Episode Description from the Publisher

How do you make a document written more than 230 years ago come alive for a generation raised on YouTube, social media, and streaming video? Janine Turner and Cathy Gillespie believe the answer isn't another textbook—it's storytelling.   In this episode of Going Big!, host Kevin Gentry sits down with the founder and CEO of Constituting America to explore how they've spent the past fifteen years transforming civics education through film, music, classroom engagement, and student creativity. They share the personal stories that led them to launch the organization, the lessons they've learned building a national nonprofit, and why they believe America's future depends on helping young people understand not just the Constitution itself, but the remarkable ideas that have preserved freedom for nearly 250 years.   Whether you're a nonprofit leader, educator, parent, or someone who cares about developing the next generation of leaders, this conversation offers practical insights into visionary leadership, the power of creativity, and what it takes to build a mission-driven organization that is changing lives.
