Anthony Trucks | How to Upgrade the Way You Operate to Elevate Your Career, Game, & Life

It took me 35 years to realize that my logic around mindset and what version of me showed up to high stakes games, meetings, and moments was flat out WRONG.

This week’s Guest on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show leans right into this discussion with me. I’m on the mic with foster kid turned NFL athlete, American Ninja Warrior, serial entrepreneur, and global keynote speaker, Anthony Trucks. Anthony’s had quite his share of life experiences to challenge this faulty mindset logic, so I can’t wait to share this interview with you. In typical Anthony Trucks fashion, he dropped a TON of wisdom and practical tips on how to upgrade your life and career.
