Life's a Fight

We talk leadership, mindset and the importance of camaraderie/community.

Also, what exactly is "Competitive Greatness", and why should every one of us strive for it?

DRIVE was already central to the life of The Spaniard, both as a personal quality and the root word of his memoir's title, but he recently gained a fresh appreciation of it. This was after an especially powerful group call with members of the AMX Fight Club. DRIVE is what these Fighters have in common, no matter their point in life—that basic urge to reach a goal. This episode is reflection on the nature of Drive, whether it can be fostered and what shapes its expression, including changes over time. This episode is brought to you by the letters ( ) and ( ).

During this interview, The Spaniard says, "I love the fact that I got to wrestle for you. You're one of a handful of the legendary." He says this of Cary Kolat, who was one of his college coaches shortly after Cary had just wrestled in the Olympics. This was on top of an eye-popping record in Pennsylvania: 137-0 through high school with four state titles and 111-7 in college with two national championships. This talk will give you glimpses of the highest levels of hard work, mental discipline and intense competition, including coming to terms with heartbreaking losses despite unmatched preparation. One highlight: An evening of pushups that you will never forget.
