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.

AMXtalks 233 - Kobi Yamada, NYT Best-Selling Author & CEO of Compendium May 30, 2019

Show notes

Hey, want to read a private text from The Spaniard? He sent this out after interviewing today's guest, Kobi Yamada: "Check out live-inspired.com. The company is Compendium. The guy who runs it is an author of kids books. Awesome ones. This seems to be an ecosystem of feel-goodness. A manifestation (in the form of solid goods) of the idea of living inspired." That message nails it, because inspiration is exactly what you'll find in this episode. Kobi and Spanny discuss human connection, making a positive difference, building an uplifting culture and the creation of Kobi's many books, one of them soon to become an animated film.

AMXbooks 753 - Educated 13 May 29, 2019

Show notes

Have you ever been absolutely 100% certain about something, only to begin questioning yourself? Maybe it was something that happened last week or when you were a kid. Maybe you perceived a conversation one way, and were positive that was the only way, only to question yourself shortly thereafter? On today's show, we see how the manipulation of people and family history drives Tara to her breaking point, only to rebound with a drive to read and study philosophy. Then, we end with yet another hard to believe interaction between Tara and her father.

AMXbooks 752 - Educated 12 May 28, 2019

Show notes

It's always great when you can link together great books and minds. On today's show, I connect Tara's traveling revelations with something I recently heard on one of Trevor Noah's Netflix specials. We also touch on Tara's not-connection with her family vs the connections she realizes abroad.

AMXbooks 751 - Educated 11 May 27, 2019

Show notes

The gold within you, Positive and Negative Liberty and the "animating surge of adrenaline" Tara feels upon learning about feminism are the topics in today's conversation.

As you listen and go on in your day, let us not forget those who have fallen in the service of our country. Let's honor their memories. Have a great Memorial Day, everyone.

AMXbooks 750 - Educated 10 May 24, 2019

Show notes

On today's show, we explore good people helping good people. Sometimes, it can feel like your hard work and perseverance can go for nought, but Tara experiences help and encouragement from outside sources that help keep her going. And we see how her natural instincts made that process difficult.

Securing grants and trying to give them back, fighting emotions of anger and rage and her father's terrible accident - Tara doesn't hide anything as she continues taking us on her journey. This is a must read. Enjoy the show.

AMXtalks 232 - Jon Fitch, Veteran UFC & Bellator Fighter May 23, 2019

Show notes

This episode could be a drinking game! Not that we're recommending that … Just sayin' that the Spaniard and his guest Jon Fitch keep finding commonalities in their paths: college wrestling careers that ended just when they were starting to figure things out … moving away from being a school teacher … thorough journaling that helped lead to a book … frequently feeling out of step with others … turning to reading for wisdom. Plus adventures in mid-west fighting and of course, making it to the UFC—except Jon's career has lasted longer and continued into Bellator MMA. It's kinda freaky how easy and inside-each-other's-head-and-experience this talk is. Enjoy.
