Damon West, M.S. Criminal Justice, is a college professor, internationally known keynote speaker, 3 x Wall Street Journal bestselling author and former crime boss in Dallas, who was sentenced to Life in prison for Organized Crime. USA Today calls him the “modern day Shawshank Redemption and the most in-demand speaker in America.” At 20 years old, he was a Division 1 starting quarterback at the University of North Texas, when he suffered a career ending injury and turned to hardcore drugs to cope with disappointments of life. After graduation, he worked in the United States Congress and trained to be a stockbroker for United Bank of Switzerland (UBS). One day at UBS, he was introduced to methamphetamines; he became instantly hooked—and the lives of so many innocent people would forever be changed by the choices he made in order to feed his insatiable meth habit. After a fateful discussion during his incarceration with a seasoned convict, Damon had a spiritual awakening. He learned that, like a coffee bean changing with the application of heat and pressure, he was capable of changing the environment around him. Armed with a program of recovery, a renewed faith, and a miraculous second chance at life, Damon emerged from over seven years of prison a changed man. On parole in Texas until 2073, his story is one of hope, redemption, grit and the resilience of the Human spirit. Today on the show we discuss: why USA Today has compared Damon's story to "The Shawshank Redemption," how he transformed his mindset inside a maximum security prison, how to escape mental prisons and learn from adversity, daily spiritual and mental practices that changed his life, Damon's powerful story of forgiveness from one of his victims, what he's doing to give back and much more. ⚠ WELLNESS DISCLAIMER ⚠ Please be advised; the topics related to health and mental health in my content are for informational, discussion, and entertainment purposes only.

Marion Jones was once celebrated for her athletic achievements and known as the ‘fastest woman on the planet’, and quickly became a household name in the early 2000s, appearing on the covers of Time Magazine, Vogue–as the first black female athlete to ever grace the cover, and Sports Illustrated and securing millions in endorsement deals from major brands including Nike, Gatorade, and “Got Milk”. Though she never tested positive in any drug test, in 2007 Marion eventually confessed that she had lied about taking Performance Enhancing Drugs and was subsequently sentenced to six-months in jail.
