January 05, 2026

https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-palmucci-b0a8a3103/ https://twrmindset.com/ Do you pass the Sunday Test? In Part Two of this conversation, Vic Pepe sits down with Coach T to explore one of the most overlooked, but most revealing indicators of career alignment and personal wellbeing. Inspired by a scene from A Bronx Tale and the famous “door test,” Vic introduces a powerful modern version for professionals. The Sunday Test. It is simple, but brutal: How do you feel on Sunday morning? Do you wake up calm and ready for the week? Or do you wake up with anxiety, dread, and that heavy weight on your chest? Vic shares his personal story of failing the Sunday Test for years, including the moment he realized the cost of staying stuck in a toxic culture was higher than any paycheck, title, or stock vesting schedule. Together, Vic and Coach T unpack: • Why Sunday anxiety becomes “normal” in high-pressure careers • The invisible fear patterns that trap people in toxic environments • The myth that you are “limited” to your current company or industry • How impostor syndrome creeps in and how to shut it down fast • Why transferable skills matter more than industry experience in leadership • The early warning signs that your role is turning against you • Why staying for stock options can become a dangerous trade for your health • How to take control of your career before the company does it for you • The reality of executive tenure and why leaders must plan their exits early This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained by a role that once felt like a dream. If your Sundays feel heavy, this conversation could change the way you think about your career, your health, and your next move. ⸻ Subscribe for more conversations on leadership, mindset, career strategy, and personal reinvention. #Leadership #CareerGrowth #SundayScaries #WorkStress #ExecutiveLeadership #ImposterSyndrome #ProfessionalDevelopment #ToxicWorkplace #Mindset #Reinvention #CoachT Please Comment, Like, Share, and Subscribe! #shorts #shortsfeed #podcast #leaders #stories #podcast #courage #business #Success #Leadership #Motivation #Inspiration #SelfImprovement #PersonalDevelopment #GoalSetting #Mindset #Entrepreneurship #BusinessSuccess #LifeGoals #PositiveThinking #AchieveYourGoals #SuccessMindset #LeadershipSkills #MotivationalQuotes #SuccessTips #LeadershipDevelopment #InspirationalVideos #SuccessStories #money #life #rockandroll #music #CEO #COO #CFO #CAO #nextjob #goodtimes #success
