What does it take to launch a revolution—twice?
In this episode of Going Big!, host Kevin Gentry sits down with Gay Gaines, one of the most influential civic leaders of the last half-century. She helped build GOPAC into the engine that propelled Newt Gingrich to the speakership in 1994. Then she went on to raise over $100 million to transform Mount Vernon into the national treasure it is today.
Gay’s story is about more than political strategy or philanthropy—it’s about fearlessness. From befriending Margaret Thatcher and Bill Buckley to organizing with Rush Limbaugh and inspiring thousands to give generously, she shows what it means to commit fully to a cause you believe in.
Tune in to hear how she built movements, mentored leaders, and raised money the old-fashioned way: by asking big, bold, unapologetic questions. This is a masterclass in conviction, contribution, and Going Big.
