Damon West

Back in the courtroom and they read my sentence out loud.

Damon Joseph West, you are hereby sentenced to 65 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

Mick, 65 years in the state of Texas is a life sentence in the state of Texas.

Mick, I appreciate you, brother.

Thanks for your time today.

I love that introduction.

We got to go on the road together, brother.

That was good.

Brother, I appreciate you.

I love you too, man.

I appreciate that.

Yeah, I think that human beings are capable of way more than they think they are.

And I think a lot of times we allow overthinking to get in the way of overcoming.

But as we're going to hear from this story, I put myself in a situation, because I did.

I put myself in the situation I was in

where I had my back against the wall and the pressure was so high on me and I had to figure it out.

There's a question I ran across recently and that's actually the first question, it's actually the first sentence of my new book.

The question is this, if someone took control of your life tomorrow, what's the first thing they would change?

Now, the reason why that question struck a chord with me, yeah, if someone took control of your life tomorrow, what's the first thing that would change?

The trick is, you already know the answer to the question, right?
