Kyle and I really enjoyed your Solosode Episode, after he listened to it he had me listen to it right away. We are 100% on the same page! Looking forward to future episodes and sharing with our reading boys. Take Care!

Both my husband and I enjoy this podcast and get a lot of useful information and book ideas out of it. And super excited for a kids’ podcast as we have two young boys.

Not only is this podcast a great source but Charlie does an amazing job of putting together the resource on his website to help you find the next great book to impact your life!

Dang - where to start?! Every time I listen to Charlie’s podcast I am sure to learn something and be in a better mood when it’s done. He’s a leader, a teacher, a student, and all around good dude who has on some incredible guests. Subscribe and check it out!

This is one of those podcasts that covers a lot of ground. Because Charlie reads and reviews so many books, this is a great place to get ideas... and because there are so many epsiodes you're bound to find stuff that relates to your life. Charlie is a great example of life-long learning and it's inspiring to see how he's spending his time now that he's out of the ring. Great show.

Charlie has lived a really interesting life and brings his perspective into his shows. He is constantly learning new things and growing in different ways and invites the listen to grow along with him!

Really glad I start binging on this podcast. It covers a wide range of topics and offers a lot of great insight. Take the time to dive deep into what Charlie offers.

Charlie is an educator and a martial arts who has proved he values and lives an appreciation of hard work and continuous improvement. As a Spanish teacher, professional fighter, and father he brings a unique lens to personal progress through the books and interviews on his show. I genuinely look forward each day to my 10 minutes of Charlie's clear takeaways from whatever he is currently reading. His words inspire me to think and improve. He and I don't always have the same book choices but he shows me the themes of a book and how they can be applied to everyday life. As a father I also truly appreciate the kids book he finds. I have purchased three children's books I have found out about from the show. I can't recommend this podcast six stars but it deserves it. It is worth a listen if you want to learn, think, or just be infected by positive energy.

Spend 10 minutes a day listening to Charlie and it’ll help you become a better version of you. Only you can put in the work making it happen, but Charlie helps inspire and teach along the way!

Charlie is a true inspiration and excellent human. Subscribe now!!

This is by far my favorite podcast. Charlie brings his experiences, viewpoints, and emotions to the microphone to deliver relevant content nearly every day. Each of the platforms of this show (AMX books, AMX talks, AMX kids) is worth your time if you are working on being the best version of yourself. Following them up with weekly reviews The Spaniard brings it all together for the listener.

I am highly impressed by Charlie and his natural hosting ability. He has a great radio voice and presence and is extremely captivating.

If you want to go into your day energized and ready to take on all the challenges it has to offer, do yourself a favor and invest 8 minutes on your commute to learn something you can apply in your work and home life. Save the $2 for a cup of joe and get a shot of inspiration instead!

Great messages and very inspiring.

Who are you training with? In Combative sports we value our training partners. Charlie pushes the status quo of life long learning to the next level. I am a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu coach who believes there are aspects of Combative Sports that can truly change people’s lives. Charlie has been to the UFC and now sharpens himself with some of the best mentors today. There is gold within these podcasts. So tune in and sharpen yourself with the mind of the “worlds toughest life long learner.” ✋🏼👊🏼

I'm not a huge podcast person, but the Spaniard podcast is can't miss content. Every morning there are lessons from Charlie's studies conveyed to the reader that really help develop your mindset to be a leader in whatever walk of life or career you have chosen. From simple rules and tips to more complex thinking and approaches, this podcast covers it all and will make you a better leader, better team member, and a more critical thinker. Beyond the daily podcasts, his interviews with incredible people from all disciplines with some of the most compelling stories in the world are moving and enlightening. I can definitively say every single day I find myself putting the lessons of this podcast into action - which earns this the five star review in of itself.

Very inspirational and positive podcast. Love the Spanish knowledge and lessons mixed in!

I stumbled across your book on my Kindle app and was intrigued by your story. Started reading and got so pumped by you and your enthusiasm. Then found the podcast! Your passion is contagious and I as a fellow educator (principal) the content and ideas are fantastic! Thanks Charlie for your generous spirit and passionate voice!

Ya seem pretty cool bro. I heard you talking at my school. Thanks for inspiring me :)

I first heard of Spaniard, like many, when he took the co main event slot against Rick Story in the UFC! I was a JiuJitsu practitioner in high school at that time and was motivated by that performance. Since then, I kept up with his career, as he reminded me of the Rocky story that I always aspired to be. Now, as a professional MMA fighter, I listen to AMX daily to stay focused, get my mind set dialed in in the morning, and to constantly stay on a positive track, as it's easy to fall off throughout the week. Whether you are an office worker, an entrepreneur, an aspiring athlete, or from any walk of life, you can benefit from the message that Charlie Brenneman brings with every episode!

I was introduced to Spaniard 101 a few days ago by a friend of mine. The first episode I listened to had so much passion and fire burning in it. This is a must listen to podcast for anyone trying to better themselves. I had the pleasure of talking with Charlie on the phone as I decided to call him since he puts out his phone number during the episode, and I can say that he is a stand up guy too.

If you are looking to increase the value of your life through learning become part of the Spaniard movement! The variety of quality guest interviews are unlike any other. This podcast teaches life optimization through hard work, consistency, vision and resilience. The dedication and discipline Charlie shows is inspirational and keeps the listener pumped up, pushing towards their ultimate goal. No matter what desire and outcome you are striving for the daily lesson is applicable to every person looking to become more and get more out of life. (Highly encourage watching AMX Facebook live for an awesome inside look!).

I was lucky enough to recently interview Charlie for my show. One of the most fun interviews I've done, and he had great advise and insights. He is simply a great guy! I've been diving into his episodes and they have not disappointed. Can't wait to listen to more!

If your reading this hopefully your thinking about listening to this podcast. I highly recommend it! If your trying to get motivated or are already highly motivated it's for you. If your trying to be bold or already consider yourself bold it's for you. It's learning! It's reminders! it's the daily refresher of things you may know, didn't know or maybe aren't at the front of your mind but need to be thought about often to just life your life effectively... and much more. Also the interviews are awesome! Keep it up Spaniard!! -Larry

Great podcast very interesting

I met Charlie at a coaching convention in early October and got a chance to hear him speak and buy his book. He has alot of great stuff to say and he definetly has an awesome story to tell! Charlie's podcasts are a great way to start your day off with some encouragment and motivation. I personally really enjoyed his book "Driven" which tells his story about becoming a UFC fighter and the up's and downs along the way. I am almost 20 y/o and this is the first book that I read cover to cover, it is actually that good. It is not only a great read but it is truly motivational, I plan to start training in the near future. The Spaniard has alot of great stuff to say so if you havent read his book yet or listened to his podcasts then you are missing out big time.

I've been a listener for months now. I try to start every morning with a cup of coffee and the podcast...a great way to start the day and get inspired first thing in the morning. Charlie is down to earth and engages his listeners which makes for a more personal experience. Take some time and listen to one!

Charlie inspires, motivates and educates his listeners first thing in the morning every weekday! Gives me energy to go to work in a positive mindset and tackle the day with enthusiasm! Keep up the great work!

This podcast is a daily listen. Get your daily dose of reality and motivation from a UFC champion. Plus how many podcast hosts have a personal relationship with their listeners? Be Bold! Think differently!

I came across Charlie the Spaniard on another podcast and quickly became a fan of his own podcast, especially the daily AMXcellence motivational talks focused largely on the book's he's reading. HIs humility, drive, and friendliness come through in his podcast. He articulates well the idea of how a fighter's mindset in approachign your daily life. Charlie also does a great job of emphasizing the imortance of developing your mind, body, and even spirit together.

I have never met anyone more dedicated and humble than Charlie . His quest for knowledge is insatiable . His ability to find inspiration and knowledge from people from all walks of life is not only inspirational but genuine . His dedication to his craft whether it be fighting , speaking or inspiring others is in itself inspirational ! Keep your eye on that North Star my friend .....

Charlie may have a fighting background, but he talks about principles that apply to everyone. It doesn't matter what your background is; this podcast provides the inspiration and information needed to put you on the road to success. Keep up the great work, Spaniard!

I have been a regular listener to Spaniard101 for the past several months. I like the short concise AMExcellence talks. There is not an episode that goes by, that I don't take some type of reinforcement or new concept. As a leader myself, I'm constantly looking for ways to improve. What I like most about Charlie's work is that he shows how "everyday people like you and I" accomplish extra-ordinary things. If you desire to improve, then this podcast is for you. Try it, you'll have the tools to become a better "you".

I don't remember exactly where I discovered this podcast, but I'm glad I found it. This podcast is must for anyone looking to reach their full potential. I love the daily AMX posts. They're short and loaded with great information from a book that Charlie is reading. Most importantly, Chalie is authentic. His drive to be better is infectious.

Charlie the Spaniard Brennaman is the Real Deal. He is Humble, Honest and Motivating! He delivers valuable content with every episode of his podcast and believes strongly in consistent quality to deliver results. I would highly recommend Charlie and his podcast to anyone. -Andy Storch Host of The Entrepreneur Hot Seat podcast

This is one of my top favorite podcasts. I love listening and getting fueled up everyday. Charlie is like the big brother I never had. Talked to him a few times on social media but definitely get a lot of valuable information and inspiring insights that I can apply to my everyday life. Thanks man and keep fighting! 👊🏻 R.Greenwood

This podcast is a source of positive information, book reviews, great dialogue, and then some, all of which brings perspective back to your mindset. Charlie's desire spread the mindset he has cultivated through hard work and seeking out great books, as well as others who have accomplished great things in life. If you feel like you are caught up in the tide of your daily routine and need some head clearing positive talk with great new perspectives on being a better person, better worker, better physically, and mentally, listen to this. I have read several books that have changed my perspective at work because of this Podcast, such as Extreme Ownership. Jump in.

I had the pleasure of hosting Charlie on my own podcast and was extremely impressed by his knowledge and advice. He's just a downright awesome dude with an impressive background. Anyone can listen to this podcast, relate to it, and apply the advice to any life situation. Keep it up!

I have found every session of Charlie Brenneman's AMX podcast to be informative, insightful, and highly relevant. And, I would highly recomment this podcast to anyone that is serious about acquiring the requisite knowledge needed to ascend to peak-level performance.

It's well known that Charlie is an outstanding athlete and as such, a listener might expect nothing but sports talk relayed through his podcast.. but this is not at all the case. I've been a long-time listener of Charlie's a.m. excellence podcast and have to say he is filled with well-rounded, motivational advice regarding many aspects of life. Charlie's humble but well researched thoughts are definitely worth listening to.

I would highly recommend this podcast to anyone looking for a quick shot in the arm to get your day started right. Keep up the good fight Charlie, it's always worth it! -Blake, Battle Tested

This podcast was recommended by my coach when I reached out to him about the mental/emotional/spiritual changes that I was experiencing a couple months into training Muay Thai for the first time. A Fighter's Mindset has become a part of my daily routine because Charlie stokes my furnace of internal fortitude that needs tending but isn't always as easily trained as the body. He speaks the language of passion, hunger, and leadership that encourages the listener to move beyond a complacent and passive "living my best life" narrative, to an active inquiry into what living your best life for yourself *and others* could look like if you committed to doing the work. Get on this podcast!

If you're looking to build a routine of self-improvement, look no further. Charlie "the Spaniard" Brenneman has one goal: making his podcast the best 7-8 minutes you spend all day. His daily takes on books are great, short, sweet and to-the-point. He's personable, humble, driven, and dedicated. The best part about his podcast is that he's a real dude. He gets it because he's grinding, struggling and attacking life day after day just like the rest of us. He truly wants to make a difference and see people succeed while chasing their dreams. How many podcasters do you know where the host will actually give you their cell phone number, and respond to you via phone and email? The Spaniard is for real! Get on board!

I've been listening to a Fighter's Mindset for a couple of months now. When I first saw that Charlie put out 7 podcasts a week, I expected I'd quickly get tired of hearing the same content over and over. I was wrong! The AMX episodes are the perfect length and bring fresh content daily. The guest interview episodes are always inspiring and cast new and applicable perspective. Not only has The Spaniard proven his courage and vulnerability with this podcast, but with great purpose and passion he has crafted a blueprint for his listeners to live a life of excellence.

Charlie is a real person and is personable someone who you could call and would actually take the time to listen to you. To steal his quote he doesn't just talk about it he is about it.

Great podcast. Charlie's words and wisdom challenge your mind/body to get improve.

An excellent way to start every morning. Filled with real, genuine bits of advice to help you succeed in whatever you're working toward. Strongly recommend.

Came across Charlie on the Spartan Up podcast. His blue collar background and attitude really speaks to me. His AMX posts are concise short bursts of motivation, knowledge, etc. This is very refreshing in a space that has become overcrowded with many long form shows. His guest list is also an interesting change since it's not just the "hot" person or book of the moment making the rounds. Keep up the great work, will definitely be following!

This podcast is awesome. Spaniard and Dread get into all the other stuff that comes into the equation of being a fighter other than just the training and skills. As a professional athlete, It's something that i often struggle with, and very rarely get good advice in. Usually, I learn by making mistakes, but this podcasts gets into all the thoughts and structures beyond the gym that is all part of the fighting world. Whether you want to fight, or just be a rockstar in life, this podcast will help you be the best version of yourself.
