Damon found himself without a job, going through a difficult relationship break up and homeless all in a short space of time. He had hit rock bottom and could see no way out. He had to re-frame his thinking and get out of the dark place he's found himself in. 

When you're living out of your car and showering at the gym there's only one thing for it - make it a car camping adventure! That's what Damon did and spent his free time hiking and clearing his head until he managed to get back on track. 

Damon has a very positive outlook on life and the everyday struggles we all face. Listen out for some of his great motivational advice as he shares his story.

In this episode Damon refers to the following books - 

• First Rate Madness - Uncovering the Links Between Leadership and Mental Illness by Nassir Ghaemi 
• 7 Habits of High Effective People by Stephen Covey
• The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
