Going Big isn’t just a mindset—it’s a framework for transformation, innovation, and lasting impact. In this episode of Going Big!, host Kevin Gentry welcomes Jimmy Hutcheson, the visionary CEO of SPIN and Next Management Partners, who has mastered the art of taking legacy brands and scaling them into digital powerhouses.

Jimmy’s journey from a small-town upbringing in Springfield, Missouri, to leading some of the most recognizable names in media is proof that success favors those willing to step into the unknown. From early days hustling in the music industry to securing game-changing internships with MTV and KISS, he learned that saying yes to opportunity is the first step to going big.

When he acquired SPIN, Jimmy didn’t just buy a brand—he reimagined it. In just a few years, he 17x’ed its revenue, 20x’ed its social reach, and launched new ventures like SPIN TV and SPIN Records. But his story goes beyond business. As an advocate for using influence for good, he’s worked with The Phoenix to connect artists and audiences in the fight against addiction, proving that going big is about more than profits—it’s about purpose.

If you’re looking for the blueprint to scale your own ambitions, this conversation is packed with powerful lessons on leadership, digital strategy, and the courage to make bold moves. Whether you're a founder, a creator, or someone ready to break through to the next level, Jimmy Hutcheson’s story will challenge you to think bigger, move faster, and never settle.
