Key Takeaways:  

• Dark work is the work you do in the dark that allows you to shine in the light. It’s how you optimize your identity for peak performance. [03:45] 

• “What you create, the process creates you.” ~Anthony Trucks [04:13]

• You cannot attain or sustain any goal or vision in life that is above your current identity. [05:17]

• “Your identity is who you are when you are not thinking about who you are.” ~Anthony Trucks [05:28]

• All of us will find something difficult at first, but the goal makes it hard not to pursue. [09:24]

• “You don’t create the goal by looking at other people; you set your own scale.” ~Anthony Trucks [10:20]

• The higher people climb on the totem pole and identify as great people, the less likely they are to take on new things that might diminish their sense of awesomeness. [18:24]

• “The more we give to something, the more return we desire.” ~Anthony Trucks [20:38]

• “Don’t let anyone tell you what you can’t do; prove to them that you can do it.” [26:27]

• Sometimes, our job is not to water the seed but just to plant it. Other times, our job is not even to plant the seed; it’s to introduce them to someone who inspires us and can plant it. [47:21]

• There are people who will speak life into you, and when they do, you should embrace it and try to live by it, if possible.[51:40]
