    Talks 436 - Dear Wrestlers, Please Don't Change

    Talks 436 - Dear Wrestlers, Please Don't Change

    Watching the post-match interviews at the NCAA wrestling tournament is one of the best teachers there is. What a show of sportsmanship and humility. Lifelong dreams won and lost, and the strength of character to talk about it. This episode is my unsolicited request to wrestlers that they don't change. That even though shock and awe is the way of social media and $$$, there's an alternative that's just as rewarding, albeit perhaps in a different way.

    Talks 434 - Friday BuyDay - Get my NEW BOOK "Go Figure"

    IMPORTANT REQUEST! I just released a new kids life skills book on Amazon called "GO FIGURE," described in this episode. If you like the sound of it, please buy it ON FRIDAY, MARCH 17 (yep, St. Patrick's day) and help spread the word. We're urging that to gang up purchases that will help it become a best seller in its category. Dread came back again to help explain how all of this came together. GO FIGURE is the first in a series of books called DAYS OF SPANIARD that are another tool, alongside the SPANIARD SCHOOL podcast and videos, that help kids through the ups and downs of growing up. These books blend fact and fiction for fun, heartfelt lessons. Heck, I wish I'd had them growing up! Dread and I are excited for readers of all ages to enjoy and learn from them. Thanks for your help.

    Books 1509 - Secrets of Closing the Sale

    Books 1509 - Secrets of Closing the Sale

    Remember when this show was called "A Fighter's Mindset"? That was a long time ago, and in that time, I've learned a lot about a different mindset, "a seller's mindset." Adapting myself to this new reality of mine (selling in order to have a business) has been filled with a lot of No's, embarrassing calls and Zooms and many other stomach-sinking interactions. But, I've gotten better, and this book has helped. Today's book teaches selling as influence, belief, psychology and much more. Whether you're directly in sales or not, it's lessons are applicable to life.

    Talks 432 - Dreadisode - Change Has Come to THE SPANIARD SHOW

    Talks 432 - Dreadisode - Change Has Come to THE SPANIARD SHOW

    This episode published on Thursday as usual, but not at 6 am Eastern, as has been the practice for years. This past Monday broke the pattern too—there was no Books episode at all. This was by choice, tied to changes in The Spaniard, meaning both the man and the business. Spanny and Dread give background and discuss what podcasting has given The Spaniard and will continue to give, but also what it hasn’t delivered. You’ll also hear about Spanny’s other podcast, Spaniard School, and how it relates to the latest realizations and experiments. Keep listening, because episodes will keep coming, just differently. And you’ll want to hear about the next developments as they happen.
