Description: In this episode of Going Big!, Kevin Gentry sits down with Senator Steve Daines for a wide-ranging conversation about faith, risk, entrepreneurship, family, and public service. Daines reflects on the major leaps that shaped his life, from moving his young family to China with Procter & Gamble, to helping build RightNow Technologies in Bozeman, to stepping into the political arena and serving 14 years in Congress.   Together, they explore what China looks like up close, what entrepreneurship taught him about leadership under pressure, why he felt called into public service, and why he says this next chapter is not about retirement but repurposing. The conversation also touches on marriage, grief, gratitude, and the kind of legacy he hopes to leave for the next generation.
