Are We STILL Friends?

In this episode, we catch up with Speaker, Author, Coach, Ex NFL Player Anthony Trucks about pivoting through the pandemic and stepping into the next level of success. We touch on developing confidence through action, the fear of leveraging your network when launching something (like a book or a new business), and growing through different seasons with a partner or spouse.Just as the pandemic was starting, we welcomed Anthony on the PUSH podcast to talk about making Shift Happen in our lives to achieve happiness, success, freedom, and fulfillment. We thought it was a good idea to bring him back to continue with the conversation around identity shift and post-pandemic pivots.So as to grow, we have to try out new things, and this will be uncomfortable. You’ll have to acquire a new identity regardless of how successful you were before. Successful people navigate through this discomfort, self-doubt, and insecurity to structure a new identity for themselves.This then allows you to be confident in yourself as you know you’ve put in the work. You are no longer apprehensive about this new space you are in.Join us in this conversation as we talk about identity shift and how to develop confidence through action.Also, head over to Janellecopeland.com for details on how you can get an autographed copy of Anthony’s new book and a free workbook worth $100!Key Takeaways- What in the world - The interwebs of craziness (02:41)- Developing confidence through action (15:27)- Leveraging your network to launch something new (21:14)- How to navigate through discomfort to acquire a new identity (24:57)- Do the work in the dark, so that you can shine in the light (29:16)- Why you need Pinky finger strength in your life (34:09)- Shaking off old identities to create room for new ones (35:36)- Growing through different seasons with your spouse (39:59)Additional Resources:Anthony's IGAnthony's Website Get Anthony's New Identity Shift Book-------Janelle's websiteJoin the Cake Cents FB GroupJoin the Push Podcast FB GroupThe Push Podcast's official websiteThe Pusher SocietyCake Mamas InstagramEddie's Instagram
