Projects can benefit greatly from a fluid dynamic such as the guys display in this episode. The Spaniard hits record without even knowing what Dread wants to talk about. It turns out to be the fact that the podcast has come to feature more interviews. This is something of a departure from the original plan for the show, but the stories and lessons were just too good not to provide listeners. Now you'll see why The Spaniard finds himself on the way to being the new James Lipton. Also not to be missed in this talk: The Spaniard's kids' passport pics, a humbling tattoo, and a new piece of Spanguage coined before your ears.

In today's AMX, we talk: Joe Rogan's advice to all of us, how to elevate your toughness and the sick feeling I'd get in my gut on the way to training.

Ariel Helwani personifies A Fighter's Mindset and is huge in the world of MMA—but not for putting on gloves. It's for his use of microphone and keyboard. The Spaniard calls him THE GUY in MMA Reporting, as do his eight straight World MMA Awards as Journalist of the Year. He never aims to be the story, but you'll like hearing it: He grows up in Montreal imitating Marv Albert, shrewdly gains gigs involving the Olympics and HBO, and positions himself to be a leading voice in a sport years before it goes mainstream. Nothing stops him—not a broken ankle, not an unusable studio phone, not dismissal from Fox News, and not the yanking of his press badge by the UFC. So listen in on Fighter interviewing Fighter.

In today's AMX, we talk: fighting fear (Rumble Johnson), running marathons and coming home with your shield.

There are reasons for the phrase "the dead of winter." March is doing its job of coming in like a lion while The Spaniard battles a cold and cough through this recording. The upside of his sick days on the couch include a first-time viewing of "Frozen" and watching state finals matches highlighted by one wrestler's quest to cap a perfect high school record. This leads into "Sick Man's Philosophy" on aiming for flawless consistency even when pushed toward surrender. John Wooden and Steve Gleason enter the conversation as The Spaniard and Dread discuss those times when you just might be forced to (watch for the callback to "Frozen"!) let it go.
