Todd Durkin IMPACT Show

I am so fired up to have one of my best friends, Trina Gray, on the show today, who just happens to be one of the most driven & successful entrepreneurs I know. She's also one of the best parents, coaches, and life-transformers I know as well. Trina and I go way back to when she joined my Mastermind in 2007, and she has continued to flourish and serve in so many capacities. We share many commonali...

Anyone going through any adversity these days? Is anyone facing big challenges, decisions, or setbacks with their health, mindset, career, or relationship? Meet Sally Kalksma. She was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in 2008. Her husband passed away 1.5 years later. Left to raise her 3-kids as a single-Mom, she turned to stair-climbing & "Tower Racing" as an outlet to deal with her adversity. Today...

WOW. What a crazy few weeks it has been highlighted by dropping my son off at college last week. Highs. Lows. An emotional roller-coaster to say the least.

M...

I received a great question a few weeks ago from one of our community members who asked, "TD, what leadership lessons would Coach Wolf share with us in a podcast if he were still alive?" Man, I think that's a great question.  So I went out to the lines and answered that question and six others.   Here are the questions for today's show: - What's your go-to workout music these days? - What's the mo...

I'm pumped to share 3 things on my heart today. The first one is about "hopping hurdles." As I get ready to take my oldest son Luke to college this week, I share a lesson about a recent conversation with him about "hopping hurdles" and how to get to the decision-makers in life. Regardless of your age, this is a timeless message that will help one get far in life. Additionally, a shoutout to fellow...

Back in May 2000, just 5-months after opening my first performance studio called Fitness Quest 10, I hired a young strength & conditioning coach named Brett Klika. Brett and I met at the Olympic Training facility in Chula Vista, CA, while I was working with the U.S. Women's Soccer Team. He became my sidekick in the trenches changing lives for close to two decades and I'm so proud of all he has acc...

Today you are meeting a true living legend and his name is Dave Weck. I've known Dave for over 20 years, and he is the founder and creator of the BOSU ball. He is a fitness Icon, and today he shares his soul and how he has been through hell and back with his struggles being bipolar, addictions to alcohol, and then marijuana. This is a deep one, and you will hear it from the mind of an amazing huma...

BIG day today as I'm getting ready to kick off my Max-IMPACT Retreat tomorrow. I'm excited, pumped, and even a bit nervous for the weekend-long festivities. The day I don't get nervous is the day I hang it up. But I'm also really fired-up to see people LIVE and to coach my butt off. We're going deep on dreams. Deep on getting further clarity on one's divine purpose. And I'm particularly pumped to...

Today is a "spittin' fire" from the beaches of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, where I recently took a few days of mellow-yellow time with the family.    With the waves crashing in the background, I share my five lessons from the power & beauty from one of my favorite places--the beach.    There is real power in getting "mellow-yellow" time to recharge, rejuvenate, and recalibrate. This trip definitely di...

One of the questions I get from a lot of the people I coach is, "Should I start a podcast?" While the easy answer is "Yes, of course, you should. The world deserves your voice"… there's more than that.   Every decision is different and there must be a purpose/reason WHY you would start a podcast. There are a lot of factors in why one would WANT to start a podcast or maybe not start a podcast.   In...

One of the most difficult things to do these days focuses on leadership and keeping a "growth mindset." Whether you are a manager, GM, owner, teammate, or colleague at a business, college, university, or company, LEADERSHIP is one of the biggest challenges today for many people. Ultimately the success of an organization, team, or company is the people that drive the mission. And the key is to set...

Now that gyms and businesses are starting to open again let's talk shop today. In today's episode, I'm in the trenches talking about fitness, business, and what it's going to take to get the fitness industry back to where we can IMPACT the world even GREATER than before. I'm talking about a downright revival of fitness!   Specifically, I want to talk about the five things it will take to get the f...

It has been one tough road for the past 15-months. From our shutdown on March 16 th , 2020, to now, there have been many tough and dark times for so many people, myself included.

Today, I want to share 3 of my top points/takeaways from the Retreat and a special bonus for all of you as well...10+ of my favorite quotes that are resonating deeply these days......

Like most everyone else, high school kids have had a tough year this past year. I recently had the opportunity to speak to a group of high school kids up in Washington state and impart some words, wisdom, life, and "impact" into them. As a matter of fact, this talk was kinda like "Get Your Mind Right" meets my "I.M.P.A.C.T." talk.    Regardless of your age, I invite you to listen to today's episod...

We are in hyper-growth mode these days, and I hope you are as well.

Happy Memorial Day! Thank you to all the families of the servicemen & women who paid the ultimate sacrifice (their lives) fighting for our freedom. Today is a tribute episode to the son of a dear friend (Jeaneane Henson), whose son took his own life after serving in the Army.    Folks, mental health is a "real" thing. Depression, PTSD, and suicide are unfortunately at all-time highs in our society...

Man-o-man, do I love LIVE, IN-PERSON retreats! I recently had my first LIVE Mastermind Retreat of 2021, and it was awesome seeing 25 "Fire-Breathing Dragons" in person. The energy in the room was palpable. The retreat reminded me of Proverbs 27:17 "Iron Sharpens Iron"... Who Sharpens You? We cannot have in-person, LIVE events come back quick enough...can I get an AMEN on that?!   In today's episod...

When I was a young boy, I loved the NY Giants. One of their main rivals was the Washington Redskins. When I eventually went to college in VA, most of the football fans were rabid Redskins fans. While I never converted to a 'Skins fan, I did follow them closely and loved their rivalry with "my" team. Especially since legendary Redskins' Coach Joe Gibbs' son J.D. played with me at William & Mary.   ...

I love it when people reach out to me with questions, comments, and shares. In today's Q&A episode, I have several questions that came in from my IG, FB, and emails. Some are light and fun and will put a smile on your face. A couple others are deep & soulful. One is about my favorite quotes that drive me today and keep me focused and on track with my purpose. Hopefully, one of these will resonate...

Back by popular demand, I have my great friend Dr. Heidi Hanna back on the Show. You may remember Heidi from her very popular "Real Talk with Brain Health Expert Heidi Hanna," (Ep. 80; May 2020), where she talks in-depth about stress, mental health and anxiety, and what it takes to get through tough times.    Well, one year later, we revisit what Heidi has been through and she shares her battle wi...
