Pulling the Hell Out of Humanity: How One Man Traded His Empire for a Calling with Paul Hutchinson

What if the very things that made you successful were quietly destroying you from the inside out? Paul Hutchinson built a $50 billion empire, married an NFL cheerleader, and rescued thousands of children from trafficking — yet found himself emptier than ever. In this raw and remarkable conversation, he reveals how the same darkness he was fighting in others (arrogance, greed, and lust) had quietly taken root in his own heart. Dr. Beth sits down with entrepreneur, philanthropist, and child rescue advocate Paul Hutchinson — the real-life inspiration behind Sound of Freedom — for an unflinching conversation about transformation. Paul shares the story behind 70+ undercover rescue missions, the late-night phone call that began his journey of healing, and the powerful truth that we can't pull children out of hell until we pull the hell out of ourselves. What You'll Learn: Why the common thread among traffickers isn't what you'd expect — and what it reveals about unhealed trauma in all of us How generational and epigenetic trauma shapes us long before we're old enough to remember The science of neuroplasticity and why childhood wounds become so hard to heal as adults Why doing "good things" with the wrong motives can quietly destroy your life, marriage, and identity How to take a personal inventory of arrogance, greed, and lust — and what real healing actually requires Practical tools (breathwork, meditation, faith, self-defense, art therapy) for healing children and adults walking through trauma About Our Guest: Paul Hutchinson is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and the primary investor and executive producer of the film Sound of Freedom.

He is a recipient of the 2022 Medal of Freedom Award.
