This week, I chat with Paul Hutchinson, former private equity founder who managed billions in assets and left the finance world to go undercover and rescue trafficked children around the world.

In this episode, Paul shares how a single phone call from the Attorney General changed everything—leading him to pose as a wealthy investor to infiltrate trafficking rings and rescue 54 kids in one mission alone. We dive deep into the dark reality of how trafficking actually works, why most perpetrators were victims themselves, and how Paul discovered that rescues alone aren't enough. He opens up about hitting rock bottom despite managing billions in assets, finding his true purpose through plant medicine healing retreats, and why he believes the only sustainable solution is healing humanity at its core. Paul also reveals the real story behind Hollywood's 5-year resistance to releasing "Sound of Freedom" (which he executive produced), and shares his counterintuitive approach to scaling from 10x to 1000x success through divine co-creation and deep listening. This conversation will challenge everything you think you know about success, purpose, and what it really takes to create lasting change in the world.
