What happens when you bring together three powerhouse leaders to talk about what the world needs most, people who champion others?

In this special panel episode of the GRASP Confidence Podcast, host Tara LaFon Gooch sits down with Bob Burg, Tammy Appleton, and Kathy Tagenel for a transformative conversation about belief, leadership, and the Go-Giver mindset.

If you're a leader, entrepreneur, speaker, coach, or rising changemaker, this episode will show you why being someone's fan may be the most powerful catalyst for confidence and success.

The Heart of the Conversation: Why Championing Others Matters

"Some people have never had a fan."

Many people move through life without anyone believing in them. No advocate. No encourager. No one in their corner saying, You can do this.

This episode explores the real meaning of becoming someone's champion—especially for those who are still fragile, still uncertain, and still waiting for one voice of belief to change their direction.

You'll learn how a single act of belief can transform confidence, careers, and entire futures.

Kathy Tagenel

What Does It Mean to Be a Champion?

Being a champion isn't about cheering for the people who've already made it—the influencers with the fancy cars and nine income streams. It's about showing up for the person at the starting line… the one who's still fragile, still uncertain, still hoping someone will believe in them.

Some people have never had a fan in their entire life. They don't need a crowd; they need one person who will look them in the eye and say, "You can do this." For a new entrepreneur or emerging leader, that kind of belief can change everything—their business, their confidence, their courage, and the direction of their future.
