Scott F. Paradis
Scott Paradis has spent his entire life asking one fundamental question: "What's really going on?" After 30-plus years of mastering military strategy, leading dynamic organizations, and navigating Pentagon politics as a colonel in the U.S. Army, Scott has earned the right to say he's "seen some stuff." Now, he's on a mission to unravel the chaos, confusion, and complexities of modern life and share what's really behind the curtain.
A native of New Hampshire—where people know how to keep it real—Scott traded the serene Lakes Region for the whirlwind of military adventures, including strategic communications at the Pentagon, Congressional Fellow on Capitol Hill, and challenging missions from Iraq to the Balkans. Despite collecting shiny accolades like the Legion of Merit and Bronze Star, Scott’s most valuable lessons came from navigating the minefields of human behavior and organizational dysfunction.
Retired from active military service, Scott is passionately dedicated to helping people cut through the noise to see clearly what's happening in our rapidly changing world. His latest course, What's Really Going On? Apocalypse or Evolution? isn't just about survival—it's about thriving amid chaos, making sense of global upheaval, and finding practical, hopeful paths forward.
Scott has authored eleven books (because clearly, he has a lot to say), covering topics ranging from prosperity consciousness to leadership and societal dynamics. When he’s not teaching or writing, Scott might be found exploring the wilds of Alaska with his golden doodle, Rusty, debating existential questions with anyone who will listen, or lamenting why people don't use their turn signals.
With degrees from Central Michigan University and the University of New Hampshire—and having sharpened his skills as a National Security Fellow at Harvard’s JFK School of Government—Scott blends humor, insight, and an insatiable curiosity to help learners wake up, wise up, and rise up.
Join Scott in his quest to understand what’s really going on.
