Your instructor Paul C. Brunson
I’m a serial entrepreneur, television host, and columnist whose specialty lies in teaching others professional and social skills. An internationally recognized expert in interpersonal relationships, personal development, and entrepreneurship, I currently serve as a featured business columnist for USA Today, co-host of UK’s Celebs Go Dating, and Married at First Sight television shows, and host of the Better with Paul podcast and event series.
Major media outlets throughout the world, such as Good Morning America and The New York Times in the U.S., The Guardian, and Sunday Brunch in the UK, and The Jamaican Observer and TVJ in Jamaica have sought my insights on everything from finding love to pursuing an entrepreneurial passion.
The heart of my work is centered on impacting lives through mentorship and developing a new generation of servant-leaders with a desire to change the world. I am the founder and chair of “Give Love, Build Hope” – a non-profit organization dedicated to transforming schools in rural areas of the Caribbean. A proud second generation son of Jamaica, my greatest achievements are in his roles of husband and father. When I’m not serving the world, I’m serving my family – likely with a Red Stripe beer in one hand and a good book in the other.
