A Tribute to My Great Friend Joe Pangelinan: Mindset, Fight, & Legacy | Ep. 475
Todd Durkin IMPACT Show
This week’s episode is a very special one… and an emotional one for me. My great friend Joe Pangelinan, a 2-time guest on the podcast (Ep. 219 & Ep. 352), unfortunately passed away last week (April 14th, 2026) after his valiant fight and courageous battle with Stage-IV lung cancer.

Discouraged or Depressed? Or Encouraged & Inspired? Flip the Switch & Get Your Mind Right | Ep. 474
Todd Durkin IMPACT Show
I had a conversation with Pastor David Jeremiah last week that spurred on this episode of being discouraged or depressed OR encouraged and inspired. “Dr. J” asked if I ever get discouraged or depressed and I thought about it and then answered him. Truth is, even the strongest among us—the leaders, the parents, the entrepreneurs, the coaches—the ones everyone looks at and says, “they’ve got it all together”… they still go through seasons where they feel tired, heavy, or even discouraged. And maybe that’s you right now. You’re showing up....

Redefining Stress & The Stress Recovery Game Plan | Ep. 468 with Derek Clark
Todd Durkin IMPACT Show
Stress. We all feel it in some way…big or small. And it’s not that stress is actually bad. It’s that under-recovered stress is potentially deadly. This week on the IMPACT SHOW, we’re talking about something every single one of us deals with — stress. And not just surface-level stress. I’m talking about the kind that builds quietly over time. The kind that high performers carry. The kind that can cost you your health if you’re not careful. My guest today is Derek Clark — performance coach, speaker, and founder of the Stress Recovery Game Plan. Derek’s...
