Charlie Kirk thought in his last interview about faith, family and entrepreneurship
Hours before he was murdered on September 10th, Charlie Kirk Sat on the stage at the restaurant summit in Salt Lake City to be his last interview.
That by Andrew K. Smith, Managing Partner of Savory Fund, led by Andrew K. Smith, should be a discussion about entrepreneurship, leadership and the growth of the U.S. It turned into Kirk’s last recorded considerations for his work, his family and his philosophy of life.
“He was full of life, he was optimistic,” recalled Smith on the “Fox & Friends Weekend”. “He went off the stage and said:” How did I do? “He wanted to know that he did a good job. He was gone within an hour.
Smith said that there were initially some “setbacks” in the restaurant industry about the invitation from Kirk, but the event became heart. “After this 35-minute conversation, I got a swarm of texts by people who said:” I didn’t know about him, I didn’t know that he was an entrepreneur like me. “It actually changed her opinion to him.”
During the interview, Kirk divided insights into the entrepreneurial Grit, which was necessary for the establishment of organizations and his dedication to his family. He described the growth of Turning Point USA to a movement that employs over 1,000 people and generated more than 140 million US dollars in combined income.
“I love building teams,” he said. “I know that my skills to manage everyday life is not of them. But vision, exactly what we get there and this vitality is, that’s what I do.”
Kirk also spoke openly about his faith and insisted that no free society can survive without virtue and that virtue requires a basis in God. He described his top priorities as “God, woman, children and network” and emphasized that he wanted to be remembered because of mom. “Courage is the ultimate virtue,” said Kirk. “Without them there are no other virtues.”
For Smith, the final exchange was urgent. He asked Kirk to share a favorite quote from which he lived. “It will knock you around,” said Smith. “You really felt the spirit he wore as a person. This conversation will be something that I remember for the rest of my life.”
Kirk left the stage at 11:23 a.m. he was shot less than an hour later.
