Suicide Prevention Through Writing with Deshaun Williams: Plus Amazon Best Seller Advice

Author and Leadership Coach Deshaun Williams talks to us about the very sensitive subject of suicide prevention through writing. In this interview, he gives us an account of his own experience with suicidal thoughts and how he overcame them and wrote his book The Greatness Within.  During our interview, Deshaun revealed to me that he would like to become a best seller. That inspired me to give him an impromptu consultation on techniques I've used to become an Amazon Best Seller in my genre.  Deshaun Williams is no stranger to podcasts. In fact, he has one of his own called Dose of Empowerment in which he encourages leadership in young men. Deshaun's Podcast knowledge on branding and analytics is extremely helpful to other podcasters and we will dive into that in a subsequent interview with him coming soon. He's also featured in Volume 1 of  GEMS Magazine giving us insight into how to get your podcast show distributed to Amazon Music and Pandora.  If you'd like to connect with Deshaun Williams you can do so on his Instagram account at https://www.instagram.com/itsdeshaunwilliams or on his website at www.leadershipempowerment.net Books by LaMonique Mac mentioned in this interview Overcoming Anxiety in The Hood and Cupcakes & Poetry 7 Life Lessons  ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ If you're an author interested in being a guest on Dropping GEMS make sure you're signed up on my email list, so you can be first in the know, when I call out for guests.
