In this episode of the Find Your Influence Podcast, host Anton Guinea sits down with Damon DavisโAI strategist, healthcare innovator, and creator of the Who Am I Really? podcastโto explore how influence is shaped by both preparation and the deepest parts of our personal story. Damon shares how a โspontaneousโ keynote on stage was actually the result of a year of preparation, embodying his belief that โif you stay ready, you donโt have to get ready.โ He then opens up about the powerful and painful influence of his father, Willie Davis, who rose from poverty to a huge business success but ended his life broke and alone due to a lack of money and mentors. The conversation dives into Damonโs adoption and reunion journey, including the extraordinary discovery that his birth mother worked just three blocks away from him in Washington, DC, while he served under President Barack Obama. Motivated by the many adoptees whose experiences are far from โDisney endings,โ Damon created Who Am I Really? to amplify adoptee voices and tell the full, often complex truth about adoption, identity, and belonging.
