In this episode of Going Big!, host Kevin Gentry sits down with Governor Glenn Youngkin for a wide‑ranging and deeply personal conversation that goes far beyond politics.
From growing up in a working‑class Virginia family shaped by resilience, to leading one of the world’s most influential investment firms, to answering an unexpected call to public service, Governor Youngkin shares the defining moments that prepared him for leadership. He reflects on the mentors who challenged him, the role of faith in shaping his marriage and decision‑making, and the lessons sports taught him about teamwork, discipline, and results.
Kevin and Governor Youngkin explore what it really means to go big as a leader—why listening matters more than talking, how values guide hard decisions, and why execution ultimately separates good ideas from real impact. The conversation connects business leadership, public service, and personal purpose in a way that’s practical, honest, and deeply human.
Whether you’re leading an organization, discerning a calling, or simply asking what meaningful service looks like in your own life, this episode offers a compelling blueprint for leading with clarity, conviction, and purpose.
