  • Ep. 152: Anthony Trucks on Dark Work, Identity Shifts, and Becoming Who Your Calling Requires
    Dec 30 2025

    What if the reason you feel stuck is not a lack of effort, but an identity that cannot sustain the life you want?

    In this episode of the Purpose Chasers Podcast, Mark Crandall sits down with longtime friend and mentor Anthony Trucks to unpack the concept of dark work. This is the unseen and uncomfortable work required to fundamentally shift who you are at your core.

    Anthony shares why mindset alone is not enough, how identity dictates execution, and why most people burn out chasing outcomes instead of becoming the person capable of holding them.

    This conversation explores why identity, not motivation, drives lasting change. It examines why most people quit when things get hard. It breaks down how dark work rewires discipline, confidence, and execution. It also explains why doing the work in silence prepares you to win in the light.

    If you are in a season of rebuilding, redefining, or reclaiming your purpose, this episode will meet you there.

  • Ep. 151: Sal Liberti on Mastery, Breathwork, and Returning Home to Peru
    Dec 24 2025

    Some callings do not push you forward. They pull you home.

    In this episode of the Purpose Chasers Podcast, Mark sits down with master breathwork facilitator Sal Liberti to explore the journey that led him back to Peru — not to escape, but to serve.

    Sal shares how years of global travel, personal development training, and hands-on facilitation shaped his expertise in breathwork and why true mastery is built through presence, repetition, and responsibility rather than digital scale or spiritual trends.

    This conversation goes deep into what separates real facilitation from surface-level wellness, the power of hyperlocal community work, and why breathwork became the bridge between personal growth and embodied healing.


    If you are a creator, healer, or leader who feels the tension between expansion and alignment, this episode will challenge how you define success — and invite you to listen more closely to where your work is truly needed.

    What part of this conversation resonated with you most?
    Was it the moment Sal chose alignment over scale, or the idea of being called back rather than forward?
