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 760 - The Happiness Hypothesis 5 Jun 07, 2019

Show notes

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.

AMXbooks 759 - The Happiness Hypothesis 4 Jun 06, 2019

Show notes

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.

AMXtalks 234 - Marc Weinstein, Yogi & "Look Up!" Podcaster Jun 06, 2019

Show notes

Why is Instagram awesome? Among other reasons, because it deepened The Spaniard's interest in Marc Weinstein (who he first got to know through Spartan Race's podfest) as he observed Marc's uplifting energy and commitment to spirituality. 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.

AMXbooks 756 - The Happiness Hypothesis 1 Jun 03, 2019

Show notes

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.

AMXbooks 755 - Educated 15 May 31, 2019

Show notes

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.
