PAUL BRUNSON: Love and Vulnerability

The Book Of Firsts - A podcast by Emma Tindall - Thursdays

This weeks guest is celebrity dating guru, podcaster, match-maker and general all round legend, Paul Carrick Brunson.Despite being praised by Oprah Winfrey herself for his match making skills, and captivating the nation with his smooth talking advice on 'Celeb's Go Dating', Paul actually started out his career in the investment banking world.  His twenties were spent working for various billionaire's, travelling the world and trying to make as much money as humanly possible... However, realising this wasn't rewarding him emotionally, he found himself wanting more. Gripped with a desire to re-build black family structures and help people sustain healthy relationships, by 2009 Paul had founded onedegreefromme matchmaking and relationship coaching service. From here he has gone on to co-host several hit dating shows including Lovetown USA and Celebs go Dating and has published the infamous guide to dating ‘It’s Complicated but it doesn’t have to be’. Paul and I chat all things relationships, marriage, business, visualisation, self-love and acceptance, and learning that the ONLY person who can break you, is yourself. Our favourite Millennial Minesweeper quote this week was; 'Vulnerability isn’t about winning or losing. It’s having the courage to show up when you can’t control the outcome' - Brene Brown  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
