Lunch-Ticket Kid to IMPACT Man with Todd Durkin

Live a life worth telling a story about…what’s your story. I believe each & every one of us has a special story inside of us. Today, I’m actually sharing my story with you from an interview I did with Cody Smith, from his podcast, Men on the Rise. We recorded this podcast just two days before my knee replacement, and I go deep on my purpose and share my story from being the lunch ticket kid to where I am today.

Specifically, I share:

  • The winding road of healing that led me to health and fitness
  • Live with purpose and tapping into the whispers.
  • Now is the time to Dream Big and deepen my purpose
  • Thoughts before surgery
  • My willingness to serve people
  • A Day in the Life of…
  • When Life Works List – WLWL
  • How to reverse engineer your life
  • What would you say to the person who wants to be like you?

This episode is guaranteed to Get Your Mind Right, and would love it if you could share it with your friends and family.
