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.

Talks 273 - Todd McClimans, Author of "Time Traitor" History Adventures Mar 05, 2020

Show notes

Back when he taught history to fifth graders, Todd McClimans made lessons come alive by assigning historical novels. But he couldn't find one to his liking for the American Revolution—so he wrote his own! His two follow-up books help kids explore the Civil War, and another is on the way. Todd's pathway to becoming an educator-author stretches back to devouring the Chronicles of Narnia as a child, writing his own Hardy Boys book, studying creative writing in college, and publishing a fantasy novel (but not the prequel and sequel that he also finished!). This is a good talk between two education pros who just want the best for kids.

I recently gave a talk to middle school students and parents to explore relevant youth challenges and offer personal insight, experience and strategies to help deal w/ them. I thought I'd bring these points to The Spaniard Show. I hope they help!
