  • #171: Intention Over Outcomes: Why God Handles the Results (and We Don't Have To)

    #171: Intention Over Outcomes: Why God Handles the Results (and We Don't Have To)
    Feb 2 2026

    Do the Work, Release the Results: A Leadership Lesson in Faith and Integrity

    There's a revelation many leaders, creators, and high performers eventually come to—but often only after burnout, anxiety, or frustration sets in:

    We are responsible for intention and integrity.
    God is responsible for outcomes.

    In this solo episode, I share a recent personal reflection that reshaped how I approach leadership, creativity, and faith—rooted in wisdom from legendary producer Rick Rubin and anchored in a deeply spiritual truth.

    Rick Rubin is known for an unconventional creative philosophy: he is not concerned with the audience at all. Instead, his focus is singular—making the truest, most honest work he can make. He describes the process as a devotional practice. Once the work is complete, the outcome is no longer his responsibility.

    That insight stopped me in my tracks.

    Because it reveals something many of us struggle to accept:
    faithfulness and results are not the same thing.

    In a world obsessed with metrics, validation, reach, and reaction, this episode invites you to release what was never yours to carry. You'll hear why obsessing over outcomes drains presence, compromises integrity, and quietly disconnects us from our calling—while intention and integrity restore peace, clarity, and trust in God's timing.

    This conversation is especially for:

    • Leaders navigating pressure, visibility, or uncertainty

    • Creators and entrepreneurs exhausted by outcome-driven culture

    • High performers wrestling with control, anxiety, or perfectionism

    • Anyone longing to lead, create, and serve from a place of faith rather than fear

    Inside the episode, we explore:

    • Why intention matters more than reception

    • How integrity keeps your leadership aligned when outcomes feel uncertain

    • What it means to treat your work as an offering, not a transaction

    • How releasing control becomes a spiritual discipline

    • Why God never asked you to manage the results—only your obedience

    This isn't about doing less.

    It's about doing what actually belongs to you and trusting God with the rest.

    If you're ready to stop striving, start creating with devotion, and lead with lighter hands and deeper faith, this episode is for you.

    This is what faith-centered leadership looks like—gratitude for the calling, responsibility for our integrity, and trust in God for the outcome. Follow the podcast for more conversations that help you lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

  • #170: AI Is Moving Faster Than Leadership—How to Lead Without Losing What Makes Us Human

    #170: AI Is Moving Faster Than Leadership—How to Lead Without Losing What Makes Us Human
    Jan 26 2026
    Data, AI, and the Identity Crisis Facing Modern Leadership In this powerful, forward-thinking episode of the GRASP Confidence Podcast, host Tara LaFon Gooch sits down with Michael Clark — esteemed strategist, author, and global advisor on artificial intelligence (AI), data, and emerging technologies. If you're a leader, innovator, creator, or change-maker today, you already know this: technology isn't just transforming what we do — it's reshaping who we are. And the real question isn't whether AI will impact our future… it's how we will respond, lead, and live without losing what makes us human. Why This Episode Matters Now As AI accelerates faster than organizations and institutions can absorb, the confidence gap becomes a strategic vulnerability. Leaders feel the pressure to adopt AI, harness data, and modernize work — but many struggle to reconcile rapid innovation with human-centered purpose, identity, and community. In this episode, Michael Clark challenges the traditional narrative around technology. Rather than viewing AI as a disruptor to be feared or a tool to be controlled, Michael reframes it as a catalyst moment — a pivotal opportunity for humanity to rethink our systems and realign our values. Through deep insight, strategic clarity, and narrative wisdom, he shows listeners how to lead with confidence in the age of AI, unlocking not just productivity but purpose. Who Michael Clark Is — Credibility You Can Trust Michael Clark is a globally recognized strategist and advisor with an unparalleled ability to help leaders, governments, and investors understand what to do with AI, data, and emerging technology — not just what to think about. He bridges the worlds of innovation and human potential with humanity, ethics, and long-term thinking. His work is rooted in: Leading large-scale transformation and innovation across sectors Advising decision-makers on the responsible deployment of AI Developing new models for education and work that are being adopted globally Reframing data as a real-world asset Clarifying strategy for organizations facing disruption Integrating human identity, community, and purpose with technology Michael's perspective isn't theoretical — it's shaped by real-world experience, both at the intersection of innovation and implementation. About His Book — Our Moment: A Story of Destiny and Human Potential In his breakthrough narrative work, Our Moment: A Story of Destiny and Human Potential, Michael captivates early readers and thought leaders alike. Described by reviewers as a modern-day Alchemist for the digital age, Our Moment goes beyond instruction and analysis — it uses story to explore how humanity can learn, work, build, and live alongside AI, data, and emerging technologies without losing what makes us human. Rather than prescribing technical steps or theory, the book: Illuminates how identity and purpose shape our relationship with technology Articulates a vision of human-centered innovation Reimagines the future of learning, work, and society Inspires readers to lead with confidence in an AI-infused world This narrative-driven approach sets Our Moment apart as both a philosophical guide and strategic compass for leaders of all kinds. What You'll Learn in This Episode Listeners to this episode will gain: ✔ New frameworks for leading with confidence in the AI era ✔ Actionable insights on integrating data and technology into strategy without sacrificing human dignity ✔ Visionary perspective on how future systems — from education to governance — must evolve ✔ Clarity around AI as a catalyst for purpose, not just change ✔ Strategies for resilient, ethical leadership in uncertainty Whether you are a CEO, entrepreneur, educator, policymaker, or aspiring leader, this conversation will equip you with the tools, mindsets, and confidence to thrive — not just survive — as technology reshapes our world. Who This Episode Is For This episode is essential listening for: Executives and founders looking to integrate AI strategically Leaders in technology, innovation, and transformation Professionals navigating career reinvention in the digital age Human-centered thinkers focused on purpose and impact Anyone curious about the future of work, learning, and community Connect With Michael Clark 📘 Book: Our Moment: A Story of Destiny and Human Potential 🌐 Official website: https://ourmoment.ai/ 📱 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mclarkglobal 📧 Contact: info@ourmoment.ai

    #169: From CITGO to Caracas: Jose Pereira on Maduro's Capture and Venezuela's New Era
    Jan 23 2026

    What happens when a nation stands at the edge of history?

    In this powerful return to GRASP Confidence, former CITGO Petroleum CEO Jose Pereira joins the conversation to unpack the capture of Nicolás Maduro and what this pivotal moment could mean for Venezuela, the United States, and the future of global leadership.

    Drawing from his experience leading one of the world's most critical energy organizations and navigating geopolitical pressure at the highest levels, Jose offers rare insight into the political, economic, and human implications of this unfolding chapter. He speaks candidly about power, corruption, global influence, and the long road toward rebuilding trust, stability, and sovereignty.

    But above all, this conversation is rooted in hope.

    Hope for a Venezuela restored.
    Hope for ethical, values-driven leadership.
    Hope that even after decades of turmoil, a nation can heal, rebuild, and rise again.

    For listeners who want deeper context on Jose's personal journey—including his five years of captivity in Venezuela and the events that shaped his leadership—be sure to listen to Episode 30 of GRASP Confidence, where Jose shares his story in full.

    This is not just a conversation about politics or energy. It's a conversation about resilience, responsibility, faith in the future, and the belief that transformation is still possible, even when the road forward feels uncertain.
