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. 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 in the early days, and he even helped name my first gym, Fitness Quest 10. He's been a brother to me in every sense of the word. And while this conversation was originally recorded during the fight of his life, what you're about to hear is so much more than a story about cancer—it's about how to live. Joe was originally diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer on December 31st, 2020. What he thought was walking pneumonia turned into a diagnosis that had already spread throughout his body. It didn't make sense. A healthy, vibrant, fit, non-smoker… and yet, there he was, in the fight of his life. But what will hit you most isn't the diagnosis—it's his mindset. This conversation we had is raw, real, and deeply human. You'll laugh. You might cry. And you will absolutely walk away with a renewed sense of gratitude, perspective, and purpose. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: This episode is more than a conversation—it's a reminder. A reminder to not live in fear. A reminder to double down on gratitude. A reminder to keep fighting, no matter what battle you're in. Joe's life and legacy will continue to impact me—and I know it will impact you too. Please do me a favor…Hug someone tight this week and don't wait to say, "I'm sorry," "I forgive you" or "I love you." And in honor of Joe's legacy, please share this episode with your following or on your social media. Or share it with anyone who is going through a difficult time right now and needs some perspective on life right now.

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. You're producing. You're winning on the outside. But inside? You're fighting for your joy, happiness, peace, fulfillment…heck, maybe even your purpose. If that's you, this episode is for YOU. Because here's the truth I need you to hear loud and clear: you may be in a cave—but you are NOT meant to stay there. Today, we're flipping the switch. We're talking about the difference between discouragement and inspiration—and how to move from one to the other starting right now. What You'll Learn in This Episode: If you're feeling discouraged right now, hear me—this is not the end of your story, it's just a chapter, a season, a test, a proving ground that's preparing you for what's next. The cave is not your destination; it's where clarity returns, where strength gets renewed, and where the whispers you need to hear become loud enough to guide your next step. Your breakdown may become your biggest breakthrough, your pain may become your platform, and your test may become your testimony. So don't stay down—get up, refuel your body and spirit, reconnect with the right people, rewrite the story you're telling yourself, and take that next step forward with courage and faith. Because discouragement may knock on your door, but it does not get to own your house. Now go live inspired, step into your purpose, and as always—train hard, eat right, live inspired, and go create IMPACT. P.S Todd Durkin 3.5 Day Mentorship…SIGN-UP NOW!

Who else is ready to win Q2 of 2026 and catapult your results for the rest of the year? If so, today starts with some reflection, addressing your pressing challenges, obstacles, and issues…and of course setting some significant goals for the next 90-days as well. That's why I kicked this episode off with a challenge—a "WIN 90-Days" Challenge. Listen in and STEP-UP! No fluff…Just truth, clarity, and action. And then… we go deep. I've got a very special guest on the show today—someone who I've had the privilege of working closely with and watching impact lives in a BIG way. Lizzie Merritt is in the TD IMPACT SHOW house. She's a certified life coach, co-director of our Todd Durkin IMPACT Life Coaching Certification Program, and she just dropped her second book, Light: The New Psychology of Weight Loss. Now listen…this conversation is not just about weight loss. This is about behavior. This is about mindset. This is about the patterns that keep showing up in your life—and why. Because here's the truth… most people know what to do. But they're not doing it. And the question is…why? Lizzie breaks it down in a powerful way. What looks like inconsistency… what looks like self- sabotage… what looks like a lack of discipline… is often something much deeper. It's your nervous system. It's your belief patterns. It's the stories you're carrying that are running the show underneath the surface. And we want to change that! This episode is going to open your eyes. It's going to challenge the way you think. And if you're ready for it, it's going to help set you free. What you'll learn in this episode: Here's what I want you to really hear… you're not broken. You're not behind. And you're not lacking what it takes. What you might be experiencing right now—the frustration, the inconsistency, the resistance—it's not a character flaw. It's feedback. It's information. And when you learn how to read that information, when you learn how to work with your mind and your body instead of fighting against it, everything starts to change. This is where growth happens. This is where breakthroughs happen. Not in perfection… but in awareness, ownership, and action. So as you step into this next quarter, I challenge you—do the work. Answer the questions. Get clear on your goals. And most importantly, commit to becoming the person who follows through. If this episode hit you, share it with someone who needs to hear it. Make sure you're subscribed to the Todd Durkin IMPACT SHOW, and keep showing up week after week to get your mind right and your heart strong. Let's make Q2 a winning quarter. Let's build momentum. Let's create impact. If this episode fires you up, make sure to LIKE it, COMMENT your biggest takeaway, and SHARE it on your social media. Tag Todd and Lizzie and let them know what hit you most. And most importantly—send this to someone who needs to hear it today. You never know whose life you could impact with one message.

What 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: 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.

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. It's about stepping into your calling, even when things feel uncertain and far from perfect. You don't need to have all the answers—God already does. You don't need perfect timing—you need faith. And you don't need complete certainty—you need the courage to take the next step anyway. So whether you're building your business, your body, your mindset, or your life, this episode is going to hit you right in the soul and remind you of what you're truly capable of. Let's go. WHAT YOU'LL TAKE AWAY FROM THIS EPISODE: My friends… this episode is more than just a list of lessons—it's a reminder. A reminder that the dream in your heart was placed there for a reason. It's not random and it's not by accident. And the challenges you're facing right now? They're not here to stop you—they're here to prepare you. They're shaping you into the person you need to become to step fully into your calling. So if you've been feeling that pull, that nudge, that voice telling you there's more… it's time to step into it. Stay patient through the delays. Stay faithful when things don't make sense. Stay focused when distractions try to pull you off course. And no matter what you're building—don't quit before the breakthrough. Because on the other side of the storm, on the other side of the uncertainty and the grind, is something greater than you can even imagine. And I truly believe this… the best is yet to come. If this episode fires you up, speaks to your heart, or gives you that extra push that you need today, please take a moment to share it.

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 know. Bobby has spent more than three decades helping people transform their lives—physically and mentally—and now he's on a mission to help people reinvent themselves and step boldly into their next chapter. Bobby just released a powerful new book called "The Next Chapter Starts Now—A Playbook for Reinvention, Renewal, & Real Life Progress" and in this conversation he shares the real framework he's used to help high performers navigate major life transitions. This isn't just another motivational pep talk. It's about building structure, asking the hard questions, and creating the clarity needed to move forward when life feels stuck or misaligned. If you've ever found yourself asking, "Is this it?" or "What's next for me?" or "How do I change direction without blowing up my life?"—this episode is for you. Bobby drops some serious wisdom and practical tools that will help you rethink where you are and start designing where you want to go next. In this episode, we talk about: • Why motivation is a terrible long-term strategy and what actually creates lasting change. • The difference between being successful vs. truly aligned in your life and career. • How to know when you're experiencing burnout… or simply outgrowing your environment. • Why that feeling of restlessness might actually be a signal that growth is calling. • The power of asking the right questions to create clarity and momentum. • Why your environment and the people around you play a huge role in the next level of your life. • Bobby's incredible story about how his coaching style even helped President George W. Bush run one of his fastest treadmill 5Ks. • The importance of structure, discipline, and micro-wins when creating your next chapter. • Real-life stories of people who have made powerful life pivots at 40, 50, 60 and beyond. My friends, here's the truth: your next chapter isn't something that magically appears one day. It's something you decide to step into. If something inside you has been nudging you lately… if you feel that pull that there's more for your life, your purpose, and your impact—this conversation is going to light a fire in you. Take a listen, soak up the wisdom Bobby shares, and start asking yourself the big question: What does my next chapter look like?

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 story will stop you in your tracks. In his 40s, after years of operating at a high level, he was diagnosed with high blood pressure… which led to open-heart surgery… which was followed by a cancer diagnosis. This isn't theory. This is lived experience. And what he discovered is something we ALL need to hear — stress isn't the enemy. Under-recovered stress is. This episode will challenge you, wake you up, and equip you with tools you can use immediately. In this episode, you'll hear and learn: Here's the bottom line: you don't need less ambition. You need better recovery. If you're building something big — a business, a career, a family, a legacy — stress will be part of the equation. The key is learning how to balance it so it builds you instead of breaking you. If this episode hits home, share it with someone who needs it. Post it to your story. Text it to your business partner or spouse. And if you're serious about elevating your health and performance this year, take one action from this episode and implement it TODAY. I hope you enjoyed today's episode. IG: @ToddDurkin @derek.r.clark FB: @ToddDurkinFQ10 #StressRecoveryGamePlan #Ep468 Derek Clark is a stress recovery expert and speaker who helps individuals regain balance, reduce health vulnerabilities, and enhance day-to-day performance. He draws on his own experience navigating two rare health conditions, challenges he attributes in part to the cumulative effects of chronic, unbalanced stress. His story of overcoming adversity led to a complete reevaluation of how we respond to stress and how we recover from it. Derek is a licensed athletic trainer and master sports performance coach with over 25 years of experience working with athletes and high performers. He is the founder of Grizz Athletic Performance and Recovery, a company focused on physical and mental development, injury rehabilitation, and sustainable recovery strategies. He also serves as the Director of Athletic Performance and Wellness at the Greater Pittsburgh Sports Complex, where he applies the same principles of stress recovery, performance enhancement, and holistic well-being with athletes, professionals, and teams. Through his Stress Recovery Game Plan™, a four-step daily framework supported by seven key tactics, Derek empowers individuals to redefine their relationship with stress and build a resilient internal environment—mentally, emotionally, and physically. His approach speaks to the everyday challenges faced by employees and leaders alike, helping them feel, perform, and live better. He believes everyone is an athlete in the game of life—and his mission is to help them recover like one.

Man… I am FIRED UP about this one. This week I'm taking you inside one of my favorite places to speak — chapel at Christian High School. For over a decade now, I've had the honor of pouring into these students twice a year, and every time I step on that stage, I don't take it lightly. When I was praying about the message for the start of 2026, one phrase kept coming to me: BURN THE BOATS! Not half-in. Not one foot on the dock. Not keeping an escape route "just in case." I'm talking ALL-IN!! In this episode, you're going to hear the full chapel message where I challenge these students — and YOU — to stop playing small, no living lukewarm, and stop holding on to the very things that may be keeping you from walking in deep alignment of your divine calling. Whether you're 15 or 55, the principle is the same. God doesn't call part-time followers. He calls the committed. I share the powerful story of Cortés in Year 1519 and what it really means to "Burn the Boats." I talk about adversity, obedience, fear, surrender, and how the devil does his best work right before your biggest breakthrough. And I open up about building the new IMPACT-X Performance mothership — the mess, the chaos, the construction — and how sometimes when you're under construction, it doesn't look pretty… but that doesn't mean God isn't building something great. This message isn't soft. It's not comfortable. It's a wake-up call. And the question echoes throughout the entire talk: "Are you ALL-IN… or are you ALL-OUT?" What You'll Learn in This Episode: At the end of the day, this episode is about surrender. You don't drift into surrender. You choose it. You choose obedience. You choose courage. You choose to burn the boats that are holding you back. Some of you are in the middle of construction right now. It's messy. It's loud. It's uncomfortable. You may be questioning what God is doing. But pressure doesn't destroy you — it prepares you for what's next. The breaking isn't punishment — it's training. And if you'll stay obedient, if you'll stay all in, what's being built will be greater than anything you can see in the middle of the mess. So here's my challenge: Don't wait. Don't delay. Don't keep an escape route. Burn the boats. Go all-in on your faith. Go all-in on your calling. Go all-in on the man or woman God created you to be. And go create IMPACT. I hope you enjoyed today's episode. If it fired you up to create more IMPACT—please do me a favor and do 1 (or all 3) of the following things: 1.

This week is incredibly special. My wife Melanie and I are celebrating 25 years of marriage. WOW! Twenty-five years since February 17, 2001… and 28 years since I first walked into that graduate teaching assistant meeting at San Diego State University and saw the most beautiful blonde woman with the brightest smile in the room. Little did I know…that woman would become my wife. In this episode, we take you live to Whitefish, Montana, from our Annual Retreat, where Kelli Watson interviews Melanie and me on stage about marriage, faith, parenting, business, hard seasons, deep loss, big dreams, and what it really takes to stay committed for the long haul. I'd like to share part of that interview with you as we received great feedback on it. This one is vulnerable. We talk about the wins, some losses, some wounds, and even some of the arguments. Haha. We talk about relationships, growth, the kids, the calling, and how love looks different 25 years later. If you're married, want to be married, leading a family, building a business, or walking through a tough season—this episode is for you. Check it out… What You'll Learn in This Episode: Here are Some of the Interview Questions from Kelli Watson: Todd & Melanie Durkin – 25 Years of Marriage We've done a lot in 25-years. We walked through tragedy. We've built businesses. We've raisedthree incredible kids. We've sold a company. We're launching another. We've grown in faith. We've wrestled through conflict. And we've learned that love deepens when you serve, not when you keep score. I have fallen more in love with Melanie's spirit today than I did even 25 years ago. Her faith. Her discipline. Her heart for serving others through the Durkin Impact Foundation. Her mothering our 3-kids. I'm more convinced than ever that when your marriage is rooted in faith, purpose, love, and understanding, and good communication, it can weather anything. If this episode touched you, challenged you, or encouraged you—please like it, share it, and follow the show. Send it to someone who needs hope in their marriage or encouragement in their family. Let's keep building strong families, strong faith, and strong legacies together. IG: @ToddDurkin FB: @ToddDurkinFQ10 @ImpactXSanDiego **** P.S. #1. TD MASTERMIND – Are You Ready to Level Up?

In this episode of The Todd Durkin IMPACT SHOW Podcast, I open up the floor to YOU. This one is personal. This one is deep. And this one is EXACTLY what many of you need right now. I asked our text community for questions—and wow, you delivered. From marriage, faith, and relationships to business, leadership, mindset, marketing, productivity, and youth sports… we go there. All of it. We cover 10 real and raw questions, then I wrap it all up with a Spitting Fire message on one word that's been my February mantra: FINISH. And yes—we close with a powerful prayer you don't want to skip. What You'll Hear in This Episode: 1. 25 Years of Marriage — What Actually Makes It Work I share real talk on communication, faith, respect, working out together, and why "there are no perfect people." This sets up a deeper conversation coming next week with Melanie. 2. Building Mental Toughness in Athletes (Without Breaking Them) For coaches and parents—how to teach mindset at the high school level and why kids ages 6–7 simply need to play, compete with joy, and fall in love with the game, not the scoreboard. 3. Starting (or Restarting) a Business the RIGHT Way If I had to start over from scratch, here's exactly what I'd do: This is straight from launching IMPACT-X Performance San Diego with zero members to a full community. 4. Dreaming Big When Others Don't "Get It" What to do when your spouse or inner circle questions your dreams—and why that resistance often has nothing to do with you. 5. God-Sized Dreams & What to Do NEXT If you've felt re-ignited to dream again, this is your roadmap: 6. Where to Invest Your Marketing Dollars A high-level breakdown of marketing buckets: 7. Productivity, Focus & Eliminating Noise Why "focus bubbles" are a game changer—and how one 90-minute distraction-free block can radically increase your effectiveness. And after answering these powerful questions, I take a moment to bring it all home with a message that's been burning on my heart this month: FINISH. So many people are great starters, but winners are finishers. Finish the workout. Finish the project. Finish the hard conversation. Finish the calling God placed on your heart. Because momentum, confidence, and breakthroughs are all found on the other side of finishing what you started. I also close this episode with a powerful prayer—for strength, clarity, endurance, and faith—for anyone feeling tired, overwhelmed, or stuck with unfinished business. If this episode hits you where you are right now, don't just listen—take action.

Woah Nelly, hold onto the straps tightly…this episode is going to blow your doors off. Episode 464 of The IMPACT SHOW is a must-listen for any leader, entrepreneur, coach, or high performer who wants to grow, lead better, and create real impact in the world today. Today's guest is one of the most dynamic and transformational speakers I've ever heard…and I've heard a lot. His name is Jeremy Foster. I first heard Jeremy speak live in early 2025. He was amazing. I invited him to speak at my Annual Mountain Retreat (Whitefish, MT) in November and he did it again...he hit a grand-slam. I said it then — and I'll say it again — he's one of the Top 5 speakers in the world. He spoke for over two hours and had the room completely locked in. People were laughing, high-fivin', shouting, crying, and most importantly, doing some serious inner work. In this episode, you're getting a powerful excerpt from that live talk — and I promise it will challenge how you see yourself and how you lead. Jeremy's journey is as compelling as his message. From bull-riding cowboy and political consultant to pastor, leadership coach, to Chief Marketing Officer for John Maxwell's organization to now leading his own company, he brings grit, wisdom, humor, depth, and clarity to everything he does. Today, he works closely with CEOs and leadership teams in his FosCo Leadership Company, helping organizations build alignment, culture, and sustainable growth — all rooted in faith and purpose. In this episode, Jeremy dives into what he calls "The Awareness Advantage" — what the best leaders see that others don't. Most leaders think they're self-aware, but only a small percentage actually are, and that gap is costing teams and organizations more than they realize. This conversation will push you to confront blind spots, examine your patterns, and lead with greater clarity and conviction. Here's what you'll take away in this episode: And why broken patterns and systems, not "bad hires," are often the real issue behind underperformance. This episode will stretch you. It will challenge your thinking. And if you're willing to lean in and do the work, it can absolutely elevate the way you lead and live. I promise you this — if you listen with an open heart and an open mind, something will shift. So do me a favor — don't half-listen to this one. Or listen to it the first time while you are walking, working out and doing what you do. But then come back a 2 nd time (yep!) and listen very closely. Be where your boots are. Take notes. Reflect. Share it with someone on your team or in your life who needs to hear this message. I know this episode is going to leave some serious IMPACT on you!!

We are just weeks away from opening my new IMPACT-X Performance facility in San Diego, CA. And one of the most important things from the start is creating an amazing culture. We did it at Fitness Quest 10. And we'll do it again. In today's episode of the IMPACT SHOW podcast, I'm going ALL-IN on why culture is the ultimate performance advantage—and why it will always outperform strategy, systems, or talent alone. This isn't theory or buzzwords. This is real-time leadership straight from the trenches as we prepare to open IXP-San Diego from the ground up (literally!). I'm sharing exactly what it takes to build a world-class culture from Day One, the mistakes that leaders sometimes make that can quietly destroy an organization, and the non-negotiable standards that high-performing teams must live by every single day to build, grow, and sustain an iconic culture. If you're a leader, coach, gym owner, or business owner who wants stronger teams, deeper loyalty, and an even more long-lasting impact—this episode is for YOU. Here are just a few things you'll learn in Episode 463: Remember my friends, culture is not a mission statement hanging on a wall or a list of values buried on a website. It's not what you say when things are easy or when business is booming. Culture is revealed under pressure. It shows up in how your team treats each other when no one is watching, how they respond when things go wrong, and how your clients and members feel the moment they walk through the door—and the moment they leave. Culture doesn't improve just because time passes or systems change. It improves when leadership improves. You don't get the culture you hope for or wish for—you get the culture you lead, model, and tolerate every single day. So here's the challenge. Don't wait until energy drops, turnover rises, or cracks start to show before you address culture. Start now. Take a hard look at the standards you're enforcing, the behaviors you're allowing, and the energy you're bringing into every room you walk into. Have the conversations you've been avoiding. Reinforce the standards that matter most. And remember—culture starts with you. If this episode spoke to you, share it with your team, talk about it in your next meeting, and commit to building a culture that's intentional, aligned, and world-class. Because when you lead culture the right way, everything else—performance, loyalty, and impact—follows. Please do me a favor and do 1 (or all 3) of the following things: 1.

In today's episode, I'm coming in hot and pulling back the curtain on one of the most important leadership topics there is: hiring and building the right team. This conversation is happening in real time as I'm in the middle of hiring and building out a world-class team for my new IMPACT- X Performance facility here in San Diego (opening in Feb/March 2026)—and everything I'm sharing today comes straight from nearly three decades of wins, lessons, and a few hard- earned mistakes. This episode isn't just for gym owners or business leaders—it's for anyone who wants to be part of a winning culture. We're talking about energy, standards, habits, coachability, and alignment with the mission. Because culture doesn't magically appear. It's built intentionally, person by person, decision by decision. If you're hiring, leading, or looking to elevate yourself or your team to the next level, this episode will challenge you to raise the bar—and protect it. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The 5 GREEN FLAGS I look for when hiring (in any industry): 1. Energy before experience—because energy is contagious. 2. Coachability over credentials. 3. Alignment with the mission and values. 4. Personal discipline and daily habits. 5. A team-first, no-ego mindset. Likewise, I will discuss the 5 "RED FLAGS" that stop a hire cold: 1. Ego over IMPACT. 2. Entitlement before accountability. 3. Negativity, blame, and victim language. 4. Resistance to standards and systems. 5. Misalignment with values and purpose. Additionally, I will discuss: At the end of the day, great workouts, great products, and great ideas aren't enough. People matter most. The energy at the front desk, the standards behind the scenes, and the heart of the team all determine whether you build something average—or something that truly changes lives and is world-class. And if you are like me, you want to be associated with 'WORLD- CLASS.' So here's the challenge: if you're a leader, where have you ignored red flags? And if you're a coach, trainer, or professional, take a hard look in the mirror—would you hire you? Are you consistently bringing energy? Are you coachable? Are you living the discipline you expect from others? Build the team right. Protect the culture. Lead with standards and heart. That's how you create something that lasts—and that's how you go create impact. I hope you enjoyed today's episode. If it fired you up to create more IMPACT—please do me a favor and do 1 (or all 3) of the following things: 1. Please forward this episode to a friend, colleague, or family member whom it might benefit. 2.

LET'S GO!! This week's episode of the IMPACT SHOW Podcast is a powerful reminder that fear may show up many times in one's life--but faith always gets the final word. Episode 461 features one of the most courageous, faith-filled young leaders I know and I could not be more honored to bring you this conversation with Riley Tejcek. Riley was actually one of my guest speakers at my Annual Mountain Retreat in Whitefish, MT, in November and she blew the doors off the 110- people in the room with a jaw-dropping "Faith over Fear" talk. And today, you are going to get the opportunity to tune into part of her keynote. Before we dive in, let me properly introduce Riley Tejcek. Riley is a U.S. Marine Corps Captain, former Division I softball player, Female Fitness Marine of the Year, and a U.S. National Team bobsled athlete who competed at the highest level in the world--often on tracks where one mistake could cost you everything. Riley has served our country with honor, represented Team USA on the global stage, and self-funded her Olympic pursuit through sheer grit, faith, and obedience to God's calling. Riley is also a children's book author, an in-demand speaker, and currently traveling the country recruiting and mentoring young leaders — especially women--to step into service, leadership, and God-sized purpose. And while the accolades are impressive, what makes Riley truly special is her willingness to talk openly about fear, failure, heartbreak, and the deep faith that carried her through it all. This episode is raw. It's real. And it's exactly what so many people (of ALL ages) need right now. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR in this "FAITH OVER FEAR" episode: • Faith Doesn't Eliminate Fear — It Overcomes It: Riley shares why fear is real, unavoidable, and loud — but faith is stronger when you choose to trust God anyway. • Calling Out Fear Breaks Its Power: The fears we hide have the most control. Riley explains why naming fear out loud — to God and to trusted people — is the first step toward freedom. • Failure Is Not Final When Faith Leads From public crashes on national TV to deeply personal setbacks, Riley reveals how faith carried her through moments that could've ended her journey. • Feed Faith Daily What you consume matters. What you focus on grows. Riley challenges us to ask: are you feeding fear… or feeding faith? • Do Hard Things with Faith at the Center Comfort never produces calling. Growth comes when you step into discomfort trusting God to meet you there. • Keep Moving Forward — Even in the Valley Faith sometimes looks like one small step at a time. Riley shares how obedience in the smallest moments leads to breakthrough. • Stop Playing Small — God Didn't Create You That Way You were made on purpose, for a purpose. Faith requires action — and it's time to step up. If you've been battling fear, doubt, uncertainty, or hesitation — this conversation will remind you who you are, whose you are, and what you're called to do. Remember: Faith over fear. Always.

Because clarity, confidence, and courage doesn't just come from looking forward — it comes from looking BACK and extracting the GOLD from 2025 also. And that's exactly what we are doing today. This episode is all about the transformational power of reflection and why it is STEP ONE in creating your BEST YEAR YET. You ready?! WHY REFLECTION MATTERS (5-GAME-CHANGING REASONS): 1. Reflection creates clarity amid the chaos. Life is loud. Fast. Busy. Reflection slows the noise, shifts you from autopilot to intentionality, and gives you crystal-clear focus. Clarity is jet fuel for your goals. 2. Reflection builds confidence by celebrating wins. Most people forget how far they've come. Reflection forces you to capture the GOOD, celebrate the wins, and remember this truth: YOU are capable, resilient, and stronger than you think. 3. Reflection turns challenges into wisdom. Challenges don't break you — they SHAPE you. When you write them down, pain turns into purpose and lessons become leverage for the future. 4. Reflection reduces stress and anxiety. Writing is therapeutic. When thoughts stay in your head, they create pressure. When they hit paper, they create perspective. Lighten the load. Breathe. Release. 5. Reflection realigns you with purpose and values. Reflection reconnects you to what matters most — faith, family, mission, calling. It's a recalibration of your internal GPS. 10 POWERFUL QUESTIONS TO REFLECT ON IN 2025: Take time with these. Don't rush them. Write them out. 1. What were your TOP 5 wins or highlights of 2025? 2. What were your biggest challenges — and what did they teach you? 3. In what ways did you grow the most this year? 4. What did you START in 2025 that you want to AMPLIFY in 2026? 5. What did you tolerate in 2025 that you will NO LONGER tolerate in 2026? 6. What relationships mattered most — and how can you be more intentional with them? 7. What habits FUELED you? What habits DRAINED you? 8. What are you most PROUD of in 2025? 9. Where did you feel the presence of God the most this year? 10. If 2025 were a chapter in the book of your life, what would the TITLE be? These questions are where breakthroughs happen. Not only do I share many of my answers, I ask you to answer them as well. When you start with reflection, your goals become more meaningful, your vision becomes clearer, and your drive becomes PURER. ACTION STEPS: Please Block out 30–60 minutes this week, find a quiet space, grab your journal or Annual Strategic Plan, and start writing. Breathe. Reflect. Don't overthink it. When you take time to pause and look back, you extract the wisdom of 2025 and create a powerful launchpad for what's next.

This week's episode comes to you straight from the breathtaking mountains of Whitefish, Montana, where our recent Annual IMPACT Retreat reached an entirely new level of inspiration, depth, and energy. The room was electric, the ambience was inspiring, and the conversations were powerful. And today, I've got something incredibly special for you — a LIVE interview with one of my closest friends and one of the brightest minds in all of professional sports, Chris Young, better known as "CY." Chris isn't just the President of the Texas Rangers — he's a Princeton graduate, a 17- year professional baseball veteran, a Major League All-Star, and a World Series champion both as a player and as an executive. But beyond the titles, CY is one of the most thoughtful, grounded, humble, and high-performing leaders I know. I trained him for more than a decade through the ups, the downs, the injuries, the comebacks, and the championship moments. We've shared thousands of hours in the gym, countless conversations about mindset, family, excellence, adversity, and purpose… and to bring him to Whitefish this year was truly special. In this candid, emotional, and wisdom-filled conversation, CY opens up about his journey from Princeton to the Big Leagues to leading a world-class MLB organization. He talks about culture, leadership, adversity, mindset, fatherhood, and the exact values that have shaped his life and the Texas Rangers clubhouse. If you're a business owner, parent, athlete, coach, sports fan, or anyone striving to be a better leader, this episode is going to speak directly to your soul. What You'll Learn in This Episode: WOW-o-WOW…Chris Young is the real deal—heart, humility, hunger, discipline, and leadership at the highest level. He's one of the rare ones, and I'm truly blessed to call him a friend. As you listen to this conversation, please take a moment to reflect on your own journey. Where can you elevate your leadership? Where can you strengthen your standards, sharpen your fundamentals, and get your mind right even more? This episode is pure jet fuel for the soul and a powerful reminder of what's possible when you lead with deep passion and purpose. If this episode moved you, inspired you, or fired you up, please share it with a teammate, a colleague, a fellow parent, or anyone who could use a dose of championship-level wisdom today.
