How Damon West Went From Ex-Convict To Living His 1% Life
Manage episode 352926748 series 1168267
In today’s episode, I invite Damon West on the show to share his story of how he went from being a promising quarterback to becoming dependent on methamphetamines, being sent to jail, and then transforming his life to become a college professor and best-selling author. On May 18th, 2009, a judge sentenced Damon West to 65 years in a Texas prison. Back then, Damon was known as the Uptown Burglar: the ring leader of a group of addicts responsible for the uptown burglaries. Now he has evolved from being behind bars to being a global inspiration.
Also in this episode:
- There is no such thing as overnight success
- Getting up every day and becoming a servant leader
- The story of the coffee
- The power of sharing your story and the opportunities to which it can lead
