He's already decided he's too nice and will never meet a woman to date and have a family with. He gave his copy of 3% Man away. He doesn't seem to have an active social life, works on a farm and lives in the country and is mostly isolated. He gets nowhere on dating apps and doesn't appear to even try meeting women in person because of his bad attitude.If you have not read my book, “How To Be A 3% Man” yet, that would be a good starting place for you.

Today's guest is Dustin Oranchuk, Ph.D. Dustin is a sport scientist focused on sprinting biomechanics, speed development, and force production. Known for blending research with practical coaching insight, his work explores how isometrics, elasticity, and coordination shape high-performance sprinting and athletic movement. Isometric training is one of the “original” forms of strength training, and in the modern day has become one of the most popular areas of discussion and training methodology. Although the practice has exploded, it often lacks an understanding of physiology of adaptation with various methods. In this episode, Dustin explores the evolving world of isometric training, including the origins of isometrics. We discuss differences between pushing and holding contractions, tendon and neural adaptations, and modern applications in performance, rehab, and longevity. The conversation also dives into eccentric quasi-isometrics (EQIs), motivation and measurement challenges, and how coaches can intelligently integrate isometrics alongside plyometrics and traditional strength work.

Early isometric systems emphasized position specific strength over movement. Modern usage has expanded beyond barbell sports into rehab and longevity. 8:38 Modern Applications of Isometrics Isometrics are now widely used to “own positions” across joint angles. Longer duration holds are frequently used for tissue health and rehab. Training intent has shifted from peak strength toward durability and resilience. 9:52 Neural vs. Morphological Adaptations Short range, position specific isometrics bias neural intent and coordination. Long muscle length isometrics bias hypertrophy and tendon adaptation. Choose isometric type based on whether the goal is performance transfer or tissue change. 15:45 The Importance of Long Holds Tendons require relatively high intensity to meaningfully adapt. Long holds help reveal side to side asymmetries and control deficits. Extended holds build tolerance and confidence in vulnerable joint positions. 19:42 Combining Isometrics and Plyometrics Pairing isometrics and plyometrics can produce modest additive benefits. Combining methods may reduce fatigue compared to doing each alone. The interaction may enhance effort quality rather than purely physiological output. 39:22 Exploring Eccentric Quasi Isometrics EQIs combine a maximal hold followed by forced eccentric lengthening. They accumulate large time under tension and eccentric impulse. EQIs are powerful but mentally taxing and difficult to sustain long term. 47:10 Periodization and Isometric Training Use longer, lower intensity holds earlier in the offseason. Progress toward shorter, higher intensity, position specific isometrics near competition. Post game isometrics can support recovery without additional joint stress. 1:05:48 Future Research Directions Measurement technology has driven the resurgence of isometrics. Push versus hold distinctions are becoming a key research focus. Future work aims to clarify muscle and tendon behavior during isometric intent. 1:13:00 Closing Thoughts and Reflections Consistency with foundational exercises drives long term progress. Isometrics are tools, not replacements for dynamic training. Coaches should match the method to the goal, not the trend. Quotes from Dustin Oranchuk “Tendons tend to need a certain threshold of intensity to get meaningful adaptations.” “The maximal amount of force you can push is almost always more than what you can hold.” “Isometrics let you own positions rather than just pass through them.” “Long holds are a great diagnostic tool for finding asymmetries.” “EQIs are effective, but they are very hard to push hard and regularly.” “Use the best tool for the job rather than trying to blend everything together.” “Consistency beats constantly reinventing your training approach.” “Isometrics compress joint motion so other systems can recover and adapt.” “Intent matters just as much as the muscle action itself.” “You do not need complexity to get strong adaptations over time.” About Dustin Oranchuk Dustin Oranchuk, PhD, is a sport scientist specializing in speed development, biomechanics, and force production in sprinting and jumping. He holds a doctorate in sport science and has worked extensively with elite athletes across track and field, team sports, and high-performance environments. Dustin is widely known for his research-informed yet practical approach to sprint mechanics, isometric training, and elastic performance, bridging laboratory insights with real-world coaching application. Through consulting, research, and education, he helps coaches and athletes better understand how force, stiffness, and coordination influence maximal speed and performance.

I'm pulling back the curtain on exactly how I'm preparing to make 2026 my most profitable year in business, and it has nothing to do with working harder, cramming more clients into my calendar, or forcing myself to scale in ways that don't feel good. This year is about reclaiming my energy, my leadership, and my standards so I can build a business that actually feels fun again while also making more money than ever. In this first part, I'm sharing the real reason my growth has felt capped over the last few years, even though my skills, results, and offers are solid. I walk you through the identity shift I'm making to stop giving my power away through people pleasing, over-accommodating misaligned clients, and following industry rules that don't match with how I'm wired. If you've hit an income ceiling, feel scattered or resentful, or know you're ready to lead with more conviction and fewer apologies, this episode is for you. Timeline Highlights [00:00] Why 2026 will be my most profitable year without working harder, and why saying no is essential [01:07] The realization that changed everything: I was not stuck because of skill or offers, I was giving my power away [02:39] The three transformations I'm focusing on in 2026: identity, offer design, and messaging [05:16] How being good at everything led to over-delivering, scope creep, and exhaustion [11:07] Why responding and accommodating is not how I'm meant to lead or grow my business [14:14] The truth about evergreen enrollment and why I'm reintroducing cohort-based experiences [18:38] My new boundary around "desperation hires" and who I will and will not work with moving forward [26:27] How a past high-level peer experience impacted my confidence in positive and negative ways, and why I'm taking my power back for good [37:52] Designing my business and schedule around the life I actually have now as a mom of two [40:27] Why this is Part 1 and what's coming next with offer structure and messaging [42:27] Invitation into the Nourished Business Accelerator and who it is designed for Top 5 Quotes from the Episode "2026 is going to be my most profitable year ever, and it has nothing to do with working harder. It has everything to do with taking my power back." "Every single time I tried to accommodate instead of lead, I drained myself, dimmed my impact, and settled for less than what I'm actually capable of." "I was confusing being responsive with being of service, and that mistake was slowly exhausting me." "I finally had to accept that I can't rescue anyone, no matter how hard I work or how much I care." "Being happy, energized, and fully myself isn't selfish. It's actually what creates the best results for my clients."

Episode Summary: Is emotional intelligence the ultimate superpower? In this episode, we dive into how mastering your emotions can improve every relationship and professional interaction you have. We discuss why reacting instantly is almost always a mistake and share a 3-step action plan to help you control your impulses, understand your own feelings, and become a master communicator. Learn how to use the "Six-Second Rule," the power of a "Draft Folder Policy," and how to truly listen without just waiting for your turn to speak. Key Takeaways & Action Steps: · Why EQ Matters: Emotional intelligence isn't just about being "nice." It is about effectiveness. Dealing with humans requires a skill set that goes beyond logic. · Step 1: Master the Gap: o The Six-Second Rule: Anger causes a chemical flush in the brain that lasts about six seconds. If you can pause for just that long (drink water, take a breath), you can regain control. o The Draft Folder Policy: Never send an angry email or text immediately. Write it, save it, and sleep on it. You will almost always edit or delete it the next day. o Control the Space: You can't control the delayed flight, but you can control your reaction. "If the flight is delayed, there is something wrong with the plane, the pilot, or the weather—and you don't want to be on it anyway." · Step 2: Name it to Tame it: o Engage Logic: When you specifically name an emotion (e.g., "I feel disrespected" instead of just "I'm mad"), your brain shifts from the emotional center to the logic center, instantly lowering stress. o Separate Self from Feeling: Stop saying "I am angry." Start saying "I am experiencing anger." You are not the emotion; you are the vessel experiencing it. · Step 3: The Listener's Lens: o Stop Reloading: Most people aren't listening; they are just waiting for their turn to talk. Stop reloading your next argument and actually hear what is being said. o The Looping Technique: Before you respond, summarize what the other person said ("So what I hear you saying is..."). This validates them and clarifies any misunderstandings before they blow up. o Validate to Influence: You don't have to agree with someone to validate their feelings ("That sounds frustrating"). Connection precedes influence. Quotes from the Episode: · "Anger causes a chemical flush in your brain that lasts about six seconds. If you can pause, you win." · "Stop reloading. Stop waiting for your turn to speak and actually listen." · "You can't fire a behavior, but you can change it. Name it to tame it." · "If you only have short-term friends, look in the mirror. You might be the problem." Action Plan: 1. Practice the 6-Second Pause: Next time you feel triggered, count to six before doing anything. 2. Use the "Draft" Rule: Commit to waiting 24 hours before sending any difficult communication. 3. Try "Looping": In your next conversation, repeat back what you heard before you offer your opinion.

It's the LAST podcast of 2025 so we're going DEEP! Whether you've listened to all 459 episodes or you're brand new to The Todd Durkin IMPACT SHOW, this one is going to hit you right in the heart and soul. This episode wraps up our powerful 3-part Annual Strategic Plan series and it's not just about goals or calendars… it's about your LIFE. In this episode, I invite you to slow down, breathe, take in the essence of this season and really feel this conversation. In Part 3 today, we zoom way out and ask the BIG questions that truly shape who you're becoming as a person and the life & legacy that you're creating. You're going to love it! Here's what to expect in Episode 459: Why this isn't just about having a great year — but about crafting a life that aligns with how God created you to live. The 10 deepest life questions I ask myself — questions around purpose, mission, values, faith, healing, legacy, and IMPACT. How your "Big 5" for Life should drive every decision you're making right now (whether you realize it or not). The difference between running from something vs. running to something — and which one is better. Why you can't build a new future while dragging old wounds, fears, or limiting beliefs into it. How to LET-GO of the past and move into a new future in 2026 and beyond. A powerful challenge to examine your relationship with God, your body, your mind, and your spirit. What it truly means to live a life worth telling a story about — and how your life is already teaching others something extraordinary. Your Tombstone Statement. Why this should inspire you to live your best LIFE NOW!! This episode is meant to be experienced with an open heart, a willingness to be honest with yourself, and a journal in hand (or your Annual Strategic Plan). It's reflective. It's challenging. It's spiritual. It's empowering. And it's designed to help you step into 2026 — and beyond — aligned, intentional, and on-fire. If you're ready to stop drifting, start living even more on purpose, and answer the call on your life, this episode is for YOU. If this episode hits you deep, don't keep it to yourself. Please share Episode 459 on your social media, tag me on IG: @todddurkin, and let me know which of the 10 life questions spoke to you the most. Screenshot it, post it to your stories, or send it to a friend who needs this message right now.

Everyone is talking about goals right now. New habits. New plans. New resolutions. But what if the most important thing to design for the New Year is not your goals, but your brain? In this episode, Dr. Christopher K. Bray introduces a different way to think about the year ahead. Instead of focusing on what you want to accomplish in 2026, he explores how your daily pace, stress, attention, and recovery are quietly shaping the brain you will live with all year long. And why that matters more than most people realize. Drawing on neuroscience and real-world examples from high performers, this conversation breaks down how small, often invisible choices train your brain for urgency, clarity, motivation, or exhaustion. You will learn why most people struggle, not because they lack discipline, but because they are designing the wrong conditions for their brain. If you want a year where you feel more present, resilient, energized, and capable of pursuing what truly matters, this episode offers a powerful place to start. Not with another goal list, but with a simple shift in designing a brain for your success, happiness, and motivation in 2026. Quotes by Dr. Bray "Before you design your goals for 2026, design the brain you're going to live with all year." "The question is not whether your brain will change next year—the question is whether you're shaping it on purpose." "You're not just planning a year; you're shaping the brain that will live through it." "A brain that lives in constant urgency struggles to connect deeply, even during happy moments."
