Damon West: 我从小在德克萨斯州长大,曾是明星四分卫,拥有奖学金进入大学橄榄球队。然而,在20岁时,我遭遇了事业的低谷,开始沉迷于毒品,最终流落街头,成为一名瘾君子,并参与了犯罪活动。2008年,我被捕入狱,面临终身监禁。在狱中,我遇到了一位狱友,他向我讲述了‘咖啡豆’的比喻:在沸水中,胡萝卜会变软,鸡蛋会变硬,而咖啡豆则会改变沸水,变成咖啡。这个比喻让我意识到,我可以选择改变自己,而不是被环境所改变。我开始积极改变自己,在狱中努力改造,最终在2015年获得假释。出狱后,我努力推广‘咖啡豆’哲学,通过演讲分享我的故事,激励他人。起初,我四处碰壁,但最终在克莱姆森大学橄榄球教练Dabo Sweeney的帮助下,我的演讲事业获得了成功,并出版了书籍《咖啡豆》。我的故事证明,只要有内在的力量,就能克服任何困难,改变人生。 Cole: 作为主持人,Cole引导Damon West讲述了他的个人经历,并就‘咖啡豆’哲学的实践方法以及如何克服生活中的挑战与Damon West进行了深入的探讨。Cole 的提问和引导,帮助观众更好地理解Damon West的故事和‘咖啡豆’哲学的精髓。
