The Going Big! Podcast, hosted by fundraising and marketing expert Kevin Gentry, has reached a significant milestone, climbing to #2 in its category on iTunes. “This accomplishment reflects how our conversations with leaders like Daniel Di Martino are resonating with listeners,” said Kevin Gentry. “We are proud to share these impactful stories, and this upcoming episode with Daniel is one of the most compelling yet.”
This milestone underscores the podcast’s growing reputation for delivering thought-provoking conversations with influential business leaders, CEOs, and nonprofit visionaries. The highly anticipated new episode, releasing on Monday, features an inspiring interview with Daniel Di Martino, founder of the Dissident Project, who shares his powerful personal story of resilience while growing up in Venezuela during a period of great economic and social challenges.
In this episode, Di Martino offers listeners a window into the daily life of his family as they navigated the hardships caused by a crumbling economy. He recounts how shortages, inflation, and power outages affected communities and disrupted everyday life. Despite these obstacles, Di Martino’s family sought opportunities for a better future, ultimately leading him to leave Venezuela and pursue his education abroad.
His story is not only one of personal endurance but also one of hope, as he earned a full scholarship to Indiana University in the United States and later began his PhD at Columbia University. Now an advocate for freedom and economic opportunity, Di Martino dedicates his work to educating young people on the lessons learned from his experiences. Through his advocacy with the Dissident Project, he speaks about the importance of freedom and opportunity in building resilient communities.
“Daniel’s story is one of the most impactful we’ve featured on Going Big!,” said Gentry. “His journey from hardship to success serves as a reminder of the power of perseverance and the importance of standing up for the values that lead to prosperity.”
