Join Daryl Davis, an American R&B and blues musician and activist who has convinced dozens to leave the KKK. Jeff Schoep, once the leader of America's largest neo-Nazi organization, has become a global advocate for peace and human rights. This podcast emphasizes the value of listening with empathy, staying engaged despite discomfort, and speaking one's truth. The speakers highlight how genuine understanding emerges not from agreement, but from curiosity and respect for diverse perspectives.
