In this inspiring episode of Going Big, host Kevin Gentry sits down with two visionary leaders who are changing lives through purpose, compassion, and courage. Christian Fischer, former CEO of Georgia-Pacific, and Chad Houser, founder of Café Momentum, share the story of how a bold idea to teach justice-involved youth culinary skills became a national movement transforming entire communities.
Chad describes the moment he walked into a Dallas juvenile detention center to teach eight young men to make ice cream—and how that simple act sparked a life-changing mission. From that day forward, Café Momentum grew into a powerful model of mentorship, consistency, and opportunity for youth who deserve a second chance. Christian shares how he helped bring Café Momentum to Atlanta, uniting business leaders, policymakers, and citizens to create a space where young people can thrive through hard work and dignity.
Together, they explore how courage, community, and belief in others can build unstoppable momentum for good. This is a story about going big—not just in vision, but in heart, service, and impact.
