What does it mean to Go Big when the odds are stacked against you? In this powerful episode of the Going Big! Podcast, host Kevin Gentry sits down with Scott Strode, founder of The Phoenix, a free sober active community that is redefining recovery across the country.
Scott shares his personal journey from addiction and adversity to climbing literal mountains—and building one of the most impactful recovery movements in America. With over 800,000 lives already touched and a bold goal to reach 10 million people, Scott opens up about the mindset, strategy, and heart it takes to scale something that truly matters.
From boxing gyms to Himalayan peaks, from grassroots beginnings to national innovation, this episode is a masterclass in turning pain into purpose, and purpose into impact. Whether you're leading a nonprofit, building a business, or just taking your first step out of struggle, this is what Going Big looks like.
