Have you ever felt like you're doing all the "right" things—building your career, chasing success, checking the boxes—yet still feel like something is missing? If so, this episode is going to hit you right between the eyes and straight into your heart. This week on The Todd Durkin IMPACT Show, I sit down with a young man I've been business/life coaching in my Mastermind for a while. Brady Hutchins is a coach, author, and an overall IMPACT-maker with a great story. Brady recently released his new book, The God Within: Remembering Who You Are in a World That Tells You Who to Be, and in this episode, we unpack what it truly means to reconnect with your authentic self in a world constantly pulling you toward external validation.

Brady shares his deeply personal story of navigating unimaginable adversity after a tragic car accident involving his father and younger brother, the lessons he learned from being forced to grow up fast, and how those experiences ultimately shaped his life's purpose. We also dive into the panic attack that became his wake-up call in 2022—a moment that forced him to examine whether he was living in alignment with who he truly was. Through powerful insights on identity, purpose, faith, leadership, personal growth, and the difference between living from fear versus living from love, this conversation will challenge you to stop looking outside yourself for answers and start reconnecting with the greatness that already exists within.

Whether you're a high performer, entrepreneur, athlete, coach, parent, or simply someone searching for deeper meaning and fulfillment, this episode will inspire you to remember who you are and step into your true calling.
