This one frees you. GRASP Confidence Podcast goes beneath the surface; into the wounds that quietly run lives, the unforgiveness that blocks calling, and the identity God designed before the world got there first. Hosted by Tara LaFon Gooch — award-winning keynote speaker, 3X author, TEDx speaker, and CEO of Best Branding Solutions, a branding agency for thought leaders — each episode brings prophetic truth, personal testimony, and practical wisdom for the leader ready to stop performing for a world that can never fill what only God can. Through solo episodes and powerful conversations, Tara explores faith, healing, identity, calling, and what it truly means to reach for what God promised before the world told you that you weren't enough. This is not surface-level self-help. This is freedom. Rooted in the GRASP Method™ — Gratitude, Responsibility, Action, Sight, and Purpose — The GRASP Podcast exists for one reason: to help you release what's been holding you back and step boldly into the life God designed for you.

You can have the best product, the strongest offer, and the most polished brand—but if your audience doesn't remember you, you're invisible. In this powerful episode of GRASP Confidence , we sit down with Kim Angeli—sales leader, gratitude-driven entrepreneur, and Executive Director of the Certified Go-Giver® Speaker Program alongside Bob Burg —to unpack what it really takes to become unforgettable. With over 30 years in sales and entrepreneurship, Kim has mastered the art of creating deep, meaningful client relationships that don't just convert—but last. Her philosophy is simple, yet transformational: it's not your customer's job to remember you… it's your job to be unforgettable. From a Closet Startup to a 600% Exit Kim's story is one of resilience, reinvention, and radical alignment. After a successful corporate career—including becoming a $65 million producer—she made a bold leap into entrepreneurship during one of the most uncertain times in history: just 11 days after 9/11. She started her business in a guest room closet and built it into a thriving insurance agency, eventually selling it for a 600% profit. But what makes Kim's journey so compelling isn't just the success—it's what came next. Instead of chasing the next business win, she chose a different path: helping others build businesses rooted in gratitude, purpose, and human connection. Today, through her programs like Grow with Gratitude™ and Grumpy to Grateful™ , she teaches leaders how to turn transactional relationships into transformational ones.
