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.

An early-stage entrepreneur such as The Spaniard could have no better mentor than Joe De Sena, who has repeatedly ground through bleak years of building businesses. Joe, a veteran adventure racer and founder of the premier series Spartan Race, literally ran the path that The Spaniard follows. They both seek to help people live better by pushing to their limits and beyond. On the line from Tokyo, Joe looks back on growing up both tough and earthy after pinging between hustlers in Queens and hippies in Ithaca. Now he lives on a farm in Vermont with his own answer to the Egyptian pyramids (it's a story you won't believe).

In today's AMX, we talk: forgetting about your vision (huh?!), leading from the inside out and why connecting yourself to something greater than yourself can make all the difference.

The good news is that a recent video by The Spaniard was by far his most-watched ever. The puzzling news is that it came about completely by accident, after he locked himself out of his house and improvised the video as something to do. He and Dread are still trying to draw lessons from this. One is that it wasn't just an accident (correction!), because it had a backdrop of experience and skill-building. This discussions sheds light on how The Spaniard thinks about business versus spreading his message. He also shares why he has to be careful about stretching out on his bathroom floor.
