In this episode, we sit down with the son of the legendary American Sniper, Chris Kyle. At just 19, he's taking the reins of the 'American Sniper' brand, sharing touching stories of his father's impact as a family man beyond his military accolades, and laying out his vision for a legacy built on patriotism, service, and faith. Join us as we explore how personal history, profound loss, and deep-rooted values shape a future leader. It's a conversation filled with powerful insights and a deep dive into maintaining a legacy that honors a national hero.
Highlights:
"My father was just an incredible father and husband, a great family man. That's who he was at his core, and it set me up for success for the rest of my life."
"American Sniper stands for patriotism, righteousness, godliness, passion, excellence, service, sacrifice, and duty."
"Ultimately, when people see the American Sniper logo, I want them to think of patriotism, godliness, service, duty, and sacrifice... rooted deeply in faith and Christian values."
