Todd Durkin IMPACT Show

Welcome back to today's podcast which is guaranteed to 'Get Your Mind Right' as we're diving deep into a Q&A episode that covers mental toughness, faith, fitness, purpose, raising strong kids in today's culture, mentorship, fulfillment, and how to stay grounded when life feels heavy…like real heavy.

This episode really is all about getting your mind right. Because the enemy isn't just after your circumstances… he's after your thoughts. Your peace. Your mind. Your focus. Your faith. And in today's world—with stress, distractions, pressure, anxiety, and comparison coming at us from every angle—we've got to protect our mindset more than ever before. I share practical strategies, personal stories, mindset shifts, faith-filled encouragement, and some hard truths about what it really takes to stay strong mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually in this season of life.

If you've been feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed, searching for deeper fulfillment, or simply needing a reset in your spirit and routines… this episode is for YOU.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

• The biggest fitness mistakes people make after age 40
• My favorite hip mobility and flexibility exercises for longevity
• Why success without fulfillment still leaves people empty
• How to reinvent yourself at 40, 50, 60 or beyond
• The importance of mentorship and who's mentoring me right now
• What kids desperately need more of in today's culture
• Why discipline and truth matter more than ever
• The habits that have most propelled me forward in life and business
• How faith directly impacts performance and mental resilience
• Practical ways to stay mentally strong when life gets hard
• Why protecting your peace and guarding your thoughts is essential
• The "10 meters at a time" mindset that Navy SEALs use under pressure
• A sneak peek into a possible future faith-based coaching experience and men's group

My friends, life is going to test all of us. There will be seasons of stress, uncertainty, pressure, heartbreak, and challenge. But you do NOT have to carry every burden alone. Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is slow down, pray, breathe deeply, trust God, and focus on the next 10 meters in front of you.

This episode is a reminder that "True Strength" isn't just about physical toughness. It's about faith. It's about discipline. It's about protecting your mindset, staying anchored in truth, and continuing to pursue purpose and fulfillment over empty achievement.

I hope today's conversation encourages you, challenges you, and reminds you that your best days are still ahead. Keep going!

If this episode spoke to you, please share it with someone who may need it today. And as always, thank you for allowing me into your ears, your heart, and your life each week.

Are you exhausted… but still can't slow your mind down? Are you showing up, grinding, training, working hard, trying to do all the right things… but deep down, you still feel OFF? In this week's episode of the Todd Durkin IMPACT SHOW, I'm speaking straight from experience as I know many people are dealing with a ton right now: stress, overwhelm, anxiety, and a nervous system that's completely fried. My friends, this episode is not just about training harder or "getting your mind right." It's about learning how to recover, reset, and reclaim your energy so you can start feeling like YOU again. If you've been feeling wired and tired, this episode may be exactly what your body, mind, and soul need today.

Here's what I'm breaking down in this episode:

• Why chronic stress is silently sabotaging your energy, health, recovery, and performance
• The connection between cortisol, inflammation, poor sleep, anxiety, and fat loss
• What it really means to have a dysregulated nervous system
• Why you feel exhausted and anxious at the same time
• How fight-or-flight mode impacts your body, mind, and emotions
• Why you can't outwork chronic stress with more hustle
• The importance of intentional recovery and "mellow yellow" time
• My favorite recovery tools including sauna, cold plunge, compression boots, massage therapy, red light therapy, walks, breath work, and stillness
• How to shift from stress mode into true recovery mode
• My simple recovery protocol you can start implementing immediately
• The power of better sleep habits and my 3-2-1 nighttime recovery routine
• Why recovery is one of the most important performance strategies you can prioritize right now

My friends, hear me on this… you do NOT need to do more right now. You need to recover better. And when you begin to prioritize your recovery, everything changes. Your energy changes. Your mindset changes. Your performance changes. Your outlook changes. And most importantly, you start to get your LIFE back again.

This week we dive into my last 8 mentors and all they have meant to me. This one is deep and has a lot of lessons and wisdom embedded in it. These people have greatly impacted my life on many levels. This includes lessons from Robin Sharma, Pastor Miles McPherson, Dave Ramsey, Ali Brown, LaDainian Tomlinsion, Drew Brees, and both my mother and father.

Some of the lessons included in Part 2 of this series on Mentorship includes:

• My top lessons from Dave Ramsey on business, money, and life. Woah!
• Ali Brown and how her workshop in 2006, which came at a really challenging time, literally changed my life.
• Robin Sharma, and how this long-time mentor has taught me a lot, not only on business, but by living with heart, being guided by passion & purpose, and serving people unequivocally.
• Pastor Miles McPherson and how his discipleship over 28-years has significantly impacted my faith development and the many lessons I have learned.
• Drew Brees and LaDaianian Tomlinson used to train together with me. While I trained them undeniably hard, they have also taught me a few lessons on their journey of both becoming "Hall-of-Famers."
• My Mom & Dad. My greatest mentors taught me a lot about life. While both are no longer with us, their lessons and legacy live on forever.

Here are a few question(s) I have for you? 1. What have your mentor(s) taught you. Please share. 2. What lesson did you learn from a previous mentor that you can get back to applying today? 3. How are you best mentoring others these days?

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:

• The story behind how Fitness Quest 10 got its name and Joe's role in it
• A hilarious behind-the-scenes story from Joe's days as a D1 wrestler at Cal Poly, including a run-in with Chuck Liddell
• Joe's cancer journey and what happened on that life-changing New Year's Eve
• The emotional rollercoaster after diagnosis—and how he chose to respond
• What it means to "fight to be on the tail end" and hold onto hope
• The life lessons Joe learned while staring adversity in the face
• How a wrestler's mentality shaped his grit, resilience, and refusal to quit
• The blessings, gratitude, and perspective that defined his final chapter
• What IMPACT truly means—and the legacy Joe wanted to leave behind

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.

LISTEN TO Joe Pangelinan's episodes Here: Ep. 219 Ep. 352

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:

• Why even high-performers and winners experience discouragement (and why it's human, not weakness)
• The 5 biggest reasons people feel discouraged: o Exhaustion creates distortion o Isolation magnifies pain o Fear of the future drains faith o Comparison steals your joy o Losing sight of purpose drains your soul
• How a tired mind tells false stories—and how to take control of your narrative
• Why rest, recovery, and renewal are not optional—they're essential
• The power of rewriting the story in your mind to change your life
• What courage really means (hint: it's not the absence of fear)
• What inspiration truly is—and how to reconnect to it daily
• 5 practical ways to shift from being discouraged to being encouraged and inspired: o Refill yourself before you react o Rewrite your internal script o Get around the right people (get around FIRE!) o Take one bold action o Practice gratitude as a discipline

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.

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:

• Why self-sabotaging behavior is actually a signal, not the real problem
• How your nervous system impacts your ability to change and grow
• The real reason knowing what to do isn't enough to create results
• How perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking keep you stuck
• Why emotional coping patterns drive habits more than logic
• How to shift from rigid rules to a mindset of experimentation
• What it means to build self-trust instead of relying on willpower
• How to identify and overcome the hidden beliefs shaping your actions
• Why expanding your life matters more than just changing your body
• What it truly means to "be the light" and step into your full potential

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.

P.S Todd Durkin 3.5 Day Mentorship If you're ready to take things to another level, I want to personally invite you to my 3.5 Day Mentorship.

The 3.5 Day Mentorship is back. May 14th through the 17th, right here in San Diego. This will be our 20th mentorship, and it's going to be an intimate, high-level, deep-dive experience. We're talking business, leadership, marketing, mindset, and personal growth—all in one room, with only 20 people.

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:

• The power of reflection and why you must pause to appreciate how far you've come
• Why gratitude—for both the struggles and the victories—is the foundation of greatness
• What it really means to bring a vision to life (and the unseen challenges behind it)
• How community, culture, and energy create something far bigger than just a business
• The reminder that nothing great is built alone—and why your people matter most
• Why "this is just the beginning" is the mindset that fuels long-term success
• How to stay present in the process without rushing to the next milestone
• The truth behind building something that becomes "more than a gym"—and how it becomes a movement

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.

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 let him 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.

If you're ready to step into your BEST season yet, go to: [Schedule a Call Today!]

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:

• Your vision MUST be bigger than your fear — or fear will win
• Why waiting until you're "ready" is the fastest way to stay stuck
• The reality that everything takes longer (and costs more) than expected—and how to stay grounded through it
• Why details create the experience… and the experience creates transformation
• The truth that no great mission is built alone—and how the right team changes everything
• How to choose faith over frustration when things aren't going your way
• Why culture will always beat equipment, strategy, or tactics
• The power of energy in leadership—and how your presence sets the tone
• How to stay locked in when distractions hit by keeping your mission crystal clear
• Why community is EVERYTHING when it comes to lasting impact
• The mindset shift you need to adopt immediately: THE BEST IS YET TO COME

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. Screenshot the episode, throw it up on your social media, and tag me so I can see it. And most importantly, send it to someone who needs this message right now.
