Damon West

I didn't show any humility, but humility found me.

And it found me on that day in my trial.

And I tell you this, when you go through some big situation like that in life, and you don't have to go get sentenced to life in prison to have an upside down situation in life or a life altering event.

But when you go through a life altering event, you will find out who is in your corner and who is not.

And you will probably find out if you were like a guy, a guy like me, that you ran a lot of good people off and getting some of those people to believe in you again.

That is a long process.

That takes a lot of time.

My dad would tell me things like, you know, you earn trust by the spoonful and you lose it by the bucket full.

And on May 18, 2009, I dumped the whole bucket of trust out, man.

It was out there.

Damon West was a fraud.

He was a criminal.

He's a drug addict.

And Damon West got sentenced to life in prison.

Yeah.

And so, but just to answer the audience's like question that's on their mind right now, they're like, how is this guy sitting?

I mean, is he in a prison cell?

Did he escape?

No, they actually walked me out the gate one day in 2015.

I made parole.
