Jeff Schoep Former Leader of America's largest Neo-Nazi organization; Global Advocate for Peace, Transformation, and Human Rights.
Featured on The Joe Rogan Experience (#2399) alongside civil rights icon Daryl Davis, Jeff Schoep’s story defies expectations — from leading America’s largest neo-Nazi organization to becoming a global advocate for peace, education, and human rights.
His memoir, American Nazi: From Hate to Humanity, takes readers behind the headlines and into one of the most extraordinary transformations of our time.
After decades on the frontlines of extremism, Jeff made the courageous decision to walk away and rebuild his life around empathy, accountability, and reconciliation. Today, he is a sought-after speaker and consultant whose insights have reached audiences from the Nobel Peace Center in Norway to collaborations with the Simon Wiesenthal Center, RAND Corporation, and beyond.
Jeff’s journey has been featured in the Emmy award-winning documentary White Right: Meeting the Enemy, Paramount Pictures’ Indivisible: Healing Hate with Mandy Patinkin, and Red Table Talk with Jada Pinkett Smith — as well as appearances across the History Channel, National Geographic, CBS’s 60 Minutes, Hulu, Comedy Central, and other major media outlets.
Through powerful storytelling and lived experience, Jeff now uses the same psychological tools once used to divide people to bring them together. His work bridges divides, dismantles bias, and transforms the dynamics of hate into pathways toward healing.
Whether speaking on global stages or consulting with corporations, government agencies, communities, and organizations, Jeff equips leaders with strategies to cultivate trust, resilience, and unity in an increasingly polarized world.
