This was one of my favorite interviews and conversations of All-Time on the IMPACT SHOW. Aaron Taylor, College Football Hall of Famer, NFL Super Bowl Champion, and current CBS college football analyst, goes deep and talks about all things LIFE. And I’m talking DEEP. If this episode doesn’t get your mind right and remind you of WHO you are and WHY you were made, then check your pulse…or just listen to the episode over and over! In today’s IMPACT Show, Aaron and I go deep on overcoming an identity crisis, finding purpose and fulfillment, creating transformation in your life, and what Aaron’s doing to shine a spotlight on brain and mental health. Our topics include: - Why Aaron almost quit high-school football (he played for an iconic program) and how his Mom and coach eventually saved him from quitting. - How his drinking habits in college (Notre Dame) & pro football (Packers) derailed him and how he overcame that addiction. - How a career-ending injury in the NFL and transition in life led him down a deep winding journey to find a deeper purpose in life and now IMPACT a lot of people. - Aaron’s 5 Pillars of Fulfillment in Life. This is DEEP! - Going from a “V.I.P.” to a “P.I.P.” - The importance of brain and mental health and how he deals with it today. - The importance of male role models for kids today. - The journey to finding purpose and significance in life and how to best do that. You’re going to laugh in this episode, you may even shed a few tears. You are definitely going to think deeply, be introspective, and have your SOUL tugged a few times while listening to this episode. It is without a doubt one of my favorites of ALL-TIME. After you listen to it, you will understand why. You’re going to want to listen to this man’s soulful message over and over again. He truly moved me, and he will move and inspire you as well. You’re probably going to want to listen to this episode 2-3 times and definitely save it to come back to when you need it most. Lastly, if there is ever an episode to SHARE with your friends, family, colleagues, and community, THIS one is it. It is definitely going to create some IMPACT and “speak” to a lot of people.

U.S. Marines are some of the “badest” people on the planet. And I want you to meet one of them today. Meet 1st Lieutenant Riley Compton, a 25-year-old Marine who leads hundreds of other Marines. 1st Lt. Compton was recently named the U.S. Marine Corps Female Athlete of the Year. She is also training for the U.S. Olympic Bobsled team and has her sights on making the winter Olympics in 2024. In this episode, we discuss many things including: - What drew Riley to the U.S. Marines and what it is like currently overseeing 300+ other Marines. - How an Indiana native became an Olympic bobsled hopeful after joining the Marine Corps. - Why Riley got into bobsledding and her desire to be a world-class athlete and compete at the highest level. - How Riley’s relationship with her father has fueled her passion and zest for life. - Keeping a positive attitude and spirit, even when facing adversity. - Faith and the important role it plays in everything she does. - The importance of “role models” and what you should do today if they want to be successful. I must share with you how much I truly enjoyed this episode. If there is ever an episode that gives me hope for our future, a smile on my face, and confidence that the world has some incredible role models in it, it’s this one. To see a woman serving our country, leading hundreds of other Marines, satiating her desire to be a world-class athlete, and keeping her faith at the forefront in all she does, truly is inspiring. While she may not have the influence of a “social media influencer,” THIS is the kind of role model everyone needs today. And our great country needs more extraordinary women like Riley Compton. If you resonate with the message in today’s Show and are excited to hear the fervor, spirit, and energy of one of America’s “young & upcoming stars” (as voted on by urs truly), please share this episode and be sure to Riley and me.

And I refuse to let it have a hold of me.” ~ Riley Compton "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." ~ Proverb 3 5-6 “Chasing Greatness in so many ways is that we are never completely done with our chase.” ~ Todd Durkin Join the TD Community for FREE: Simply text me “IMPACT” to (619)304.2216 and you are on your way to receiving exclusive content and even more motivation & inspiration.

This episode is mind-blowing. Zion Clark grew up with no legs and was in 8 foster care homes for the first 17 years of his life. During that time, he suffered physical abuse, mental abuse, and starvation. Today, Zion is an elite athlete, actor, musician, and Guinness World Record holder. He also has dreams of making the Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics in wrestling and wheelchair racing respectively. He has millions of followers on social media and is on a crusade to change a lot of lives. In this 6th episode of the “Chasing Greatness” series of the IMPACT Show, I sit down with Zion and we discuss many topics, including: - Defying Expectations, big dreams, and the “no excuse” mentality. - How sports and great coaches kept him mentally strong. - Why he never quit wrestling, despite losing almost every match from 2nd grade to his senior year in high school. - How his mother Kimberli has inspired him and kept him going. - How he physically does what he does, despite having no legs. - His dreams/goals of making the Paris 2024 Olympics & the Paralympics for wrestling & wheelchair racing. - Why his life’s mission is about completely changing the foster care system. Zion is one of the most amazing and unique souls you will ever meet. Truly inspirational. You will hear the excitement in his voice when he talks about changing lives, making the world a better place, his drive to be a professional athlete and Olympian, and why he is going to do everything possible to make sure no child has to experience what he did growing up in foster care. If you love this conversation as much as I enjoyed interviewing Zion, please snap a photo of the cover of the podcast and SHARE this episode on your social media or forward it to a friend, colleague, or family member.

Sometimes on the road to greatness, you get derailed. Setbacks, roadblocks, obstacles… or even injuries occur and you get temporarily side-tracked. Meet Daniel Camarena, an MLB pitcher with the San Diego Padres (who I’ve trained since he was a young kid) who pursued getting to “The Show” for 10-years in the minors before getting his first call-up. Yep, a full decade! As a matter of fact, in his first hit in the Majors last year, Daniel hit a grand-slam home run that triggered a huge San Diego Padres comeback and eventual win. “DC” is one of only 2 pitchers in MLB history to hit a grand slam for his first hit in the “Bigs.” But Daniel’s career was recently side-tracked as he just had Tommy John surgery just weeks prior to this recording. He injured his UCL during Spring Training and he needed to get it surgically repaired. While it’s a devastating year-long injury, I was reminded that the “Chase for Greatness” is definitely an upward climb filled with pot-holes, twists & turns, and sometimes even tough setbacks. This one is no different and is why I wanted Daniel on the Show. In this “Chasing Greatness” episode of the IMPACT Show, Daniel and I talk in detail about how he stays focused through challenges and triumphs, the importance of surrounding yourself with good people during the good times & bad times, the significance of a positive mindset and the crazy details leading up to his history-making grand-slam. This episode is chock-full of insights including: - The importance of staying ready so you don’t have to get ready. - How a positive mindset is essential to recovery and overcoming challenges. - Surrounding yourself by positive people is vital. - The toughest challenge he’s had to overcome was the death of his father and how that has fueled his toughness, tenacity, and focus. - Sacrifice is necessary to be great and what he does to keep his habits in line with his goals. - Significance of family support. - What’s next for Daniel Camarena. I know you are going to enjoy this episode and the full “Chasing Greatness” series - It will inspire you to embrace, nurture, and share your inner greatness.

Could you imagine playing in the NFL for 14-years? Could you imagine only starting 5-games in those 14-years? Meet Chase Daniel. Perennial backup, team guy, and a 1% of the 1% who not only makes the NFL but has a 10+ year career in the League. On this episode of the IMPACT SHOW, I sit down with Chase to discuss what greatness means to him, what has helped him achieve and maintain a successful 14-year career as a professional football player in the NFL, his philosophy on preparation, his vital importance in his role as a back-up quarterback, and what keeps him going these days. This episode of “Chasing Greatness” goes beyond the football field and is full of insight and wisdom about the tools and mindset needed on the journey of chasing greatness, regardless of one’s career, including: - Preparing like you are the starter, no matter your position or where you are on the depth chart. - Knowing the importance of your role on the team, and how you can make your teammates and your team better, regardless of the depth chart. - How to get ready and stay ready so when the opportunity arises, you can make the most of it. - Why being focused on the PROCESS (vs. just the Product) is super-important to sustained success and greatness. - How to be “coachable” and make sure your character, work ethic, and attitude contribute positively to a team and its culture. - What are his biggest motivators today and how that has changed throughout his career. Listen to this episode as it’s guaranteed to not only give you a different perspective on “carrying the clipboard” for a career versus behind a valuable teammate on a mission to help your organization reach the pinnacle of success. Bottom line is there is no substitute for hard work. Period. This is true no matter your role and no matter your profession. Hard work is essential to chasing greatness whether you are a CEO, an entrepreneur, a business owner, a coach, or a backup quarterback. You have to work hard in order to achieve greatness. Now LISTEN IN and then go get after it! I can’t wait for you to listen to today’s SHOW and hear what you have to say about it.

Ep. 250 already! WOW-O-WOW. What happens if you’ve achieved greatness in one career, retire, and then embark on a new journey? Not always as easy as it sounds but one that is often necessary when going into your “2nd curve” in life. Does leaving one career for another career mean your pursuit of greatness is complete…or just beginning? On today’s IMPACT SHOW, future NFL Hall-of-Fame QB Drew Brees talks about “chasing greatness” in his new walks of life: business, broadcasting, philanthropy, and even being a father. While Drew & NBC parted ways just days after this recording, this does not mean his broadcast days are over. As a matter of fact, they may be just beginning. Listen in to hear his thoughts, mentality, and what’s exciting him in his post-football career. Specifically, here is what Drew and I talk about on the Show: - The “rookie mentality” when in a new career and how this can be an advantage. - Drew’s definition of greatness and its key elements. - Setting daily “non-negotiables” and making sure you stick by them during the difficult times in life. - Paralysis by Analysis and why it’s important to get into a “flow” state. - How to stay in the moment when there is so much busyness and chaos going on. - What’s next for Drew? I hope you enjoy this episode and tune in for the full “Chasing Greatness” series. I know you are going to love it and be inspired to release your inner greatness. 2 things: 1.

Is there another level inside of you? I believe each of us is on a journey for the perpetual pursuit of excellence and to become the best version of one’s self. Can I get an “Amen” to that? Today’s IMPACT Show is kicking off a new series I’m calling “Chasing Greatness.” It will help you in ALL walks of life. We all have greatness inside of us and I want to help rip it out. Today is the day to commit or recommit, to being your best self and lighting up the world with more of YOUR GREATNESS. In today’s episode, I challenge Merriam-Webster’s definition of greatness with my own personal definition of greatness and means of measurement. We’re also going to talk about the traits and habits of the people I view as great, introduce you to some “great” people, and the IMPACT they have made on me, their community, and the world. These are some of the “greatest” athletes, entrepreneurs, military personnel, and inspirational people of our era. Specifically, here is what you can expect on today’s IMPACT SHOW: - TD’s definition of greatness. - Who are some of “The Greats” and that you will hear from in the upcoming weeks. - The traits & habits of “the greats.” - “Great” questions to ask yourself in your pursuit of excellence. - How to perpetually pursue your best self AND find joy and fulfillment in the process of becoming the best version of YOU. I hope you enjoy this episode and tune in for the full “Chasing Greatness” series. I know you are going to love it and be inspired to release your inner greatness. 2 things: Please SHARE this episode and your excitement for this series.
