About This Podcast

The Evolving Potential Podcast is for people who are hungry for growth, striving for excellence, and committed to reaching their highest potential. Each week we will interview an expert, professional athlete, renowned coach, entrepreneur, or thought leader to discuss human potential. Guests are or are working with high performers and are able to share their habits, practices, and mindset for personal development and performance enhancement. The host, Todd Smith, is a former fat kid turned personal trainer, nutrition coach, and bodybuilder who has spent years diving deep into the world of behavior change and peak performance. He has obtained certifications in NLP, hypnosis, timeline therapy, precision nutrition, NASM, mental performance mastery, and training for warriors. In addition, Todd has obtained a bachelor's in sports and performance psychology and is currently working towards a master's degree in sociology and education. This podcast serves as a platform to share ideas about what it means to be human, how we can live our best lives, how to perform under pressure, how to relieve stress, change identity, chase our dreams, overcome adversity, develop resilience, and much much more.
