# The Rise of Charlie Kirk: From High School Activist to Conservative Media Powerhouse

Discover the remarkable journey of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, in this illuminating podcast episode. Born in suburban Chicago in 1993, Kirk transformed from a politically active high school student into one of America's most influential conservative voices before the age of 30.

Learn how a pivotal rejection from West Point and mentorship from Tea Party activist Bill Montgomery led Kirk to establish TPUSA at just 18 years old. The episode traces his organization's explosive growth from local initiative to nationwide conservative force with thousands of campus chapters and millions in funding.

This in-depth profile examines Kirk's expanding media empire, including his top-ranked podcast, bestselling books, and social media reach of over 150 million people monthly. We explore his controversial initiatives like the Professor Watchlist, his close relationship with former President Trump, and the development of Turning Point Action and Turning Point Faith.

Whether you view him as a visionary conservative leader or a divisive political figure, Kirk's transformation from community college dropout to conservative kingmaker represents the changing landscape of political influence in the digital age.
