Going Big for Free Speech: Greg Lukianoff on Empowering Minds and Protecting Expression

Going Big! with Kevin Gentry

Going Big means standing up for fundamental principles when it is hard, not just when it is popular. Greg Lukianoff has built a career doing exactly that.

In this timely conversation, host Kevin Gentry talks with Greg, the president of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), about what it truly takes to protect one of our most essential freedoms: the right to speak, to question, and to think independently.

Greg has gone big in every way. He has taken on universities, pushed back against digital censorship, partnered with innovators to keep artificial intelligence free from political bias, and defended the kind of open dialogue that fuels human progress. He is not just reacting to the threats of our time. He is shaping the future by building institutions that protect expression at scale.

This episode captures the Going Big spirit. It is about using ideas to build, using courage to lead, and refusing to play small when the stakes are high. If you care about liberty, innovation, education, or the future of truth itself, this conversation will challenge you to think bigger, lead braver, and stand taller.
