IN THE HUDDLE: Why We Do Hard Things [Ep. 397]
Todd Durkin IMPACT Show
In this special episode, recorded in the beautiful, snowy Whitefish Lake, Montana, I dive into the powerful cycle of life and success. I reflect on the powerful cycle of growth: how good times create weakness, and tough times build strength. Life is about doing hard things and finding fulfillment in the face of challenges. Tune in for a message of resilience, purpose and facing the hard things.

My Last Helmet Note…EVER! [Ep. 396]
Todd Durkin IMPACT Show
I dreaded the day knowing it was coming…and it’s here. Since my son Luke was in the 7th grade and he started playing Pop Warner football, I always put a “helmet note” in his helmet the night before every game. I did the same thing with my son Brady as well, albeit a different message. I do the same thing with what I call “Cleat Notes” for my daughter McKenna’s lacrosse and soccer games now. But this weekend is my last HELMET NOTE. WOW. I’ve never shared a HELMET NOTE publicly…until today. 10+ years of writing notes before ALL their games. Sometimes it’s a few...

Todd Durkin IMPACT Show
In today’s episode, we’re diving into the power of the 5-5-5 breathwork technique: breathing in for 5 seconds, holding for 5, and breathing out for 5.

I’ll guide you through a session so you can feel the effects firsthand, whether you’re starting your day, managing stress, or winding down.Join me as we breathe, hold, and release together—helping you recenter and recharge, one breath at a time.

INTERN Q&A: Starting a Business, Wisdom, & What Pain Teaches Us [Ep. 394]
Todd Durkin IMPACT Show
What a fun episode today as I got the opportunity to sit down and chop it up with 3-young college interns from Fitness Quest 10 and their Director (Ryan Rogers). It was awesome to have an open conversation on all things on their mind and how I can help them on their journey in health, fitness, & coaching. They asked some very thought-provoking questions that lead to deep reflections and deep answers. Here are the questions that the 3 interns (Larry Hando, Max Jackson, and Ian Castillo) asked Ryan Rogers and I on today’s IMPACT SHOW podcast: 1. "What was the moment that you knew you...

It’s a BIG week. There is a presidential election going on, we have the Grand Opening for IMPACT-X Performance in Huntington Beach, CA, and it’s Parents Weekend at Davidson College this weekend as my son Luke has only 2 football games left in his college career. A lot of CHANGE. On all levels. It seems like everyone talks about change but rarely do people embrace change. In today’s episode, I talk about the power of change, its inevitability, the growth it can foster, and how our mindset influences our journey.

Celebrating Momma Durkin: Parenting Life Lessons & a $25,000 Trip | Ep. 390
Todd Durkin IMPACT Show
I’m sitting on the banks of Lake Norman, NC, as I record this and I’m feeling especially sentimental and emotional. There are several reasons why, but none more than the fact that my Mom, “Muffy” Durkin, is aging and she turns 92-years old this week. She’s down in Florida resting-up and I want to celebrate her with all of you in my podcast community. As a matter of fact, I want to dedicate this episode to her today. My family has been spending a lot of time down in FL the last several months as she needs round the clock health care. Well, I’ve shared before that Mom...

ABOUT Eddie Hertzman(Guest):
Edward Hertzman is a serial entrepreneur who has launched multiple businesses across several industry verticals including media, fitness, wellness and sourcing. He is also a subject matter expert who has become the voice for the industries he has served. An early-stage investor in promising startups, he has contributed to their growth and value creation.
His latest venture, Athletech News, is a response to the fitness industry’s need for community, representation and a seat at the table. Much like sourcing more than a decade ago, fitness and wellness has been a fragmented, under-valued, and under-reported industry, with little transparency into the robust investments occurring in the space, or the dynamic leaders that drive these businesses. Athletech News answers to this need.
Prior to Hertzman’s latest venture, following several years on the ground as a supply chain executive, Hertzman founded Sourcing Journal in 2009. Today, Sourcing Journal is the world’s largest trade publication devoted to sourcing and supply chain in the apparel and textiles industry. In 2017, Hertzman sold the company to Penske Media Group. He remained on board as President for 5 years, during which time he was promoted to EVP of all Fairchild Media Titles, tasked with growing their portfolio of publications, while continuing to lead day-to-day operations at Sourcing Journal.
In 2023, Hertzman left Penske to launch his next media enterprise, Athletech Media Group. It has quickly become the media of record for the fitness and wellness industry with more than 60,000 subscribers signing on since its debut. Hertzman continues to consult for several retail and supply chain companies and through his company, Hertzman Global Ventures, he has made targeted investments in both PE funds and supply chain tech companies including Active Source Lab.
Hertzman is also a sought-after speaker, sharing his expertise at leading industry conferences and events. His innovative leadership has helped shape the way the industry approaches sustainability, commercial compliance, and global sourcing strategies.
Hertzman received a degree in economics from NYU and spent more than a decade working in top-level executive positions for major sourcing companies worldwide, including Synergies Worldwide and Pearl Global. He also sits on the Board for Delivering Good, a charitable organization that channels the resources of the fashion industry to those in need.
