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. Therefore, to honor his legacy and life, I am not only resharing one of my favorite conversations with Joe, I share some deep thoughts & lessons in the beginning and end of this episode to make it tremendously personal and special. I’ve known Joe since 1998. He was there...

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....

This week’s episode is a special one. I recorded it just days before opening and it’s been a ton of work to get to the “start line.” Today, I’m taking you behind the scenes—just days before opening IMPACT-X Performance—to share the truth about what it really takes to build something BIG. The setbacks, the delays, the pressure… but also the faith and the fire that keeps you moving forward when things get hard. Because here’s the truth—we’re never promised smooth sailing, but we are promised purpose. And this episode isn’t just about opening a gym....

I’m just days away from opening IMPACT-X Performance, my new life- transformational center (gym + recovery + coaching) here in San Diego and I couldn’t be more excited. It’s been a long process to get to here but we are almost at the “start line” and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. On this week’s episode, I share several things: Why this gym had to be built. The moment the Vision hit and the question I kept asking myself, “What if there was a place, a franchise, built entirely around helping people unlock their highest performance on ALL...

Are you successful on paper but restless underneath? Have you reached midlife (40, 50, or in your 60’s) and your realized something feels slightly “off.” Not broken. Not dramatic. Just…stuck. What if the restlessness you’re feeling right now isn’t a problem… but a signal that your next chapter is calling? This week’s episode of the IMPACT SHOW Podcast is POWERFUL and DEEP. I sit down with a dear friend of mine, Bobby Kelly. I’ve known Bobby for over 20 years, and let me tell you—this guy is one of the most passionate, authentic, and no-nonsense coaches I...

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...
info_outlineWhat a moment. What a week. What a JOURNEY. On this week’s IMPACT SHOW, Todd takes you behind the scenes of the official opening and first week of IMPACT-X Performance in San Diego. This isn’t just about opening a gym…it’s about vision, faith, resilience, and what it truly takes to bring a dream to life. From the highs of Grand Opening day to the quiet reflections of what it took to get here, Todd shares raw insight on gratitude, perseverance, and why this is just the beginning. If you’ve ever had a dream in your heart or felt called to something bigger—this episode is going to hit you deep.
Here’s what you’ll take away from today’s episode:
- The power of reflection and why you must pause to appreciate how far you’ve come
- Why gratitude—for both the struggles and the victories—is the foundation of greatness
- What it really means to bring a vision to life (and the unseen challenges behind it)
- How community, culture, and energy create something far bigger than just a business
- The reminder that nothing great is built alone—and why your people matter most
- Why “this is just the beginning” is the mindset that fuels long-term success
- How to stay present in the process without rushing to the next milestone
- The truth behind building something that becomes “more than a gym”—and how it becomes a movement
At the end of the day, this episode is a reminder that your story matters. Every setback, every delay, every challenge—it’s all preparing you for the moment your doors open or your dream manifests into reality. And when they do… that’s not the finish line, that’s the START LINE. The ‘best is yet to come’ is the mentality, but only if you keep showing up, stay rooted in gratitude, and continue to serve at the highest level. Let this episode fuel your fire, sharpen your perspective, and remind you why you started in the first place.
