After a string of solid interviews on the podcast, this episode features The Spaniard catching up with Dread, who is embarrassingly full of praise for him and who also wrote this description. He finds The Spaniard consistently engaging, entertaining and instructive in his recordings. The Spaniard notes that he considers himself primarily a student and insists that he is regularly visited with self-doubt. Just thankfully not enough to overcome his belief in himself. The big question is: Where does Tom Freakin' Brady fall in all this? The guys muse on that as well.

In today's AMX, we talk: alignment, trusting your gut and how to get what you really want.

As a tough Philly grade schooler in the 80s, Phil Migliarese was interested in … yoga and jiu jitsu?? Yep. This was on top of the influence of his strict father—a businessman who embodied and insisted on respect for others. Then came a terrible car accident during high school that deepened Phil's desire to make the most of his life. All of this led him to gain a fifth-degree black belt and, along with his brother and fellow grappler Ricardo, open the leading-edge facility Balance Studios. Their trainees have included The Spaniard, who even while a UFC fighter regularly found himself bested by Phil's deceptively skillful students. No wonder Phil's schools have this saying above the entrance: "Leave your shoes and ego by the door."

In today's AMX, we talk: high standards, fear as a motivator and the stories you tell yourself.

Barry Krammes' story as an athlete could have ended when he found he was poor at baseball. Or when he narrowly missed two state finals in javelin. Or when his throwing regressed in college. Instead, a personal tragedy galvanized him to become a two-time All-American and place as high as sixth in international competition. Now he shares his passion as a coach and host of The American Javelin Festival. You'll enjoy this talk about how far you can toss (and ride) a stick.

In today's AMX, we talk: continual improvement, personal meaning and how purpose trumps compensation.
