Todd Boffo welcomes Dr. Joel Glotfelty, an Emergency Medicine physician at Mayo Clinic Mankato, whose path from academic struggle and personal loss to medical success offers a profound lesson in resilience.

Joel shares how failing classes, losing his father at 13, and later sustaining a traumatic brain injury all became turning points that shaped his character, deepened his compassion, and ultimately led him to create Finish the Race (FTR) — a nonprofit dedicated to inspiring hope and reinvesting in local communities.

Together, Todd and Joel discuss:

• The mental and emotional toll of working in the ER — and how doctors sustain empathy amid burnout
• Why mindset is as powerful as medicine in healing and leadership
• The difference between being a victim and being victimized — and how to rise above both
• How faith and perseverance transform setbacks into platforms for purpose

A powerful reminder that your current chapter doesn’t define your story — your persistence does.

Todd Boffo sits down with Eric Freeman, the founder of Freeman Motor Company, a Portland-based luxury car dealership known for excellence in service and a culture rooted in faith.

• The difference between transactional and relational leadership
• Building trust within teams and learning to release control

You were born to create. In this solo episode, Todd Boffo explores the first revelation of God in Scripture—Creator—and what that means for high achievers who want to move beyond success into significance. Drawing from Genesis 1, Todd explains why creativity is part of your spiritual DNA, how your words shape your world, and how leaders bring order from chaos by solving real problems. You’ll learn the “small start” principle for turning ideas into impact, why you must see yourself as sent into every room, and practical ways to build what doesn’t yet exist—in your business, family, and community. If you’re ready to aim your ambition at God’s purpose, this episode will help you create with clarity, courage, and conviction.

In this episode of The Todd Boffo Show, Todd welcomes Ken Diehl—military veteran, accomplished executive, and founder of Diehl Capital.

He brings decades of experience growing sales and profits at Fortune 500 companies such as Kroger, Albertsons, Jewel-Osco, A&P, and Strack & Van Til.

Ken opens up about how the discipline he learned in the Navy shaped his approach to leadership, why faith and the principle of giving were central to his success, and how he transitioned from chasing achievements to building a life centered on people, gratitude, and legacy. Together, Todd and Ken discuss resilience, leadership growth, risk, and what it really means to leave a lasting mark—both in business and at home.
