The Ku Klux Klan is one of the tightest-knit White supremacist groups in America—once someone joins, they’re usually in for life. But since the 1980s, over 200 members have renounced their affiliation, and all give credit to the same man: a Black jazz musician named Daryl Davis. In this episode, Adam is joined by Daryl and Jeff Schoep, a former leader of the largest neo-Nazi group in the US whose life and mind were changed by meeting and befriending Daryl. They discuss techniques for challenging ignorance and prejudice, analyze the cognitive dissonance experienced by members of extremist groups, and reflect on the conversations with Daryl that helped Jeff think again. They also explore the limits of empathy and curiosity.Host & GuestAdam Grant (Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/adamgrant/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@adamgrant</a> | LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/adammgrant" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@adammgrant</a> | Website: <a href="https://adamgrant.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://adamgrant.net/</a>) Daryl Davis (Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/realdaryldavis/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@realdaryldavis</a> | Website: <a href="https://www.daryldavis.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.daryldavis.com/</a>)&nbsp;Jeff Schoep (Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jeff_schoep/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jeff_schoep</a> | Website: <a href="https://jeffschoep.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://jeffschoep.com/</a>)&nbsp;Links<a href="https://beyondbarriersusa.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://beyondbarriersusa.org/</a>Follow TED!&nbsp;X:<a href="https://www.twitter.com/TEDTalks" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.twitter.com/TEDTalks</a>Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/ted" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.instagram.com/ted</a>Facebook:<a href="https://facebook.com/TED" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://facebook.com/TED</a>LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/ted-conferences" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.linkedin.com/company/ted-conferences</a>TikTok:<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@tedtoks%C2%A0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.tiktok.com/@tedtoks&nbsp;</a>Podcasts:<a href="https://www.ted.com/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.ted.com/podcasts</a>For the full text transcript, visit <a href="https://www.ted.com/podcasts/worklife/worklife-with-adam-grant-transcripts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ted.com/podcasts/worklife/worklife-with-adam-grant-transcripts</a><hr> Hosted on Acast.
