This one is special.

Today I sit down with Damon — mason, husband, father, grandfather, practical joker, former wild man, and one of the most layered humans I know. And we go all the way in.

We talk Southern California childhoods, family dynamics, racing cars, jail time, breaking cycles, faith, masonry, marriage, parenting, grandparenting — and what it really means to build something that lasts.

Damon’s life is a hero’s journey.

From reckless youth and wrecked cars to learning the permanence of stone… from chaos to craftsmanship… from running hard to surrendering to God. He shares what his childhood taught him, how Tahoe shaped him, why masonry is art, not just labor, and how faith became his foundation.

We unpack:

• The power of reading

• The refining fire of consequences

• Breaking generational cycles

• Marriage when it’s hard

• Parenting with discipline and grace

• Grandparenting with joy

• Prayer, music, prophets, and personal revelation

• Hearing God and walking the narrow path

• Why “everything works out for our good”

This episode is about legacy.

It’s about hammering on stone and hammering on your own heart.

It’s about becoming the kind of man who builds something that’s still standing long after he’s gone.

If you’ve ever wrestled with your past…
If you’ve ever needed redemption…
If you care about faith, family, and building something permanent…

This one’s for you.
