Anthony Trucks is the President and CEO of Anthony Trucks Industries. He is also an author, professional speaker, consultant and former NFL player. He joins Jared Siegel to talk about taking risks, making bold and “unconfident” decisions, and bridging the identity gap.

Here are some highlights from their conversation:

Jared advises that in the current global state of chaos and disorder, we should remain focused on important things. Our attitudes and belief in our identity are connected to our ability to navigate this moment of uncertainty.

Anthony’s tagline is “Make success second nature.”

When you’re able to close the identity gap between who you are and who you want to be, you are able to shift your identity.

There are seven interconnected levels of the self mastery loop: identity begets beliefs, beliefs beget thoughts, thoughts beget feelings, feelings beget actions, actions beget outcomes, and outcomes shows you your environment.

What you create creates you; which is to say that over time, the work that you do creates a different person inside of you.

Cognitive dissonance is our desire for alignment.

It’s not a requirement to have a singular life altering moment you can attribute to being the reason you changed; just waking up and deciding you don’t like your current circumstances and identifying your unhappiness is a valid enough reason to change.

Anthony believes ego is everyone’s greatest obstacle.
