Episode #514
Prioritize health with non-negotiable routines—sleep first (the day starts the night before), then morning journaling and movement to win the day.
Reverse-engineer big goals by writing a strategic plan, sharing it for accountability, and reviewing it daily and quarterly—writing creates clarity.
Adopt the buffalo mindset: face storms head-on, invest energy intentionally, and seek inspired action by getting in the room and showing up.
Be more like that buffalo that's attacking the storm.
Writing creates clarity. Clarity precedes genius.
He or she who has their health has a thousand dreams. He or she who does not has one.
What if the secret to sustainable success isn’t more hustle, but better habits?
In this episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” podcast, I sit down with Todd Durkin— internationally recognized strength and conditioning coach, motivational speaker, and best-selling author who’s trained legends like Drew Brees, Michael Chandler, Olympic medalists, and top entrepreneurs.
Todd’s reputation is elite, but what makes this conversation powerful is how real he gets about his own battles with burnout, injury, and rebuilding his mindset from the ground up.
After listening to Todd, you’ll walk away with: the 3-2-1 evening routine that fixes your sleep and sets up your mornings, the Productive Pause that turns chaos into clarity, and his WLAGs system— weekly reflections on wins, losses, ahas, and goals— that will change how you lead yourself and your team.
We also unpack how to reverse engineer a 10-year dream into daily action and why scheduling “blue-sky time” (strategic planning) and “mellow-yellow time” (true rest) is the real growth hack most men ignore.
But Todd’s not just talking theory, he’s put together his own October Challenge habits for you to take on.
Join us as Todd and other high performers— Rorke Denver, Dr. Jim Afremow, and Zach Even-esh— share challenges you can choose from, practice daily, and track with the like-minded people who are building momentum before the year ends.
