Listen Later

What does it take to not only believe in big ideas—but to win with them? In this episode of the Going Big! Podcast, host Kevin Gentry sits down with conservative icon Morton C. Blackwell, founder and president of the Leadership Institute, for a remarkable conversation about a life spent shaping leaders, building institutions, and going all-in for the causes that matter.

With a career that spans decades—from being the youngest delegate for Barry Goldwater in 1964 to serving in the Reagan White House, and training over 320,000 conservative activists through the Leadership Institute—Blackwell shares timeless insights on what it truly means to Go Big! in life, leadership, and public service.

Morton’s story is one of courage, strategy, humility, and impact. He reveals how effective change isn’t just about having the right philosophy—it’s about learning how to win. From mentoring future U.S. senators to cultivating a global network of values-based leaders, he reminds us that vision without action isn’t leadership—it’s wishful thinking.

Whether you're an emerging leader, a seasoned strategist, or simply someone who wants to live with greater purpose, this episode is a roadmap to Going Big! the right way: with clarity, conviction, and a commitment to serving others.

🎧 Listen now and get inspired to build your foundation, study how to win, and Go Big! with your life’s work.
