Todd Durkin IMPACT Show
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...

5-Week Spiritual Reset Program (Thanksgiving → New Year’s) | Ep. 455
Todd Durkin IMPACT Show
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...
info_outlineWhat happens when life takes a surprise hard left turn and suddenly you’re staring at a brand-new chapter? Do you crumble… or do you rise up and write the next page with faith, grit, and purpose?
This week, I sit down with my great friend, powerhouse coach, and brother-in-iron, Bennie Wiley. Bennie and I worked together on NBC STRONG several years ago and I recently conducted this podcast interview just weeks after Bennie’s tenure as the Head Football Strength & Conditioning Coach at USC (U. of Southern California) ended.
Bennie’s story is one of perseverance, transition, and staying grounded in faith through the messy middle of change. After decades in strength & conditioning — from the Dallas Cowboys to Oklahoma to USC — Bennie found himself navigating an unexpected career pivot. Instead of letting it break him, he’s leaning into the unknown, rewriting his story, and chasing new passions with fire.
We cover a TON in this heartfelt and inspiring conversation, including:
- The “next” chapter– how to prepare for what’s coming even when you don’t know what it is.
- Handling adversity – who you really are shows up when life gets hard.
- Family first – how Bennie is embracing time with his kids and creating moments he missed before.
- Bodybuilding lessons – what stepping on stage taught him about discipline, nutrition, and respecting ALL areas of fitness.
- Life wisdom – why keeping your circle tight and being fully present “where your feet are” changes everything.
- Writing vs. rewriting – Bennie’s mindset shift that every chapter builds on the last, not erases it.
This episode will fire you up to face your own next “season” with courage, clarity, and conviction. Bennie is raw, real, and full of life wisdom that will help you get your mind right and keep moving forward. Let’s keep inspiring greatness, building purpose, and creating IMPACT together. Let’s go up to IMPACT-X Performance Huntington Beach where we recently had a Retreat and listen to the interview with Coach Wylie NOW…
Tune in, take notes, and remember — you don’t need to rewrite your story. You just need to keep writing it.

1. SHARE this episode on Instagram and tag me @ToddDurkin and Bennie

2. Please LIKE it, REVIEW it, and SEND it to someone who’s ready to step into their
greatness.
