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.

Some callings do not push you forward. They pull you home.

In this episode of the Purpose Chasers Podcast, Mark sits down with master breathwork facilitator Sal Liberti to explore the journey that led him back to Peru — not to escape, but to serve.

Sal shares how years of global travel, personal development training, and hands-on facilitation shaped his expertise in breathwork and why true mastery is built through presence, repetition, and responsibility rather than digital scale or spiritual trends.

This conversation goes deep into what separates real facilitation from surface-level wellness, the power of hyperlocal community work, and why breathwork became the bridge between personal growth and embodied healing.

If you are a creator, healer, or leader who feels the tension between expansion and alignment, this episode will challenge how you define success — and invite you to listen more closely to where your work is truly needed.

If you’re great at what you do but sales calls still feel awkward, draining, or inconsistent, this episode is for you.

Not because you need better scripts.Not because you need a better funnel.And definitely not because you’re bad at sales.

It’s because you were taught the wrong definition of selling.

In this solo episode, Mark Crandall breaks down why most sales training fails heart-centered coaches, consultants, healers, and creators, and what actually causes people to commit without pressure, manipulation, or awkward closes.

You’ll learn:

• Why people don’t buy when they’re convinced

• How internal conflict, not urgency, drives decisions

• The difference between leading a conversation and pitching

• How to close clients without “selling” anything

If you want sales conversations that feel natural, grounded, and aligned with who you are, this episode will change how you think about closing forever.
