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.

Today, we dive into the big picture of our decisions in life being destiny or simply chance, as well as the formation and mission of the Lt. Dan Band. A fun episode waiting to be listened to (but not as fun as I'd imagine a Lt. Dan Band concert would be!).

Kids 96 - I am Albert Einstein Apr 28, 2020

This one touches home because of the importance it gives to curiosity and wonder. As a dedicated lifelong learner and questioner, I found myself smiling throughout the book. Einstein has some great messages for us all, young and old. Read on...and ask away!

Talks 284 - Dean Karnazes, UltraMarathon Runner and Author Apr 23, 2020

Show notes

Like most of us, Dean Karnazes has found it easier to run a 200-mile race alone rather than trading off with teammates. And he celebrated his 30th birthday the traditional way—by running 30 miles. Okay, okay, those things are fun to say, but Dean Karnazes is a rare specimen who makes his living by testing his limits in ultramarathons and then sharing insights in inspiring books and talks. The Spaniard learned of Dean through his brother Scott, and that makes this discussion all the more special.
