What happens when the thing driving your success is the thing you've been running from?

Joshua Leach-Aslam first joined the GRASP Confidence Podcast on Episode 36. Now, on Episode 218, he's back with a new book, The Two-Hundred Percenter, and a story that proves your past does not get the final say.

Joshua faced a judge at 15, joined the British Army at 16, and became the youngest qualified sniper in the British Army by 18. After a tank blast in Helmand Province cost him his hearing and led to a medical discharge, he walked into a factory with no plan and no degree. Six years later, he was running the organization. Today he is a keynote speaker, author, and fractional operations director helping business leaders break through their ceilings.

In this episode, Tara and Joshua talk about:

• Why hyperperformance is often a way of running from the past
• The burnout cycle high achievers fall into, and how stillness breaks it
• Joshua's reading from Chapter One, "The Corner," and the lesson your own corner taught you
• Breaking the generational cycle as a parent
• How battlefield experience creates calm in business chaos
• Why adaptability is the most important skill in a fast-changing world
• The freedom that comes when you stop caring what others think

If you've ever felt like you had to outwork everyone to prove your worth, this conversation is for you.
