Today we'll be learning from Anthony Trucks, a former NFL player turned performance coach who helps people identify the shift they need to make in order to create the life that they deserve.

After an injury cut Anthony's time in the NFL short, he found himself at a breaking point in his business, his marriage, and even his will to live. In today's episode, Anthony shares the story of his breaking point, and what he did to transform his identity.

Key takeaways:

  • The road up from rock bottom was not a short journey.
  • Years of avoidance before accepting responsibility and doing "dark work."
  • How to change your identity so you can change your life.
  • The motivation of legacy.
