Paul Kirwin is a seriel entrepreneur with a strong track
record for building companies that have fundamentally changed the
way retail companies sell their products.
He has been the founder and CEO of companies like Kirwin
Productions and 3.5 (now Experticity).
His most recent company, Channel Signal, works with clients
like Microsoft, Under Armour, New Balance, and Black Diamond
to collect, measure, and analyze product reviews.
Paul was recently rated ‘one of the 10 most influential people
in the outdoor industry’ - which generates more than $887 Billion
in annual consumer spending. As a matter of fact, Americans spend
more on outdoor recreation than they do on pharmacueticals and fuel
combined - so it’s a booming industry.
Throughout his career, Paul has always been intentional about
leveraging entrepreneurship to enable his desired
lifestyle.
He firmly believes we should work to live not live to work. He
has no problem attracting top talent at his companies, because in
addition to having a compelling vision for the business, he is also
able to create a great environment for both himself and his
employees.
Whether it’s Mt biking the single track in park city, Utah on
the way to work or Fly fishing the stream right outside the office
at lunch, he tries to focus on building meaningful and enjoyable
experiences into the day to day.
This ethos pays off too.
It’s probably not surprising that this type of workplace
design has a way of creating happy employees.
And of course when you have happy employees, you have happy
customers, and in turn - a thriving business - which is exactly
what Paul has done, time and time again.
