With the NFL football season just around the corner and college football having just kicked off (kind of), I have a very special guest today. Luis Perez is a guy I’ve trained for a few years now, and he has one of the most fascinating stories you will ever hear. He did NOT play high school football, he won the Harlon Hill Trophy (Heisman Trophy for D2), and is now knocking on the doors of the NFL.

This episode is a must-listen for all athletes, kids, parents, coaches, sports fans, entrepreneurs, and high-performers who have a dream and have to overcome the odds. He went from 9th on the depth chart in college to a standout starter. And the rest is history. 

If this episode doesn’t give you chills, check your pulse. And when you’re all done, please be sure to share the episode with someone who needs a little extra inspiration and motivation. Enjoy the show, and please be sure to tag us on your social media.  IG/Twitter:  @ToddDurkin@perezluisqb

Today’s episode is a special one as it’s kind of like MindRight Maniac meets the IMPACT Show! As NFL training camps begin around the League, this was our last workout on the field after months of the craziest, most bizarre off-season in my 20+ year career. Today, we feature Drew Brees, Chase Daniel, and Luis Perez as they make final preparations for their upcoming season.

There are three parts to today’s show. Part 1 is on my drive over to the football field as I reflect on what very well may be my last training session EVER with 20-year NFL veteran QB Drew Brees. And I talk about what it means to “Chase Greatness.”

Part 2 is “in the huddle” as you will literally be in the huddle with us before, during, and after our training session on the field. 

Part 3 is post-session interviews with Brees, Daniel, and Perez as they reflect on their off-season training and talk about “Chasing Greatness.” Additionally, they give wisdom to the kiddos who have recently had their fall sports seasons delayed or canceled to make sure their minds are right!

Folks, I always said I was going to keep the IMPACT Show real. It doesn’t get any more real than this. I think you’re going to enjoy coming along for the drive with me and stepping into the huddle. Buckle-up your chinstrap, put on your helmet, lace up your cleats, and get ready to CHASE GREATNESS!

If you are a football fan and can’t wait for the season to start, you will love this episode. Please share it on your social media or text the episode link to 5-friends who are NFL friends. Likewise, make sure your kiddos listen to this one!

In episode 232 we welcome our guest, Luis Perez, Founder of Remoov. In today’s episode, we’re getting organized. We’re talking about taking the work off your hands of removing all of that unwanted clutter.

We discuss the idea that was prompted by the observation of inefficiency in the college move-in, move-out process. Luis took it upon himself to store outgoing students’ items over the summer, and sell them to incoming students in the fall. He found a market and traction, and today he’s running and growing this model with Remoov. We discuss operations and trying to find efficiency in this capital intensive business through technology and innovative processes.

We get into the logistics of entering new markets and targeting demographics such as baby-boomers that are likely to be downsizing. We talk about how the COVID pandemic has impacted the business, and the ‘on-your-feet’ thinking that led to Remoov opportunistically connecting with downsizing businesses.

All this and more in episode 232 with Luis Perez.

The public health crisis surrounding COVID-19 has led to school closures across the country, creating a need to transition to online learning. In this special season of Ed Influencers, we will talk to experts who are actively helping schools plan for and cope with the impact of longterm closures. School closures are creating challenges for all students and families, but especially for our most vulnerable student populations. In this episode, we're going to learn from Dr. Luis Perez, Technical Assistance Specialist at the National Center on Accessible Educational Materials, about how we can ensure equitable learning during the COVID-19 global pandemic. 

In this episode we get the amazing chance to sit down and talk to Luis Perez a former NFL QB for the LA Rams, Eagles, and Lions. We talk about his growing up here in San Diego CA where he attended Southwestern Collage and become the starting QB after coming in as a walk on. We get a chance to hear his incredible journey and how if you set your mind to a goal, with hard work and dedication you might be able to adhesive it. A true inspiration to many come check out our conversation with Luis Perez.
