Hello IMPACT SHOW passengers, this is your captain speaking —Todd Durkin, coming to you LIVE from 35,000 feet altitude somewhere between San Diego and Whitefish, Montana!

This episode is all about MINDSET — how to stay calm in chaos, find clarity in the climb, and keep your faith strong even when life gets turbulent. Because just like flying, life doesn’t always give...

A few years ago I shared my Reinvention Series that was wildly popular (Ep. 301-306). It shared my 3.5 year period of going through a terribly difficult time that included a debilitating back injury, 2nd knee replacement, sleep apnea diagnosis, being burnt-out, and ultimately exiting Fitness Quest 10 from day-to-day operations. What I realize now is that it was all a setup for what is about to be NEXT. I recently made a huge decision that is setting up my next step in business & life. But I had to take the FIRST step before advancing to the NEXT step. After 25-years of being in...

This week’s IMPACT SHOW episode is something special. I’m coming to you LIVE from Christian Unified High School’s Chapel Service where I had the honor of speaking to 800+ middle and high school students. Man, I LOVE firing up the youth and speaking LIFE into the next generation. There’s nothing like the energy of a room full of young champions ready to grow, learn, and chase greatness. Regardless of age though, today’s message will most likely resonate deeply. In this powerful chapel talk, I share a few of my favorite Words That Will Change Your Life—words that...

This week is special. I’ve got my lovely bride, Melanie Durkin, back on the podcast—and for good reason. September is Mental Health Awareness Month, and this conversation hits close to home. Melanie shares her powerful story of losing her 19-year-old brother to suicide back in 1998, how it rocked her world, and the healing journey that followed. Together, we open up about grief, faith, family, and the daily habits that support mental wellness. In this episode, we talk about: Breaking the stigma around mental health. Why losing her brother at a young age was...

I just got back from prison. Yep—you read that right. Melanie and I, alongside legendary author & philanthropist Bob Goff and the Love Does team, spent a full day inside San Quentin State Prison in northern CA. And let me tell you, it was one of the most powerful, life-changing experiences you could only imagine. Today’s episode is raw, real, and fresh—we recorded it just days after getting back. You’ll hear from both me and Melanie as we share what we saw, what we felt, and the incredible lessons we learned from the men inside those walls, many of...
info_outlineHuddle up! It's halftime of 2025—and I’ve got one question for you:
Are you winning the 1st half of 2025…or are you getting your tail-kicked? And are you ready to dominate the 2nd half of 2025? If so, I have a barn-burner for you today. In Episode 432, I’m coming at you full force with a locker room style pep talk that I hope will light a fire in your soul. So whether you’re up big or you’re down 28–3 halfway through your year, we still got one full half (of the year) to play—and let’s not forget, champions are made in the 2nd half.
I’m talking real-deal coaching today:
✅ We’re assessing your first half. Wins, losses, and some lessons & AHAS.
✅ We’re making the necessary adjustments. The best coaches make great adjustments at half-time. This is your opportunity to make those strategic edits so we can dial-in the most important steps that need to be taken.
✅ Time for ACTION. It’s time to take bold, massive ACTION to finish the year on FIRE. I want us to win 2025 and this is a fire and brimstone talk to give you the strategy, confidence, courage and conviction it’s going to take to dominate the 2nd part of 2025.
Additionally, We Dive Into:
- How to evaluate your scoreboard right now—regardless of whether you are you up, down, or tied?
- What it means to revisit your theme and Big 5 goals for 2025
- How to make the strategic halftime adjustments that are necessary (and how & why
to stop doing what’s not working) - Why momentum is EVERYTHING—and how to build it starting TODAY
- 3 actions you MUST take in the next 90 days to set up a 4th quarter win
- A challenge that’ll hit your heart: Do you like the man or woman you’re becoming?
(If not, it’s time to change that—starting now.)
I’m letting you inside my head & heart—including some of my personal wins and losses (yep, even the tough stuff like losing my mom), what’s gone well in 2025 so far, and what I’m doubling down on in the next 6 months. And I’m inviting YOU to do the same.
Listen, the second half is where LEGENDS are made. And I want this to be your most powerful, purpose-driven, IMPACTFUL second half yet. So take a deep breath, enjoy this episode, buckle-up that chin strap… and LET’S GO!!!
