Summary
Today's podcast is #5 on the top podcasts of 2023 list! I chat with keynote speaker and 3X best-selling author, Damon West. We start by getting into Damon's back story – from his high school sports days to playing in college, getting injured, and ending up in finance. But that's where things take a turn, as Damon gets introduced to meth, ultimately becoming the leader of a crime ring that lands him a 65-year prison sentence. We chat about everything from the gift of gab to standing up for what you believe in. Damon and I also dive into how sometimes the best way to help someone is to let them learn independently. Wrapping up, Damon shares an amazing story about the symbolism of the coffee bean in his journey. This is an incredibly inspiring episode packed with important messages everyone needs to hear. I hope you enjoy it! :)
