MEETINGS with Paul Rivera is a business-focused interview podcast hosted by Emmy Award–winning host, show creator, and entrepreneur Paul Rivera. Centered on the 0-to-1 moment in a person’s career, Paul explores the first real decision, break, or risk each guest made that set the foundation for everything they later became known for. This is not a success recap show. It is a practical, decision-driven conversation about early career inflection points: what guests did before anyone cared, how they evaluated risk, what they misunderstood, and what actually mattered versus what they thought mattered at the time.
