She helps clients heal from past wounds, shift their mindset, and step into a more confident, self-led life.Hilary has over 40 years of life and professional experience working as a Transformational Mentor, Trauma Coach, Motivational Speaker, as well as a dynamic Keynote Presenter committed to helping people rebuild, rise, and truly flourish.Hilary would love for you to connect!

EPISODE 761 - Andy Vargo - Uber Stories and Owning Your Awkward - Discovering Your True Self and Rewriting Your StoryIn this engaging episode, Andy Vargo joins from Tacoma, Washington—home to surprises like Almond Roca, the origins of Mars bars, and inspiration for Frank Herbert's Dune from the local Asarco smelter plant. Andy shares his nonlinear path to authorship, sparked by childhood encouragement but paused for decades amid family life, until divorce and job loss reignited his passion. He pivoted from unfinished projects like The Awkward Interview to self-publishing personal stories that became his breakthrough.Andy demystifies writing, urging aspiring authors to publish without fear of rejection—someone will connect with your unique voice, even if it feels unoriginal. He rewrote his LinkedIn narrative to link grocery management coaching and sales experience to his current role as a motivational speaker and life coach, framing past jobs as foundational skills. His core books, Own Your Awkward: Thoughts (60 days of mindset shifts with reflection prompts, like reframing loneliness in a cafe) and Own Your Awkward: Life Changes (worksheets for navigating transitions), plus a series of five guided journals born from his rock-bottom days, emphasize activity over passive reading. He also entertains with OneDrive Stands, tales from 5,000 rideshare rides turned into a one-man improv show using audience names.At 40, Andy embraced his true self post-divorce, realizing faking normalcy depleted his energy and held him back from peak performance. His mission: lean into insecurities—be it body image, quirks like pineapple pizza, or deeper differences—as superpowers that foster authenticity and connection. This fuels his coaching for speakers, entrepreneurs, and leaders, where he mirrors passions (e.g., skateboarding artistry into business) and breaks paths into manageable wins. Owning awkward builds trust; naming self-consciousness, like bedhead nerves, sparks rapport over polished perfection. Change is neutral, he stresses—not good or bad until hindsight reveals it—and fears often mislabel (e.g., "heights" is really "landing").Key Takeaway: Own your awkward not despite it, but because of it—turn what holds you back into your greatest strength for authentic success and deeper relationships. Visit awkwardcareer.com for Andy's books, podcast, free worksheet, and more. https://awkwardcareer.com/Motivational Speaker and Life Coach Who Ignites Change.You're tired of the polished talk about “authenticity” that doesn't get real results. I skip the fluff and dive into what makes us human: the awkward, relatable quirks that create real connection and drive real change. It's bold. It's different. It's Awkward.

Outstanding Life with the Motivational Cowboy

Outstanding Life Podcast - Break the Mold - Live from HPX 2026 What happens when you stop worrying about fitting in and start having the courage to stand out? Recorded live at the 2026 High Performance Expo (HPX), this episode of the OUTSTANDING Life Podcast, Break the Mold, brings together three unique personalities who aren't afraid to be themselves, follow their passions, and do things differently. Johnny D sits down with Alan Johnson, who brings honest, unfiltered Corvette content to the community. No paid placements. No manufactured hype. Just real-world experience and opinions from someone who truly lives and breathes Corvettes. Then there's Christina Shuler, a passionate car enthusiast and owner of the first bedazzled C8 Corvette. Known as @glamvette on Instagram, Christina took an already incredible car and made it unmistakably her own, proving there's nothing wrong with standing out from the crowd. Rounding out the conversation is Dee Courtwright, @cars_andclouds on Instagram, a veteran's daughter, boy mom, autism advocate, and car enthusiast who brings heart, purpose, and her own perspective to the automotive community. Three people. Three completely different stories. One common thread: they aren't afraid to break the mold. This conversation is about more than cars. It's about authenticity, passion, family, advocacy, individuality, and having the confidence to show up in this world as yourself. Whether you're a Corvette enthusiast or you've never been to a car show in your life, there's something in this conversation for you. Because an OUTSTANDING Life isn't built by trying to become everyone else, it's built by having the courage to become more of who YOU are. "You weren't put here to fit someone else's mold.

For the final episode of our three-part Durkin family trilogy, I'm sitting down with my youngest child, McKenna Durkin, just before she leaves home to begin a brand-new chapter at High Point University (NC). This conversation is special—not only because I get to hear directly from McKenna about her dreams, goals, fears, and excitement for college and Division I lacrosse, but because we also get to flip the script and let her interview me. We talk about the value of hard work, discipline, mindset, controlling the controllables, limiting distractions, the power of networking, and what it really means to believe in yourself when you're stepping into something bigger than anything you've experienced before. As a Dad, this episode is a reminder that raising kids is ultimately about preparing them to spread their wings, chase their dreams, and become who they were created to be. In This Episode, You'll Hear: McKenna's move to High Point University and why she's so excited for this next chapter. What it takes to prepare for the next level of Division I lacrosse—and why "controlling the controllables" matters. The training, recovery, nutrition, sleep, and discipline McKenna has prioritized this summer. Why your environment matters and how the people and places around you can shape who you become. McKenna's approach to nutrition, including whole foods, protein, fruits, vegetables, and enjoying a healthy sweet treat. Why McKenna is choosing to study Exercise Science and her current dream of becoming a physician's assistant. The importance of using college as a time to explore, learn, and discover what you truly love to do. McKenna's biggest excitement—and biggest challenges—as she prepares to leave home and figure things out on her own. Her dreams for the future, including building a career she loves and someday having a lake house. Why some of the best family memories aren't the big trips, but the ordinary moments spent together. The Durkin family's special connection to Whitefish, Montana, and the importance of unplugging, slowing down, and creating quality family time. McKenna flipping the script and asking me some powerful questions—including the one lesson he hopes she has learned from watching me. Why hard work, grit, discipline, and believing in yourself are essential to reaching your goals. How to handle self-doubt when you're surrounded by people who are talented, accomplished, and competing at a high level. The power of focusing on the process instead of putting pressure on yourself to achieve a specific result. Todd's perspective on raising a daughter and the unique bond, love, pride, and protection that comes with being a dad to a girl. Why limiting distractions—especially social media—is critical when you're trying to accomplish something meaningful. The incredible power of networking and why "your network is your net worth." Todd's advice for McKenna as she heads off to college: come home, stay connected, keep getting better, and enjoy the process. A powerful reminder from Proverbs 22 about training a child in the way they should go—and then giving them the freedom to grow and spread their wings. There's something incredibly powerful about watching your kids grow up, develop their own dreams, and step into a future you know you can't completely control. McKenna is about to leave the nest, and while there's certainly some emotion that comes with that, there's also an incredible amount of pride and excitement. My job as a father has never been to create a life for my kids—it's been to equip them with the values, discipline, faith, work ethic, and confidence to go create their own. McKenna, I am so proud of you. Go chase the dream. Go compete. Go learn. Go build relationships. Go get better every single day. And most importantly, enjoy the PROCESS of becoming the woman you're meant to be. The next chapter is just beginning—and I can't wait to watch you spread your wings and create your IMPACT.

Outstanding Life with the Motivational Cowboy

What happens when experience, entrepreneurship, and the next generation of motorsports all come together at one table? Recorded live at the 2026 High Performance Expo (HPX), this episode of the Outstanding Life Podcast brings together three incredible women with three very different stories, all connected by a passion for motorsports and the courage to chase what's next. Johnny D sits down with Laura Wontrop Klauser, who served as Sports Car Racing Program Manager for General Motors, overseeing the Cadillac and Corvette racing programs. Now, Laura is betting on herself, stepping into a new chapter as her own boss and launching a company as a motorsports advisor. Joining the conversation is 16-year-old aspiring race car driver Bella Bowman, whose dreams extend beyond the driver's seat into social media and marketing, along with her mom, Erin Bowman, a Motorsports Luxury Destination Developer who understands the business, lifestyle, and opportunities surrounding the sport. From leading major racing programs to starting over as an entrepreneur, from a young woman dreaming of a future behind the wheel to a mom helping build opportunities in the motorsports world, this conversation is about much more than racing. It's about dreaming big, taking chances, reinventing yourself, supporting the next generation, and refusing to put an expiration date on your goals. Three women. Three different journeys. One shared passion. And one OUTSTANDING conversation you don't want to miss. Because sometimes the next chapter of your life doesn't begin when you're ready, it begins when you're brave enough to start. Keep living the OUTSTANDING Life.

What a special month this has been thus far! Last week, you got to meet my oldest son, Luke. This week, I'm sitting down with my middle son, Brady Durkin, and I can't wait for you to hear this conversation. Brady is entering his senior year at High Point University (NC), pursuing his passion for media production, film, and storytelling. But this episode goes way beyond cameras, movies, and books. It's about purpose. It's about discipline. It's about creating something that matters. I's about learning to stay present while chasing big dreams. As Melanie and I prepare to become empty nesters, these conversations with my kids have become even more meaningful, and I pray they encourage you as much as they've inspired me. In true IMPACT SHOW podcast fashion, we flip the script halfway through the episode, and Brady turns the microphone around to interview me with some deep, thought-provoking questions. Let's just say...he definitely didn't go easy on his dad! In this episode, you'll hear: Why Brady believes stories have the power to change lives How and why he's pursuing a career in film production and creative storytelling The incredible experience of working behind the scenes on the upcoming Christmas film All That Glitters at Christmas Lessons learned from director Paul Joyner about servant leadership and caring for people The story behind Brady's first novel, Lesser, and what inspired him to write over 70,000 words while balancing college life Why consistency—not perfection—is the key to accomplishing big dreams The importance of staying present instead of constantly worrying about the future How discipline is built one day, one decision, and one small win at a time Brady's vision for graduate school, filmmaking, and creating stories that leave a lasting impact Our favorite family memories—from Disneyland to Europe—and why those moments matter more than ever Brady's honest questions for me about regrets, work-life balance, coaching, leadership, and dreaming big My advice for young leaders about networking, taking action, and putting your work out into the world before it's "perfect" Why your purpose is discovered by doing—not waiting One of the things I admire most about Brady is that he's never been afraid to walk his own path.

This month, I'm bringing my family onto the IMPACT SHOW Podcast and we're kicking it off with my oldest son, Luke Durkin. At 23 years old, Luke just completed his first year in law school at the University of South Carolina, after he had a successful 4-year career as a student-athlete at Davidson College (NC) and participated as an ROTC (Army) student. To say he is building a life rooted in discipline, faith, purpose, and hard work is an understatement. As we prepare to head to Canton, Ohio, this week for Drew Brees' NFL Hall of Fame induction, Luke and I sat down for one of the deeper conversations we've had in a long time. We talk about what it takes to stay disciplined, how adversity shapes your future, why being present matters more than chasing "what's next." We then turn the tables when Luke interviews me about IMPACT-X Performance, becoming an empty nester, and the lessons I'd give my 23-year-old self. Whether you're a parent, athlete, student, entrepreneur, or simply someone striving to become your best, I hope this conversation is going to encourage you, challenge you, and inspire you. In this episode, you'll hear: Why discipline—not motivation—is the foundation for long-term success. The biggest lessons Luke learned during his first year of law school. How football prepared him for life, leadership, and handling adversity. Why staying present is one of the greatest challenges in today's world. How jiu-jitsu has become a powerful mental reset and stress reliever for Luke. The importance of surrounding yourself with people who push you to grow. What setbacks in college football taught Luke about finding his true calling. Why your hardest seasons often become the greatest preparation for your future. A behind-the-scenes look at building IMPACT-X Performance from the ground up. The difference between recreating success and creating something even greater. My thoughts on becoming an empty nester and embracing life's next chapter. The advice I'd give every young person—and my 23-year-old self—about time, purpose, and living with intention. Why family, faith, and meaningful relationships will always matter more than achievement alone. This conversation reminded me that success isn't just measured by titles, careers, or accomplishments. It's measured by the person you're becoming along the way. Watching Luke grow into the man he is today has been one of the greatest blessings of my life and I hope this episode reminds you to embrace your own journey, stay present, keep showing up with discipline, and never lose sight of what matters most. Take a moment today to appreciate the people in your life, invest in the relationships that matter, and continue becoming the person God has called you to be. If this episode encourages you, please share it with a family member, colleague, co-worker, or friend who needs it.

Saints in San Diego--6 Championship Lessons from the New Orleans Saints That Apply to Your Life | Ep. 489

Todd Durkin IMPACT Show

Last week was one I'll never forget. We had the privilege of hosting the New Orleans Saints here at IMPACT-X Performance in San Diego for an incredible week of training, recovery, fieldwork, and brotherhood. Watching these young men prepare for an NFL season reminded me of something that applies to every single one of us—whether you're an athlete, entrepreneur, coach, parent, leader, or simply someone committed to becoming your best…it takes meticulous effort, coaching, hard-work, attention to detail, and big aspirations and visions to attain your wildest dreams. So here's my question to you: What if the difference between where you are today and where you're meant to be isn't more talent...but a better mindset, greater discipline, even more attention to the little things, and having the right environment and the right coaching around you to help you attain your dreams? Here's the truth: Greatness isn't reserved just for the gifted. It's earned in the habits, the details, the preparation, and the mindset you bring every single day. So you gotta bring it! Without further ado, let's dive into what was an unforgettable week with the Saints last week. In this episode, you'll learn: Why there is always another level, no matter how successful or experienced you are. How your body language and engagement reveal your leadership before you ever say a word. Why attention to detail separates good from truly great—and how the little things build championship cultures. The critical role recovery plays in sustaining high performance, energy, and longevity and what are some of the top recovery protocols. Why you can only do so much physical work—and how visualization, preparation, and mental reps create elite performers. Why mindset matters more than ever and practical ways to "Get Your Mind Right" when life tries to knock you off course. How the habits of NFL athletes can directly impact your business, career, relationships, leadership, and everyday life. Why surrounding yourself with the right people can give you the "juice" you need to keep going when the battle gets hard. No matter what season you're in, I hope one of these lessons hits you exactly where you need it. Maybe it's a reminder to pay more attention to the details. Maybe it's prioritizing your recovery. Maybe it's simply choosing to show up with better energy. Or maybe it's hearing, once again, that your battle isn't happening to you—it's preparing you for the blessing that's on the other side. And if nothing else, I believe you're going to get some "juice" from this episode. So enjoy it! If today's episode encouraged you, inspired you, or challenged you to raise your standard, would you do me a favor? Please subscribe to the podcast, leave a 5-star review, and share this episode with someone who needs these lessons today.

He breaks down the mind-numbing boredom interrupted by moments of sheer terror, the devastating toll of repeated trauma (hundreds of critical incidents vs. the average person's 2–4 in a lifetime), toxic leadership, department politics, and the thin blue line that often feels more like a fracture.On July 10, 2013, everything changed during a domestic dispute call in Roseland, NJ.

What followed was a brutal battle with PTSD, alcoholism, suicidal ideation, multiple suicide attempts, and eventual forced retirement in 2014.The surprising realities of police work and bad leadership.How the job can break even the strongest officers.His journey through darkness, rehab, therapy, and the rediscovery of faith.The loss of his best friend and podcast co-host, Mike Failace, to suicide.Lessons on mental health, resilience, vulnerability, and why "corrective, not punitive" still matters.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Wendell Graham. A stroke survivor, entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and founder of Slight Edge Consulting, joins Rushion McDonald to share a deeply personal and powerful story of survival, resilience, and purpose-driven entrepreneurship. Graham recounts two life-altering experiences: Surviving a fatal Amtrak train crash in which the person who took his place died, causing years of survivor’s remorse. Suffering an anaphylactic shock and stroke in 2024, which temporarily robbed him of speech, memory, mobility, and independence. Rather than allowing these moments to define him negatively, Graham reframed them as assignments—calling him to live intentionally, help others overcome “the hump,” and use his lived experience as intellectual property to serve, coach, and motivate people through adversity, business challenges, fear, and self-doubt. The interview blends emotional storytelling with practical insights into personal growth, sales, mindset, recovery, faith, and entrepreneurship. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: Inspire listeners to persevere through trauma, loss, and setbacks. Demonstrate how adversity can become purpose and value, not limitation. Show how lived experience translates into income and impact, especially for entrepreneurs. Encourage patience during recovery, whether from health issues, career loss, or personal failure. Promote Slight Edge Consulting as a resource for individuals stuck at the “15%” holding them back. Key Takeaways 1. Survival Creates Responsibility After narrowly avoiding the Amtrak crash that killed 47 people, Graham vowed not to waste his life and to live with intention. Takeaway: Survival is not luck—it’s an assignment. 2. Trauma Is Real, but It Can Be Transformed Graham openly discusses survivor’s remorse, PTSD, fear, discouragement, and self-doubt—especially after his stroke. Takeaway: Healing is messy, slow, and honest—but possible. 3. Recovery Requires Patience With Yourself Following his stroke, Graham had to relearn how to speak, walk, and think clearly. Progress came through patience, humility, and repetition. Takeaway: Every recovery has its own timeline—don’t rush the process. 4. Money Is a Byproduct of Action and Value Graham explains that income flows from prior action, knowledge, and intellectual property—not the other way around. Takeaway: Focus on value first; money follows. 5. Most People Already Have 85% of What They Need Through Slight Edge Consulting, Graham helps clients identify and fix the missing 15%—mindset, confidence, access, skills, or strategy. Takeaway: You’re closer to success than you think. 6. Sales Is the Transfer of Feeling Sales isn’t pressure or manipulation—it’s enthusiasm, belief, and confidence communicated clearly. Takeaway: If you don’t believe in what you’re selling, no one else will. 7. Fear Grows When You Stand Still Standing at the “hump” makes it feel larger. Movement shrinks fear. Takeaway: Action reduces intimidation. 8. Give Yourself Permission to Be Great Too many people wait for validation, approval, or perfect timing that never comes. Takeaway: The cavalry is not coming—now is your time. Notable Quotes On surviving tragedy: “I made a vow that I was not going to be irresponsible with the time that I have left.” On the stroke and recovery: “Physically, it was like being locked inside of your body.” On honesty in healing: “We tell the success story, but what about the middle?” On patience: “We have to be patient with ourselves in any recovery process.” On mindset and entrepreneurship: “Money is only the byproduct of something.” On personal growth: “Most people have 85% of what they need—it’s the 15% that’s holding them back.” On sales: “Selling is nothing more than transferring feeling.” On fear and permission: “Give yourself permission to be great.
