There is nothing like being in the right room or listening to the right conversation. It can make all the difference in the world with a thought, idea, dream, vision, or even action-step. I recently had the opportunity to interview 5 of the smartest coaches I know. I work closely with them on many different facets of business & life and they are all brilliant in their own right. I believe you will hear that in today’s IMPACT SHOW episode.   Here is what you will hear: Quick 30-sec...

Dreams and intentions do come true. It was my intention in 2023 to have Pastor David Jeremiah on the podcast. But between our schedules, we couldn’t make it work…until NOW. Just a few weeks ago, “Dr J” asked me if I could come to Christian Schools and he could interview me at chapel in front of his 1,200 students. Furthermore, he said we could use that for the podcast. BOOM. It turned out more like a deep conversation on many pertinent topics and I think you’re going to enjoy it! Divine...

Randy Hetrick is a former Navy Seal, Stanford MBA, founder of TRX, and the founder of OutFit Training. Randy is not only one of my great friends, he has been an entrusted colleague and friend for more than 15-years. While he’s had one heckuva career, the last 3-years have been a whirlwind as he “lost” TRX when they had to file for bankruptcy, founded OutFit Training, a technology-enabled mobile fitness franchise, and then ended up simultaneously buying TRX back out of bankruptcy. Yep. All...

This is as real as it gets. He’s one of my best friends, we have trained together at Fitness Quest 10 since 2001, he has created a ton of IMPACT in the fitness industry…and he just had one of the toughest years any man or woman could ever imagine. You see, as this podcast drops, it’s coincidentally one-year to the day that Brett’s wife Lisa suffered a massive anyeurism at just age 44 and tragically passed away. And just like that, Brett became a “single-father” to his 10-year old Maddie and...

Buckle-up your boot-straps boys & girls as I’m back in front of 1,200 kiddos talking about something really important in today’s day…the “A, B, C’s of Life” for ALL people. I absolutely cherish every opportunity to speak to all the students, teachers, and admin at Christian H.S. I know how important “chapel” is for Pastor David Jeremiah and how he’s made it one of the central focus-points in a week for the entire school. So it’s time for me to light up the stage and do some “preaching.”  ...

Have you ever been so angry at a sports coach, program, or situation that you couldn’t wait for a season to be over with…or you wondered how the heck you could have so much anger in your humanly heart about a situation? Or have you ever wondered how/why the “big business” of sport has trickled down all the way to youth athletics? Or have you ever heard the “psycho parent” who is just lighting-up the referee or coach to the point where YOU are actually embarrassed? (please don’t tell me YOU...

I’ve literally been waiting for this episode since June when Christine Conti won the prestigious IDEA 2023 Fitness Instructor of the Year in Los Angeles, CA. Yes, I had to wait to record this one so I could be LIVE at the Jersey Shore with my fellow Brick, NJ, fit-fam friend in her podcast studio (Two Fit Crazies & a Microphone). This episode could easily be called “2 Fire-breathing dragons (literally) and a microphone” and you will see WHY during the show.   Christine Conti has one...

Buckle-up my friends…I’m going deep today. I was recently on the phone with my great friend and client, Pastor David Jeremiah. “Dr J” always provides such wisdom and insight and this conversation was no different. The only problem was that he was in the hospital getting a battery of tests, despite them all coming up “negative.” And then he said it. He said, “Todd, I know exactly what this is. My book ‘The Great Disappearance’ is coming out in a few weeks (Oct 3rd) and I know exactly what is...

I’m speaking to someone today. Not sure if you are facing any challenge, setback, adversity, hard-times, or some tough-luck, but chances are there might be something going on that you need to battle through. Maybe you are facing some stress, frustration, or anxiety, and need to battle right now. Sometimes when you are facing these things, we forget what we should do, or we just don’t do what’s necessary, to endure through the deepest of challenges. If I’m speaking to you, TODAY’S podcast is...

Back by popular demand and request, I’m recording this episode from 35,000 feet enroute from San Diego to Monterey, CA, to deliver a keynote. I love being up “above the clouds” where I can think, write, dream…and even record a podcast. One of the recent questions I received from one of our listeners was all about “How do you prepare for a Keynote and ultimately knock it out of the park?” I figured what better time to share my thoughts on this from Alaska Flight 3489 from high in the sky.   ...

Everywhere you look, people are asking the same question, “What the heck is happening in this crazy world we live in?” Depression and suicide are both on a rise, outrage has replaced reasoned discourse, victimhood is now a virtue, and cynicism in more the norm, instead of the exception. Enter in Marine Corps veteran Captain Jayson Downing who is on a mission to “Reawaken the warrior spirit and what it means to be a warrior in the modern west today.” Drawing on his own experiences in military...

I have long said that Coach Kelli Watson is one of the greatest coaches in the world. I’ve been side-by-side with her for over a decade and witnessed her coach people inside all my programs as she’s one of my LEAD coaches.
