Guest

Neil Schoepp

Neil served a combined 24 years as a police officer and fireman in NYC, where hesitation wasn’t an option and execution meant survival. Drawing from decades of high-stakes decision-making under extreme pressure, Neil now helps driven people break through hesitation, dominate overthinking, and become relentless executors who achieve what others only talk about. When he’s not helping others level up, Neil spends time outdoors mountain biking, fishing, and hiking with his wife, two children, and their pup.
