What Are You Willing to Die For?

I heard a quote the other day that I absolutely LOVED. Kamilah Stevenson said, “Don’t wait until you’re DYING to really start LIVING.”

Deep thought. Deep quote.

There is another quote I’ve said before from Pastor TD Jakes that says, “You can’t really start LIVING until you are ready to die for something. What are you willing to die for?”

Perhaps even more profound.

Bottom line is this… why do you LIVE? What is your PURPOSE? What is it that fuels your soul?

For me, LIVING is about creating IMPACT every day and inspiring people to be their best. At Fitness Quest 10. When I’m speaking. For those in my Mastermind or who I coach. And for my family.

What is it that I’m willing to DIE for? I’m willing to die for 3 things:

1. My family.

2. Trainers/coaches who are 100% committed to transform people’s lives. I literally love my profession.

3. For my community of fire-breathing dragons who wake up every day NOT feeling perfect but who battle their butts off to bring their best to the world.

Ultimately, I want to make sure that I become the man that God designed me to be. That’s between He and I. But that takes effort. Commitment. Sacrifice. Dedication. Courage. Love. And a lot of faith.

How about you? What is it that you LIVE for and that you are willing to DIE for?

I would love to know what drives you. Hit me up on our Fitness Quest 10 FB page as I just asked this question and want to hear your answer…

Celebrating 20-years at Fitness Quest 10!

When I started Fitness Quest 10 at the age of 29, I didn’t have the same fire as I did today. Check that. I had the same passion but not as deep a purpose.

Let me tell you, it was scary as heck starting my business in January 2000. It was a different climate. Instead of having fitness studios, gyms, and clubs on every other block, there were NONE. Well, there were very few. Now, they are everywhere.

And to think that I had no clients, no money, and no business plan, makes me laugh about what the heck I was doing.

Actually, it has been one heckuva 20-years and I’m very proud of what the team and I have been able to do in our wonderful community of Scripps Ranch and San Diego. And beyond.

As a matter of fact, if you missed my recent episode, #42 of the “Todd Durkin IMPACT Show,” I discussed my “Top 10 Memories in 20 Years of Business.” Listen in now…

My “Top 10 Memories in 20-years of Business”

I received GREAT feedback on that episode and encourage you to listen in. In it, I cover:

• The dream and journey of starting FQ10 and WHY I started it.
• What I felt when starting FQ10… and what I feel now 20-years later.
• My vision.
• And of course, my TOP 10 memories. And they weren’t all “good.”

Listen in on your drive to work. Or when you are dropping the kids off from school. Or during your next run in the neighborhood.

I would love to not only know what you think, I would love for you to know some of the back story of what makes us WHO we are today.

Thanks for being part of our community. It is people like you who DRIVE my team and I to do what we do.

On behalf of the entire Fitness Quest 10 team, thank you for allowing us to live our WHY and help you LIVE YOURS also!

Much love…and Happy 20th anniversary to FQ10!!

Todd

I’m blessed and honored to call Todd Durkin one of my best friends as well as a mentor and coach. He’s someone who has impacted me in the greatest areas of my life and I can promise you this: Todd Durkin will get your mind right however you work with him.

Drew Brees

Todd has been a huge blessing to our church, ministry, family, and me personally. Not only has he trained me and become a close friend, but he’s spoken at our church many times. If you are looking for someone to deliver some serious IMPACT, Todd will be a blessing to anyone in the room.

Dr. David Jeremiah

Working with Todd has been the best decision I have made in my pro career. The energy, focus, mentorship and elite training has brought me to new heights year after year.

“Get your mind right!” boomed over the speakers and the session took off like a rocket. After three long years, the Hand & Stone franchise community was gathering for our International Conference in San Antonio, TX. Our community had endured nearly three years of constant change, and we gathered to celebrate- both the rich history of the organization and the bold, new paths we were planning to walk in the future. In that space, Todd Durkin was the perfect choice to keynote our general session. The 800+ attendees were challenged, motivated, and most importantly inspired by TD’s incredibly dynamic session. Equal parts vision and actionable framework, Todd’s talk was one of the highlights of the conference, and our community left with a renewed purpose to become the very best of themselves.

John Teza

President & CEO, Hand and Stone Franchise Corp.

I have known Todd since 2012 when I read his ‘IMPACT Body Plan’ book. I have been to many of his events, read all his books, listen to his podcasts, have hired him multiple times to speak at my company, and I still get coached by him today. To say he’s been a big part of the success of Nassau FG and has also had huge IMPACT on me as a father, husband, and man is an understatement. Todd Durkin is the real-deal. When I say “Iron Sharpens Iron,” TD is one of those people who sharpens me. Let him sharpen you also!

Gus Cheliotis

GENERAL COUNSEL & COO, NASSAU FINANCIAL GROUP

The time that Todd spent with our Leadership Team was focused, intentional, and direct. He inspired us to refine how we lead ourselves and our team of 160 people to ensure we are making the most IMPACT possible in their lives, our clients’ lives, and our community. His energy is unmatched and his ability to connect with individuals is remarkable.

If you’re looking for a high impact experience for the men of your church that will challenge them at their core and inspire them to be more, then bring in Todd Durkin. His insatiable passion and real-life coaching will connect with the men and move them to live a life of high impact. I would highly recommend you get a ‘Dose of Durkin’!

Jason Cullum

Lead Pastor, Christ’s Church

Todd is one of the elite resources in the country when it relates to helping high-performing CEOs and leaders create even greater impact in their field or life. He is transformative in the manner in which he delivers his narrative in order to connect, engage, and achieve impact at the highest levels. He is one of the great change agents anywhere – helping leaders go from great to excellence. I am proud of his work with my clients, many leaders of publicly traded companies and high-functioning management teams, and with me personally. He is a life coach and leadership master to those who are in sports and business.

Brad Deutser

CEO + President, Deutser, LLC

We brought Todd in for a virtual keynote for our Leadership, Education, Advocacy, and Development Group for Women. It was amazing to see how he not only connected with everyone through the screen, but you could literally feel his energy and passion as if he was living on stage with us. He not only inspired us and reminded us of the grit needed to “Get your mind right,” but also gave us actionable habits and homework to be the best version of ourselves. Todd gave us an outstanding presentation and truly inspires greatness every day!

Susan Couch

SVP Business Banking Client Manager, Bank of America

We invited Todd to have an impact on our sales and account management teams – to inspire them to think about personal health and well-being and to do so on an intellectual, emotional, and spiritual level. His presentation translated to lasting behavior change amongst our associates. From the moment Todd began his presentation, the teams were transfixed by his genuine energy and powerful, impactful messages about personal growth and accountability to the organization. Although Todd has trained many famous athletes, I highly encourage company leaders to understand that his messages are applicable to everyone in all industries. When you invite Todd to be a part of your life, your organization, you better be careful – he will make you better.

I attended the Todd Durkin Mastermind retreat in White Fish, Montana, because I know that to be a successful fitness professional and entrepreneur, I need to stay lit up and energized. Members of the TD Mastermind are passionate and elite at what they do because they put in the work and help others along the way. The TD Mastermind is a place to feel supported, cared about, seen, and inspired to do more for others. We are all on a mission, and we can’t do it alone. The members, coaches, and of course, Todd inspire me to be better and to do more. With the help of the TD Mastermind, I will go back to my community inspired and equipped with tools that needed sharpening. Montana was glorious, but this trip was all about the people.

Kelly Spraragen Young

TD Mastermind Member

I attended the Todd Durkin Mastermind retreat in Whitefish, MT, and have been an Institute level member since 2019. As a younger fitness professional with 8 years in the industry, joining the Mastermind has been a Godsend for my personal, professional, and spiritual growth. The Todd Durkin Mastermind consists of some of the best and consummate fitness professionals/business owners around the world, but most importantly, a goldmine of good, genuine people. Our visions, careers, service to others, and legacies require us to go deep into who we are and what we do as professionals. However, it’s the high-level coaching, support of fellow members, and commitment to sharpening each other that take us to different levels. Iron sharpens Iron.

Tim Carter

TD Mastermind Member

Joining the Todd Durkin Mastermind has been one of the best decisions, both professionally and personally I’ve ever made. To be part of a community with heart-centered leaders, who truly want the best for each other, has positively spilled into all areas of my life. The coaching from each leader and member of the TD Mastermind is world-class, genuine, and personal and has helped me grow and lead my team. I’ve had a safe community to come with any struggle, hardship, or big decision that felt overwhelming to navigate alone. We give so much of our hearts and souls in this industry, it’s important to have a place to fill back up with. Coming together at retreats gives you all the octane and more to keep chasing dreams and changing lives. Investing in the mastermind and being part of this community has proved beyond my expectations in every way. If you want to be part of a team who sees your strength, pushes you to greatness, and is there to catch you when you fall – the TD Mastermind is where it’s at!

The Todd Durkin Mastermind is my extended fitness family. Each time we gather, we seem to grow even closer as time continues to change us and our businesses. It just feels right. It is not always about crunching numbers, the number of new sign-ups, or how many programs we have running. It runs much deeper. As we grow older relationships and time become more valuable. You have only so many more clicks of the clock and encounters and experiences. They should be spent with those who elevate you. The TD Mastermind does just that!
