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...

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...

Post-Election Mindset | Ep. 393
Todd Durkin IMPACT Show
In this episode, we dive into the truth that your happiness and success are not determined by who's in office.

Whether your candidate wins or loses, you have the power to shape your mindset and create the life and IMPACT you want. Tune in for insights on how to stay grounded, focused, and empowered, no matter the political climate. At the end of the day, it's all going to be okay.

CHANGE or Die | [Ep. 392]
Todd Durkin IMPACT Show
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. Through a collection of 62 impactful quotes, we reflect on how to embrace...

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...

A Journey from Darkness to Light: 6 Life-Habits to Amplify Your SOUL | Ep. 389 with Janelle Trujillo [Bonus Episode]
Todd Durkin IMPACT Show
In this powerful episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Janelle Trujillo, a dedicated health-habit coach with an inspiring story. Together, we explored the significance of self-reflection, the impact of surrounding ourselves with positive energy continuously, and the essential role healthy habits play in achieving overall well-being. Janelle shared her transformative journey from overcoming personal challenges to becoming a coach who now empowers many others. I invite you to tune in to Episode 389 of the IMPACT SHOW for powerful insights on nurturing your spirit,...
info_outlineI recently went on an epic 10-Day whirlwind tour on the East Coast that included book signings, keynote talks, speaking at a conference, podcast recordings, group workouts, and even some football games. This included stops in 5 cities (Providence, Horseheads NY, Williamsburg VA, Chantilly VA, and Washington, DC). The great news is that it really was an extraordinary 10- days and I was able to extract out 5 “big” macro lessons and coaching tips that will provide solid value to you personally and professionally.
Specifically, here is some of what I talk about on today’s IMPACT SHOW:
-
Power of Community. How 4 gym owners are driving “community” and doing a great job in building an amazing culture.
-
The 3 main points I spoke to the William & Mary Football team about and why it was special to visit my alma mater.
-
Power of Your Network. How Professor Howard Smith had it all right.
-
Don’t be soft. Play to win. Don’t play to NOT lose. How do you actually do this and why I like what Marcus Freeman and Notre Dame did in their season opener against Texas A&M.
-
Why you should NEVER play “prevent defense.”
-
Why “IMPACT University” was so powerful and what we did there with our 7-franchisees to maximize IMPACT.
-
How we will maximize delivering IMPACT with our Faith, Fitness, Recovery, & Life-Coaching pillars inside of IMPACT-X Performance.
-
What does “Rise up to your expectations or sink down to your level of training” really mean?
-
Why the greatest coaches lead with enthusiasm, excitement, and positive energy.
