What if the moment you thought your life was over became the moment it truly began?

Damon West was handed a life sentence in a Texas prison—but instead of letting it break him, he became something few dare to dream of behind bars: a force for hope and redemption!

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your own “prison”—whether that’s addiction, depression, shame, or simply a life that feels off-track—this episode is for you. Damon’s story isn’t just about surviving hardship; it’s about transforming it into purpose. If you're ready to stop being a prisoner of your past and start becoming an agent of change, you’ll find something powerful here.

In this gripping and hope-filled episode, which was originally published on May 6, 2025 as episode 390, Kevin Lowe sits down with Damon West—a former Division I quarterback turned meth addict, convicted felon, and now, one of the most in-demand motivational speakers in the world. Sentenced to 65 years in a Texas maximum-security prison, Damon could have become hardened by the system. Instead, through a single conversation with a fellow inmate and a lesson involving a coffee bean, Damon found the inner power to transform not just himself—but the entire prison culture around him.

This is a story of radical accountability, transformation, faith, and the kind of hope that refuses to be silenced—even behind bars. Most importantly, this is a conversation that holds the power to be the spark needed to ignite a change in your own life. Listen once, twice, maybe even three times.... What you are about to hear today is everything.

PRESS PLAY NOW to discover how one man’s rock bottom became a global message of hope, healing, and redemption.
