11 DEC 2022 · Special guest Sean Gillespie shares his incredible story. From #abuse & #trauma to a lengthy prison sentence for #hate crimes to life altering positive change. Sean’s journey will shake you to your core and stir your soul. As a former neo-Nazi skinhead and member of the white supremacist organization, Aryan Nations, Mr. Gillespie's story will take you through an incredible path from a world of hate into a world of righteous change. A former leader, recruiter, organizer, propagandist, and violent terrorist for the white supremacist and neo-Nazi movement, he promoted hate, bigotry, and racism. He was sentenced to 39yrs in the Federal prison system for a racially motivated hate crime in 2004. Mr. Gillespie spent a total of 16 years in prison, 8 of which were served in America's most secure facility, A.D.X. Super-Maximum Control Unit. Mr. Gillespie was released from prison in 2020, after winning an appeal he filed pro se. Sean got a second chance on life and has been able to overcome the mistakes he made early on.  After turning his back on the white supremacist movement in 2008, Mr. Gillespie has been able to do a considerable amount of work to combat and fight hatred and extremism. He has assisted in the teaching of criminology students and written numerous articles against hatred. Mr. Gillespie was featured in the award-winning documentary series 'Indivisible: Healing Hate' (2022, Paramount Plus) narrated by Mandy Patinkin, as well as news interviews both locally and nationally.

15 JAN 2022 · #BeyondBarriersPodcast hosts Jeff Schoep and Acacia Dietz interview  retired police officer Anthony Beattie. In Episode 27 we discuss the  relationship between police and community, school safety, and the  struggles police as individuals face in both personal and professional  life.  Anthony has over 20 years of service in law enforcement, most at a city  declining into one of the most violent in the nation. The student attack  at Columbine drove training across his department, evolving their every  day tactics and response. Yet he did not see these changes in the way  schools respond to incidents, evidenced in Parkland. Anthony began  researching acts of violence and student crisis, and spends much of his  time studying security as an ASIS member and PSP applicant. Now Anthony  is a co-founder of PEACE (Police Engagement And Community Excellence)  and is the Protection Coordinator for ATAP Security.  For more information on PEACE and ATAP please visit: PEACE: https://communityandpolice.com & https://atapsecurity.com For more information on ATAP Hall Monitor: https://ataphallmonitor.com Jeff Schoep is the Founder of  Beyond Barriers.
