Neil Schoepp spent 40+ years in NYC where he grew up and hit every kid’s exacta. He first became a Police Officer and then a Fireman. Through his 24 years of working the streets of NYC, he came face to face with fear and found numerous ways of harnessing its power and using that power to take action instead of becoming frozen by it. Now Neil is on a conquest to help people use the energy created by fear to push through the fear and achieve the life they deserve. In his free time, Neil enjoys spending time outdoors mountain biking, fishing, and hiking with his wife and two children.
In this episode, Neil will share with us his story of how he transitioned from a police officer and firefighter to becoming a multi-family real estate investor. The importance of having strong communities and mentors to help him through his journey. And how his coaching program is helping people break through their fear, anxiety, and negative thought patterns.
