His contributions to music and arts education are not limited to these institutions. Dr. Williams is the proud founder of Speak Life Academy of Arts and Music, a 501c3 organization designed to become a charter school holder. He also established Speak Life LLC, a consulting firm promoting gospel and American music abroad. Both these entities symbolize his enduring dedication to making a positive global impact through music. However, Dr. Williams' remarkable achievements didn't come easy. When asked about the secret to his thriving career, he unequivocally emphasized one thing: discipline. Dr. Williams believes discipline is a spiritual gift, permeating every aspect of life. Discipline, he insists, nurtures the fruit of our labor, and without it, we cannot be good stewards of our gifts and talents.
Whether it’s about waking up early, practicing delayed gratification, or remaining focused, discipline is the one constant. This wisdom is what he prays for and advocates for others: "If you're seeking anything, seek discipline." Apart from his devotion to education and discipline, Dr. Williams is an
acclaimed music producer. The recent Stellar Award win for the Potter’s House is a testament to his impact in the music industry. The award-winning project "Finally Loosed," served as a commemoration of the conclusion of Woman Thou Art Loosed, a 30-year old initiative by Bishop Jakes that started as a Bible study and grew massively over the years.
