Today’s guest is someone who bridges two fascinating worlds — the precision of architecture and the imagination of speculative fiction. Paul Vecchiet is a successful architect and the author of The Disclosure Paradox, a thought-provoking novel that explores what happens when truth, secrecy, and discovery collide on a cosmic scale.

In this episode, we talk about the paradox at the heart of his book, how architecture and storytelling overlap, and why science fiction isn’t just about the future — it’s about understanding ourselves.

Paul G. Vecchiet is an author whose speculative fiction explores the intersection of U.S. government cover-ups, extraterrestrial phenomena, spirituality, and the future of humanity. Through his writing, Paul encourages readers to explore hidden truths and imagine new realities. A U.S. government civilian and former U.S. Air Force Civil Engineering Officer, Paul draws from real-life experiences in his novel, The Disclosure Paradox.

Inspired by transformative meditation experiences in 2009, the novel incorporates elements of Paul’s personal journey, including the discovery of a hidden underground space at a large secure military facility, into his storytelling. The Disclosure Paradox has garnered high praise on Amazon and Goodreads, with its revised February 2025 edition offering readers a thought-provoking exploration of discovery and intrigue.

Born in Italy, Paul immigrated to the United States as a child, where a rich blend of cultural influences and professional accomplishments shaped his life. After earning a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Illinois, Chicago, he served as a Civil Engineering Officer in the United States Air Force. His assignments across Washington, the Azores, Ohio, and Japan informed both his professional expertise and his globally reflective perspective.
