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...

If 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):

  1. 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.
  2.  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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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:

  1. Please SHARE this episode on Instagram and tag me @ToddDurkin and @hutchfitcoaching— let us know your biggest takeaway.
  2. Go make the world a better place…and keep fighting!

Frequent Questions about my Retreat:

  1. Can you bring a friend, colleague, spouse, or family-member? YES. And we have “specials” if you bring a guest as well (almost 50% OFF their ticket)!!
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

The price goes up $200 on September 15th. And it’s still going to be a low-price. But lock-in now and make it happen.
