What if confidence isn’t something you’re born with, but something you build quietly, when no one’s watching?

At 19, Baylor wide receiver Taz Williams Jr. is living that truth. His story isn’t just about football, but the quiet battles we all face: the moments of doubt, the whispered prayers, the decision to believe in yourself when the pressure feels heavier than the spotlight.

In this episode, Taz shares share to us a mirror so that we are reminded that becoming who you’re meant to be is uncomfortable, uncertain, and deeply personal. And yet, it’s in those moments strength is born.

In this episode of Comfortable Conversations, Jas Kirk sits down with Ben Thomas who shares the moment he realized he was much more than the title, the promotion, or the brand attached to his name. From the pressure of being underpaid and overworked, to the weight of always walking on eggshells, Ben’s story is about recognizing when it’s time to step away — and having the courage to do it on your own terms.

Together we explore:

-What it really means to bet on yourself when the outside looks good but the inside feels empty

-How to navigate the pressure of expectations and titles

-Why walking away can feel both terrifying and freeing

-The weight that lifts when you choose faith over fear
