Here is part 1 of an INCREDIBLE conversation with Damon West, co-author with Jon Gordon of the Wall Street Journal best-selling book, The Coffee Bean: A simple Lesson to Create Positive Change.

At 20 years old, Damon West was a Division 1 starting quarterback at the University of North Texas, when he suffered a career-ending injury. Unfortunately, Damon turned to hard-core drugs to cope with life’s disappointments. After graduation, he worked in Congress, was a national fundraiser on a U.S. Presidential campaign, and eventually trained to be a stockbroker for UBS. One day at UBS, he was introduced to meth and was instantly hooked.

Damon’s drug addiction led him to a life sentence in prison.

What was prison like on day 1? How does someone survive prison? How did he get caught by the SWAT team? And, on a lighter side, which prison movie got it right?
