Episode #272
Reading is a non-negotiable priority: a book per week and a daily target of 50 pages, enabled by cutting social media and TV.
COVID wiped out speaking gigs and spiked stress, but adopting Digital Minimalism reduced social media use and improved mental wellbeing and focus.
Books fuel long-term growth and content creation, informing themes like resilience and leadership drawn from works such as Endurance.
I make the time to read books, period.
If I haven't read 50 pages that day, then I got to get to that 50 page mark.
Digital Minimalism changed my social media life.
Resilience and reading.
One of my favorite people in the world is Charlie “The Spaniard” Brenneman. He’s tough. He’s disciplined. He’s smart. And he happens to be kinda funny. We have a lot of fun in our conversations and I always learn so much so I welcomed him back on the show to talk about how he handles a pandemic, how he finds time to read a book a week, and his new Spaniard School.
Having fought the scariest men on Earth, taught junior and senior high Spanish, won a reality TV show on national television, and read incessantly for many years, UFC veteran, speaker, and author Charlie “The Spaniard” Brenneman calls upon his myriad personal and professional experiences and knowledge to inspire you, challenge you, and make you believe.
He’s been knocked out cold on live television and lived out his own Rocky story in front of a million people. Now, through traditional keynotes and workshops, you can get an inside look at what it takes to compete, and win, at the highest levels.
