  • What Serving 7 Years in Prison Taught Damon West About Communication

    What Serving 7 Years in Prison Taught Damon West About Communication
    Jun 24 2025
    Today’s episode is one of the wildest, most powerful comeback stories you’ll ever hear. Damon West was sentenced to 65 years in a Texas prison. Let that sink in. And yet—through mindset, service, and intentional communication—he not only turned his life around but went on to inspire thousands with his message of being a “coffee bean.” We talk about the power of how you speak to yourself (not just listen), how to lead with service, and how one conversation can truly change the direction of your entire life.

Since the very first reel I saw of Jefferson on Instagram I was hooked on his advice.
Jefferson answers a lot of questions I’ve had in my mind about how to handle certain situations or people. He delivers the information in such a way that I completely understand, relate with and have even found ways to apply in my life.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and nature with the rest of us Jefferson. Your voice has now got a place in my mind that will help me in those situations I previously did not know how to approach. The world is a better place with you in it and I wish you success and happiness!

I came across your posts on instagram and have been hooked ever since. I blurt out responses and continue to talk and talk and talk. Taking a breath is the key for me, it’s my first word, a breath, what a revelation. My brain runs at a million miles an hour, late diagnosis of ADHD has given me clarity about the way I communicate. Your podcasts are perfect for me, your clear and use simple language and techniques. I fill silence with fluff, I’m going to practice getting comfortable with silence. Thank you, you have made a huge difference to my life

I love the way Jefferson breaks each episode down into a specific thing to tackle, giving examples and actionable tips to use.

Thanks for your expertise and insights Jefferson, I really think this stuff is life changing whilst being mainly small, simple changes!

I can't wait to see how much more confident I feel in some of these situations now.

In fact, I used a few of your tips in a business networking session this morning, and also passed some of your tips on to other local small business owners to help them too!

The ripple effect of this work is mind blowing. You rock 🥳🍾🍻
