Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to DeShaun Williams. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi DeShaun, thanks for joining us today. Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?
The Mission behind my business “DeShaun Williams Industries, LLC” is anything less than simple, but I can say that it is very impactful. In September 2018, I actually tried to take my own life, because I felt like their wasn’t a purpose in my life, and everything seemed to falling apart around me, such as my school life, relationship, friendships, and even my work life. When I got off work, I thought to myself “You know this will be the final time someone sees me, because they won’t miss me when I’m gone.” However the attempt failed, and I went to sleep crying, because I didn’t know what to do, I was later put in the hospital by my church to receive treatment, and then while I was in there, I was diagnosed with major depression, and was told that I wouldn’t be able to achieve success like those who suffer from minor, and mild depression, when I was told that, it lit a fire within me because I said to myself “What about all the others who were written off, and not given a choice” so I decided that I would be the voice for the voiceless, and since that day in 2018, I have spoken on resilience, bouncing back, and mental health because it was something that I had to do when I was originally written off by medical staff.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
I’ve had the privilege of building a fairly decent and engaged audience on various social media platforms. My journey began several years ago when I first started sharing my passions and interests on Instagram.
At first, I struggled to gain traction and attract followers. But I quickly realized that consistency was key. I started posting regularly and interacting with other users by commenting and liking their content. By consistently showing up and engaging with my audience, I was able to slowly but steadily grow my following.
Another important factor in building my audience was authenticity. I made a conscious effort to be my true self and share my passions and interests genuinely. I found that when I was authentic, my audience was more engaged and supportive.
Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?
As a business owner in a highly competitive market, I have found that being authentic, resilient, and using my voice have been instrumental in building my reputation and establishing a loyal customer base.
From the beginning, I made a conscious effort to be true to myself and my values. This meant being honest about my strengths and weaknesses, and admitting when I didn’t have all the answers. By being authentic, I was able to build trust with my clients and create long-lasting relationships.
Another key factor in building my reputation has been resilience. As a business owner, I have faced numerous challenges and setbacks. But instead of giving up, I have used these experiences as opportunities to learn and grow. By bouncing back from adversity, I have gained the respect of my clients and peers, and have demonstrated my ability to overcome obstacles and deliver results.
Finally, using my voice has been essential in building my reputation within my market. By sharing my thoughts and insights on social media, through public speaking engagements, and in industry publications, I have been able to establish myself as a thought leader and expert in my field. By sharing my expertise and offering value to my audience, I have been able to attract new clients and strengthen my relationships with existing ones.
In today’s crowded marketplace, authenticity, resiliency, and using your voice are more important than ever. By being true to yourself, bouncing back from adversity, and sharing your expertise with others, you can establish yourself as a trusted authority within your industry, and build a reputation that will stand the test of time.
