Paul Collin began his entrepreneurial journey at the age of 16, just two weeks after earning his driver’s license. He started by delivering pizzas, a job he continued until he eventually owned a Boston Pizza franchise, one of the most successful casual-dining brands in Canada. Fascinated by business, capitalism, and free enterprise from an early age, Paul pursued expertise in bookkeeping, generally accepted accounting principles, corporate law, and contract law.

This passion drove him to excel in his career, culminating in a role as a cost planner for a $425 million budget at Royal Dutch Shell Group, then the world’s largest publicly traded company. During his time there, Paul’s research uncovered evidence of what he described as corporate capture, or—at the very least—an economic super-entity that runs the world.
