The 1st Story

Hello and welcome. My name is Paul David Rouke, and as I say these words now, the time is 7:17pm, on Friday the 24th of January, 2025.

Earlier on today, God spoke to me, and He told me that I'm going to be creating and beginning to establish a new brand. The brand, this new way to speak to and to communicate to people across the earth, is called The Once Suicidal CEO.

I have already gone on to purchase the domain names theoncesuicidalceo.com, and .co.uk .

This what I'm sharing here, these words that I'm speaking by faith, this is going to be the first post and the first podcast episode for The Once Suicidal CEO.

There is no big business plan or business strategy behind this new brand, but what I'm just speaking now, I'm just speaking from my heart, having prayed before beginning to audio record using the incredible, divine app called OtterAI, an app that I've been using for over four years to audio record mainly messages that I've been speaking out, and then to get a 95 plus % accurate transcription ready to take that and to publish that online, and to take that into different formats.

So for this, I'm again using OtterAI, and by faith I'm just going to begin to share some of the things that God has placed upon my heart for this brand, and the vision for the brand, the mission for the brand, the purpose, the values.

I don't have anything written down in front of me. I'm just going to speak as I'm led as a man of absolute faith.

The vision that I'm just being led to speak out now, and whether this gets changed or refined moving forward, I don't yet know, but the vision that is upon my heart is a world where there are no CEOs and there is no-one in the C-Suite and in leadership positions within organizations of any size across the earth, that are sometimes battling with suicidal thoughts.

So the vision is the eradication of suicidal thoughts that have in the past led some people to do the unthinkable.

As I'm speaking these words now, thinking of the vision for The Once Suicidal CEO, I'm beginning to feel that it needs to be much shorter and more succinct.

No More Suicide.

No More Suicide.

The END of Suicide.

Wow.

Now, the mission for The Once Suicidal CEO.

Unmask Suicide.

Unmask The Root Cause Of Suicide.

Unmask The Root Cause Of Suicidal Thoughts.

Before the Holy Spirit gives me anything else in relation to the mission for The Once Suicidal CEO, now on to the values.

Humility.

Integrity.

Passion.

Positivity.

Open-mindedness.

The 21st century HIPPO.

H I P P O.

All glory to God.

Now, who is the target audience for the content that is going to start being produced and shared online through different social media channels, for The Once Suicidal CEO?

My initial thoughts as God began to reveal things to me earlier on today is that this brand and the content that is going to start being produced and shared, is specifically for men and women who are in a CEO position of any size company upon the earth.

That can be a focus for this brand, but then there are those who are in the C-Suite, any other senior executive position within every organization.

Every President.

Every Vice President.

Every Managing Director.

Every Operating Director.

Every Marketing Director.

Every Sales Director.

Every Financial Director.

There are then also Managers, Leaders, who may well be aspiring to move up the career ladder.

People who themselves aspire to be a CEO themselves one day.

Then there are also those who maybe don’t have any particular title of seniority or management within an organisation, but they themselves have aspirations to become a Manager, a Leader, a Director, an Entrepreneur, a Managing Director. A CEO.

There are teenagers who are going through school, college, university, men and women in their late teenage years, early 20s, who are aspiring to become an entrepreneur, to become a leader, to become a CEO, in time.

With the kind of stories that are going to be getting shared on The Once Suicidal CEO, the target audience is, on the one hand, specific to those leading companies and organizations, but then on another hand, the target audiences are people across the earth

I give God all the Glory, all the praise and all the honor for every man, every woman, of every age who will come to know about The Once Suicidal CEO, and who will be impacted in some way, for many people in a life-changing way, by reading or listening to the stories that are going to start being shared.

God has already revealed to me that the content on the website won't always just be content of me speaking directly and personally from experience.

God has revealed that in time I will begin interviewing other CEOs, people in senior leadership positions, aspiring Entrepreneurs, so that there will be other stories from other people, where they will be sharing their own personal struggles and battles with their mental health, which can so often lead people to a place where they may struggle sometimes with suicidal thoughts.

God has already revealed that there are going to be podcasts on different outlets, particularly Spotify and Apple podcasts.

Content from The Once Suicidal CEO will be published on my personal LinkedIn page and on my X social media account.

This brand, The Once Suicidal CEO, is the Lord's brand.

This website is the Lord's website.

The content is the Lord's content.

I give God all the glory, praise and honor for saving my life when the devil was whispering to me and telling me to jump off a balcony in Vancouver, Canada, to commit suicide, to leave behind my wife and at the time, our two young daughters.

I thank God for saving my life that day, years before I had the revelation of Jesus Christ.

I thank God for EVERYONE upon the earth who may have been or who may currently as I speak these words be struggling and battling with suicidal thoughts, who are going to be set free and will no longer, in any way, battle with those dark, destructive, demonic thoughts and feelings that they can't go on any longer.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life, and no-one can come to the Father except through Him.

Jesus Christ is our healer. He is the only one that can heal us from any pain and any trauma and any suffering that we may have gone through during our life, going all the way back to our early formative years.

Jesus Christ is our healer.

Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace, and I finish this first opening story for The Once Suicidal CEO by praying for everyone who will either be listening to these words or reading these words, and I pray that God will reveal to you your divine purpose upon the earth, as a fellow disciple of Jesus Christ, and I pray that Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, comes and makes His home in your Heart, and that your roots grow deep down in Him.

And finally, for the one under the sound of my voice or reading these words, may the peace of God, which surpasses all our understanding, guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus.

All glory, all praise and all honor to God Almighty.

In Jesus, name, I pray.

Amen.

Agape, Paul
