The BOLT Podcast is a Personal Growth and Leadership Podcast

Real conversations with leaders, entrepreneurs, and high performers who chose growth over comfort and created sustained growth, performance, and change.

Why This Leadership & Personal Growth Podcast Exists

Most people don’t struggle because they lack knowledge. They struggle because they’re stuck. Stuck in old patterns. Stuck in outdated identities. Stuck doing what used to work, but doesn’t anymore. The BOLT Podcast exists to change that.

Hosted by keynote speaker and mental fitness coach Todd Bertsch, this leadership and personal growth podcast explores how to navigate change, strengthen resilience, and reignite your spark through intentional growth.

Each episode is designed to help you:

  • Break free from what’s holding you back
  • Build a resilient, growth-driven mindset
  • Strengthen your mental fitness under pressure
  • Take small, intentional actions that create real momentum

Transformation doesn’t happen all at once. It happens in the moments you choose growth over comfort.
