In this episode, Conrad Weaver talks with Neil Schoepp, a former New York City police officer and firefighter, to discuss how first responders—and anyone—can overcome hesitation and overthinking to live more intentionally and purposefully. Neil shares real-world stories from his time in uniform, the deadly consequences of hesitation, and how he translated first responder training into tools for civilian life.

This conversation dives into:

  • Why hesitation is more dangerous than we think

  • The AIR Method (Awareness, Interruption, Redirection) to reprogram your mindset

  • How visualization—used by first responders daily—can transform your personal decision-making

  • “Point and call” (Shisa Kanko) and other habits that improve present-moment awareness

  • Why routines matter: Are you building your future or maintaining your past?

  • Tools to stop automatic negative thoughts and rewrite the story you tell yourself

  • How collaboration, identity, and intentional choices lead to lasting transformation

Whether you're in the firehouse or the boardroom, Neil’s mindset tools can help you act with clarity, crush doubt, and live with confidence.
