▶ WATCH Damon West
The Distinctive Factor: Damon is the gold standard for turning adversity into advantage. From a Division 1 QB to a life sentence in a maximum-security prison, to a Wall Street Journal best-selling author, his "Coffee Bean" philosophy is the go-to resilience framework for NCAA Champions and Fortune 500 companies.
▶ WATCH Nate Johnson
The Distinctive Factor: Nate has built what others only theorize about. As the co-founder of multiple reentry organizations, he understands what actually works on the ground—not just in theory, but in real communities with real constraints. He bridges the gap between policy and practice.
▶ WATCH Lester Young, Jr.
The Distinctive Factor: Lester doesn't just share his story—he equips your audience with structured, proven frameworks they can immediately apply. As the author of The 5 Stages of Incarceration and a Certified DISC Trainer, he provides a tactical roadmap for transforming adversity into advantage.
▶ WATCH Adam Clausen
The Distinctive Factor: Adam operates at the intersection of lived experience and executive leadership. His testimony before the U.S. Sentencing Commission and Congressional staff gives him credibility in policy circles, while his Director-level role means he speaks the language of organizational change.
▶ WATCH Dr. Andrisse
The Distinctive Factor: Dr. Andrisse bridges the gap between the cell block and the laboratory. By combining lived experience with advanced academic and advocacy expertise, he offers audiences actionable frameworks for education, reentry, and systemic transformation.
