You wonder why, and it's not that you're upset you failed, you're upset that you realize that you're a person who fails and you have no proof of the opposite.

And the truth of it is, if you just stayed the course in any of the ventures, you'd have proof of the opposite.

You're listening to The Redefining Wealth Podcast with me, Your Host Patrice Washington. I am so excited about this season!

We are still in the ramp of phase of this our seventh season, and I cannot imagine having a better conversation than the one you're about to hear with former NFL athlete turned best-selling author, entrepreneur, and someone who's really passionate about helping you have identity shifts.

Anthony Trucks, so phenomenal. I've been on his podcast. I'm so excited to welcome him to our podcast community. And if you're brand new here, you want to go ahead and subscribe. Wherever you are listening to this right now, make sure you subscribe because this community is one that understands that wealth is so much more than just money and material possessions.

We believe in the original 12th century definition of wealth, which says it's about the condition of well-being. And so on these episodes, you're going to hear my insights, but also these brilliant interviews where we tap into what I like to call the six pillars of wealth.

These are the areas of life that are impacting your finances, even when you're not thinking about them. And boy, does Anthony pull out a lot of things that we were not necessarily thinking about, but he's going to share how it's impacted his life and ultimately his wealth.

Now, before we jump into this week's episode, let's get to our affirmation of the week.

We've got our firm positivity. We've got our firm abundance. We've got to firm yourself to wealth.

This week's affirmation is, my identity is who I am, not what I do. I am making a conscious choice to not base my identity, who I am, by my roles, what I do.

I do not require others to agree with or approve what I think and what I do.

My worth and importance is not determined by external validation. I choose to change my current identity because I believe the purpose I am being called to requires that I know not just what I want, but who I need to become in the process.

I am fully stepping into the mindset and habits of who I am becoming, not what was passed on to me from others.

My identity is who I am, not what I do.

Today's guest is Anthony Trucks. Anthony is a former NFL athlete, American Ninja Warrior, an international speaker who has been featured in success, Netflix, and Amazon Prime.

Anthony is a loving father, husband, man of faith, and a bestselling author, as well as the creator of the shift method where he helps people close the identity gaps that are responsible for the shortfalls on their path to success.

Without further ado, here's Anthony. Welcome to the redefining wealth podcast, Anthony.

Hey, thank you for having me. It's a good morning as well. I don't know if it was less than a morning, but we're going to say good morning. If it's nighttime, it's okay. Good morning.

So Anthony, I am really was really looking forward to this conversation in this season of the redefining wealth podcast, the pillar that we're really leaning into is the people pillar.

And so we always talk about, you know, one of the pillars of wealth is about creating relationships that matter. And what I love about what you talk about is that it really acknowledges that that first relationship is with yourself.

Right? Before you can really dive into having quality relationships with others, you have to actually know who you are. And I think so many of us, for one reason or another life, how we grow up, just the cards that get dealt, we struggle with this idea of identity and who we truly are.

So I want to go back to like kind of like your origin story before we dive into your method and what your book is about because I understand you are adopted.
