Thank you for listening to our Finding Brave show, ranked in the Top 100 Apple Career Podcasts!
“I don’t think that anybody should tell you how to run the race, until they’ve crossed the finish line. There is something about having a mess, but the biggest thing is that if you’re going to have this mess, you’ve got to cross the finish line before you make it a message.” – Anthony Trucks
Have you set out down a path to acquire things, attain skills and check off accomplishments, only to wind up overwhelmed, stuck or stagnant in the process? If so, you’re hardly the only one. Today’s Finding Brave guest reveals the most important tool to use to achieve your dreams, and that is your identity.
Anthony Trucks is a former foster child, NFL Football Player, competitor on American Ninja Warrior, author, life coach and entrepreneur. From foster care to the NFL, to successful business owner, Anthony has accomplished what statistics would say is impossible. As a speaker and success coach, Anthony teaches people how to design and build better lives and businesses by learning how to access the power of their identity to tap into their full potential and make shift happen.
After being given away into foster care at 3 years old, being adopted into an all white family at 14, losing his NFL career to injury and more, he learned how to shift at a very young age, and now his life mission is teaching others how to Make Shift Happen in their lives.
Anthony’s new book, Identity Shift: Upgrade How You Operate to Elevate Your Life, shares key secrets to success, but not in the gimmicky way that readers are used to. Innate within all of us lies the ability to shift into the identity that enables us to unlock a new level of power, perspective, passion, productivity and to be successful in life. This book is the concept and process of making an identity shift that will change your life.
In today’s episode, Anthony shares the ways that you can begin to shift your identity and how to address the internal messages that hold you back, in order to design a better life and business by tapping into your full potential.

- How the messages from our past that we internalize ultimately hold us back [4:55]
