Damon West was a star quarterback. A Capitol Hill staffer. A Wall Street stockbroker. And then he became a meth addict leading a burglary ring in Dallas. That spiral landed him a 65-year prison sentence.
But prison didn't break Damon. It built him.
In this raw and transformational conversation with Stephen Scoggins, Damon shares how addiction, identity loss, and self-destruction gave way to surrender, faith, redemption, and purpose. He breaks down how he rewrote his story inside a prison cell and how you can rewrite yours too, no matter how dark your past is.
You’ll hear Damon talk about:
- The one mindset shift that changed everything
- Why “I need help” are the three most powerful words you can say
- How to escape the prison of your mind
- What it really means to be the Coffee Bean
- The truth about addiction, recovery, and real leadership
If you’ve ever felt stuck, ashamed, or like your mistakes define you—this episode will help you turn the page.
Damon West’s story isn’t just redemption. It’s a blueprint.
Listen. Reflect. And start writing your next chapter today.
