Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

A lot of people know this Mike Tyson quote, but it’s not just a boxing rule. It’s a life rule. 
And trust me - it’s not a question of IF life will punch you, it’s WHEN. 

My guest today can speak to both the physical and metaphorical aspects of this wisdom. 

Charlie Brenneman was a Junior High Spanish teacher before he decided to step out on a whim and audition for a show that trained amatur athletes to compete against professional fighters. And he won. 

Over the next 10 years he earned a spot in the UFC, all the while earning his Masters Degree in Leadership and Management. 

He has since retired from professional fighting and taken his journey from the classroom to the cage and turned it into a presence that includes author, speaker, and podcaster

Nicknamed “The Spaniard” during his time in the UFC, Charlie doesn’t simply occupy multiple roles, he blends them with a passion that we could all learn from. 

Enjoy the show!
