Hi. I’m Paul.

I’ve been building companies at the nexus of media, tech and government for more than two decades.

My current venture, Basbas is the most awarded hierbas in the world.

Hierbas is an alcoholic spirit first distilled by monks living in Ibiza around the 16th century.

You can learn more here, and buy it here and here (in the US) and here (in Canada) and here in the EU.

I also run Channelshift (CA), a small communications venture, Dialect NY, a media policy shop, and the Madworld mastodon server for marketing, advertising, and creative execs.

Here’s a link to that one time when I got into a public spat about the copyright regime with the guitarist from King Crimson and ended up getting sued for $17B.

You should see the other guy.

Here’s my linkedin in case you want to see how I spin it.

I love food, booze, political economies, and animals (cats of all sizes) but sometimes slippery (moo deng of small sizes).

I love helping entrepreneurs build their own brands while I build mine.

I think crypto is a hedge against American hegemony and for that reason is amoral, but if a crypto billionaire wants to invest in one of my companies I won’t lose sleep over it. ✌️ 

xoxo,

PG
