Paul Colligan empowers businesses ready to claim their share of the market with the power of their story. He provides the proven systems to leverage podcasting, harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, and eradicating technical friction, all to implement a 'grown-up' business strategy that ensures technology always serves the mission of profitable growth, not the other way around. His proven systems not only deliver profitable growth but also ensure those results are achieved with maximum efficiency and less drama.

Paul’s focus remains the same: leveraging the right tools to amplify the right message. In recognition of his decades of contribution to the medium, Paul was recently inducted into the Podcasting Hall of Fame. As the CEO of The Podcast Partnership, he continues to shape the industry, but his vision has expanded into the next frontier: Artificial Intelligence. In 2026, Paul is leading the charge on forward-thinking AI initiatives within his organization. These systems aren't just about automation; they are about using AI to remove the technical friction that stops great ideas from reaching the world. His recent work demonstrates how AI can be used to create "digital influencers" while preserving the irreplaceable authenticity of the human voice. Paul is the author of thirteen books, including the industry-defining How To Podcast and the results-focused Never Go Shopping When You’re Hungry.

He believes a business should support a life, not consume it. Paul lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife. He is a man of diverse passions who believes the best ideas often happen away from the screen. When he isn't architecting AI workflows or producing shows, you can find him roasting his own coffee beans, enjoying the Portland theater and food scenes, or traveling the globe in search of the next great story.
