We are just weeks away from opening my new IMPACT-X Performance facility in San Diego, CA. And one of the most important things from the start is creating an amazing culture. We did it at Fitness Quest 10. And we’ll do it again. In today’s episode of the IMPACT SHOW podcast, I’m going ALL-IN on why culture is the ultimate performance advantage—and why it will always outperform strategy, systems, or talent alone. This isn’t theory or buzzwords. This is real-time leadership straight from the trenches as we prepare to open IXP-San Diego from the ground...

In today’s episode, I’m coming in hot and pulling back the curtain on one of the most important leadership topics there is: hiring and building the right team. This conversation is happening in real time as I’m in the middle of hiring and building out a world-class team for my new IMPACT- X Performance facility here in San Diego (opening in Feb/March 2026)—and everything I’m sharing today comes straight from nearly three decades of wins, lessons, and a few hard- earned mistakes. This episode isn’t just for gym owners or business leaders—it’s for anyone who wants to be...

LET’S GO!! This week's episode of the IMPACT SHOW Podcast is a powerful reminder that fear may show up many times in one’s life--but faith always gets the final word. Episode 461 features one of the most courageous, faith-filled young leaders I know and I could not be more honored to bring you this conversation with Riley Tejcek. Riley was actually one of my guest speakers at my Annual Mountain Retreat in Whitefish, MT, in November and she blew the doors off the 110- people in the room with a jaw-dropping “Faith over Fear” talk. And today, you are going to get the...

Who’s ready to take a breath, pause, and REFLECT with me during this busy, yet beautiful holiday season? This week’s episode is a POWERFUL and timely one that can absolutely change the trajectory of your next year. Before you sprint into 2026 with new goals, new plans, and big dreams, I want you to PAUSE. Because clarity, confidence, and courage doesn’t just come from looking forward — it comes from looking BACK and extracting the GOLD from 2025 also. And that’s exactly what we are doing today. This episode is all about the transformational power of...

This week’s episode comes to you straight from the breathtaking mountains of Whitefish, Montana, where our recent Annual IMPACT Retreat reached an entirely new level of inspiration, depth, and energy. The room was electric, the ambience was inspiring, and the conversations were powerful. And today, I’ve got something incredibly special for you — a LIVE interview with one of my closest friends and one of the brightest minds in all of professional sports, Chris Young, better known as “CY.” Chris isn’t just the President of the Texas Rangers — he’s a Princeton graduate, a 17- year...

Happy holidays. I’m pumped to share today’s podcast with you during one of the most important, spiritual, and opportunity-rich seasons of the entire year. This is the season where reflection meets revelation. Where gratitude meets growth. And where faith meets fuel. Between Thanksgiving and New Year’s, we are also given a sacred window to reflect, release, and realign with God and our many blessings. Listen, this season can be magical…but it can also be stressful, overwhelming, busy, and even emotionally heavy. And if we’re not intentional, the holidays can drain us instead...

Happy Thanksgiving week and I know this season upon which we enter is a sacred one. While we want to fill our buckets up with gratitude, peace, and joy, it’s easy to be overrun with busy-ness, chaos, angst, stress, and overwhelm. As we head into Thanksgiving week and the holiday season, I wanted to slow things down…take a deep breath… and talk about two of the most powerful forces we have in our lives: Gratitude and Grace. If you want to feel more joy, more peace, more purpose and even more love, gratitude and grace are the gateway. Today, I want to share 7...
info_outlineDing-ding. Let’s get ready to rumble. We are in the octagon today and in the fight of your life. Sometimes life will punch you in the gut. You’ll take hits financially, relationally, in business, or in your health. You might even sometimes feel like you’re getting knocked out.
But here’s my question… Who’s in your corner?
The people you surround yourself with in both the good times and the bad times will make or break you. And today, I’m sharing a message that recently hit me at 1:30 in the morning, and forced me to pop-up, write down my thoughts, and later record a little Spittin’ Fire (hence Ep. 440).
So today, I’m talking about your “cornermen” (or corner-women) in your life — the thoroughbreds who lift you up, sharpen you, and help you to keep swinging…even when you’re down & out. Or give you specific instruction on how to get out of a tough time.
Specifically, I’ll give you 5-moves you can make right now, whether you are winning the
fight…or getting your butt kicked.
Specifically, I’m going to share 5 moves that will help you do the following:
- How to get rid of the stinkin’ thinkin and the scarcity mindset that can rob you when you in the middle of the “fight.”
- How to stay in “DREAM-mode” and allow your dreams to inspire and empower you to keep going. You gotta stay IN the fight.
- How to BE the person you are trying to attract.
- How to best cut the noise and narrow your focus.
- How to keep trusting God when you feel like He has deserted you.
Friends, thank you for being in my corner…I sure am honored to be in yours. We’re in this fight together — and I pray God gives us the strength, perseverance, and wisdom to win today’s battles and tomorrow’s wars. Today’s episode will remind you of what you’re made of, who’s around you and the importance of STAYING IN THE FIGHT!!
