Don’t worry, I already know what you’re thinking. The polar vortex has you questioning why your risk your life the in the treacherous city streets, just to go to a job you hate. If this is you, I’m sure it wouldn’t take too much convincing to get you to leave your job.
But what if you have a good job? What if you work for a billionaire and travel across the world? What if you have a fancy degree that everyone thinks you should be using? How easy would it be to leave then?
In this episode, we’ll meet someone who was in that exact same position, Paul Brunson. Paul, a.k.a. the Modern Day Hitch, left a lucrative finance job to create a business as a matchmaker and he hasn’t looked back since.
In this episode of Movers & Shakers here’s what we’ll cover:
- The life experiences that led him to become a matchmaker

- Specific steps to building a business around your passion
- What he’s learned from working for two billionaires
- His current favorite social media tool, and what he thinks will be the next big thing

- And much more!
Advice From Paul Brunson
- Find a mentor. See out successful people in your industry and ask them as many questions as you can.
- Don’t dabble. Go all in. You can’t expect 100% results from 50% effort.
- Read. There is a treasure trove of information from successful people at your fingertips. You can learn their secrets for less than it would cost to take them to lunch.
