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.

AMXbooks 692 - A Walk in the Woods 12 Mar 05, 2019

Show notes

PA born and bred, I was curious to learn about the PA portion of the Appalachian Trail, and let's just say Bryson's take on the trail in PA is not a good one...dolp! On today's show, we dive into the PA AT, some basic and essential human needs as well as some history on the PA Anthracite Region. As a PA resident, today's episode is a special one, close to home.

AMXtalks 220 - Panel Talk at the 2018 SpartanX Leadership Forum Feb 28, 2019

Show notes

Let it be known that, at the SpartanX Leadership Forum in the fall of 2018, The Spaniard choked up. A couple times, in fact. You'll hear it during this panel-style talk moderated by Lonnie Mayne of Red Shoes Living. The crowd genuinely appreciated Spanny's vulnerability … not to mention his reeling off all of the topics in the most recent book he had read, Joe De Sena's "The Spartan Way." Have a tissue and take a bow, Span Man.

AMXbooks 687 - A Walk in the Woods 7 Feb 26, 2019

Show notes

Not only do we learn about Gatlinburg and Great Smoky Mountains National Park on today's show, we also learn about confidence and the ability to make decisions for ourselves. Bill Bryson taught me that it's OK to not do the thing I thought I was going to be able to do and to be aware of the pressure I (and others) put on myself.

AMXbooks 686 - A Walk in the Woods 6 Feb 25, 2019

On today's show, we hear how Bryson's perspective on distance takes a new look after hitting the AT, the significance of the AT shelters, and we see how one man's trash can be another man's treasure.
