Going Big means standing up for fundamental principles when it is hard, not just when it is popular. Greg Lukianoff has built a career doing exactly that.
In this timely conversation, host Kevin Gentry talks with Greg, the president of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), about what it truly takes to protect one of our most essential freedoms: the right to speak, to question, and to think independently.
Greg has gone big in every way. He has taken on universities, pushed back against digital censorship, partnered with innovators to keep artificial intelligence free from political bias, and defended the kind of open dialogue that fuels human progress. He is not just reacting to the threats of our time. He is shaping the future by building institutions that protect expression at scale.
This episode captures the Going Big spirit. It is about using ideas to build, using courage to lead, and refusing to play small when the stakes are high. If you care about liberty, innovation, education, or the future of truth itself, this conversation will challenge you to think bigger, lead braver, and stand taller.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
