<![CDATA[The Think Big Podcast]]>The Think Big Podcast is a high-impact, problem-solving show where real entrepreneurs bring real, unresolved business challenges, and leave with actionable strategies for responsibly scaling exponential growth.

 

Hosted by Geoffrey Kent, Founder of ThinkBigwithGeoffreyKent.com, Wharton MBA in Entrepreneurial Management, former adjunct professor of entrepreneurship at Lincoln University, and veteran of 20+ venture launches, scale-ups, and exits, each episode opens the door to a level of strategic thinking normally reserved for boardrooms, advisory councils, and elite founder networks.

 

Unlike traditional interview podcasts, every guest arrives with a current business problem they are struggling to solve, from stalled growth and unclear positioning to sales breakdowns, execution gaps, and leadership blind spots. Over the course of a 60–90-minute session, Kent works with the guest to challenge assumptions, identify root causes, surface blind spots, and co-create practical next steps grounded in real-world entrepreneurial experience, not theory.

 

Guests return in later episodes to share the outcomes achieved by implementing the guidance, giving listeners rare before-and-after insight into what actually works when scaling a business responsibly and sustainably.

 

Episodes are recorded in long form and distributed globally across podcast platforms, with select highlights rebroadcast as short-form video across YouTube, LinkedIn, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Alignable, and partner media outlets.

 

The Think Big Podcast is essential listening for entrepreneurs, founders, operators, and growth-minded leaders who want to understand how real decisions get made, and what it truly takes to build, scale, and lead at a world-class level.

Kendra shares how her business grew out of a real operational headache: information overload. From email threads with 20 messages buried inside donor workflows to leads slipping through DMs, web forms, and text messages, she explains why so many revenue opportunities disappear in the cracks and how AI can surface what matters before it is lost.

Geoffrey also breaks down a powerful positioning strategy for founders: narrow your target market, speak to one vertical with authenticity, and let the algorithm work for you instead of against you. He explains why early-stage entrepreneurs should focus on a specific customer group, build strategic alliances with larger organizations, and create systems that can scale before hiring too fast. If you are trying to sell an AI product, define a niche, or figure out how to turn a “nice-to-have” into an urgent priority, this episode gives you the language and strategy to do it.
