Scott Walker: The Governor Who Took the Fight Head-On

What does it take to make a difficult decision when the stakes are high and the opposition is fierce?    Former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker joins host Kevin Gentry on Going Big! to discuss the leadership decisions that defined his career, from confronting Wisconsin’s $3.6 billion budget shortfall to surviving a 2012 recall election after protests involving more than 100,000 people. Walker reflects on the personal cost of leadership, the mentors who shaped him, and the faith that helped him navigate threats and intense public pressure. The conversation also explores Walker’s decision to leave the 2016 presidential race and his current role as president of Young America’s Foundation, where he works to develop the next generation of leaders.    Through stories about mentorship, risk-taking, public service, and a student who found the courage to lead after meeting peers who shared his convictions, Walker offers lessons on recognizing opportunities, knowing when to move on, and using personal gifts to make a lasting contribution.
