Damon Dunn is a former NFL wide receiver, Stanford scholar, powerhouse entrepreneur, and a man who never forgot where he came from. Raised by his grandparents in a trailer with ten people, Damon grew up boiling bathwater on the stove, eating mayonnaise sandwiches, and sleeping three to a bed. Today, he’s a successful CEO, real estate developer, founder of multiple businesses, and a leader committed to serving those facing the same uphill battles he once did.

In this conversation, Damon shares how watching a Dallas Cowboys game as an 8-year-old boy sparked a vision that carried him out of poverty and into a life of purpose. He opens up about growing up without his parents, losing family members to prison, and the hope that carried him through. He talks candidly about the identity crisis that followed his NFL career, how he rebuilt his career from the ground up, and the leadership values that continue to guide him as a father, CEO, and difference-maker.

Do you think beautiful things can grow out of horrible events?

Recently, I was introduced to a young man who exudes a youthful, happy energy, and whose mission in life-despite being rooted in an experience that is anything but—filled me with joy. Let me explain.

Sister Monica Clare is a nun, author, and the Superior at the Community of St. John Baptist, an Episcopal convent in New Jersey. And yet, she didn’t answer the call to religious life until age 46, after a failed marriage, a successful career and years spent searching for where she truly belonged.

Today, Sister Monica shares what it was like to grow up in chaos, endure a painful marriage to an atheist, and journey from comedy clubs and ad agencies to the quiet rhythms of convent life. With honesty and heart, she opens up about faith, imposter syndrome, resilience, and how even a moment in Walmart can become holy ground when you’re listening for God’s voice. Her story is packed with pain, humor, and sacred surprises.

My friends, if you’ve ever felt stuck, behind, or unworthy of a fresh start, this conversation is for you. You’ll walk away reminded that healing is possible, calling can come later, and there is beauty in becoming.
