The recent confirmation of the muon anomaly by the Fermilab experiment may harbinger a new era in 
and 
physics. In the context of general two Higgs doublet model, the discrepancy can be explained via one-loop exchange of sub-TeV exotic scalar and pseudoscalars, namely H and A, that have flavor changing neutral couplings 
and 
at 
times the usual tau Yukawa coupling, 
. Taking 
, we show that the above solution to muon then predicts enhanced rates of various charged lepton flavor violating processes, which should be accessible at upcoming experiments. We cover muon related processes such as 
, 
and 
, and decays 
and 
. A similar one-loop diagram with 
induces 
, bringing the rate right into the sensitivity of the MEG II experiment. The 
dipole can be probed further by 
and 
. With its promised sensitivity range and ability to use different nuclei, the conversion experiments can not only make discovery, but access the extra diagonal quark Yukawa couplings 
. For the lepton, we find that would probe 
down to or lower, while 
would probe 
to 
.
