Merry Christmas and happy holidays. I’m fired up for today's episode, especially as we get deeper into the holidays…and of course, the Annual Strategic Plan. First off, I hope you're taking care of yourself—staying calm, staying relaxed, and of course, crushing your workouts. If you’ve been following through with those things that most people aren’t doing, you’re on the right track. Trust me, it makes a huge difference for your body, mind, and energy levels.
I’m pumped for today’s episode because we've been digging deep into your God-Sized Dreams System and Annual Strategic Plan over the past few episodes (402, 403, and 404). And today, I'm back with more coaching to help you level up for 2025. This is going to be a game-changing episode—this is the final coaching session around your Annual Strategic Plan. But trust me, this is just the beginning for you.
The sections we will be covering today (from the Annual Strategic Plan) and that I will be coaching your through on this episode include:
Optimizing Your Focus…and Energy.
Your Circle of Influence.
Optimizing Your Health.
Deepening & Strengthening Your Relationships.
Your Most Legendary Self.
SOUL-Writing Exercises.
As we get ready to dive in, I want to take a moment to say THANK YOU. You’ve been incredible. As I look back at how far this podcast has come—over 1.2 million listeners worldwide!—I'm beyond grateful. And I’m so excited to continue helping you grow, whether that’s through these coaching episodes on the podcast, by diving deeper into what I’m teaching in our IMPACT-X or Mastermind Coaching (fit pros) programs, or in your Annual Strategic Plan that’s available to you right now. Let’s keep that momentum rolling and let’s get ready to create an iconic 2025.

Buckle-up. It’s about to get even deeper today. Yep. I am in full-blown coach mode as I bring you through 2 “mandatory” sections of your Annual Strategic Plan. First, I want to help coach you to create your most extraordinary 2025 ever. That’s going to include forecasting and envisioning what you will think, dream, create, and manifest in this New Year. Additionally, I will challenge you to think even bigger for your “BIG 5” for 2025 and ask you your “WHY” as it relates to your theme.
And then I’m also going to talk about something even bigger: your LIFE. Yep. I’m not going to dance around it. I’m going to challenge you to eliminate any limiting beliefs or a scarcity mindset that could rob you of ultimately achieving what you desire…and ultimately from you BEING the person you most want to be. This will not only include coaching you through your “BIG 5” for life, this will include you writing your “tombstone statement” and reverse-engineering your life backwards.
Yes, this episode is a “game-changer.” Heck, it’s a “life-changer” if you apply the questions and take action on them. I am pumped for you to dive-in and get fired-up as we frame-up 2025 and beyond. Without further ado, let’s get started.
Please SHARE this episode with someone you love and would love & appreciate some more clarity, specificity, and focus on how they can maximize their IMPACT.

My Annual Strategic Plan & God-Sized Dreams Bundle – [Available at
ToddDurkin.com/gsdplanner/ or on Amazon] -
Are you ready to start flipping the script on 2024? As we begin to reflect and wrap-up this year, I’d like to take a moment and COACH you today. This episode is all about celebrating your wins from 2024, assessing your losses, acknowledging your lessons, and laying the groundwork for what will be an impactful year ahead. I’m sure you have had either a stellar,
breakthrough year or you have faced massive challenge this year…or perhaps you’ve experienced a bit of both. That is exactly why I’m sharing my personal reflections, lessons, and best practices to help you finish 2024 strong also and help you set yourself up for great success in 2025. Additionally, I’ll be sharing deep insights on my God-Sized Dreams System
“Annual Strategic Plan” and COACH you through 11-questions to answer so that you can adequately reflect back on 2024, assess your own habits, wins, and losses, and ultimately get ready to step into 2025 with great energy and clarity. If you’re ready to grow and make 2025 your most extraordinary year, this episode is the first step to do that!Key Takeaways:
1. Celebrate Your Wins: I believe it’s so important to reflect on your victories, big or small, and celebrate them. In this episode, I share why it’s crucial to acknowledge what you accomplished, whether personally or professionally. If you don’t take time to show gratitude
for the wins, the wins stop happening.2. Appreciating Physical & Mental Health: I talk about my own health journey in 2024, especially how recovering from back issues in 2021 and 2022 has impacted my physical and mental well-being today. I’ll share how fitness has been a major source of clarity and focus for
me.
3. The Power of Content Creation: Creating content that resonates with others is at the heart of my mission. I’ll discuss how producing podcasts, blog posts, emails, social media content and other content is a way to serve our community—and how discipline in content
creation has been a core part of my success.
4. Managing Bad Habits: No one’s perfect, and I certainly have my own bad habits! I reflect on areas I’ve struggled with in 2024, such as not reading as much as I wanted to and not taking enough time off. I’ll talk about how important it is to learn from your habits, both good and
bad, and make changes for the better.
5. Growth in Coaching & Leadership: In 2024, I became even more focused on life coaching, impacting others through IMPACT-X Performance, and helping leaders grow their businesses. I’ll share some of the key lessons I’ve learned through coaching and how working with others has helped me grow, too.
6. Gratitude for the Journey: Gratitude is something I practice daily. In this episode, I talk about how grateful I am for the people and experiences that shaped my 2024—whether it was team, family, or you here, my podcast listeners.
7. Strategic Planning for 2025: Looking ahead, I share why it’s so important to set bold, meaningful goals and create a clear vision for the future. If you want to make 2025 extraordinary, it starts with a plan, and I’ll guide you through that process starting with this episode.
8. Actionable Advice for the New Year: I challenge you to make 2025 your "comeback season" whether you had a rough year or a successful one. I’m going to encourage you to evaluate your daily habits and make changes that will help you grow into the best version
of yourself.Please Share Your Journey. I’d love to hear how you’re applying the lessons from this episode to your own life. Snap a picture of this podcast episode, tag me on social media, and share your thoughts! I’ll repost and engage with your journey.
Thank you so much for listening. As we wrap up 2024, I hope you take a moment to reflect, plan, and prepare for an extraordinary 2025. I’ll be back next week with a new episode where we’ll dive into setting your specific goals for 2025 and making this year your best yet.

In this special episode, recorded in the beautiful, snowy Whitefish Lake, Montana, I dive into the powerful cycle of life and success.

I dreaded the day knowing it was coming…and it’s here. Since my son Luke was in the 7th grade and he started playing Pop Warner football, I always put a “helmet note” in his helmet the night before every game. I did the same thing with my son Brady as well, albeit a different message. I do the same thing with what I call “Cleat Notes” for my daughter McKenna’s lacrosse and soccer games now. But this weekend is my last HELMET NOTE.
WOW. I’ve never shared a HELMET NOTE publicly…until today. 10+ years of writing notes before ALL their games. Sometimes it’s a few sentences. Normally it’s a few paragraphs. Every now and then it’s a bit longer. Today, it’s DEEP.
How my father started the tradition of “Helmet Notes” with me as a 6th-Grade
On today’s IMPACT SHOW podcast, you will hear…
Pop Warner player and the IMPACT it had on me. The frame-work of every HELMET NOTE or CLEAT NOTE. Why do “Helmet Notes” or “Cleat Notes” for your kids? My LAST HELMET NOTE. “9” Traits of Greatness. What can you do for your kids, or grand-kids, or those you coach/mentor?
While this weekend will be Luke’s last college football game and I’m excited to see him play, I’m also excited to drop some gems in this one that are going to serve him the rest of his life. Here we go…
If you enjoy today’s podcast and found value in it, can you please SHARE IT with someone who will benefit also. Maybe it’s your kids who now have kids themselves and want to start a tradition. Or maybe it’s a coach or trainer who wants to start a tradition like this for their student-athletes, knowing this is a great way to drop in wisdom to their kid. Either way, please SHARE IT NOW or

What a fun episode today as I got the opportunity to sit down and chop it up
with 3-young college interns from Fitness Quest 10 and their Director (Ryan
Rogers). It was awesome to have an open conversation on all things on
their mind and how I can help them on their journey in health, fitness, &
coaching. They asked some very thought-provoking questions that lead to
deep reflections and deep answers.
Here are the questions that the 3 interns (Larry Hando, Max Jackson, and
Ian Castillo) asked Ryan Rogers and I on today’s IMPACT SHOW podcast:
1. "What was the moment that you knew you wanted to go into fitness &
motivational speaking and what has made you stay on this path?"
2. "How do you find the balance between personal life and your passion for
fitness and helping people?"
3. “How do you keep your mind right through the pain & struggle you have
had to endure?"
4. “When you're in your dark times, or you fail, or you feel guilty about
something, how do you process that and get through it?”
5. "How do you keep your ego in check when working with both high-level
athletes and everyday clients? How do you stay humble and treat
everyone equally?"
6. "What’s the most fulfilling part of your work and how do you stay
motivated after years of coaching?"
7. “What advice do you have for young coaches or trainers just starting out
in the industry?"
8. “In 24-years of Fitness Quest 10, what were your fondest memories and
most special experiences, accolades, or events?”Man, did I love this conversation. Some of the macro-themes centered
The power of SHOWING-UP. The concept of “Be Humble…Be Hungry” and how that relates these days. The importance of building relationships and the right network, as this lends to your community that you are part of. How to deal with physical pain, loss, failure, and challenge…and how they ultimately can serve as catalysts for growth also. Building a career with Purpose and the elements it requires to do so over years and decades. The Beauty of the Beginning, when there were no frills and just hard work, dedication, and a driving vision to help people. Wisdom & advice for New Coaches & Trainers.
around topics such as…MAN!! This was such a fun episode and it was so great getting to
connect with these young interns who are eager to learn and grow in
the fitness industry. Their questions reminded of the power of
consistency, the importance of showing up, and the incredible impact
coaching can have on someone. While the road to success can often
be tough, filled with challenges and even pain, it’s in those very
moments that we experience the most growth. Keep growing…and
keep going!
Thanks for listening. If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to leave a

I’m sitting on the banks of Lake Norman, NC, as I record this and I’m feeling especially sentimental and emotional. There are several reasons why, but none more than the fact that my Mom, “Muffy” Durkin, is aging and she turns 92-years old this week. She’s down in Florida resting-up and I want to celebrate her with all of you in my podcast community. As a matter of fact, I want to dedicate this episode to her today.
My family has been spending a lot of time down in FL the last several months as she needs round the clock health care. Well, I’ve shared before that Mom has not thrown out too much sentimental stuff over the years (remember, I’ve also shared that’s where I received this bad “pack-rat gene” from) and I’ve joked that it will someday come in handy. Today is ONE of those days…
Here is what I share in this week’s episode:
A birthday letter I wrote to my Mom in 1986 (when I was just 15-years old).
4-special traits I want to share about Momma Durkin.
Why it’s important to know “You’re Day is Coming.”
WOW Book Chapter #10.
The best thing Momma Durkin ever did for me and my family.
ACTION Steps to take to become an even better parent, coach, mentor, or friend.
What are a few of your fondest memories of your Mom…and/or your Dad?
What traits do/did they have that you most admire?
How do you best exhibit those traits now as a parent (or as a mentor, friend, or colleague)?
How can you even better display these traits, characteristics, and commitment?
A “fitting” close to the episode from one of my favorite conversations with her a few years back.
It was an emotional episode. Thanks for celebrating Momma Durkin with me and I hope it spurs you into taking action into becoming an even better parent, coach, mentor, or friend.

In this powerful episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Janelle Trujillo, a dedicated health-habit coach with an inspiring story. Together, we explored the significance of self-reflection, the impact of surrounding ourselves with positive energy continuously, and the essential role healthy habits play in achieving overall well-being. Janelle shared her transformative journey from overcoming personal challenges to becoming a coach who now empowers many others.
I invite you to tune in to Episode 389 of the IMPACT SHOW for powerful insights on nurturing your spirit, cultivating healthy habits, and creating a meaningful IMPACT in your life and the lives of those around you.
Here are some Key Takeaways and Janelle’s Top 6 Life-Habits Tips:
1. Assess Your Energy:
I encourage you to reflect on what you allow into your life. Are those influences enhancing your light or dimming it? Janelle emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and surrounding yourself with ongoing positivity.
2. The Value of Seeking Support:
I ask Janelle what advice she would give to her younger self, prompting her to share the importance of reaching out for help. Janelle inspires young people, especially women, to use their voices and seek guidance from trusted mentors and friends.
3. Build Healthy Habits:
Success in fitness and wellness isn't just about having a good body, or even eating right, and it’s not just about having the right plan; it’s about making ALl this a part of your daily lifestyle. Consistency is key if you want to be healthy, vibrant, and happy!
4. Empower Young Women:
Janelle shares heartfelt advice for teenage girls navigating societal pressures, reminding them to find their voices and seek wisdom.
5. Spiritual Grounding:
A lot of people don't like to talk about the spiritual battle young people face, and Janelle encourages seeking wisdom and grounding in your values and spiritual faith to help navigate life’s challenges.
6. Coaching for Impact:
Janelle highlights her mission as a coach to be a Lighthouse for others, helping them discover their paths and purposes while overcoming their struggles. I ask her what "IMPACT" means to her, and she beautifully describes it as helping others find their way.
WOW, what a powerful episode! Janelle’s journey from facing personal struggles to becoming a beacon of hope for others is truly inspiring. Her insights on self-reflection, the importance of seeking support, and building healthy habits resonate deeply, especially for young women navigating the complexities of life. It’s a reminder that we’re not alone in our challenges and that reaching out for help can lead to profound transformations. I hope this episode inspires you to reflect on your own habits, seek wisdom, and step boldly into your journey. Remember, you have the power to create a positive impact in your life and the lives of others. Let’s continue to uplift and empower each other as we strive for growth and purpose!

I was introduced to the Theragun (percussive vibrational product) when I was filming NBC STRONG back in 2015 and it about saved my life. Seriously. It was one of those moments where you say to yourself, “Man, I wish I had thought of this and invented it.” Well, it wasn’t long after that I met the founder of the Theragun and the parent company, Therabody, Dr. Jason Wersland.
Dr. Jason Wersland is an inspirational man who has had decades of big highs and devastating lows. He is a chiropractor and healer by trade and his entrepreneurial pursuits have been paved with personal and professional challenges such as bankruptcy, divorce, and great loss. And he’s had some extraordinary wins and he’s on a mission to IMPACT millions of people positively. He shares it all on today’s podcast filled with great wisdom, soul, and impact.
Here is some of what we discuss on today’s IMPACT SHOW:
PROFESSIONAL:
You’re a chiro by trade. How did you come to create the Theragun? And when was that…
2015 & 2016. STRONG. I got introduced to Theragun and fell in love with it. Where was the company at then?
9-years later, tell us about where Therabody is at NOW?
What’s your vision of Therabody for the next 3-5 years?
What are 5-7 of your TOP LESSONS learned as an entrepreneur?
If there is one thing you could do over, what is it?
Managing growth. Did you grow too slow…too fast. Looking back, what did you DO WELL…what didn’t you do so well?
Where do you see the brick & mortar “Recovery & Wellness” space going?
You personally and Therabody have been playing a BIG PART in the “Recovery” pillar of the IMPACT-X Performance fitness & coaching franchise. We are really excited about this relationship. Tell our listeners what we are doing in that “Recovery” space and what most excites you about this relationship?
PERSONAL:
You have had one heckuva entrepreneurial journey. I’m sure it has taken its toll in some areas of your life. What has been the hardest part of it all?
What are 3-5 of your TOP HABITS as a busy professional that keep you sane.
What is your “divine uniqueness” or your “super power”?
What’s something that you do that no one knows that helps you be YOU.
Your brother. You lost him several years back. How did you get through that most difficult period of your life?
What one thing am I NOT asking you that you wish I did.
Legacy. Life a life worth telling a story about…what’s your story? Your life. Your legacy. What do you want them to say about your life someday…
WOW. What an episode. The wisdom and “war-scars” behind Dr Jason is evident. You can literally feel his authenticity, drive, and mission to change the world and “be in the home of every American.” That to me is IMPACT!
