Hello,I'm Paul.


 I work with socially conscious entrepreneurs and organizations as a mentor to help them build their business and brand. I understand the importance of following one's passion, living on purpose, and making an impact in a heart-centered way.

As an entrepreneur my whole life, I've walked in similar shoes and know the challenges and triumphs you face. With over 20 years of leadership and consulting experience, I love supporting visionary change-makers and individuals to realize their full potential.

My expertise spans driving growth across diverse industries and championing social causes that truly matter. I've facilitated over $7B in spending between iconic brands, top-tier agencies, and AdTech companies, and helped raise more than $150M for non-profits through innovative initiatives. I have also won international awards for design, branding and was nominated for a national entrepreneur awards by age 25.

All of this sounds great right? But what I found TRULY fills me up is creating change in the world and helping my clients make the biggest impact possible...I love seeing them WIN! Be it in sustainable living, healing retreats, advocating for mental health, or anything in-between my passion lies in supporting causes that matter.

I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I bring a wealth of experience, having done a few things right and learned from many mistakes along the way. As a mentor, I share my experiences and knowledge to support and guide you. I love helping brands and entrepreneurs tell their story, capturing the essence of their purpose and what they are here to do on this earth. It's about you and your journey, and I'm here to help you turn your vision into reality.

If you share a passion for making a lasting impact, let's collaborate. I understand that for you, it's more than just a business—it's a calling and a purpose. I love working with heart-and-soul entrepreneurs who are driven to make a difference. With gratitude, humility, curiosity, and playfulness, I'm committed to guiding you every step of the way to achieve your goals and make a significant impact.



I believe making a difference is more important than making a fortune


I am dedicated to empowering socially conscious organizations, nonprofits, and change-makers to make a lasting impact on society by utilizing my extensive experience and passion for social good. I have a proven track record of successfully partnering with clients who share the same values and my niche is helping these types of organizations and individuals achieve their goals to make a real impact in the world.

impact & testimonials

"You made our passion and dreams a reality!"

" We at the Allied Charitable Foundation want to thank Paul Puzanoski and his amazing team at Creation Republic for making our passion and dreams a reality!  The Allied Charitable Foundation is a registered non-profit society dedicated to providing an offering of healing through hosting retreats for Veterans and First Responders suffering with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.  When we began this journey,  we truly did not know how we were going to achieve our goal of helping as many people dealing with PTSD as we can. 

When Paul and his team came on board amazing results were seen in record time.  Online invitation systems were generated, spread sheets and databases were created and populated with data that provided a very professional package to our clients.  The team at CR worked tirelessly and brought with them connections to a plethora of amazing human beings that dedicate their lives to helping other people heal.  In May, 2019 the Allied Charitable Foundation was able to host our inaugural healing retreat on Quadra Island, BC.  As a result of Paul’s work, some amazing healing was able to happen for several participants. 

The bottom line is that without the incredible work of Paul and his team we would never have been able to provide such a complete, professional and powerful experience for our participants! The results from our first retreat were so successful that we have engaged the services of CR, multiple times! We look forward to a long and rewarding relationship as we continue to host retreats and give a little back to those that have sacrificed so much!  Thank you CR!!!"

"WUB was a weekend I will not forget"

WUB was a weekend I will not forget. Not only does the staff consider all travel, dining and lodging logistics they also plan for the aesthetics of the workshop rooms. The views from the mediation rooms were stunning! The itinerary included the perfect amount of a variety to be interesting, but not overwhelming. Plus, the event was wisely planned with repeating sessions so attendees could take full advantage of almost all of the classes. Personally, I struggle with stress and I got some practical tools from several of the teachers and speakers. Most importantly, the positive energy and openness within this group of outstanding humans made me feel instantly welcome and comfortable. Everyone was mingling and enjoying the experience and I attribute this to the kind and loving nature of the leader of WUB, Paul. Thank you and I look forward to your events in the near future. "

"Truly has a unique combination of expertise"

As a former Global CMO, I can confidently say that the team at Creation Republic is top-notch. I've had the pleasure of working with Paul and the team for the last few years and they have completely transformed my events with their out-of-this-world event planning capabilities and unique knowledge of the wellness space. Thanks to Creation Republic, my events have been huge successes. In addition, Paul has been my go-to person for designing brand identity, logo strategy, web builds and other marketing related services. Paul's amazing eye for design adds the perfect touch to everything he works on. He truly has a unique combination of expertise and I highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking to elevate their event or business to the next level.”

"As a paramedic newly diagnosed with PTSD...

the treatment and healing options were overwhelming. I was invited to the inaugural retreat on Quadra Island for veterans and first responders, it was perfect timing. A small group of passionate, caring, and knowledgeable leaders guided workshops in healing drums, meditation, breath work, and yoga. There was so much camaraderie and trust that developed between the participants. It was a safe space to be vulnerable and to let others hear your story. It also gave me a good opportunity to listen to other people who were in similar situations to me. There is something profound when you realize that you are not alone. The organizers were professional and well versed in healing retreats. I do not hesitate to recommend this type of retreat put on by this incredible team. First responders and veterans, with PTSD or not, would greatly benefit from a weekend of this nature."

“Paul and the team went above and beyond”

I did not know what to expect going into this summit, and I was blown away. Being a natural "sceptic" I never experienced this kind of thing, so I went in with an open mind. I have never been so overwhelmed with emotion from a single event. Paul and the WUB team went above and beyond bringing the best in the field together for an incredible weekend of healing, community, and wellness. 10/10 would recommend to wellness enthusiasts and "normal folk" alike. What a cool experience!

If you are called to join in on a conscious weekend full of connection, workshops, thought provoking speakers in a high vibe location, please consider joining me. This event is going to evolve into pure heart opening awareness for all those who attend and support. Thank you. Paul, you are a shining light and the passion you put into making visions a reality is inspiring.
