You’re in for a very special conversation today. I’ve got my man Brett Klika back in the IMPACT house. You may remember him from Episode 327 where he shared his raw, heart-wrenching story of love, loss, and life after the sudden passing of his wife, Lisa. That was nearly three years ago. And today, Brett’s back—and this time, he’s bringing some incredible news, wisdom, and HOPE. Brett has just released his brand-new book Energy 100, and let me tell you—it is powerful. It’s already a bestseller and it’s changing lives left and right. This isn’t just a book;...

What 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,...

Ding-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...

The challenge however is that we live in a world that's saturated with information and chock-full of "influencers" making it nearly impossible to stand out from the crowd. Everyone from students to CEOs are scrambling for likes, views, followers, and the ever-elusive "viral breakthrough." Well, If you’ve ever wondered how to grow your influence, multiply your time, and expand your impact without burning out — you’re going...

I’m coming at you mid-flight after one of the wildest weeks of my speaking career — and today, I’m giving you a look behind the curtain of what the keynote life really looks like. From missed flights and sleeping on airport benches… to one of the greatest honors of my speaking career: speaking to the United States Marine Corps. This episode is raw. Real. And straight from 35,000 feet. It’s a story of extreme lows and unbelievable highs. It’s a reminder that leadership, energy, and purpose aren’t just for the stage — they’re for the trenches. And...

We are flipping the script today. We have my great friend, fellow mindset coach & high performance leader Andrew Simpson back on the podcast. In this conversation, we actually go back and forth on faith, burnout, leadership, mindset, spiritual alignment, and how to build systems that support not just your success… but your soul. If you’re tired of running on fumes, if you’re craving clarity, and if you want to serve your people from a place of overflow — this one is for YOU. Here’s what we’re unpacking in today’s episode: Why ‘peace’ is the real...

info_outlineIf you’ve ever wondered how to fully step into the best version of yourself — before the world even sees it — this episode is for you. One of my mentees, Brady Hutchins flips the script and interviews me on everything from overcoming limiting beliefs, to staying present in every interaction, to finding your God-given purpose. You’ll hear raw, behind- the-scenes, never before told stories from my experiences coaching elite athletes like Drew Brees, LaDainian Tomlinson, and Jordan Love, as well as lessons that apply to anyone — from pro athletes to parents, entrepreneurs, and everyday leaders.
This is a conversation about the stuff you don’t see on TV — the pain, the setbacks, the faith, and the relentless mindset it takes to keep going when the voices in your head say, “I can’t.”
Here are the big questions Coach Hutchins asks me at his recent Retreat held at IMPACT-X Performance (Huntington Beach, CA):
- What are the most common limiting beliefs you’ve seen — even in high performers? We talk about the “I can’t” voice that lives in all of us and how to shut it down.
- How can someone start owning their potential now, even before the evidence shows up?
We dig into the idea of being him (or her) before you’re him (or her) — and what that
looks like in everyday life. - How do you maintain energy and presence whether you’re with NFL MVPs or brand-new clients? I share some of my behind-the-scenes hacks and why every person is important and the power of truly listening.
- Can you share a behind-the-scenes story from your time with a pro athlete? From Drew Brees’ shoulder injury and devastating personal loss… to his Super Bowl win, we talk about the unseen grit and faith it took to get there.
- What’s a more current example of an athlete’s life off the field? The untold story of Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love, his personal tragedy, and his mission to use his platform to help others.
- How do you find mentors at the highest level? This is where I talk about how and why mentors often “appear” as you grow — and why you should seek them in multiple areas of life.
- How do you handle situations where you can’t directly mentor someone who wants it?
I share WHY every company should consider a continuum of coaching — from physical to mindset to leadership to life. - How do you discover your deepest, divine purpose?
We go deep into my own journey — from football dreams, to a career-ending injury, to finding my calling in helping people change their lives.
This episode is going to challenge you to think differently about your identity, your purpose, and your path forward. Whether you’re at the top of your game or just getting started, these principles will help you step more boldly into the person you were created to be.
Friends, if today’s conversation brings you value, here’s what I ask:
- Please SHARE this episode on Instagram and tag me @ToddDurkin and @hutchfitcoaching— let us know your biggest takeaway.
- Go make the world a better place…and keep fighting!

- What if I’m not part of one of your coaching programs? You do NOT need to be.
This retreat is not just for our Mastermind program. We have other exclusive events
just for them. While we will have several members in the room (as both participants and presenters), this is for ANYONE who desires MORE in life. This program is open for anyone follows me on social media, reads my emails, listens to my podcast, desires their next level in life, or needs to step away for one of the most exhilarating and inspirational several days of their life. - Is there any special pricing available? Yes, but only until September 1st. LIVE events are expensive to put on. But we have purposely kept this fee as low as possible to make sure you can attend. Between the world-class resort and venue (you gotta check The Lodge at Whitefish), the world class presenters, and the literal world-class schedule, this is going to be worth 10x the low cost of the event itself.
