Damon is a renowned keynote speaker and best-selling author, known for his extraordinary journey from a jail cell to global stages. He emerged from a life marked by property crimes, notably as the leader of a group of meth addicts involved in burglary. Determined to turn his life around, Damon invested in himself and leveraged a Beverly Hills publicist to secure a People Magazine article, catapulting him into the spotlight.
Damon and his wife's journey led them to create the "Be the Change Prison Curriculum," a program Damon passionately funds. This initiative sees 30 men graduate every four months in remarkable ceremonies that inspire change within the prison system. Dan's mission is to show inmates and their families what success looks like and provide them with hope for a brighter future. He also shares a powerful message about resilience and transformation inspired by his experience with the criminal justice system.
