“A lot of the actions that we have to take to be successful aren’t ones that you feel like taking.” Anthony Truck’s entire life has been about beating the odds and redefining what’s possible given the cards he was dealt with. Age just three, Anthony ended up in the foster care system. Given his background, he shouldn’t have achieved the things he did. It shouldn’t have been possible for him to become an NFL athlete or a successful entrepreneur. But Anthony wasn’t willing to settle. Instead, he figured out how to fight for himself and make success his second nature. His path has been far from easy - especially in his post-NFL days when he lost a lot of the material success he achieved. But with the help of borrowed joy and the resilience to beat the odds, Anthony survived rock bottom to become an international speaker, author, and shift coach. He was even the first former NFL athlete to hit a buzzer on NBC’s American Ninja Warrior. In this powerful episode, Anthony reveals how he fought for his identity and weathered life’s storms, to become the inspirational man he is today.  “Who you are is who you are when you aren’t thinking about who you are.” In this episode, Anthony and I talk about: Anthony’s “Roots & Fruits” analogy - and why you’re the tree, NOT the fruit the tree produces. Why emotional control is essential if you want to weather life’s storms. How to create safe containers so you can manage curveballs. What to do and ask when you’re emotionally triggered. The difference between a ‘go’ identity and a ‘slow’ identity. Why identity is an anchor - and how you can architect yours to lay down strong roots. The first time Anthony fought for himself. How borrowed joy helped Anthony push off suicidal thoughts when he hit rock bottom. How to use borrowed thoughts to help you grow.  If you’re ready to defeat the odds and create a 1% life for yourself, this is the episode for you. Check it out. “At the end of the day, authenticity for a human is just saying, "I’m going to accept exactly who I am.” How to contact www.AnthonyTrucks.comfacebook.com/anthonytruckshttps://www.instagram.com/anthonytruckshttps://www.twitter.com/anthonytrucksWe thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

“The word "art," to me, is about owning my power as a creative channel in the world.” It’s not unusual for spiritual entrepreneurs to experience a significant shift in their life.

“No matter how far or fast you fall, if you’ve helped enough people, you’re always going to come out on top.” Kris Dehnert used to be an opportunist. He was ‘good enough’ to crush a wide range of projects and this skill led him to found eight different businesses in a variety of verticals including fitness, real estate, eCommerce and consulting. Kris made a lot of money driven by the ‘lie’ that he was doing it for the family. Until the day he nearly died... The year was 2015 and his first daughter was just a few months old. The abdominal pain was so intense, Kris was forced to take refuge on the floor of a Starbucks restroom. But instead of visiting the hospital, Kris decided to return home, take some pills, and carry on. After all, he had meetings booked and deals to close.  When the pain didn’t subside after a few days, Kris did go to hospital - and the prognosis wasn’t good. He needed emergency surgery and was given a 30% chance of surviving. Post surgery, Kris had time to reflect on his choices. This near life-ending experience forced Kris to reassess everything in his life. He learned to say no, he overhauled his priorities, and he figured out how to build a business and a life by design.  “Reality is negotiable.” Fast-forward to January 2020, and Kris just had his second baby - but his life is unrecognisable. He’s still a hustler, but he only works on meaningful projects that he loves - such as Dugout Mugs, which is currently experiencing exponential growth. Kris’s story is an inspiration. He’s proof that when you know your why, anything is possible. Check out some of the things Kris and I discuss in this powerful episode: How does being a father make you a better entrepreneur?How do you escape the trap of equating busy with valuable? Why you must remove yourself from the things you’re not good at. The power of saying NO. The blessings that show up when you align yourself back on your path. The full story of how Kris nearly died. Why it’s OK to not finish the books you start. The story behind the exponential growth of Dugout Mugs. And more...“Make the most important things, the most important things as often as you can.” How to contact Check out https://dugoutmugs.com/Contact Kris Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/itsjustkris/We thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

“Presence gives us the capacity to experience what we’re experiencing, but with an internal container that can hold that experience in such a way that we aren’t completely overwhelmed or burdened by it.” I’ve had a long-held goal to interview someone like today’s guest for the podcast. An individual who spent time living in isolation as a monk while living inside the realities of chaos in today’s fast-paced world. So when I met my good friend Cory Muscara a year ago, it felt like divine timing! Cory is an international speaker and teacher on the topics of mindfulness and positive psychology - a journey that began with a desire to impress a girl. This ‘hippy’ college girlfriend sparked Cory’s interest in meditation. After their relationship broke down, Cory’s pain called him to take meditation more seriously. In turn, he spent six months in silence living as a monk in Burma where he’d meditated for over 14 hours a day. As a result of this experience, Cory is now in a beautiful position where he can bridge the gap between monk-like enlightenment - and those of us seeking truth amongst the triggers and challenges of everyday life. A frequent guest on the Dr. Oz show and an instructor of positive psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, Cory’s on a mission to help people embody the principles of mindfulness in a practical and relatable way. His meditations have been heard more than 10 million times in over 50 countries, and he lives on Long Island where he offers workshops and retreats.Cory is also the new author of Stop Missing Your Life. How To Be Deeply Present In An Unpresent World. In this book, Cory offers a roadmap that will help you reconnect with your life in a beautiful way. “The more we take care of each moment as it is, the more we actually take care of the next moment and subsequently the future.” Our conversation gets very meta, but it’s also highly practical. In this deep conversation, Cory explains how to create presence. A state when you experience the fullness of yourself - without shutting down, turning away, or numbing the sensations of the moment. In this episode, you’ll discover: What is presence - and how to deepen into it. Why curiosity is the opposite of fear. What Cory learned about life in a Bermese monastery. How to build a better relationship with the voice inside you. What is intuition? The pebble method that guides you to know what to do at any moment. Why being OK with not being yourself is the ultimate expression of self-love. The problem with trying to transcend the ego before you’ve befriended it.The “Good luck, bad luck - who knows...” parable for a better life. And more…I had so much fun with Cory and I know you’ll love this episode too. Check out this episode now and discover simple secrets for a more fulfilling life. “The opposite of fear is actually curiosity.” How to contact Get Cory’s New Book here: https://stopmissingyourlife.com/www.corymuscara.comwww.facebook.com/corymuscarahttps://www.instagram.com/corymuscarahttps://twitter.com/corymuscaraFor free meditations, book and app recommendations, text your email address to +16314054631. We thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

She reminds us that “as above, so below” and “as within, so without’. When you’re constantly hit by waves, and you never seem to be able to find the shore, life can feel tiring, but as Carole explains, this is all part of our journey to fluidity. “As soon as I think I’ve got it - here we go into the next learning phase.” Carol has a beautiful approach to living life to the full. Her philosophies on aligning with nature and allowing natural rhythms to guide us through life’s ups and downs are inspiring.
