This promises to be the sweetest series I've done on AMXbooks! See what I did there??? This book is extra special to me for a variety of reasons: 1. 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...

Death, "the way" and acceptance wrap up our journey with The Untethered Soul. What a tremendous read.

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.

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...

We wrap up our time with Marc and Co. by learning lessons on: resourcefulness in making things happen, the idea of winning or learning and the special gift we all have. I hope you've enjoyed our time with Way of the Warrior Kid as much as I have!

You hear me talk often about my kids, namely their unlimited supply of energy and unlimited thirst for life. To me, that's freedom. Today's lesson teaches us about the walls we build that block that light and the simple decision we make to determine how we live our life.

Just like achieving big goals and great success is not for the other person, neither is peace of mind and happiness. Today's show is another great reminder that our own inner happiness is within our reach. I leave you with a great call to action, too!

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...

There's no freakin' way to do justice to this episode in a description.

The guys just hit go and recorded. Frank shares his unique story: South Jersey boy experiencing the Parkway and having porches...

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. For more w/ The Spaniard:   Support The Spaniard Show -  https://patreon.com/c...

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...

I also share one of the coolest nuggets in this book as it relates EXACTLY to a phenomenon that I experience often (it has to do with tears). Let's do this!
