Therefore, I can think of no one better to be on the IMPACT SHOW podcast this week than a man who is creating a whole heck of a ton of IMPACT. His name is Andrew Ruiz and wait until you hear his inspiring story. Andrew Ruiz is someone I’ve known for more than a dozen years. He started with me as a client when he was a college football player. Then he became an intern. A decade later, as a young father & husband, he enrolled in my God-Sized Dreams coaching program. And then he became part of my IMPACT-Coaching program for high-performers. And NOW, he is opening up our first proto-type IMPACT-X Performance brick & mortar franchise in Huntington Beach, CA. Let’s GOO!!! Andrew is one of the sharpest, smartest, and most empathetic leaders I know and he’s doing amazing things both in his career as a leader within radiology at “C.H.O.C.” (Children’s Hospital of Orange County) and now within the fitness space as the proud owner of IMPACT-X Performance Huntington Beach (CA). Here is some of what we talked about on this week’s IMPACT SHOW podcast: You are the proud new owner of IMPACT-X Performance in Huntington Beach, CA. Your Grand Opening is on Nov 7th. You are in the middle of a complete buildout as we speak as MOMENTUM FITNESS transforms to IXP. How are you feeling? What are you MOST EXCITED for with your IMPACT-X Performance business? How did all this come about? There are 4 pillars of IMPACT-X Performance…Fitness, Recovery, Life-coaching, and Faith. What are you MOST excited within these pillars? Which one of these pillars do you believe has the most growth opportunities? If you could look in a crystal ball or prognosticate the future, what is your vision of the future for your IXP? Where will you be in 5-10 years? Can you talk about the resources, mentorship, and guidance you’ve received throughout this journey of opening up an IMPACT-X Performance? You are leading the charge at IXP with long-time colleague and fitness industry standout Amanda Mittleman. Talk about that… As a leader (both at CHOC & IXP), what are Andrew Ruiz’s TOP 5 LEADERSHIP Principles? If someone was considering taking their current gym and partnering with us to become an IMPACT-X Performance, why would they WANT to or NOT WANT to do this… You are busy as heck. Lots going on these days. What are 3-5 of your TOP HABITS as a busy professional that’s keeping you sane. WHY are YOU doing all this? BE THE LIGHT. What does “BE THE LIGHT” mean to you and why are you so excited for IXP and our mission to BE THE LIGHT and create more IMPACT in communities across America?

Meet Fitness Inventor, Coach, & Renaissance Man Pete Holman | Ep. 380 Pete Holman is one of the most innovative, illustrious, and impactful coaches of our generation. He’s a Renaissance man when it comes to training as he combines an extremely scientific approach, with an almost Eastern Zen mix of movement, along with a mindset of a stone-cold warrior.

He has invented over a dozen products (TRX Rip Trainer, Glute Drive, and Glute Slide to name just a few), he has trained the highest level athletes in the world, he has been a national-champion (Taekwondo Do), and he’s a great father to boot. His body of work as a world-class coach, inventor, author, and speaker spans over 2-decadees and he has helped tens of thousands of people, whether pro-athletes, adolescent athletes, or fitness business owners looking to improve their entrepreneurial impact. I’m really excited for you to meet him as he’s a great friend and someone filled with great energy, passion, authenticity, and desire to help improve people’s quality of life. On this week’s IMPACT SHOW, I want to talk about what’s going on in the world of Pete Holman. This includes: What are the 3-5 of the best habits of Pete Holman? You are a father of Brooke Holman, who just left for college. You invested a lot of time into her growth & development. Please share more.

Can we expect to see you on QVC, IG ads, inside of Target on a box, or where are we going to see you? Do you believe you have created your defining product yet? IMPACT is legacy. What’s Pete’s Holman’s legacy going to be? What doyou want them to say about you long after you are gone? What an episode! If you enjoy this episode, please share it.

Former Undercover FBI Agent’s Mission to Stop Terrorism in America | Ep. 378 with Tamer Elnoury 09/16/2024

Former Undercover FBI Agent’s Mission to Stop Terrorism in America | Ep. 378 with Tamer Elnoury This is one of the wildest podcast episodes you will ever hear. Tamer Elnoury is the first Muslim FBI agent to go public about the agency’s undercover war on terror. Tamer spent nearly two decades infiltrating and thwarting the most dangerous Al-Qaeda and ISIS terror cells in the United States and around the world. As a matter of fact, Tamer helped thwart several post “9-11” attempts and literally has some of the most unbelievable stories you will ever hear or could possibly imagine. Just LISTEN in today and be mesmerized by this man’s career and what he has done. WOW! Here are some of the questions that Tamer Elnoury and I discussed on the IMPACT SHOW: One of your undercover techniques is letting the “target” choose you. Why is that so important, and how difficult is it to get the target to “choose” you sometimes? How does a covert counter-terrorism operation come to be and what exactly was your role? How did you get recruited to be part of this task force? What was the hardest part about your job? How important are the teams you work with? What was your method for getting into character when about to go undercover each time? How long did it take him? How long were you undercover for each time you would go over to the Middle East? The story of the “American Sleeper” that you talk about at the end of the “60 Minutes” episode. Do you still think the “American Sleeper” is in the US and do you still wonder if you would have found him if you stayed in the FBI? Did you ever think your cover was blown? Did your family know why you were away when you were undercover? How many alias’ did you actually have undercover? Why did you write the book, American Radical? Visit for more information. 6-pillars from TD that summarize Tamer Elnoury’s career. WOW. You talk about IMPACT and legacy. What a crazy story that has positively impacted (and SAVED!) thousands of lives. And thank God there are people like Tamer Elnoury to take down the “bad guys.” My heart is so full of gratitude for the men & women who are doing things that Tamer did…and we have no idea that it’s even happening! Enjoy this episode as it truly was one of the most eye-opening and unbelievable episodes of all 378-episodes. If you find it as fascinating as me, please give us a 5-star rating & write a review on Apple…and then please share it on your Social Media. You can tag me at: IG: @ToddDurkin #Episode378 #ToddDurkin #IMPACTShow BIO: Tamer Elnoury is a former undercover operative for the FBI who spent nearly two decades infiltrating and thwarting terror cells in the United States and around the world. An Arabic-speaking Muslim-American born in Egypt, and raised in the states, Tamer was recruited into an elite National Security Covert Operations Unit within the U.S. Government. He was trained to become a weapon against terrorism, political corruption and drug trafficking organizations. Elnoury began his career in law enforcement in 1995 after graduating college with a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice. After a brief stint with a fugitive task force, Elnoury began working undercover narcotics. During his twelve years there, Elnoury worked on over 2,500 narcotics investigations in addition to working undercover in several other cases including political corruption, gun trafficking, and child abuse. In 2008, Elnoury began working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and shortly thereafter transferred to an elite, covert unit within the Federal Bureau of Investigation focused on counter terrorism undercover operations. He has worked cases all over the world for multiple government agencies. Later in his career, Elnoury became an executive in law enforcement who oversaw law enforcement and intelligence operations. Elnoury retired from government work in January of 2023 and is currently consulting and doing speaking engagements.

5 Coaching Lessons from a 10-Day Trip | Ep. 376 09/09/2024

5 Coaching Lessons from a 10-Day Trip | Ep. 376 I recently went on an epic 10-Day whirlwind tour on the East Coast that included book signings, keynote talks, speaking at a conference, podcast recordings, group workouts, and even some football games. This included stops in 5 cities (Providence, Horseheads NY, Williamsburg VA, Chantilly VA, and Washington, DC). The great news is that it really was an extraordinary 10- days and I was able to extract out 5 “big” macro lessons and coaching tips that will provide solid value to you personally and professionally. Specifically, here is some of what I talk about on today’s IMPACT SHOW: Power of Community. How 4 gym owners are driving “community” and doing a great job in building an amazing culture. The 3 main points I spoke to the William & Mary Football team about and why it was special to visit my alma mater. Power of Your Network. How Professor Howard Smith had it all right. Don’t be soft. Play to win. Don’t play to NOT lose. How do you actually do this and why I like what Marcus Freeman and Notre Dame did in their season opener against Texas A&M. Why you should NEVER play “prevent defense.” Why “IMPACT University” was so powerful and what we did there with our 7-franchisees to maximize IMPACT. How we will maximize delivering IMPACT with our Faith, Fitness, Recovery, & Life-Coaching pillars inside of IMPACT-X Performance. What does “Rise up to your expectations or sink down to your level of training” really mean? Why the greatest coaches lead with enthusiasm, excitement, and positive energy.

Our links are: IG: @ToddDurkin @athletechnews FB: @ToddDurkinFQ10 ABOUT Eddie Hertzman(Guest): Edward Hertzman is a serial entrepreneur who has launched multiple businesses across several industry verticals including media, fitness, wellness and sourcing. He is also a subject matter expert who has become the voice for the industries he has served. An early-stage investor in promising startups, he has contributed to their growth and value creation. His latest venture, Athletech News, is a response to the fitness industry’s need for community, representation and a seat at the table. Much like sourcing more than a decade ago, fitness and wellness has been a fragmented, under-valued, and under-reported industry, with little transparency into the robust investments occurring in the space, or the dynamic leaders that drive these businesses. Athletech News answers to this need. Prior to Hertzman’s latest venture, following several years on the ground as a supply chain executive, Hertzman founded Sourcing Journal in 2009. Today, Sourcing Journal is the world’s largest trade publication devoted to sourcing and supply chain in the apparel and textiles industry. In 2017, Hertzman sold the company to Penske Media Group. He remained on board as President for 5 years, during which time he was promoted to EVP of all Fairchild Media Titles, tasked with growing their portfolio of publications, while continuing to lead day-to-day operations at Sourcing Journal. In 2023, Hertzman left Penske to launch his next media enterprise, Athletech Media Group. It has quickly become the media of record for the fitness and wellness industry with more than 60,000 subscribers signing on since its debut. Hertzman continues to consult for several retail and supply chain companies and through his company, Hertzman Global Ventures, he has made targeted investments in both PE funds and supply chain tech companies including Active Source Lab. Hertzman is also a sought-after speaker, sharing his expertise at leading industry conferences and events. His innovative leadership has helped shape the way the industry approaches sustainability, commercial compliance, and global sourcing strategies. Hertzman received a degree in economics from NYU and spent more than a decade working in top-level executive positions for major sourcing companies worldwide, including Synergies Worldwide and Pearl Global. He also sits on the Board for Delivering Good, a charitable organization that channels the resources of the fashion industry to those in need.

A Candid Deep Interview on LIFE with Todd [Live from the IMPACT Summit] | Ep. 368 07/22/2024

A Candid Deep Interview on LIFE with Todd [Live from the IMPACT Summit] | Ep. 368 We just wrapped-up our big IMPACT SUMMIT live-event and it was epic. We had 22-presenters and 12-talks. The connection, networking, workouts, socials, and of course presentations were world-class. Kelli Watson, the Director of my Coaching Programs, MC’d the event and she was awesome. One of the things Kelli did was interview me for one of the talks. And dare I say it was one of the most candid, real, and deepest interviews I’ve ever done. Not necessarily because of what I said…but because of what she asked and got out of me. WOW. Today, I share part of that interview with you on the IMPACT SHOW podcast. I think you will hear and experience the heart, soul, emotion, and energy that was in the room. Kelli did a masterful job in this interview and believe you will “feel” it throughout. Here are some of the questions that she asked me… You have accomplished 3 things this year that were on your “BIG 5” at the beginning of 2024, your new TRUE STRENGTH book, the IMPACXT SUMMIT, and your new IMPACT X Performance fitness & coaching franchise. How are you feeling? What can you tell the audience how to get to the “Next level” based on your experience? You have an unbelievable ability to make whoever you are talking to feel like you are talking directly to them. I often think of your family and how you show up and do that for them. How do you do that? Tell me how you get up every day with the positive energy you do… Anything you can add to help people with their time-management and dealing with being overwhelmed. If you could take a minute and look back on your whole life, is there anything you would do different or change? Your theme for the year “Be Iconic” and your theme for the IMPACT SUMMIT is “Be Iconic.” What are you doing to move forward to “Be Iconic” and how are you getting there? What else would you like to offer to our audience that I have not yet asked? WOW. Once you listen, I think you will understand why I feel the way I do about this interview. People were locked-in. The feedback was awesome. There were some tears shed. And people were ready to run through a wall by the end. Thanks for tuning-in.

The Secrets to Writing a Best-Selling Book | Ep. 366 with Clay Manley (Part 4; True Strength Series) 07/08/2024

The Secrets to Writing a Best-Selling Book | Ep. 366 with Clay Manley (Part 4; True Strength Series) We are back with multiple 2x-times best-selling author Clay Manley. Clay is an award-winning copywriter who went from working with some of the biggest brands in the world to now a non-fiction author. His story is incredible. His devotion to his craft is extraordinary. His work is world-class. And today, I want to dive into ALL of that…and then some as we peel back the curtain even more on the habits, routines, and processes of what makes a prolific author like him tick. Here is some of what I ask Clay today on Part 2 of his interview that started on last week’s IMPACT SHOW podcast: You went from working on some of the biggest brands in the world like Marvel and Petco…to now being a nonfiction author. How did you make that transition? Walk us through your creative process. How do you approach co-authoring, or ghostwriting a book? What are your unique rituals or habits you have for writing a book? Talk more about “creative windows.” How do YOU create them or when do you find you are MOST creative? Talk even more about your creative writing process. Give us some of your top secrets… Where did you physically WRITE the majority of our TRUE STRENGTH book? Explain that process… For someone who has a tough time writing or getting “blocks” of time, what are some of your recommendations? I know you have this BHAG goal of writing 10 New York Times Best Selling books. Why 10? How did you come up with this goal? Do you think everyone has ONE BOOK in them? What does your day-to-day routine look like? How often are you reading, or writing? Who are some of your favorite authors? What are some of the unique challenges you face as a co-author, and ghostwriter and how do you overcome them? How do you strike a balance between honoring the author's vision and infusing your own creativity into the work? How do you handle negative reviews or criticism of your work? Who inspires you? What gives you TRUE STRENGTH? What’s next for you?

A Behind-The-Scenes Look at TRUE STRENGTH with Co-Author Clay Manley | Ep. 365 (TRUE STRENGTH Series; Part 3) 07/01/2024

A Behind-The-Scenes Look at TRUE STRENGTH with Co-Author Clay Manley | Ep. 365 (TRUE STRENGTH Series; Part 3) Someone recently asked me how I got TRUE STRENGTH written, published, printed, and out to the public in 6-months from start to finish. The answer is easy. A strong mission & vision, tons of hard work…and a man named Clay Manley. Who is Clay Manley? Good question. Clay Manley is my co-author of TRUE STRENGTH and an absolute God-send. I’ve known and worked with him for a long time but never in this capacity or with this intensity. From the start of the creation of the TRUE STRENGTH in mid-December 2023, to writing it in Q1 & Q2 of 2024, to launching it on June 18th, 2024…it has been one heckuva process and story. Clay, as a professional copywriter/book-author was FULL-TIME on this project and we spent a TON of time an energy on it. As a matter of fact, that’s what today’s episode is all about. I want to share the “behind-the-scenes” process of writing the book and go deep on what it REALLY took to get the book out…and how and why it got done so quickly. I also want to reveal more about my co-author Clay Manley and why he was the right guy for this project. Without further ado, let’s dive into today’s episode with Clay Manley. Here is some of what I asked Clay on today’s IMPACT SHOW: Give us a bit about your background, how we got initially got connected, and how this whole TRUE STRENGTH book project started… If someone asked YOU to define “True Strength” and share what the book TRUE STRENGTH is about, how would you define it? How possibly did this book go from NOTHING to Best-Seller (literally) in 6-months. Take us through that process… What was the most challenging part of writing TRUE STRENGTH? What was the most enjoyable part of writing TRUE STRENGTH? What was the hardest part of writing TRUE STRENGTH? What was your favorite part of writing TRUE STRENGTH? Give us some even deeper insight into the process of writing TRUE STRENGTH… What’s your prediction of what happens to this book? What do you think it’s going to do? Anything else you would like to share… Fascinating insights and process when you hear the “behind-the-scenes,” right? I’m excited for TRUE STRENGTH to be out into the public. I’m excited a portion of the book sales will go back to fight mental health disease and suicide prevention. And I’m excited and grateful for Clay Manley. This book could NOT have gotten done in 6-months without him. And it wouldn’t be as “good” if I didn’t have his touch & professionalism on many levels, regardless of when it came out. If you enjoy today’s SHOW, can you please do us a favor? Please SHARE this episode with your friends, family, and community and don’t forget to SHARE it on your IG, FB, or social media.

Melanie Durkin on the Hotseat | Ep. 364 [TRUE STRENGTH Series; Part 2] And so it continues. Last week, Melanie interviewed Todd on TRUE STRENGTH. And it went DEEP. And we had a record number of feedback and comments on the book and the podcast episode. Thank you. This week, Melanie is back in the podcast house but we are reversing roles. Todd is asking Melanie the tough questions in regards to the book and the toughest 3.5 years of Todd’s life.

We hope you are ready for this one because it’s about to get even deeper… Without further ado, let’s dive into today’s IMPACT SHOW podcast. Here is some of what Todd asked Melanie: Well, we got through 3.5 years of hell. Can you please summarize ALL of it in a nutshell? How did all this impact you, good and bad? Do you think this made our relationship better or worse and what was the toughest time for you through all of it? For you personally, how would you describe “True Strength” and can you share a time of your life (other than the last 3.5 years) that epitomized “True Strength” for you? A big part of the book’s proceeds go to Suicide Prevention and Mental Health. Why are you so passionate about that? Let’s talk about the book TRUE STRENGTH. You played a major part of the book as well as the 3.5 year era that if covers. What is your favorite part of the book, TRUE STRENGTH? What was the hardest part for you to see and experience during this 3.5 year period? Sleep apnea. Back pain. 2-surgeries. Potential CTE. Selling the business. You never wavered in your belief and support in me. WHY? What was the hardest part of ALL of this for you? Our relationship. How do you think this impacted our relationship, good or bad? Faith. What role did it play? What are you most excited for in the future? Is it true that you are writing “TRUE STRENGTH” (Part 2) this Fall 2024? The Durkin IMPACT Foundation. A portion of the proceeds of the book are going back to the Foundation to raise money for Suicide Prevention and Mental Health. Talk about your future with the Foundation and your vision of how your future looks in terms of the Durkin IMPACT Foundation. What a great episode.

TRUE STRENGTH: Melanie Durkin asks Todd the Tough Questions | Ep. 363 (Part 1) 06/17/2024

TRUE STRENGTH: Melanie Durkin asks Todd the Tough Questions | Ep. 363 (Part 1) Buckle-up boys & girls…it’s about to get real. My TRUE STRENGTH book comes out this week (Tuesday) and today we have my lovely bride Melanie in the house to discuss a ton of “behind-the-scenes” content with you on the book. It’s always special to have her in the “podcast house.” On today’s episode, she interviews me on some of the toughest of times and we discuss my answers. Get ready to dive in… Of course we are going to talk about what’s inside the book and what transpired during the toughest 3.5 year stretch of my life. TRUE STRENGTH is a book that is designed to help you thrive in the face of any adversity (burnout, transition, crisis, change, soul searching, a split, an injury, a diagnosis, a fork in the road, a rut--you name it). In the book, I share my deep personal journey of transformation and resilience over the past 3.5 years (2020-2023) during the pandemic while simultaneously overcoming excruciating physical back pain, mental anguish and depression, in hopes of serving as a beacon of hope for anyone navigating life’s darkest valleys. I also candidly share how I found my purpose in pain, faith in failure, and ultimately - growth, all while facing these gut-wrenching challenges. Today, I get to talk about some of these with the person who was by-my-side the entire time, my wife Melanie. She has seen me at my best. She has now seen me at my worst. Today, she interviews me about TRUE STRENGTH. Without further ado, here is what we talk about and some of the questions Melanie asks Todd on today’s IMPACT SHOW podcast: An epilogue from Melanie. WOW! TRUE STRENGTH. The book comes out June 18th. It’s deep. It’s scary stuff to share. It’s a crazy story. How are you feeling? What is your favorite part of the book TRUE STRENGTH? What are a few takeaways you would like others to get out of the book? The pandemic. Fitness Quest 10 closes down. Death-threats when GET YOUR MIND RIGHT came out. The gym being closed. 2nd knee replacement. Selling a big portion of the business. Then the back. The back. UGHHH. That danged back in 2021 & 2022. WOW. And then all the brain fog. A 3rd knee surgery. And then the sleep apnea diagnosis. ALL of it. ALL of that in 3.5 years. That’s A LOT. How did you get through it? Please share 2 or 3 of your hardest personal struggles and battles during your darkest hours. Tell me the truth. Were you ever scared during this time? When? What were some of your top “negative” emotions? Depression. Do you feel you were ever depressed? What helped you during the dark days to help YOU get through? There were 2 really Low, Low, dark MOMENTS for me in all this. Talk about these…. One was the doctor telling you that you needed a 14-hour back fusion surgery. Talk about that. The other was the moment in Mexico. Talk about that… Dr. Amen. I was convinced we needed to see him. You were jacked-up. You denied a lot of it. I made the call to his offices to get you to see him because YOU would not. Can you please explain WHY we did not go see him… You were diagnosed with Sleep apnea in 2023. Why was that important? Talk about that…. Out of this entire process of 3.5 years… What was the HARDEST or WORST part… What was the BEST part…. What did you learn during this entire 3.5 year period? What lessons did you glean? What role did faith play in ALL of it? What are you MOST EXCITED for these days now that you are through all this… What an episode. I hope you enjoyed this deep conversation with Melanie & Todd.

A Special Trip & Interview with 98-Year Old Elaine LaLanne | Ep. 362 06/10/2024

A Special Trip & Interview with 98-Year Old Elaine LaLanne | Ep. 362 You talk about icons and heroes! I recently had the incredible opportunity to go to Elaine LaLanne’s home (for a 2nd time!) in Central CA. Elaine is the 98-year old wife of the late Jack LaLanne, who serves as the iconic godfather of the fitness craze starting in the 1940’s. Literally. There is a movie coming out on Jack LaLanne’s life in 2025 (played by Mark Wahlberg) and it truly is a treat to have Elaine come back on the IMPACT SHOW for a repeat performance and talk about some of the amazing and heroic things in Jack’s life. You talk about legacy…you must listen to this one… Here is some of what I asked the witty and special Elaine LaLanne on this week’s IMPACT SHOW podcast: How would you summarize Jack in one sentence? (Asked by my son Brady…) If someone does not know who Jack LaLanne is, can you tell us about him and some of his amazing feats? How often did Jack do his deep breathwork? Jack was the king of 1-liners. What is your favorite one-liner from him? How long were you two married and what kept you married for that long? How often did you disagree or argue and how did you overcome any disagreements? What would Jack say to someone trying to get back in shape and how did he encourage them? You are 98 years-old. What the heck keeps you going and what most excites you these days? You talk about how all Jack wanted to do is help people help themselves. How did he best do this. AND THEN SOME. Share with us some other things that we might not know about Jack or you that you think the world deserves to hear. What a special episode as my son Brady, great friend Greg Justice, and I were fortunate enough to be in the presence of fitness royalty. It truly was an honor to spend a couple days at her place and talk all things “Jack LaLanne.” If you enjoy this episode, please share it and tag us at: IG: @ToddDurkin @jackandelaine_lalanne Make history with Elaine LaLanne and help us break a World Record for Jumping “Jacks”: IDEA WORLD & JACK LALANNE JUMPING JACKS Challenge!

359. THE ANNOUNCEMENT. The start of my new IMPACT-X Performance Franchise | Ep 359 [Announcement Series Part 1] 05/20/2024

359. THE ANNOUNCEMENT. The start of my new IMPACT-X Performance Franchise | Ep 359 [Announcement Series Part 1] My friends, it’s a special day. I’ve had it circled on the calendar for several months now. Back in July/August 2023, I had a “Reinvention Series” podcast series where I shared my story of back-pain and many of the trials and challenges I had overall a 3.5 year period. Well, welcome to my new series starting today called “THE ANNOUNCEMENT.” Little did I know that this 3.5 year struggle through the pandemic, surgeries, back-pain, incredible stress, the sale of a portion of my business, and multiple setbacks would lead me to my next step… and it’s a BIG ONE…the start of a new fitness & coaching franchise. Yep. IMPACT-X Performance is a new franchise concept that I just launched that combines Fitness, Recovery, Life-Coaching, and Faith. Read that again. In Part 1 of today’s ANNOUNCEMENT SERIES, here is what I discuss… 3.5 years of adversity, trial, tribulations, and severe challenge have lead to this moment. What is the ANNOUNCEMENT? My mission & vision of IMPACT-X Performance and WHY I’m so fired-up. Fitness. What makes it different? Recovery. Why put a dedicated “Recovery” area in IMPACT-X Performance (IXP) and what specifically is in it? Life-Coaching. We will call it “SUCCESS COACHING.” But in September, I started the TD IMPACT Life-Coaching Certification. I didn’t even know when it started that all this would happen. It really picked-up steam in October 2023. But the life-coaching is something ALL clients/members will have access to. FAITH. Whaaatt? Yep. Why I’m putting faith into one of our 4 core pillars. How am I going to fold-it into the offerings? Do you have to be of “faith” to train there or even have a location? My “cradle-to-grave” concept to help people go from college or certification to IMPACT-MAKER! Final Thoughts. Be a LIGHTHOUSE!! I am so excited. I know that everything happens for a reason. And the pain, challenges, and setbacks that I faced over the a 3.5 year period have all lead to this moment. Buckle-up and today kicks off a several-week series of me going DEEP on all things “WHAT’s NEXT?” Please SHARE your enthusiasm of today’s episode on your Social Media.

My STATE OF THE UNION Address…Politics, People & the Fitness Industry | Ep. 358 05/13/2024

My STATE OF THE UNION Address…Politics, People & the Fitness Industry | Ep. 358 Just one week away from the biggest announcement of my career, I felt compelled to share my “State of the Union” address as it relates to the fitness industry, people, faith, and even politics. Yes, I need to get a few things off my chest today as I’ve been watching our society unfold, stress sky-rocket, and some people become even more crazy. I know not OUR IMPACT-SHOW listeners but if there’s ever a time for us to step-up, it’s NOW. And speaking of the fitness industry, I share my thoughts on where we are at, where it’s going, and why fitness is going to play an even more crucial role than ever before in everyone’s life…and what we need to do about it. Specifically, here is what I share on today’s IMPACT SHOW: WARNING: Listen at your own risk. This will be unlike any episode I’ve shared to date. Politics and country. How do I really feel about both. “10” different ways People are showing up today. The alarming statistics of health & fitness today and what we are to do about it. The state of the fitness industry and 8-trends that we must heed attention to. 6-different “recovery” trends that are ever-popular and will play an important role in our “recovery” as a nation. Why “LIVE EVENTS” are imperative today for all people, how it helps drive community, and why we must get back to showing up LIVE at the gym, at events, and even at work. #BeInTheRoom Am I retiring…or rewiring?? BIGGEST ANNOUNCEMENT in 25-years next week (Monday, May 13th, 2024). #TuneIn Definitely a different flavor today as we prepare for the BIG news next week.

Big Announcement #2… TRUE STRENGTH & 5-Ways to Make BIG things happen in your LIFE! 04/29/2024

Big Announcement #2… TRUE STRENGTH & 5-Ways to Make BIG things happen in your LIFE! My friends, I’ve been sharing for a few months that I had 3 big announcements. Today, I’m ready to make Announcement #2. I also have shared all 3 announcements are mutually exclusive and ALL of them are BIG. My 1st big announcement I made was that I have a huge LIVE Summit in Los Angeles from July 11-14th. I’m requesting your presence there as it’s going to be one of the most powerful LIVE events I’ve ever done…and it’s definitely going to be incredibly inspirational and IMPACTFUL. We have 12-speakers, in addition to me, a ton of features, and many things that will benefit YOU. BE IN THE ROOM!!! But my 2nd announcement is completely different. It’s a really big one as it’s the culmination of 3.5 years of hell…literally, all in one tell-all BOOK. Yep. My 5th book, TRUE STRENGTH will be coming out in June 2024 and I couldn’t be more excited. TRUE STRENGTH is a book, almost a memoir if you will, that I’ve been working on intensely for 6-months now and it is DEEP. Like deeper than anything I’ve ever shared, let alone written. While the book is not slated to officially come out until mid June, I want to do 3 things today: 1. Share a snippet of the book with you. I’m too excited NOT to share! 2. Share my goals of the book with you. They are BIG. 3. Share that we have a book launch team forming right now and I want to invite you to be part of it. I would love for YOU to be part of it (Check out to be part of it now)! Here are the 5-goals of the TRUE STRENGTH book that I discuss in depth on today’s SHOW: Change a lot of lives…including how many I’d like to reach. Sell 10,000 books in 6-months…and how we can achieve that. Raise & Donate $100,000 for Suicide Prevention and Mental Health from book sales…and how the IMPACT Foundation will donate 100% of money raised to this effort. Go on a “big” morning TV talk show like the Today Show, GMA, Kelly & Mark, or a show like that to talk about the book and our philanthropic efforts behind hit. Any/all introductions to contacts are welcome! ☺ Book “10” big podcasts to be a guest on their show to further help get the word out (ie. Ed Mylett, Megyn Kelly, Joe Rogan, etc.). Again, any/all introductions to these people or other big shows are welcome! Thank you in advance. Next, I discuss with you 5-Ways to get serious momentum going and big things done in life (ie. Like writing a book). Here is what I discuss in depth… If you are in a valley right now, keep going and don’t give-up. Quarterback your health. If you have something going on, seek the right health & medical team and spearhead the effort. Do what you do best…and hire the rest. I provide you specific examples of what I have done, and what I’m doing now to get some serious momentum going. RISE TIDES and Level people UP. “The bigger your dream…the more important your team.” I share specifically what I’m doing now to raise people up on my team. To be even “bigger,” you must make BIG moves. The questions that I need to ask you include: What moves are you wanting to make? What do you want to create? What deeply inspires you? WHO is inspiring you to live at a level that is challenging you to live and play at your best? Be real…what’s holding you back? What do you need to do to overcome that? Answer those questions…and make the moves that need to be made.

Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love is in the IMPACT House! | Ep. 355 04/22/2024

Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love is in the IMPACT House! | Ep. 355 Oh Nelly do we have barn-burner today” as the legendary Hall-of-Fame coach & broadcaster Keith Jackson would say. Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is on the IMPACT SHOW podcast this week and it is a classic. Jordan started training with Todd this past January 2024 and he has been grinding for 3+ months now as he prepares for a great upcoming season. On today’s IMPACT SHOW, Todd talks about 3 main things with Jordan: Training, Football, and LIFE. Wait until you hear Jordan’s answers to Todd’s questions. Whether you are a Packer’s fan (or even just a football fan) or not, you will be a Jordan Love fan after this one. Tune in NOW and hear Todd & Jordan discuss the following: What have the last 3-months of training been like? What has the best part of our training…and what has been the worst part? Haha. How do you stay grounded these days? Football: What are some things you learned from sitting behind Aaron Rodgers for 3-years? What is one thing people should know about being an NFL QB, if they’ve never been a quarterback, or even a football player? When did you realize in college that you might be good enough to play in the NFL? Training: Talk about your off-season training this year… what are all the things you do in addition to your strength & conditioning? What do you do from a nutritional standpoint to stay in great shape? How much time do you spend doing “recovery” versus training in-season and off-season? How does sleep fit into the equation? What are some tips you can give to kids and young athletes today who want to be a great athlete or successful in life? LIFE: When someone watches you this football season, what do you want them to know about Jordan Love? Share about your father and how your Dad’s death when you were just 14-years old, affected you as a boy and even now as a man. How do you think his death will impact you as a father and husband someday? What would your Dad say to you now if he was still living? Who was your hero growing up? You are working on creating the “Love Foundation” [501-c-3] to be able to give back to people in need, mental health, and suicide prevention. Please share with where you are at with that and how are wonderful community can help with that. IMPACT. Legacy. What does Jordan Love look when he’s my age. Double your age and add 3-years. Haha. Is there anything I’m NOT asking you that is important other people know about you? My friends, this episode will go down as a classic. Whatever football team you root for this Fall, I hope you root for our very own Jordan Love. He is a great role model, a humble being with a kind heart, and he’s one heckuva hard-worker and fine young man. And the last time a Packers QB was in here doing what he just did, the Packers won a Super Bowl (2011). So keep your eyes peeled and your ears in-tune for what Jordan Love is about to do this coming season…the Packers are well positioned for continued success. And regardless of outcome, this man is going to IMPACT A LOT of people in his lifetime. #StayTuned Please share this episode on your social media and tag Jordan and me.
