196. Self-rejection to self-love, with author Kevin Hutchison

This week I have an inspiring conversation with Kevin Hutchison, a newly published author and wonderful person I worked with in my author program, Nonfiction Book School. We talk about his unique path from pastor to marketing professional, with a journey from self-rejecting into self-love. Kevin was inspired to share his story through his upcoming book, Alchemy from Ashes: Bringing My Shattered Faith, Mental Health, and Sexuality into Wholeness. We also explore the roadblocks he encountered during the writing process and how he was able to move through them.Writing and publishing a book alone is difficult, and creative work can be a slow, nonlinear process. We discuss how Kevin surrounded himself with key people who helped him bring his book to life and how their contributions impacted the final product.Kevin Hutchison is a marketing professional and former pastor, whose talent and expertise have been leveraged in both profit and not-for-profit organizations. He has worked for national and global agencies, held tenure in communications with a Midwestern mega-church, and has served on boards such as the American Marketing Association and RESPECT, an education-and theater-based anti-bullying nonprofit.Learn more about Kevin:WebsiteLinkedInBook recommendation: Greenlights, by Mathew McConaugheyFollow me on:Instagram @stacyennisFacebook @stacyenniscreativeLinkedInYouTube @stacyennisauthorTo submit a question, email [email protected] or visit http://stacyennis.com/contact and fill out the form on the page.
