Damon tells us the story of his life and the lessons he has learned along the way. A story of an All-American kid who essentially has everything in life going his way yet he ends up on the streets of Dallas an addict and a thief. Damon grew up in a very loving and nurturing family with two amazing parents. From Port Arthur, TX, he lives out every young man's dream of becoming a Division 1 college quarterback. After college he goes to work in politics and investments -- he has it all until he doesn't. But, this is a story of redemption and he walks us through the amazing lessons he has learned along the way from some of the most unexpected teachers. The story of 'The Coffee Bean', a book he co-authored with Jon Gordon will provide a life lesson you will likely never forget. Damon also chronicled his entire journey from college to prison to life after prison in his book, 'The Change Agent' and we are so fortunate to have him on the show to share it with us. So, get your pen and paper ready, because this is Damon West.
