Tune in for a message of resilience, purpose and facing the hard things.
info_outline 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...

info_outline 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...

info_outline 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...

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...

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 has not thrown out too much sentimental stuff over the years (remember, I’ve also shared that’s where I received this bad “pack-rat gene” from) and I’ve joked that it will someday come in handy. Today is ONE of those days…
Here is what I share in this week’s episode:
-
A birthday letter I wrote to my Mom in 1986 (when I was just 15-years old).
-
4-special traits I want to share about Momma Durkin.
-
Why it’s important to know “You’re Day is Coming.”
-
WOW Book Chapter #10.
-
The best thing Momma Durkin ever did for me and my family.
-
ACTION Steps to take to become an even better parent, coach, mentor, or friend.
-
What are a few of your fondest memories of your Mom…and/or your Dad?
-
What traits do/did they have that you most admire?
-
How do you best exhibit those traits now as a parent (or as a mentor, friend, or colleague)?
-
How can you even better display these traits, characteristics, and commitment?
-
A “fitting” close to the episode from one of my favorite conversations with her a few years back.
It was an emotional episode. Thanks for celebrating Momma Durkin with me and I hope it spurs you into taking action into becoming an even better parent, coach, mentor, or friend.
