An epic conversation with my friend, Charlie "The Spaniard" Brennaman about how he forged mental toughness to overcome challenges, outwork the competition and make it into UFC, plus what he's doing now and the challenges he faces. There are a ton of great takeaways in this episode, including:
- How mindfulness and meditation can help deal with anger and life
- What mindfulness means to the Spaniard - clearing out your mind
- If you want to be world class, you need to be around world class
- Getting past fears to try new things
- How Charlie resets his mind by working out
- Importance of not accepting average - wanting and doing MORE
- Anybody can work hard, the difference is working hard with a purpose
- Making changes to be more fulfilled with your job and life
- How to elevate your mindset when you are feeling down
- Importance of having the right Growth Mindset to push past challenges to achieve your goals
- Why Charlie is working for Saturday - there is no championship to be won
- Life is about the journey because even when you achieve your goals, you will never have enough
- What if you treat yourself like your favorite team and you root for you!
- Before you try to clean up someone else’s room, clean up your own room
- Total human optimization is the goal - mind and body - and it is all about the journey
- If you keep putting out good content, people will pay attention and reaffirm the goal
- Battling limiting beliefs and the question of “Is it worth it?”
- Great content without marketing can fail
- “The race is not always to the swift, but to those who keep on running” - consistency is key to success
Charlie will not be outworked in whatever he does
