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.

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...

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...

In this episode, we dive into the truth that your happiness and success are not determined by who's in office.

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...
