Terry Crews: Trading Toxic Toughness for True Power

Today's guest is Terry Crews. He's an author, action-movie hero, sitcom star, children’s book illustrator, advertising pitchman, playable video game character, talent show host, high-end furniture designer, and human rights activist. He's written his new memoir, Tough: My Journey to True Power, where he chronicles the story of how he went from being a six-year-old boy with a goofy, toothless smile to being utterly selfish and angry, to a man who can finally acknowledge his own weaknesses and vulnerabilities and use his experiences to help motivate those around him.

 

In this episode you will learn:

• How Terry’s childhood led him to having a toxic definition of “being tough” and how he overcame it
• How getting revenge isn’t the best solution to your problems
• Why it’s important to own your truth and be vulnerable
• Why it’s important to remain humble in your career
