The Spaniard Show

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 Sp...

In today's AMX, we talk: Frankie Edgar and Stitch Duran, fear and anxiety and wise words from General MacArthur. @charliespaniard charliespaniard.com

In today's AMX, we talk: running toward the fight, living in a glass house and one awesome dude. @charliespaniard charliespaniard.com

In today's AMX, we talk: victims of success, war and football and the Fallacy of the Innocent Past. @charliespaniard charliespaniard.com

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 elbo...

In today's AMX, we talk: leadership qualities, winning (what is it anyway?) and taking PRIDE in your actions. charliespaniard.com @charliespaniard

In today's AMX, we talk: persistence, contagious intensity and learning from those before us. charliespaniard.com @charliespaniard

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 mar...

In today's AMX, we talk: repetition, "eye-bulging" intensity and how Vince Lombardi fell into coaching. charliespaniard.com @charliespaniard

In today's AMX, we talk: the free gifts of perfectionism and determination, relishing hurt and "a certain toughness." charliespaniard.com @charliespaniard

In today's AMX, we talk: the beautiful stank and grind of the practice room, being a block of granite and elevating the room you're in. charliespaniard.com @charliespaniard

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 r...

In today's AMX, we talk: "the favorite son", falling in love (with hard work) and DRIVE. charliespaniard.com @charliespaniard

In today's AMX, we talk: "The Old Man" (Vince Lombardi), perfection and the value in keeping it simple. charliespaniard.com @charliespaniard

On a recent Monday, The Spaniard was asked to speak at an event that Thursday, and in between he had a long round trip for a big meeting. Could he do the opportunity justice? Here he reviews that with Dread and takes us behind the scenes of a keynote delivered at Central Penn College. Plus you get to hear that entire speech, centered around three simple but powerful words: Standards, Accountabilit...

In today's AMX, we talk: true motivation, Crayola and the love of chasing a vision. charliespaniard.com @charliespaniard

In today's AMX, we talk: freedom through vulnerability, the power of war stories and going for the ask! charliespaniard.com @charliespaniard

In today's AMX, we talk: "one person in the room", fancy galas and your True North. charliespaniard.com @charliespaniard

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...

In today's AMX, we talk: assumptions (ugh!), the human touch (not The Boss's song, either) and some Five Guys Burger and Fries (yum!). charliespaniard.com @charliespaniard

In today's AMX, we talk: bright, shiny objects, Office Rules and Bieber (yes, Bieber). charliespaniard.com @charliespaniard

This Dreadisode happens after both of the guys have returned from trips. Dread's was for vacation, but The Spaniard's was a prime example of getting after it. He flew to Austin, Texas, to meet with Aubrey Marcus, an entrepreneur and podcaster whose company Onnit is a movement for getting the most from life. The big lessons here are to SURROUND YOURSELF WITH THE BEST and MAKE IT HAPPEN. You'll gain...

In today's AMX, we talk: saying "NO", inspiring others and sticking to your values. charliespaniard.com @charliespaniard
