Conversations with Todd
Real Conversations. Real Stories. Real Growth.
Every story leaves a mark. In these interviews, I share the challenges, turning points, and lessons that continue to influence how I lead, grow, and help others navigate change.
The Conversations That Shaped My Journey
Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to join podcasts and interviews with leaders, authors, entrepreneurs, coaches, and change-makers from around the world.
While many people know me as a keynote speaker, entrepreneur, mental fitness coach, and host of The BOLT Podcast, these conversations offer something different. They provide a deeper look into the experiences, challenges, lessons, and mindset shifts that have shaped my journey.
We explore leadership, personal growth, resilience, curiosity, mental fitness, entrepreneurship, and what it truly means to navigate change without losing yourself in the process.
If you’re considering bringing me in as a speaker, exploring coaching, or simply want to get to know me beyond the bio, this is a great place to start.
Why These Conversations Matter
Behind every keynote, workshop, and coaching session is a story. These interviews go beyond frameworks and strategies. They explore the moments that shaped my perspective on leadership, the lessons learned through adversity, the mindset shifts that changed my life, and the practices I continue to use to stay grounded, curious, and growth-focused.
Throughout these conversations, you’ll hear stories about:
