Ep. 152: Anthony Trucks on Dark Work, Identity Shifts, and Becoming Who Your Calling Requires

What if the reason you feel stuck is not a lack of effort, but an identity that cannot sustain the life you want?

In this episode of the Purpose Chasers Podcast, Mark Crandall sits down with longtime friend and mentor Anthony Trucks to unpack the concept of dark work. This is the unseen and uncomfortable work required to fundamentally shift who you are at your core.

Anthony shares why mindset alone is not enough, how identity dictates execution, and why most people burn out chasing outcomes instead of becoming the person capable of holding them.

This conversation explores why identity, not motivation, drives lasting change. It examines why most people quit when things get hard. It breaks down how dark work rewires discipline, confidence, and execution. It also explains why doing the work in silence prepares you to win in the light.

If you are in a season of rebuilding, redefining, or reclaiming your purpose, this episode will meet you there.
