Our identity can limit our potential, as it shapes how we approach challenges and define our goals. By shifting our identity, we can break free from these limitations and unlock new possibilities, paving the way for greater success and growth.

Today, we are joined by Anthony Trucks, a former NFL player turned transformational identity shift coach, former American Ninja Warrior, motivational speaker, host of the Aww Shift podcast, author of the book Identity Shift, and founder of Identity Shift Coaching.

Anthony Trucks is known for his transformative work in identity shifts and dark work. In this conversation, he reveals how he transforms lives by guiding others through identity shifts and the powerful concept of “dark work.” He shares personal stories from his childhood and how those experiences shaped his path.

Anthony also reflects on his journey into sports and how he navigated the most challenging moment in his marriage. Additionally, he discusses how repetition and consistency have been key to his success. Let’s tap into some of his wisdom.
