Ep. 147: Anthony Trucks- Dark Work, Identity Shifts & Becoming the Person Who Can’t Lose

Former NFL athlete, transformational coach, and creator of Dark Work, Anthony Trucks returns for a powerful round-two conversation with Mark Crandall. This episode unpacks the truth behind identity shifts, why most people fail before they ever begin, and how to build the version of yourself that cannot lose in the light.

Anthony breaks down the real mechanics behind Dark Work — the disciplined, uncomfortable, deeply personal work done when no one is watching — and why the person you become in the dark determines everything about your success in the light.

You’ll learn:
• Why identity — not motivation — determines your future

• The three stages of Dark Work and how to apply them today

• Why “designing your dark” creates unstoppable discipline

• How to stop resisting discomfort and start using it as a weapon

• The mindset of top performers (and why most people will never adopt it)

• How to rewire who you are through intentional experiences

• Why most people sabotage success by rejecting the people who already have it

• The difference between “I hope I win” and “There’s no way I lose”

If you’re in a season where you’re rebuilding, reinventing, or pushing toward a new level — this episode will hit deep.
