He wanted people to know the real Michael Jackson. When he met Yusuf Jah, a published author, he was inspired to write a book where Jackson actually \u2018told his own story.\u2019 \u201cMichael Jackson: The Real Story\u201d (ISBN: 978-1732181397), co-authored by Wiesner and Jah and published by Kingdomedia, is the result of that desire. It gives readers a firsthand account of what Jackson was really like along with some astonishing plans he had in the works \u2013 plans that he hoped would change the world.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/20-0624s2p-mj-real-story-696x522.jpg\" alt=\"BOOK: Michael Jackson: The Real Story\" width=\"696\" height=\"522\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-60761\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/20-0624s2p-mj-real-story-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/20-0624s2p-mj-real-story-696x522-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><br \/>\nThrough a series of narratives and numerous previously unreleased voicemail messages, readers and listeners now have access to new information that provides a deeper insight into the visionary, business man, father and family man. They\u2019ll gain a greater breadth of understanding regarding what Jackson really hoped to achieve in what he thought remained of his life.<\/p>\n<p>Wiesner\u2019s collection of Jackson\u2019s personal data is impressive. He spent years traveling and living with him so the information he has to share is invaluable in so many ways. He wants people to know Jackson the way he did.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis memory, his legacy and his dear family all deserve to hear the perspective of someone who was around him and who he trusted within his inner circle,\u201d Wiesner says. \u201cHe shared things with me that he shared with no one else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to publishing audio technology, readers will get to hear the \u201cKing of Pop\u201d talk about everything from making business acquisitions and partnering with Disney and Marvel Comics to create a universe of entertainment that would rival any other. He wanted to see more people of color in the board room and hoped to inspire that to happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSadly, his life was cut short and he was never able to carry out these second phase-of-life plans that would have made him one of the wealthiest people on the planet,\u201d Wiesner says. \u201cHis plans could have affected not just pop culture, but the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to messages about business ventures, the human side of Jackson is touched on too \u2013 the one that yearned to have a simpler life where he could do everyday things without being held accountable to millions. Going out for a pizza or sipping a soda for most are non-eventful moments. For Jackson, they were unforgettable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope this book resurrects the spirit of Jackson,\u201d Jah says. \u201cHe\u2019s no longer part of the physical world, but his passion and desire to implement change certainly is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMichael Jackson: The Real Story\u201d is currently available on Audible, Apple Books, Barnes &amp; Noble and more. It\u2019s available as an audio book, in print (with audio transcripts) and as an ebook.<\/p>\n<p>Get a book preview and hear some of Jackson\u2019s voicemail messages here: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/QydK7GP1JZg\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/QydK7GP1JZg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To order a copy on Apple Books: <a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/michael-jackson-the-real-story\/id1478133448?ls=1\">https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/michael-jackson-the-real-story\/id1478133448?ls=1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>(Review Copies available upon request).<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Authors <\/strong><br \/>\nDieter Wiesner has more than 20 years of professional business and talent management experience.
