Life’s a Fight — Health
Life’s a Fight

Life’s a Fight is a metaphor for life. It’s a mindset and philosophy that shapes how you approach the challenges in front of you.

This is a low-key, down-to-earth podcast about the ups and downs of life. We’re talking everyday challenges and the big ones, too.

Using my life and experiences as the backbone—Spanish teacher turned UFC fighter, now a professional speaker with a wife and kids—you’ll hear stories, lessons and strategies to help you keep going when you don’t think you can.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed and could use some help fighting your fight, this is for you.

Hosted by former UFC fighter and teacher Charlie “The Spaniard” Brenneman.

*There are more than 2300 episodes of this podcast. Some of the older ones look different and have a different format.

AMXbooks 814 - Tough As They Come 9 Aug 22, 2019

Show notes

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.

AMXkids 60 - Way of the Warrior Kid 3: Where There's a Will 2 Aug 20, 2019

Show notes

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.

AMXbooks 812 - Tough As They Come 7 Aug 20, 2019

Show notes

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.
