    #168: When Success Outgrows Your Capacity to Hold It | Brent Perkins
    Jan 19 2026

    What happens when your success outgrows your capacity to hold it?

    In this episode of GRASP Confidence, Tara LaFon Gooch sits down with Brent Perkins, former seven and eight-figure entrepreneur, two-time Inc. 5000 leader, author of Papercuts: The Art of Self-Delusion, and Fractional CEO for high-performing fathers.

    Brent's story is one many elite leaders quietly relate to: rapid growth, global influence, and external validation—followed by a personal collapse. His marriage ended. His health declined. And the life he built no longer aligned with who he wanted to be.

    Instead of rebuilding with hustle, Brent rebuilt with capacity.

    In this conversation, we unpack:

    • Why success without expanded capacity eventually breaks you

    • The hidden self-delusions high achievers fall into without realizing it

    • How leaders can expand their internal capacity to sustain growth, impact, and presence

    • Why integration—not balance—is the future of leadership

    • How rebuilding your inner life changes the way you lead your business and your family

    This episode is especially meaningful as Tara shares how these same principles are woven into her upcoming book, From Calling to Confidence, which dedicates an entire chapter to increasing capacity so calling doesn't turn into burnout.

    If you're a high-demand entrepreneur, CEO, author, or founder building something meaningful—and you want to grow without losing yourself—this episode is required listening.

    #167: Bishop Kevin Foreman on Resistance, Calling, and Becoming Who You're Meant to Be
    Jan 15 2026
    Have you ever felt like you were made for more but your circumstances don't match your future? In this episode of GRASP Confidence, Tara LaFon Gooch sits down with Bishop Kevin Foreman—widely known as "The People's Bishop"—for a grounded, practical conversation on leadership, faith, discipline, and personal evolution. Bishop Foreman shares his journey from humble beginnings in Denver and the inner city of Memphis to becoming an influential pastor, church planter, success coach, author, entrepreneur, and founder of Harvest Bible College. His story is a testament to breaking generational limits, transcending statistics, and leading with wholeness rather than burnout. This conversation explores what it truly means to evolve—spiritually, physically, and professionally—without waiting for perfect conditions. Drawing from his own experience, including restoring his health and losing over 95 pounds through the Fit Harvest movement, Bishop Foreman explains why sustainable transformation happens through daily discipline, faith-led decisions, and consistency over time. In this episode, you'll learn: Why leaders must stay full before they can pour into others How resistance often confirms alignment with your calling The importance of daily habits over emotional motivation What it means to evolve without abandoning who you are How faith, stewardship, and responsibility intersect in leadership Why saying "yes" one step at a time leads to lasting confidence and growth This episode is especially relevant for leaders, entrepreneurs, faith-driven professionals, and anyone navigating growth, pressure, or transition while striving to lead with clarity and purpose.

    The Belief That Built Chicken Soup for the Soul: Mark Victor Hansen on Confidence, Purpose, and Legacy


    What does it take to create a message that reaches hundreds of millions of people—and still stays rooted in purpose?

    In this powerful episode of the GRASP Confidence Podcast, Tara LaFon Gooch sits down with Mark Victor Hansen, co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, one of the most influential and best-selling book franchises of all time. With over 500 million copies sold worldwide, Mark's work has shaped generations of readers, leaders, and visionaries—but the real story behind that success is not just publishing. It's belief.

    Mark pulls back the curtain on the inner foundation that made global impact possible. From facing repeated rejection to holding unwavering confidence in a vision long before the world validated it, Mark shares what most people never see: the internal discipline required to sustain external success.

    Together, Tara and Mark explore why confidence isn't personality-based; it's cultivated. They discuss the power of storytelling as a leadership tool, the responsibility that comes with influence, and why clarity of purpose matters more than ever in a noisy, competitive world. For authors and thought leaders, this conversation is a masterclass in aligning message, mission, and impact without losing authenticity.

    If you've ever felt called to write a book, lead a movement, or scale your influence but questioned whether your voice was enough—this episode will shift something in you.

    Mark explains how belief becomes a multiplier, how responsibility sharpens leadership, and why intentional action is what separates ideas that fade from messages that endure. You'll hear how confidence, when grounded in service and purpose, creates ripple effects far beyond personal success. This is not about chasing fame; it's about building a legacy that lasts.

    Whether you're an entrepreneur scaling a mission-driven business, an author preparing to share your story, or a leader navigating visibility and growth, this conversation will remind you that the most powerful success begins from the inside out.

    Listen now to this inspiring episode of the GRASP Confidence Podcast and rediscover the belief, clarity, and responsibility required to step fully into your calling.

    #165: Why Authenticity Is the Ultimate Advantage in the Age of AI | Harvey Castro, MD, MBA (5x TEDx Speaker)
    Jan 8 2026
    Thought Leadership Isn't Claimed. It's Proven. In a world flooded with AI-generated content, polished prompts, and recycled ideas, authenticity has become the most valuable currency a speaker can offer. In this powerful episode of GRASP Confidence, Tara LaFon Gooch sits down with Harvey Castro, MD, MBA — 5x TEDx Speaker, physician, entrepreneur, and AI thought leader to explore what it actually takes to stand out in the age of artificial intelligence. This isn't a surface-level conversation about AI tools or trends. It's a masterclass on credibility, thought leadership, and using AI as a mirror not a mask. Harvey shares how he landed five TEDx talks in just twelve months, why most speakers get rejected before they ever hit "submit," and how authenticity is what ultimately earns trust, influence, and stage invitations. Together, Tara and Harvey unpack: Why credentials, lived experience, and clarity of perspective matter more than ever How AI can reveal your blind spots in speaking, presence, and delivery The difference between having an idea and being the authority Why generosity of knowledge builds more influence than gatekeeping ever will How to prepare for TEDx (and high-stakes stages) without losing your voice Harvey also introduces SpeakerPlus AI, a groundbreaking tool that analyzes voice, tonality, body language, and micro-expressions giving speakers feedback most humans simply can't catch in real time. At its core, this episode is a reminder that AI doesn't replace speakers, it exposes them. And in an age where everything can be replicated… authenticity is the one thing that can't be duplicated. 💬 Powerful Quotes from the Episode "TEDx isn't about just having a good idea. It's about proving you are the credible voice to carry it." "AI shouldn't write your talk for you but it can absolutely help you see what you're missing." "We don't know what we don't know. And that's where AI can become a powerful mirror for speakers." "Generosity of knowledge is one of the highest forms of authority." 🎯 Who This Episode Is For Speakers pursuing TEDx or global stages Physicians, CEOs, and founders building thought leadership Leaders navigating AI without losing their humanity Anyone who wants to stand out by being more real, not louder If this episode resonated with you: Follow GRASP Confidence on your favorite podcast platform Share this episode with a speaker or leader who needs to hear it Leave a review on Apple Podcasts—it helps this message reach more people who are ready to lead with confidence, credibility, and authenticity 🎙️ Because the world doesn't need more noise, it needs more truth.

    #164: Come Off Mute: How Faith-Anchored Confidence Unlocks Women's Leadership With Dr. Rita Renee
    Jan 5 2026
    What happens when women stop shrinking and finally use the voice God gave them? Too many women are leading quietly; minimizing their voice, second-guessing their authority, and staying hidden in spaces they were called to influence. In this powerful episode of GRASP Confidence, Tara LaFon Gooch sits down with Dr. Rita Renee, international speaker, author, leadership coach, and TEDx Raleigh 2025 speaker, for a faith-filled conversation about visibility, obedience, and the courage it takes to come off mute. With over 34 years in nursing and 20 years in corporate healthcare leadership, Dr. Rita Renee brings executive wisdom and biblical truth together to help women lead with confidence, communicate with authority, and stop waiting for permission to step into their calling. In this episode, you'll learn: Why confidence is rooted in obedience—not titles or validation How faith and leadership intersect in seasons of visibility The real cost of shrinking and the freedom that comes from alignment What it means to lead boldly without apology How your voice becomes a catalyst for influence, impact, and legacy This episode is a reminder that leadership is not about being louder, it's about being faithful. 🎧 Listen now and remember: your voice isn't optional. It's part of your assignment. Top Quotes from the Episode "God never called you to be quiet about what He assigned you to do." "Confidence doesn't come from position, it comes from obedience." "Your voice isn't optional. It's a responsibility." Meaning Behind "It Is Finished" The Greek word Jesus spoke on the cross for "It is finished" is Tetelestai (τετέλεσται), a perfect tense verb meaning the action is completed with lasting results, signifying triumph, victory, and the completion of redemption, often interpreted as "paid in full" in a commercial sense or fulfilling scripture. Meaning & Significance Completion: It declares that the work of salvation, the fulfillment of prophecy, and the payment for sin are all done."Paid in Full": While debated, it strongly suggests the idea of a debt being fully settled, a powerful concept in ancient commerce.Triumph: It's a declaration of victory over sin, death, and darkness, not a sigh of defeat.Perfect Tense: In Greek, the perfect tense (like in tetelestai) emphasizes a completed action with ongoing, future effects, meaning it's finished forever.

  • #161: Transformation Over Motivation: How To Navigate Change With Confidence Featuring Eric Pfeiffer and Dr. Grant Van Ulbrich

    #161: Transformation Over Motivation: How To Navigate Change With Confidence Featuring Eric Pfeiffer and Dr. Grant Van Ulbrich
    Dec 22 2025
    Transformation Over Motivation, How Leaders Navigate Change With Eric Pfeiffer & Dr. Grant Van Ulbrich Motivation fades. Transformation lasts. In this powerful episode of GRASP Confidence, Tara LaFon Gooch sits down with executive leadership coach Eric Pfeiffer and change leadership expert, Dr. Grant Van Ulbrich to explore why real leadership change doesn't come from hype, inspiration, or short-term motivation but from identity, responsibility, and disciplined action. This is a grounded, executive-level conversation for leaders who are tired of motivational noise and ready for sustainable transformation. Together, Eric, Tara and Dr. Grant unpack the critical distinction every leader must understand: Motivation is emotional. Transformation is structural and only one of them holds under pressure. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why motivation fails when leadership gets hard—and what replaces it How identity, not intention, determines leadership outcomes The difference between reacting to change and leading through it Why responsibility is the gateway to power, not blame How consistency—not intensity—creates lasting culture and trust What leaders must embody first before expecting change from their teams As Eric shares, "If leadership depends on how you feel that day, it's not leadership; it's volatility." And as Dr. Grant reinforces, transformation begins when leaders decide who they are before deciding what they do. Memorable Moments from the Conversation: "Motivation feels good but transformation is what actually changes how you lead." "Responsibility isn't about blame. It's about power." "Culture doesn't change because you said something once. It changes because you live something consistently." "Leaders don't fail because they lack motivation. They fail because they haven't transformed how they think and operate under pressure." 🧠 How This Episode Aligns with the GRASP Framework This conversation embodies the heart of GRASP—especially: Responsibility: Owning outcomes to create real change Action: Building standards that outlast emotion Sight: Leading with clarity instead of reactivity Rather than offering surface-level inspiration, this episode delivers practical, identity-driven leadership insight for CEOs, founders, executives, and high-capacity leaders navigating complexity and change. If you're ready to stop chasing motivation and start leading with clarity, consistency, and confidence; this episode is for you. 🎧 Listen now and step into transformation.
