My Next Chapter Starts NOW…[New Series] | Ep. 447
Todd Durkin IMPACT Show
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...

info_outlineBuckle up for one heckuva inspiring episode today as I sit down with my dear friend, legendary trainer, author, and now AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR…Greg Justice. Yep—you read that right. At 63 years young, Greg recently stepped onto the Ninja Warrior stage and showed the world what’s possible when faith, grit, and years of consistent deposits into your health account come together. This isn’t just a story about obstacles, balance logs, or flying through the air—it’s about mindset, purpose, legacy, and what it really means to never stop growing.
In This Episode, We Dive Into:
- Greg’s full American Ninja Warrior experience—from a 4am call-time to national TV stardom.
- How a setback (a brutal ankle injury) turned into a setup for his comeback.
- The Jack LaLanne legacy that drives Greg’s mission. And a surprise visit from Elaine LaLanne on primetime NBC.
- Why mindset beats age every single time.
- Greg’s recovery story and how he reprogrammed his brain (and body) to overcome fear.
- “BEDWAS”: The powerful acronym Greg lives by every morning.
- The difference between retiring and rewiring.
In this Show, Greg also drops powerful truths like:
- “Age isn’t just a number. It’s experience, wisdom, and an invitation to do MORE.”
- “Your bank and health account are like the same thing. The more good things you put into them, the more you can take out of them.”
- “I’m a rookie at 64—and I’m just getting started.”
- “Don’t let someone else define your limits.”
This episode is for you if you’ve ever felt “too old” to start something new, or if you’ve faced a setback that’s begging to be reframed as a setup for something greater. It’s for the person who doesn’t just want to leave a legacy—but wants to live it out loud, every single day. And it’s for anyone who needs a powerful reminder that your health is your greatest form of wealth. Listen in, get fired up, and then go deposit something into YOUR health account today.
