He’s here to reveal what happens when the lights go down, the script fades, and you’re left with the one character you can’t escape: yourself. In this candid and soul-stirring episode of GRASP Confidence, Brian sits down with host Tara LaFon Gooch to go far beyond the glitz of Hollywood and the world of performance.

This episode is a masterclass in radical authenticity, quiet courage, and the power of presence. If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or the pressure to be who the world expects you to be—this conversation will speak directly to your soul.
