In this episode of The Todd Durkin IMPACT SHOW Podcast, I open up the floor to YOU. This
one is personal. This one is deep. And this one is EXACTLY what many of you need right
now. I asked our text community for questions—and wow, you delivered. From marriage, faith,
and relationships to business, leadership, mindset, marketing, productivity, and youth sports…
we go there. All of it.
We cover 10 real and raw questions, then I wrap it all up with a Spitting Fire message on one
word that's been my February mantra: FINISH. And yes—we close with a powerful prayer you
don't want to skip.
What You'll Hear in This Episode:
1. 25 Years of Marriage — What Actually Makes It Work
I share real talk on communication, faith, respect, working out together, and why "there are no
perfect people." This sets up a deeper conversation coming next week with Melanie.
2. Building Mental Toughness in Athletes (Without Breaking Them)
For coaches and parents—how to teach mindset at the high school level and why kids ages
6–7 simply need to play, compete with joy, and fall in love with the game, not the
scoreboard.
3. Starting (or Restarting) a Business the RIGHT Way
If I had to start over from scratch, here's exactly what I'd do:
This is straight from launching IMPACT-X Performance San Diego with zero members to a full
community.
4. Dreaming Big When Others Don't "Get It"
What to do when your spouse or inner circle questions your dreams—and why that resistance
often has nothing to do with you.
5. God-Sized Dreams & What to Do NEXT
If you've felt re-ignited to dream again, this is your roadmap:
6. Where to Invest Your Marketing Dollars
A high-level breakdown of marketing buckets:
7. Productivity, Focus & Eliminating Noise
Why "focus bubbles" are a game changer—and how one 90-minute distraction-free block can
radically increase your effectiveness.
And after answering these powerful questions, I take a moment to bring it all home with a
message that's been burning on my heart this month: FINISH. So many people are great
starters, but winners are finishers. Finish the workout. Finish the project. Finish the hard
conversation. Finish the calling God placed on your heart. Because momentum, confidence,
and breakthroughs are all found on the other side of finishing what you started. I also close this episode with a powerful prayer—for strength, clarity, endurance, and faith—for anyone feeling tired, overwhelmed, or stuck with unfinished business.
If this episode hits you where you are right now, don't just listen—take action. Share it with
