Also: Did you know that bananas (sorta) weren’t available before 1900? Dread can tell you all about it. See? Fruitful talk!

There is hearing, then there is doing. The Spaniard gets a special charge from especially receptive listeners, such as two basketball coaches who recently engaged him to help their players reach a new level of preparation. He also recently spoke to students who reminded him of himself twenty years ago. But beyond being heard is the satisfaction of seeing Fighters fight, actively applying principles that The Spaniard has found essential. Where do you lie on the spectrum of involvement? Also: Are you interested in losing weight eating french fries? (listen for it)

Listen in as The Spaniard introduces a new element to A Fighter's Mindset - The Spaniard Podcast. The daily series, AM Excellence, serves as your daily dose of morning inspiration.
Taken from his daily readings, as well as personal insight and perspective, The Spaniard delivers these short, insightful messages with the intent to instill an excellence mindset in all who listen.
Follow along LIVE at www.facebook.com/spaniardmma, M-F. (Be sure to follow and enable LIVE notifications for times and updates).
Here is the conclusion of the rich discussion between The Spaniard, his brother Ben ”ChAd” Brenneman and Dread. As a scholastic athletic director, Ben shares the four aims that he impresses on coaches so that winning will take care of itself. Both brothers reflect on how relationship choices intersect with pursuit of goals and how a turning point in The Spaniard’s career contributed to friction between them. All seems to be going well with the episode even as a question lingers from the first half of this recording: Will Dread’s dog behave himself?
He is famous on Twitter as @no1joes (220 followers!) and as ChAd (”Chief Advisor”) in The Spaniard’s book ”Driven.” It's Ben Brenneman, big brother of The Spaniard! In the first half of a packed discussion in Dread's kitchen, you’ll hear how Ben helped watch out for his kid brother as they both pursued wrestling through Division 1 programs and then on into The Spaniard’s pro fighting career. In between, Ben ignored shoulder problems to help The Spaniard win big on the reality TV competition ”Pros vs. Joes.” The mutual admiration and inspiration is evident as we learn how many grapes ChAd would allow The Spaniard during weight-cutting.
Here’s a podcast episode about a podcast episode. That’s how much benefit The Spaniard and Dread got from a recent interview of Rob Dyrdek on another podcast. The Spaniard relates highly to Dyrdek’s story of small-town-athlete-turned-inspiring-businessman, and Dread learned a lot as well. They discuss just a few of Dyrdek’s Ten Do or Die Principles: Being Obsessively Curious, Relentless Consistent, Passionately Compelled and Honestly Brilliant. You’ll walk away with new insight on the importance of continuously learning from others. Seek out the Show Notes for this episode for lists of The Spaniard’s and Dread’s favorite podcasts, as well as details on the gut-busting treadmill workout The Spaniard learned from UFC fighter Eddie Alvarez.
Me? A Fighter? Yes, you. The Spaniard and Dread urge you to adopt this title as you reach for goals that matter to you. They point to the ancient Fight or Flight response and to shining examples of fighters in sports, entertainment and public service. They discuss how two types of fighting—Reactive and Creative—figure into history and into inspiring lives. Need some time to come to identify yourself as a Fighter? No problem! The Spaniard explains how it was hard for him even after winning several professional cage matches. Also: What is going on with Dread’s beard?
Something is missing. That’s a common thought when progressing toward goals. For The Spaniard and Dread, what is missing is deeper engagement with the most active followers of A Fighter’s Mindset. The podcast turns a corner in this episode with a strong welcome for stories from goal-seekers at charlie-brenneman.com (contact). Another easy way to start forming a relationship with The Spaniard is to leave a comment at his daily AMX videos posted at facebook.com/SpaniardMMA. Also in this episode: The Spaniard applies a new adjective to Dread without fully knowing what it means.
You are not alone in your struggles. You might be confronting wrongdoing; being dismissed; straining to control your emotions; fighting to speak up; regretting defensiveness … The Spaniard and Dread touch on all of these while discussing a seemingly small incident of line-jumping at a store. The talk leads to valuable reminders of mindfulness, humility and continuous improvement. We also learn how The Spaniard manages to satisfy hordes of trick-or-treaters. Plus a little more bro-crushing on The Rock.
Recording before a live audience for the first time, The Spaniard and Dread dive into the saying ”How you do one thing is how you do everything.” What comes to the surface is intentionality. Find what matters to you most, align your life toward them, and keep going. Don’t be derailed by perfectionism, failures, or by dwelling on more-capable versions of yourself that don’t exist. This means you, Ohio State team that lost to the local-favorite Penn State Nittany Lions just the day before this recording. Not that The Spaniard mentions that …
Just before this episode was recorded, The Spaniard persevered through an audio failure while live-streaming a video. This illustrates the essential skill of continuing to perform during problems or detours. You can come to prize this about setbacks: They train you to survive setbacks. Consider adversity an important part of your preparation, along with daily repetition of key activities and steady escalation of complexity and challenge. Also: The Spaniard provides insight into how to eat a salad while holding a crying baby.
Ahhh, there’s nothing like hard work and lots of it. The Spaniard and Dread compare notes on the joys and challenges of long hours. On the bright side, there is peace to be found during early-morning starts, and there are good habits to absorb from toiling friends. On the dark side, there can be difficulty dialing back striving, as well as discouragement from failing to see returns. The guys share how they have learned how to even things out and aim to get the most from their efforts. Listen for the story of how The Spaniard’s train was stopped when he was almost home after a long day.
The Spaniard just ran the Army 10-Miler with his brother, a veteran, and he found inspiration in every direction. He describes competitors who bow to no challenge, and he highlights two thought-provoking T-shirts that he spotted. This leads to discussion of aging well and of leading versus following versus obstructing. We also gain Dread’s recommendation for protecting feet, whether we want it or not.
A college coach recently recruited The Spaniard to boost his team’s mental and physical capacities. You’ll hear how this work is helping high performers reach new levels of toughness and camaraderie through discipline and vulnerability. You’ll also hear how The Spaniard doggedly pursued a Mastermind group participant to allow continued growth. Plus, there are shout-outs to the remarkable Jocko Willink of Jocko Podcast, a discussion of something called emotional fluency, and new examples of old-guy vocabulary.
As demonstrated in the previous episode, Frankie Edgar is a champion not only in the UFC but as a person. Now The Spaniard and Dread review their takeaways from the interview. These include the power of a support team, the importance of finding hard work that you can love and the paradox of navigating toward goals that might be unreachable. Also: The Spaniard recalls a brush with Channing Tatum and starts rattling off the period table.
”You can be a good person AND the best in the world. Frankie is a perfect example.” The Spaniard says that in this extra-special episode featuring Frankie Edgar, active UFC fighter and former lightweight champion, whose friendship with the Spaniard began during college. Frankie's devotion to family, friends, teammates and training shines as he discusses a career that led from underground fighting to an upcoming bout in Madison Square Garden. Frankie was The Spaniard’s inspiration to pursue the UFC, and he is the best possible first guest on ”A Fighter’s Mindset.” Where else will you hear two guys compare notes on both changing diapers and breaking bones around their eye sockets?
The Spaniard and Dread fighting with each other?? Say it ain't so! Okay, it ain't so. But there was some frowning about podcast work during Dread's vacation, so this discussion is about partners negotiating challenges. It highlights the importance of rest and listening to yourself and to each other. There's also a reminder about what seagulls eat and a surprise at the end of the episode!
This episode concludes the review of The Spaniard’s memoir ”Driven: My Unlikely Journey from Classroom to Cage.” Discussion topics include: Persevering through unpleasant tasks; maintaining supportive and inspiring relationships; seeking out teachers and mentors; and preparing for the deep lows that often accompany high aims. As well as reminiscing about the birth of Gracie June Brenneman! The messages that shine through are: Don’t settle. Follow your passions. Be YOU. Also: A quick clarification on just who wrote the Declaration of Independence; a brief tangent on nicknames; and the first podcast appearance of a Spaniard family member!
Reading is vital for growth, so The Spaniard and Dread decided to present occasional book discussions. The first title they chose is The Spaniard’s own book, ”Driven: My Unlikely Journey from Classroom To Cage.” In the first of two sessions, they explain how the book came together and expand on certain sections. This talk touches on maintaining clarity about your own purpose, developing secondary skills demanded by your goal, and balancing risk with other desires and obligations. Also, there is some murkiness about authoring The Declaration of Independence.
Want a juicy example of pursuing a big goal with A Fighter’s Mindset? How about working for over 18 months to deliver a one-man stage show? Who did this? The Spaniard’s podcasting pal Keith ”Dread” Eldred! In this episode, hear why and how he did it and learn about key practices including starting small, working daily, building on plateaus, varying training and inviting failure. Also: The Spaniard keeps saying ”barber” instead of ”stylist.”
The Spaniard and Dread make a disclaimer early in this episode that they cannot officially discuss what they are discussing: Managing weight. You and your doctor have to decide what is best for you. Having said that, the guys share what has been useful for them. Here’s a preview of the simple takeaways: Drink Water, Record Everything, and Personalize Your System. Oh, and this: Plan Your Cheating. (Or does that mean that it’s not cheating?)
Talk about a rich piece of writing. ”The Man in the Arena" has inspired millions--and shamed unworthy critics--since Theodore Roosevelt voiced it in a speech over 100 years ago. The Spaniard has been the Man in the Arena, of course, and he and Dread walk through the passage in this episode. In drawing out its many lessons, they touch on an unlikely set of movie stars—Charlton Heston, Amy Schumer and Bruce Lee. Also mentioned: Gymnastics training, recovery from alcoholism, tribal elders and dirty dishes. You gotta hear about the dirty dishes.
Prepare to be inspired. This week The Spaniard took a new step that helped a new friend see a way forward. This happened after one of The Spaniard’s closest followers took him up on the offer of a consulting call. That person turned out to have a remarkable story of transformation, and the Spaniard gave him a specific way to start sharing it. This is how change ripples outward.
This episode will let you mix it up with famous fighters. The stories will take you in close with three UFC stars: Frankie Edgar, Georges St-Pierre and Jon Jones. You’ll hear what The Spaniard learned from each, and how each influences him to this day, every day. Also: Dread has a story about politicians that’s not political.
Yes, mindset matters. In this episode, you'll hear how one simple shift of perspective transformed The Spaniard's college wrestling career from mediocre to one win away from All-American. His key decision back then: HAVE FUN! And his decision now, when he starts to feel career pressure: HAVE FUN! Now it’s your turn. Take off that backpack full of rocks (The Spaniard will explain that) and rediscover joy. Also: Favorite movie moments from The Rookie and Dumb & Dumber.
It’s host versus co-host this time. The Spaniard finds competition essential while Dread questions that. The Spaniard gives a wrestler’s and fighter’s appreciation of flesh-and-blood opponents: how they have shaped him, how they have obsessed him, and how he sometimes has to search for their equivalents.
