Let’s GO!!! This is not your average podcast episode. No fluff, no filler—just straight fire. This episode is one that’ll hit you in the heart AND light a fire under your feet. I sat down with my guy, NFL quarterback Brett Rypien—seven-year vet, newlywed, and one of the most mentally dialed-in athletes I’ve ever coached. We’ve trained together for 6 years now, and I can tell you this: he is one snap away from becoming a household name. Seriously.

Additionally, I have a MINDSET section where I expand on the “One Snap Away” mentality and how this applies to each and every one of us. Lastly, I close this week’s podcast with a personal share on my son Luke Durkin who just graduated from Davidson College (NC) over the weekend and who’s about to embark upon law school this Fall. I share my most proud moment over his 4-year career in school, football, and the ROTC. Whether you’re an athlete, a coach, a leader, or just someone hungry for passion, purpose, & IMPACT—you’re going to want to hear this episode!

In This Episode, We Hit:

• Mindset Mastery: What it means to “live in victory, not for victory.” Brett’s daily habits will challenge how you start your mornings—and why he ditched social media cold turkey.
• Faith in the Fire: Brett’s faith isn’t just something he talks about—it’s his anchor. He shares how God, prayer, and how Psalm 23 keep him steady through the NFL’s chaos.
• Grinding in the Shadows: We talk about what it’s like to fight for a job every year. No guaranteed money. No promises. Just hard work, sweat, and belief.
• The Rypien Cup: Yes, it’s real. A family golf battle royale that makes Ryder Cup look tame. You’ll love this story.
• NFL Brotherhood: Lessons from Russ, Cooper Kupp, Cortland Sutton—and why the guys who stick around the longest win with their mind, not just their arm.
• My take on why backups often make the BEST coaches… and why Brett is destined for greatness beyond football.
• The “ONE SNAP AWAY” mentality.
• My personal section filled with pride & joy as my oldest son Luke Durkin just graduated from college and I share some highlights, lowlights, and what I’m most proud of over his 4-year career.
• PLUS: The Brett Rypien Jump Rope Challenge is officially ON. Can you hit 900 straight? Bring it on!!

This episode is raw. It’s real. It’s a masterclass in mindset, faith, and perseverance. Hit play. Take notes. Share this with someone who needs a little light today. And keep your eyes on #11 in Minnesota—Brett Rypien is one snap away. Let’s GO!

FLIP. THE. SWITCH. That’s right — today’s not just another day… it’s your turnaround day. In this episode, I’m coming in HOT with a soul-stirring solo message and then diving into some deep, raw, and powerful Q&A from our recent Mastermind Retreat right here in San Diego. This one is packed with FIRE and practical tools to help you level up in business, leadership, and LIFE.

We kick it off with a 7-part “Get Your Mind Right” power talk to help you flip the switch in whatever season you’re in — whether you're thriving or just trying to stay afloat. I’m dropping dimes on mindset, momentum, and what it really takes to create lasting transformation.

Then, I answer 8 big questions straight from our Mastermind family — covering everything from building a career in fitness, to staying grounded during turbulent times, to growing a business with purpose and soul. I even share a few things I’m most excited about this year (hint: Montana… Mastermind… IXP… let’s go!).

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How to flip the switch when you’re stuck, stagnant, or seeking a breakthrough
• The 7 steps to create momentum and turn around ANY season of life
• How failure is not a loss… it’s a lesson
• Why discipline = freedom (yep, even when you don’t feel like it)
• The habits that drive high performance and deep fulfillment
• How to compartmentalize your busy life and still stay grounded
• Why training is my divine uniqueness (and how you can find yours)
• The #1 mindset shift for launching your dream biz
• 8 people ask awesome questions for the Q&A
• Why being in the right room is everything (join us at a retreat!)

A Personal Note:
This one hits different. It's been a wild season — celebrating my mom’s life one week and pouring into our retreat community the next. That dichotomy of life reminded me: there’s no time to waste. Today’s the day. Flip the switch. Step into your light. And LET’S GO!
