The Spaniard Show
As I pursue my main focus—helping students gain life skills—I constantly aim to learn and grow in my own life, and I talk about that process on ”The Spaniard Show.” After years of producing up to six episodes a week, I’ve evolved a flexible routine of publishing highlights from my latest reading, talks with fascinating guests, and solosodes about life and business. Listen and equip yourself with the knowledge and skills to take down and knock out (puns intended) any challenge. Learn to live!
