On today's episode, I get the chance to sit down with my buddy, Anthony Trucks. This guy has seen it all. His life got thrown upside down as a toddler as he was given away by his mother to a gruesome foster home where he suffered abuse, torture and starvation.

He found strength and healing through sports as he played football in high school and went on to be a standout for the Oregon Ducks and went on to play in the NFL before a career ending injury. The story and adversity didn't stop there as he went onto become a successful entrepreneur and even found himself on the hit show, American Ninja Warrior as a contestant. Please listen to this one a few times as this "feel good" story is an unmatched tale of using hardships and "shifts" to make the most out of your identity.
