In this powerful episode of The Contagious Culture Podcast, Kyle King sits down with Damon Watson, a Harvard-educated attorney whose journey defies every expectation. Once on top of the world, Damon fell into addiction, lost his career, and found himself homeless and behind bars. But instead of letting his past define him, he rebuilt his life from the inside out—spiritually, mentally, and emotionally.

Today, Damon uses his story to mentor inmates, restore dignity to the forgotten, and remind the world that redemption is always possible. This conversation explores what it really means to start over, how shame can evolve into strength, and why grace is often the most contagious form of culture there is. If you’ve ever hit rock bottom or watched someone you love fight to rise again, this is the story you need to hear.
