What does it take to walk on stage 6,000 times, and still feel nervous?

In this episode of The Susana Gibb Show, Susana Gibb sits down with her longtime friend Troy Grant, founding member of the legendary Four Day Weekend, for a fun, heartfelt, and surprisingly profound conversation about confidence, presence, and performance.

Troy shares what nearly three decades in improv, and more than 6,000 live shows, have taught him about fear, preparation, and trusting yourself in the moment. From his quirky pre-show rituals (including solo dinners at Luby’s and secretly watching audiences fill the theater) to unforgettable audition disasters and backstage nerves, Troy reveals the very human side of performing at the highest level.

Together, Susana and Troy break down the core principles of improv, like “yes, and,” deep listening, and embracing uncertainty, and explore how those same principles can transform not just performance, but leadership, relationships, and business. Troy also explains how Four Day Weekend brings improv into the corporate world, helping teams build trust, communicate better, and unlock creativity.

Ever catch yourself thinking, “I’m not ready yet” or “My voice doesn’t matter”?

Yeah… same. And that’s exactly why this conversation hits home.

In this episode of The Susana Gibb Show, I sit down with Simone Knego, empowerment coach, keynote speaker, author, and mom of six, to talk about what real confidence actually looks like (spoiler: it’s not loud, perfect, or fearless).

Simone shares her winding career journey, from accounting to horse farms to medical sales to the speaking stage, and how discovering the power of her own story changed everything. We dive into the sneaky ways self-doubt shows up in everyday language and how the words we use about ourselves quietly shape our reality.

She also teaches her simple but powerful mindset reset tool: Control-Alt-Delete, a way to interrupt negative thought spirals and replace them with beliefs that actually serve you.

We talk about:

Simone also opens up about co-hosting a podcast with her daughter, writing more vulnerably than ever before, and why celebrating tiny wins might be the most underrated confidence strategy of all.

What happens when creativity becomes the thing that helps you find yourself?

In this episode of The Susana Gibb Show, I sit down with Claire Morales, musician, graphic designer, writer, and one of Denton, Texas’s most celebrated creative voices. You might recognize her as Denton’s Best Young Singer-Songwriter (thanks, D Magazine), but this conversation goes far beyond accolades.

Claire opens up about starting to perform at just 13 years old, how music helped her move through shyness, and what changes when you go from solo artist to leading a band. We talk about service-oriented leadership, managing nerves, and why confidence isn’t something you’re born with, it’s something you practice.

We also dive into her ambitious new project, Lost in the Desert, a companion album and graphic novel inspired by solo van trips, Joshua Tree, and the quiet (and uncomfortable) moments that lead to real transformation. Claire shares how the desert became a metaphor for isolation, self-discovery, and learning to trust yourself when no one else is around.

Along the way, we unpack:

This episode is for creatives, entrepreneurs, and anyone learning how to show up, even when the path isn’t clear.

If you’ve ever wondered whether confidence comes before action or after it… this conversation might shift how you see both.

What you wear isn’t just fabric, it’s confidence, energy, and how you show up in the world.

If you’re a small business owner, entrepreneur, or BNI member, this conversation will remind you that confidence is contagious and sometimes all it takes is the right outfit to back it up.
