Todd Durkin IMPACT Show

Are you ready to go deep one more week on the IMPACT SHOW? Are you ready to be inspired to turn your “pain into deeper purpose?” After a record-setting number of listeners on the last 4-episodes, the script gets flipped this week as Julie Wilcox (Director of Todd Durkin Enterprises) takes the reins for the podcast and asks Todd all your questions. Wait until you hear what she asks…and what he shares in this one! Additionally, Todd shares his final reflection and thoughts from the Reinvention Series. #BuckleUp Here are some of the questions you will hear Julie ask Todd in this episode: 1. There was a lot of emotion in Episodes 301-304. How are you feeling after sharing everything you just did? 2. It could have been easy to not share all you just did in this series. What prompted you to share it…especially with you being burnt-out, empty, and broken during this time? 3. Out of ALL the things you have shared since Episode 301… what was your darkest time out of all of them? And what specifically did you do to help pull yourself out of it? 4. Talk more about the Mexico trip. In Episode 303 you shared the story that you almost went to the ER in the middle of the night in MX because of your back pain. What pulled you out of that pain that night? 5. How bad did you get mentally… Did you ever consider seeking help outside of your inner circle? 6. You share many lessons learned throughout the series…what were the top 2-3 lessons that saved YOU during this time? 7. You’re a man of extreme daily habits for your highest performance. Can you share some more of your key habits that helped you get through these tough times? 8. You also created a lot of products & products in the last 3-years. Are there any that stand out to you that you are most proud of…and why did you create them? 9. You share at the beginning of the Reinvention Series about the Rebrand project for Todd Durkin Enterprises and WHY you are so excited. But it also took a ton of time, money, and energy? Can you share any more about that and even any lessons learned… 10. Final thoughts. What are your final thoughts on your heart & mind as we wrap up the final reflection from this Reinvention Series? And what would you like people to do now that they’ve listened to the Series? Thanks for listening in. Please share this episode and share it on your social media.

WOW. The “Reinvention Series” has been one heckuva few episodes and the feedback has been like NONE other. Thank you. Today is my last in-depth episode of the series uncovering what was 3-years of hell. Again, my own reinvention and newly re-inspired TDE brand just launching now would not be as IMPACTFUL if you didn’t know the ENTIRE story. So thank you for listening, sharing, and SHOWING-UP. Let’s dive-in. Here is what you will hear on Ep. 304: - Why I didn’t feel completely fulfilled in 2022 and what to do when your soul is not singing like you want and you know there is an even deeper level of significance you want to create. - Why I took a GM role for a professional indoor football team and the greatest lesson I learned from that debacle. - Another knee surgery to clean-up the mess that was created from partial knee replacement in 2020 that didn’t heal properly because of not rehabbing/moving the way I needed to because of my back injury. - MINDSET through uncertainty and my mindset now after enduring through a 3-year “battle. - Top Lessons learned through a difficult time that will help you in the best of times and the worst of times. - How my faith in God carried me through the last 3-years and despite many times feeling broken, empty, lost, and even sometimes depressed, how I never felt alone. - Why my faith even further deepened in the midst of darkness. - The people and support networks who made a great difference in the last few years that allowed me to get through the mess. - Why COACHING and IMPACT is my life and why I love hearing from our listeners who are wanting to go deeper, do more soul-searching, and who are willing to battle through thick and thin to KEEP GOING! - The ONE THING that I learned from all this and that I will take to the grave someday… Again, thank you. My heart is full of gratitude and I appreciate you listening and sharing. Next week I will do a “Q&A” episode stemming from episodes 301-304.

While last week’s episode was my deepest one up to that date, this one today takes the icing on the cake. In early 2021, I was diagnosed with an extremely serious back condition that was going to lead to a 14-hour back surgery. I was already burnt-out. I was already shot. I had just had my 2nd knee replacement 6-weeks prior. And I was now facing my biggest physical challenge in my 50-years of living. And today, I discuss ALL OF IT and why this episode will go down as my deepest episode in the history of the IMPACT SHOW. And I hope I don’t have one in the future that tops this one. Specifically, in today’s episode, I share: - What happened to my back, the diagnosis, and why my doctor asked me if I had served in Afghanistan. - What happened on Feb 17, 2021, and how my 20th wedding anniversary soon changed from a great day to one of misery. - My trip to Sedona, AZ, and how I couldn’t even walk. - Why I was sleeping only 3-4 hours a night and why I was relying on Tylenol PM to try and sleep more. - My back brace and why I didn’t tell anyone about my back. - My visit to the “Back Deformity Specialist” and how and what he said to me was permanently etched in my head. - My breakdown in March 2021 and what Melanie said to me that I will never forget. - What happened to my back in Cabo, Mexico, and how it almost led to a trip to an Emergency Room in Mexico. - Dropping my son Luke off to college his freshman year but why I was stuck in my hotel room. - Epidurals, painkillers, 6 back-doctors, and a lot of PAIN! - What pain does to your mind, how pain zaps your energy, and why it’s so hard to serve others when you are in chronic serious pain. - My Top Lessons from the “Year of hell” and what I would say if/when you go through a bout of serious pain. - Broken or blessed? How my faith carried me through the desert when I had very little left. - What happened, how I avoided surgery, some of my top hacks to “get out of pain” almost a year later. My friends, this was a very difficult episode to share. It’s one of the darkest periods of my life. While most didn’t know what I was battling, I found solitude and peace in serving & creating as it fed my soul. I think it will make sense when you listen to the story but I’m so grateful and happy today that I got through it. I share it because you can probably relate in some way. Whether you had physical pain or mental anguish, a massive challenge you had to overcome, or perhaps you are there today….or tomorrow, my hope is that you can come back to this episode at any time and realize that “GETTING YOUR MIND RIGHT” is way more than just a saying or mantra. It’s a way of life. Thank you. Thank you for giving me this space & podcast a great place to share. And thank you for listening or watching. And thank you for your feedback. I read every single text, DM, email, or message. Please keep them coming.

I’m about to go as DEEP as I’ve ever gone, publicly or privately. But I consider my podcast family, like family. And I appreciate you listening, caring, sharing, and then going and serving. You ready to dive in with me? Here. We. GO!!! Like many of you, the pandemic nearly broke me. Now listen carefully, it almost BROKE me. While the stuff I’m about to share has been held extremely close to the cuff, God has told me to share it. All of it. Not the good stuff…the UGLY stuff. The tough stuff. The stuff that no one ever gets to know. WHY? Because as I’m being called to serve, save,and inspire more & more people, you need to know that I’ve been THERE. To that place that most people have been, but rarely like to discuss. And think that I’ve never tasted. #False Today, I discuss it. I share it. And I hope that it in some way inspires you to know that you’re not alone. In today’s episode, I share & discuss: - Why I’m nervous as heck to share what I’m about to share…and WHY I’m sharing it. - The TV Show STRONG I did, why I did it, and how it actually instilled a deeper desire to IMPACT even more. - My 2018 knee surgery and why a knee replacement at age 48. - 2019. Bored and Burnt-out of my current day/day but was ready to “go to another level.” - 2020. The pandemic hits and I was ALREADY burnt out going into the pandemic. The confusion, uncertainty, and trying times kept me up day & night as I felt in many ways God was using me to keep other people ALIVE during this time. Internally, I was dying. - My “Get Your Mind Right” book comes out on June 2, 2020, and why that was the “worst” day in the history of the world. - The “Good News Network” and how going live 7-days a week for 91 straight days kept me alive during one of the toughest stretches of my life, despite having days literally 2-minutes before hitting the button I didn’t know if I could do it. - Politics and how I regret closing my gym down for as long as I did. My gut told me just to stay open and not be carting EVERYTHING outside every day. #TrainWreck - My 2nd knee replacement on Dec 6 th, 2020. What happened, why I did it, and what it did to me. - Bringing Jeff Bristol in with me as a partner at FQ10 so that he could run the shop as my vision to “change the world” got bigger. - …and 6-weeks later, my back went out. Like literally broke. - 5 very important life lessons from a year that was the toughest 9-month stretch of my life…and I didn’t even know it was about to get WORSE. My friends, this was not an easy episode to share or get through. I still to this day shake my head and say, “What the heck happened in 2020?” But upon reflection, I realize that going through all this how much the human mind, body, and soul can literally take before being broken. My hope and intention are that by sharing you don’t wait to the point of being completely broken to do something about it. Sometimes life whoops you…and sometimes you whoop it. That’s all part of what makes it…LIFE. If today you are in a hole, know that you are not alone. I’ve been there. And if today, you are NOT in a hole, enjoy life to the fullest and drink from the cup of gratitude. But if and when you may find yourself down & out, know that I’ve been there and WILL be in the foxhole with you as well. Thanks for listening. And thank you for sharing. I really want this message to get out there. There are a lot of people hurting. But many feel like they are alone. Or don’t want to share what’s happening on the “inside.” My sole purpose in sharing is to save one. I’m not sure who that ONE is today, but we need to proliferate this world with more good news, more motivation, and more inspiration. And sometimes that comes in the form in knowing “Man, I never knew Todd went through that. I gotta dig myself up and KEEP going. Whatever. It. Takes.” Hope it helps and again, thank you for listening and being part of my Tribe. #WeGotThis When you share this episode on your social media, with...

WOAH. You are about to receive the DEEPEST series to date in Todd Durkin IMPACT SHOW podcast history. In the almost 5-years of podcasting and over 300 episodes, these upcoming episodes will be as deep as it gets. WHY? I’m in the midst of a reinvention, rebrand, and re-ignition of inspiration myself. And it’s been a 3+ year project. Literally. While I’m really excited for what’s happening presently, it’s because of some real pain, frustration, overwhelm, and burn-out over the last 3-years that have ultimately created what’s about to hit. It also makes me a bit nervous to share and be so vulnerable and raw, but I’m being called to share the “ugly” with the “good.” You ready? Here is what you will hear in today’s episode: - Why I’m nervous to share what I’m about to share today as well as the next few episodes in this series. - Why I’m sharing some of the “ugly” before I share what I’m ultimately excited to reveal. - Why this episode & series will speak to you if you are currently stuck, frustrated, doing some soul-searching, anxious, sometimes depressed, often overwhelmed, or even burnt-out. - Why this episode will speak to you if you are successful and things are going well but searching for even more meaning, purpose, and IMPACT. - Why I sometimes feel F’d up from the pandemic. - How Rory Vaden’s podcast interview impacted me and kept me up at night. This includes my revelation at 2:36 am, how it provided the clarity on my ‘divine uniqueness’, and how it’s allowing me to go even deeper on my own brand. - The incredible conversation I had with Pastor David Jeremiah and how that led to an invite to one of the most prestigious pulpits in the world. - 3-reasons why you might need to rebrand or reinvent yourself at some point in the near future. - My challenge to you over the next week and what to look forward to in the upcoming weeks in the “Reinvention Series.” Thank you. Thank you for listening or watching. If you can please snap a picture of the episode and share it on your social media and tag me that would be much appreciated.

I love when our podcast listeners send in their questions and ask me some DEEP ones. And that’s exactly what we have here today. I received 5 diverse and power-packed questions that deal with topics such as my favorite college lessons and memories, advice I would give to my 18 year old self, how I define success, my top 5 favorite books, and also how to eradicate pain and depression when facing an injury, surgery, setback, or challenge. Here are the specific questions I answered on today’s episode:: - “I have a throwback question relative to 3 people who influenced me, and I’m sure you from your days at William & Mary. What are the top leadership and/or life lessons that you took from these 3 people …Jimmye Laycock, Fr. Kelly, Ernestine?” (from @stevenbrettwiley). - “If you could give your 18-year old one piece of advice, what would it be?” (from MasonThompson69) - “How would you define success?” (from Luke.Bryan.Z33) - “Your Top 5 favorite books” (from Coopersdadtyler) - “I’m getting ready for spinal fusion of L3-L4-L5. I need some help eradicating pain & depression. It’s been a year long process…need some positive vibes. What should I do? Help…” (from Rjf11450. Dickie “The “Birdman” Frank) LOVE these questions and please keep them coming in as I ready EVERY SINGLE one.

I love getting pumped-up. I love praying. And I love speaking. Today, you get all 3. Literally. It doesn’t matter to me if it’s a keynote, motivational talk, leadership event, or a chapel service… I just love sharing from the heart.

Here is some of what I cover on this episode: - Challenges. While none of us like going through them, they can be of great value if we use them properly. - The 5-Ways to get through the toughest of challenges. - PUMPED-up. Top ways to get your Body, Mind, and Spirit “pumped-up.” - PRAYER. The power of prayer and the power of praying together. - The 2-minute “Prayer challenge.” Step up to it this week! - PREACH. 7-ways to preach without being a “thumper.” - The Life-Transformation Challenge. 10-things to do daily for the next 30-days. - Top Scripture and verses to support getting “PUMPED-UP,” how to “PRAY,” and the importance of your walk & testimony. - A special prayer at the end for anyone who would like to stick around to the very end and pray WITH me. Please share this episode. My prayer is that it helps save at least ONE kid from all the warfare they face today. Heck, ALL of us….not just kids. But I really want the kiddos to get their ears on this one this week. Please share. And if you share on your Social Media, please tag me.

Y’all have been asking for some more spittin’ fires…so here we GOOO!!! I was gifted a very special art-piece/“mosaic” recently that has a ton of my motivational “mantras” on it. The mosaic is from a woman who recently opened her own gym (Tricia Hoyt, Journey 333, Londonderry, NH) and attributed a ton of her vision to some messages she had heard from me. Tricia now has several months under her belt and is already IMPACTING hundreds in her 2,500 square foot sanctuary. On today’s Spittin’ Fire episode, I share some of the sayings on the mosaic and I think you’re going to FEEL my heat in your ears…and it’s going to help you GET YOUR MIND RIGHT. Some of what I “spit fire” about today is… - What are you willing to die for…because that’s when you’re ready to LIVE! - Why WAIT? - What are your God-Sized Dreams…because after all, shouldn’t your dreams be BIGGER than your memories?! - Broken or blessed? #MindsetMatters - Tap into the Whispers. - Slow down to speed-up. - Iron sharpens iron…who sharpens you, who are you sharpening, and who SHOULD you be sharpening. - Go DEEPER than ever before. - No stinkin’ thinkin’ allowed. - Failing to plan…is planning to fail. - Be the most positive person you know.. - GET YOUR MIND RIGHT! - The way you do one thing…is the way you do everything. - What if you haven’t even met YOU yet? Thank you Pastor Steven Furtick. - The best is yet to come! - Live a life worth telling a story about…what’s your story?! - I.M.P.A.C.T.—Live inspired. Master your craft. Play at world-class. Take ACTION. Condition for Greatness. Be TENACIOUS! Man, I was feelin the spirit in this one. I hope you can feel me too.

Big week. Not only is it my birthday week and IHRSA Show in San Diego, I’m wrapping up my “Hero Series” this week as well. Can all my heroes stand-up and make some noise please?! It has been an absolute blast sharing and talking to some extraordinary souls the past few weeks on the podcast. Their stories have epitomized grit, perseverance, resilience, the “never give up” attitude, servant leadership, love, and a whole lot of IMPACT. And hopefully they have inspired you as well! Today, I’m doing 3 things: 1. Sharing why I’m so grateful this week. 2. I’m going to share my TOP TAKEAWAYS from each of the last 4-episodes and give you my insight, thoughts, and mindset on them. 3. Lastly, I ’m then going to share one more everyday hero with you. Yes, I have Captain Brandt Truver at the end of the SHOW to give you an “and then some” episode. Captain Truver is a firefighter who is serving not only the San Diego community, but behind a great movement called “Be a Hero to a Hero.” I LOVE THIS! Specifically, here are some of the things Todd goes deep on today’s IMPACT SHOW: - Ep. 290. Heroes and what the acronym “H.E.R.O.” stands for? - Ep. 291. Jack LaLanne and his famous quote… “I don’t do it for the money. I do it to help more people help themselves.” - Ep. 292. Jordan Reyes and the SOUL of an Everyday Hero. How to shift from the “victim mentality” to the “victor mentality” and how to best anchor yourself in gratitude, purpose, and ACTION. - Ep. 293. Tyler Anstey and the Battle for Mental Health by a Heroic Cop. Todd discusses the vulnerability, authenticity, and “real” fight that Tyler demonstrates on the show and the plea for ALL of us to get behind the crusade to fight mental health and help with suicide prevention by sharing & asking for help when help is needed. - Ep. 294. After Todd breaks down those previous episodes, you will hear from Captain Brandt Truver as he shares his hero, his mission, the best & worst parts of his job, and how YOU can be a Hero to a Hero as well. Ways you can contribute to be “Hero to a Hero.” - Be sure to stick around until the very end of the podcast for a VERY SPECIAL message at the end from someone EXTREMELY special! Hey, it’s time to drop down and give me 52 pushups (or ARM FARM Curls). Not all at once but 52 cumulative reps of your favorite exercise. Take a picture of you doing it, SHARE it on your social media on Tuesday (March 21st!) and be sure to TAG ME… Haha. LFG!!!

My heart is stirring, my soul is yearning to go deeper and deeper. And today’s podcast is as IMPACTFUL as they come. It’s with a police officer who has one heckuva story and he talks open & candidly about his battle with his mental health, brushes with suicidal thoughts, and how he has overcome his demons that sometimes pop-up. He literally has turned his pain into his purpose. This is as REAL a conversation as you will ever hear on this topic. Suicide is running rampant in our culture and I will no longer avoid the topic. As a matter of fact, I will be discussing, sharing, and going on a mission to “Do Something” about it. And it starts TODAY!! I first met Tyler Anstey via email back in 2016 when he shared his story and struggles with mental health and how my first book “The IMPACT Body Plan” helped him through some very dark and tough times. Fast forward to 2018, Tyler shared an update finally being diagnosed with PTSD and getting medical attention. He dusted off the old IMPACT Body Plan and began his 10 week program to help get his mind, body and soul right. Fast forward to today and I am happy to share that Tyler is thriving and able to share his story with us as a struggling police officer, who almost took his own life in his darkest hours. This is a deep and personal one my friends but a real life story of an everyday hero serving his community and helping others deal with the tough times as well. On today’s IMPACT SHOW podcast, here is what Tyler and I discuss: - The letter Tyler wrote me in 2016 during some of his darkest days and why he did NOT commit suicide. - How Tyler went from 18 pills a day to one and his top hacks to combat mental health that are not pharmaceutical. - What Tyler does on his most challenging days to “Get his mind right.” - Life today and back at work as a patrol officer…Tyler is happiest serving the community and helping those who struggle with their own mental health. - Family life now, why his life revolves around his son Cooper, and how happy he is that he’s newly engaged. - Lessons learned, perspective, self care is a full-time job, and on a mission to be the best father & human he can be. - Advice to anyone suffering from mental health issues today, and his “never give up!” mentality. This is an IMPACT SHOW episode if there ever was one as it helps address and tackle a real-world challenge we all face today. I am committed to doing something about it and I hope you are willing to join the crusade for us to combat Mental Health and prevent suicide. Please SHARE this episode as everyone can relate on some level. Additionally, please also post a picture of this MUST-LISTEN to episode on your social media. Please tag Tyler and me at: Instagram: @ToddDurkin @coopersdadtyler ** Lastly, If you know someone struggling mentally or you personally are having a rough patch mentally, or you are suicidal, please reach out for help.

When thinking about the “Hero Series” I asked myself, “Who do I want to be a hero to?” Honestly, the answer is I want to be a hero to each and everyone of you podcast listeners. You see, I met this trainer in Chicago several years ago named Jordan Scott Reyes. At the time, he was going through some intense personal battles and challenges and fighting some demons. After the conference, he wrote me an email and shared his darkest moments and how the words spoken in my workshop helped save & change his life. Amen. Jordan started listening to the podcast (every single one of them) and started to journal every day to help keep his passions & purpose on point. He was able to get rid of the negativity in his life that was holding him back and today he is changing many lives. More importantly, he has rediscovered his joy, happiness, and fulfillment. Jordan Reyes is now a hero to many of his training clients and within his career at H4 Training. He epitomizes what IMPACT is all about! Here are a few of the things Jordan and I discuss on today’s IMPACT SHOW: - Why Jordan wrote and shared with me the email that bore his entire SOUL. - How he shifted from a “victim mentality” to one that is grounded and rooted in GRATITUDE now. - Roses & Thorns. How the ups & downs and “seasons of life” actually allow us to experience more of LIFE. - Jordan shares his favorite IMPACT Podcast episodes of ALL-TIME and WHY. - How journaling & a new “winning routine” shifted his mindset and changed his life. - Why your “Words matter” and how you can drown out the negativity and pessimism and fill your mind up with “Winning Words. Enjoy this episode! Jordan’s story is empowering, uplifting, and inspiring. I believe your SOUL will be touched in it and it will remind you to keep battling, fighting, and going. If you enjoy the episode, please don’t keep it a secret. This episode is not only for fitness fanatics and enthusiasts, it’s for ANYONE who wants and needs to get their MIND RIGHT!

One of the most amazing men to ever roam the planet was Jack LaLanne. He’s considered the “Godfather of Fitness'' and he has some of the craziest, most extraordinary physical feats you will ever hear in your life. From setting a world-record of 1,000 pushups & 1,000 pullups in 1-hour and 22 minutes at the age of 45 to at age 70, towing 70 boats with 70 people for 1.5 miles in the water, while swimming handcuffed and shackled. Yes, read that again. Needless to say, Jack LaLanne was one of the most inspirational men I ever got the chance to meet. He also had a TV show that lasted over 34-years. He had his own string of gyms. And supplement lines. And even his own “Jack LaLanne Juicer.” Well, I recently had the honor to visit his lovely 96-year old bride, Elaine LaLanne, and spend 1.5 days at the LaLanne compound in central California. It was extraordinary. I worked out in his home gym, saw all the iconic awards and original prototypes, and…I got to interview Elaine LaLanne for this week’s Todd Durkin IMPACT SHOW podcast on the legend of her late husband Jack LaLanne. She’s witty, she’s sharp, she’s smart, and her energy is going to dazzle you! This is one for the ages and one of the most special interviews I have EVER done. Let’s go to the home of Elaine LaLanne now and listen to the incredible “LaLa LaLanne” and I talk about so many things including… - Why receiving the “Jack LaLanne Award” in 2017 was so special. - Out of all the impressive physical feats Jack did, which one was most special to her. - Jack LaLanne’s diet and how & why he was so disciplined. - How did the “Jack LaLanne Juicer” deal come about? - The Jack LaLanne TV show was on TV for 34-years. What was the best part of all of it? - Why I loved working out at Jack LaLanne’s gym in Brick, NJ, back in the day and how the “Jack LaLanne’s gym” deal came about. - Jack’s greatest failures and how he dealt with setbacks. - Jack’s philosophy on money and his insane work-ethic. - What is Elaine LaLanne’s legacy and what keeps her going so STRONG at soon to be 97-years young. - Why she wrote the book “Pride & Discipline—the Legacy of Jack LaLanne” (with Greg Justice/Scriptor Publishing) and how this will be part of her legacy. - If Jack were alive today, what advice would he give to America? - Bonus section with Jack LaLanne’s son John LaLanne and how Jack was as a father, how his Dad juggled fatherhood & fitness, and what his Dad thought of John’s “hobbies.” This is one tremendously inspiring podcast episode. It's the story of a true HERO and American fitness icon. It’s also the extraordinary story of a woman who walked hand-in-hand with her husband for 51-years and was a “secret weapon” for all those years. This episode is one to please share with your friends, colleagues, community, and certainly anyone who is either a fitness fanatic or fitness professional. Please tag Elaine LaLanne and me at: Tag us at: Instagram: @ToddDurkin @jackandelaine_LaLanne Some of my favorite quotes from Jack LaLanne: “Everything you do in life, I don’t care, good or bad, don’t blame God, don’t blame the devil, don’t blame me, blame you. You control everything! The thoughts you think, the words you utter, the foods you eat, the exercise you do. Everything is controlled by you!” “The food you eat today is walking and talking tomorrow.” “You’ve got to exercise. Your health account, your bank account, they’re the same thing. The more you put in, the more you can take out.” Here are all my favorite Jack LaLanne quotes: https://todddurkin.com/my-all-time-favorite-quotes-from-the-legendary-jack-lalanne/ Also here are a list of my favorite physical feats Jack completed: https://todddurkin.com/meet-one-of-my-heroes-jack-lalanne-hes-the-godfather-of-fitness/ Elaine LaLanne wrote a book on Jack LaLanne’s Legacy!

If there’s ever a time the world needs more heroes, it’s NOW. And heroes don’t have to be famous, iconic, or even legendary. They can come in everyday walks of life. Today is the first episode of my new “Hero Series” where I will be featuring a few heroes from all walks of life over the next several weeks. While some may be well known or have strong followings, some are everyday people who are making a difference and creating IMPACT in the world today. Today, I’ll kick off the series by discussing: - The definition of a hero. - Some of my past & present heroes…and WHY they are my heroes! - 3-ways we all can be a hero to the people we serve. - Questions and thoughts to challenge you even further to serve the people in your community and life.

I love studying great coaches, both past and present. That being said, I’m also aware of the lack of good coaching at various levels, including for our youth. Man, some of the stories I hear still shock me and it’s no wonder why so many young athletes end up hating their sport, or clubs, or competitive teams…and have just a bad experience. Or the young athlete gets so anxious and stressed from the pressure they feel that it ends up hurting them in multiple ways.. And it doesn’t have to be this way! Today I want to talk to the athletes. And the coaches. And the parents. And I want to bring on one of my most esteemed colleagues when it comes to dealing with youth athletics and coaching. His name is Andrew Simpson and he is creating extraordinary IMPACT in youth athletics. As a matter of fact, his newest book, “ATHLETE! I’m Talking to You” just came out and he’s on a crusade to help kids of all ages have much better physical AND mental experiences playing youth sports. Here are some of the things Andrew and I discuss on today’s IMPACT SHOW: - The 7 Mindset Hacks to dominate sports and life for kids. - Why Andrew’s first book (The Youth Truth) is even more relevant right now. - Why Andrew wrote his new book “ATHLETE! I’m Talking to You” and how thousands of athletes will be helped because of the book. - Why parents MUST read this book…and then pass it or recommend it to their “favorite” coaches. - How adversity can prove to be an advantage for a young athlete and how these lessons transcend into later life. - How to take back control of your life, since so many young athletes often spiral “out of control” and their mental state significantly is diminished. - Practical tips for athletes and how to document your accomplishments, progress, wins, and challenges. - We (Andrew and I) role play and give coaching to the athletes for specific situations. Parents, athletes, and coaches… if there was ever a podcast to share in today's world for the mindset of our youth, it’s THIS one. Help spread the gospel and help make our youth athlete experiences better. Take a picture of this episode and please post on your IG Stories.

Is great customer service a dying thing? Like me, have you had any bad customer experiences lately? I know it doesn’t happen at your work or business, but I bet you have experienced some bad service recently at a restaurant, shop, gym, or retail business in the last month alone. Truth be told, creating extraordinary customer experiences is MORE important than ever these days and I want to dive deep into that today and discuss how we can consistently dazzle and WOW our clients, customers, fans, and tribe/community even more consistently. In today’s episode, I want to share the 7 principles to consistently deliver a “world-class experience” and share a few personal stories from brands like the iconic Ritz-Carlton, Nordstrom, and Disney that I have dealt with and how they have left a lasting impression on me. Additionally, I have my good friend Hank Ebeling on the IMPACT SHOW today. Hank is the king of service, building his career on a passion for customer service and customer experience. Here are some of the things we discuss: - Hank’s Top 4 & my Top 3 Customer Service Principles. - Why I wanted to be the “Ritz-Carlton” of the fitness, gym, and coaching industry. - The Disney story and how I once saw Snow White doing something you wouldn’t believe. - Why I love Nordstrom’s…and what keeps me going back. - Why people’s names are so important and top tips on how to remember them. - How & why it’s important to meet the unexpected and unspoken needs of your customers/clients. - A negative customer experience I encountered recently and my thoughts on why it went bad. - What’s the lifetime value of your customer/clients? - The weatherman test and how it can help you create a world-class customer experience.

This is one of the more epic podcasts in podcast history. It’s with someone I’ve been following since 2006 when his legendary “When you want Success as Bad as you want to Breathe” video went viral…before videos ever went “viral.” Meet Eric Thomas, aka “ET The HIp-Hop Preacher. I met him on a recent flight and we hit it off. You’re going to FEEL the energy in this one that’s going to set your hair on fire. And when I say I’m grateful and honored to have “ET” on the SHOW today, I am beyond blessed to have him share with us today. He went from homeless for 2-years starting at age 17 and dropping out of high-school to eventually graduating college to earning his PhD to becoming one of the most legendary motivational speakers of our generation. This is one for the ages. Here are some of the things Eric and I discuss and some of the wisdom bombs “ET” drops on today’s IMPACT SHOW: - You will be successful when you want success as bad as you want to breathe. - To be able to sacrifice at any moment for what you are for who you can be. - Pain is temporary. It may last an hour, a day, or a year. But it’s temporary. But if you quit however, it will last forever. - Pain can be a blessing and tremendous opportunity for growth. At the end of pain, is success. Let your greatest pain become your greatest asset. - You Owe You…Go write the check and give yourself the life you deserve. - Be the VICTOR instead of the victim, by taking full ownership of your life now. - How do you launch your speaking career and start speaking more? - Eric Thomas’ 5-year plan; this one is going to blow you away. - What does “IMPACT” mean to ET… - Why Eric is so excited for his new book “YOU OWE YOU” and his virtual summit starting Feb 7th!

This one is deep. And it truly comes full circle. It is with a former client whom I’ve trained for years when he was playing college & pro baseball. But in the span of 30 days, Bob Wheatley lost his dream, career, and even girlfriend. As life spiraled downward and he contemplated his true purpose, he went deeper into his faith & values. And now, a few years later, he has not only written a book that will IMPACT a lot of people, but he’s also found his true calling to help other men & women discover their deepest divine purpose. Heck, my hope is that this episode touches your soul and spirit like it did mine and allows you to THINK & GO DEEP...and restore even more peace, joy, & happiness in your soul. It is so great to reconnect with Bob Wheatley on today’s SHOW. Despite a standout career as a pitcher at USC and a pro baseball career in the Toronto Blue Jays and St. Louis Cardinals organization, he has gone from Pro Baseball Player to full IMPACT- Player. Here is what we discuss today… - The journey to pro baseball…and the dangers of dream-chasing. - Baseball, Business, and girl all gone…and all within 30 days. WOW. - How to understand your purpose and reason for existing, regardless of your age. - Why he wrote the book “Our Hearts Desire…How our Stories Reveal the Thing we Want Most”, who it’s for, and why you might want to read it. - What does “Called to ‘Greater’ things” even mean. - The 3 things needed to achieve catharsis. - How God sometimes uses pain to shape us, even though none of us like going through pain. - The battle of flesh and spirit and how to ultimately allow the Spirit to win. ] - Why Bob is passionate about helping young Christians grow closer to God and experience the love and connection they are missing.
