He's an entrepreneur, former fund manager and an undercover operative known for his role in rescuing trafficked children depicted in the film, The Sound of Freedom. Paul has had a non-typical journey, transitioning from a career in real estate asset management to dismantling some of the world's largest child sex trafficking rings. He sacrificed and risked an awful lot to try and stop some of the most evil people on the planet. And today we get to hear his story. Expect to learn what it was like to find an Epstein Island copycat, just how big of a problem global child trafficking is, who are the biggest consumers of child sex trafficking and material, how Paul got involved in Operation Underground Railroad, the most dangerous situations he found himself in, why The Sound of Freedom was so controversial for a non-political movie, and much more.

What is your background? Who are you?

**Paul Hutchinson** (4:36)
Well, I'm somewhat of a serial entrepreneur. Had a few, lots of failures and a few successes. I'm the founder, co-founder of Bridge Investment Group, $48 billion Assets Hunter Management. So it grew pretty well. Give all the credit to the team. People call me all the time, they say, Paul, I have a question about real estate. I say, I don't know anything about real estate. They're like, you're the founder of a multi-billion dollar real estate fund? I said, no, I know how to build teams. And I know how to have the vision from the beginning to create it. Fast forward, got recruited about 10 years ago to help on an undercover rescue mission, the one that is featured in the Sound of Freedom movie. My character is played by Eduardo Verasqui, I'm Pablo. I'm the fund manager who gets recruited to help fund the operation and play a role. And we can go deep into that. Since that time, I have led or played a key part in over 70 undercover rescue missions in 15 countries, retired from my job, focused full-time on philanthropy, zero social media for 10 years, came out just four months ago to share the stories and inspire people.
