Damon Samuria has overcome adversity on many fronts, including surviving the rage of a father whose outrageous expectations he very nearly met. That adversity is woven into his story: it's the story of a very smart dude who's been successful at virtually everything he's undertaken... Of course, some of those endeavors - like building a $250K/week illegal marijuana business - were admittedly dumb decisions. Another paradox lay in his moral compass, work ethic, kind soul, and sense of loyalty...attributes that served him so well that after his 11-month stint behind bars he was offered a safer, cushier "executive role" - in the crime syndicate with which he was affiliated.
