The Spaniard Show

In today's AMX, we talk: Blink 182, rolling with the punches when it comes to fate and two different strategies for setting goals. charliespaniard.com @charliespaniard

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 the...

In today's AMX, we talk: personal greatness, dank gyms and the elimination of excuses and why "yes" men/women need not be kept around. charliespaniard.com @charliespaniard

In today's AMX, we talk: how to add 7.6 days to your year, the 60-second break between rounds in a fight and why strong suggestions can beat strict rules in leadership. charliespaniard.com @charliespaniard

In today's AMX, we talk: Carpe Diem tattoos, why a national champ "only" trained two hours a day and how much time you can add to your life by getting up early. charliespaniard.com @charliespaniard

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 glea...

In today's AMX, we talk: little things and their BIG impact, why bankers value pennies and the unfortunate exit of chocolate from UCLA's locker room...dang, I love chocolate!

In today's AMX, we talk: "cold fish", why a wolf is as important to the pack as the pack is to the wolf and my limited NASCAR knowledge...all while driving home one important concept: the importance of TEAM. charliespaniard.com @charliespaniard

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. This came up in a recent social media comment critical of an upcoming Spaniard appearance, and this episode is his calm and thoughtful response. He explains why he needed to fight, and why you should find your own kind...

In today's AMX, we talk: Ghandi, keeping it simple and the never-ending thirst for knowledge that exists in the greatest leaders...all while keeping your actions and emotions in check. charliespaniard.com @charliespaniard

In today's AMX, we talk: favorites and fairness, leadership and getting what you earn and the need to be both Firm and Flexible. charliespaniard.com @charliespaniard

We talk: Anchors (thanks Rock for the inspiration), the most important element of leadership and the 5 Elements of Excellence. charlie-brenneman.com

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 a...

In today's episode, we touch on: DRIVE/Purpose, the 3 types of conditioning (physical, mental, moral) & why John Wooden chose NOT to recruit. www.charlie-brenneman.com

We talk leadership, mindset and the importance of camaraderie/community. 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...

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 cham...
