What is a Podcast and How Does it Work? : Using Your Podcast as an Author, an Interview with Deshaun Williams pt. 2
In the last episode author and Leadership Coach, Deshaun Williams spoke with us about the very sensitive subject of suicide prevention through writing. In that interview, he gave us an account of his own experience with suicidal thoughts and how he overcame them and wrote his book The Greatness Within. (https://www.amazon.com/Greatness-Within-DeShaun-Williams/dp/B09LGLMZZS/)
This week we are continuing our conversation with Deshaun Williams. I noticed during my talk with him that he was extremely enthusiastic about podcasting. That's when I decided it was time to help other authors explore, what is a podcast and how does it work.
Deshaun Williams Breaks Down for us How He Uses His Podcast Analytics and More
Deshaun Williams is no stranger to podcasts. In fact, he has one of his own called Dose of Empowerment (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dose-of-empowerment/id1577102449) in which he encourages leadership in young men. Deshaun's Podcast knowledge of branding and analytics is extremely helpful to other podcasters and we will dive into that in this interview with him. As a reminder, Deshaun is featured in Volume 1 of GEMS Magazine (https://www.amazon.com/GEMS-Godly-Entrepreneurs-Marketers-February-ebook/dp/B09P1SL13B/) giving us insight into how to get your podcast show distributed to Amazon Music and Pandora.

Creating Characters for Black History : An Interview with Author Matasa Davis
Author Matasa Davis helps us close out Black History Month 2022 with his book Highly Questionable Inspirational Tidbits: The Honorable Professor Rylo G. Gump (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09MYTNPZ9/).
Matasa has uniquely created a fictional character named Rlylo G. Gump who delivers life advice mixed with satire. He began using the character when he was invited to his old high school to teach Black History facts. As an author Matasa is fully committed to this character. He even dons a wig and faux mustache on the cover and in videos where the character Rylo shows up.
Matasa Davis has one of the more unique genres of books out there. He says his books are perfect for the coffee table, which I agree. I can definitely see them being given out as gifts. Matasa has started the gifting process by adding smiles to the faces of friends, family, and aspiring poets and writers with what he calls his love project.
"I don't care if I end up giving away more books than I sell, I did it for the love."~Matasa Da Poet Davis
One thing is for sure Matasa's interesting way of delivering Black History will never be dull to the young or old.
You can connect with Matasa Davis on all platforms under his social media handle Matasa Da Poet Davis
