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. *There are more than 2300 episodes of this podcast. Some of the older ones look different and have a different format.

    11 - Outbound Marketing Tools and My Dingy Office

    Update: I share a simple outbound marketing system I'm using to stay top of mind with potential clients, including how I'm incorporating postcards into my outreach.
