Episode #048 – From Foster Care To The NFL: Dealing With Identity Shift with Anthony Trucks.
Anthony started his life in foster care where he had 20 life-shattering shifts. These shifts started as early as three years old when he and his three siblings entered into foster care. Anthony endured beatings, starvation, and forms of torture all before the age of six. He certainly wasn’t dealt the easiest hand in life. Fortunately, after years of misfortune, he was placed into a home where he would eventually be adopted as the sole black person in a poor but loving, all-white family 8 years later.
Anthony’s life has been riddled with misfortune even three decades later. For most these issues would leave them broken however, for Anthony it was the opposite. He’s been able to fight through his troubles and emerge the other side more successful every time.
Anthony played college football for the University of Oregon and then played in the NFL for the Bucs, Redskins, and Steelers. After his career-ending injury playing for the Steelers, he started his own company, where he now helps people design and build better lives in the areas of business, fitness, and overall personal development.
During the episode, we discuss Anthony’s journey to the NFL and how he then managed to transition into an incredibly successful entrepreneur despite the initial early troubles when we had little idea as to how to run a business.
I hope you enjoy this episode of CEO Journals.
