Marketing, Music & Mild Existentialism
Hi. I’m Paul. I build things. Sometimes they scale. Sometimes they crash and teach me something painful and useful.
I run growth at Mainsail Agency, direct an entrepreneurship center, produce music as Sunset Sky, and starred in more career plot twists than can be found in the entire run of Breaking Bad. This site is the drawer where I keep all the half-finished notebooks, growth frameworks, synth presets, and life lessons I didn’t ask for.
If you’re into clean strategy, messy creativity, and the weird overlap between analytics and feelings. Way cool. You belong here.
What I Do
At Mainsail, we help businesses stop throwing money into the void by:
-
Actually aligning strategy with goals (wild concept)
-
Translating performance data into human language
-
Running ads that work and don’t make you wonder if you’re spending the right amount of marketing dollars
It’s lean, sharp, no-fluff marketing.
I joined because I got tired of “thought leadership” and wanted to build stuff that lives in the real world.

What You’ll Find Here
This site is not a polished portfolio. It’s a resource pile. A sandbox. A rant collection. A lightly organized chaos bin of:
-
Growth & marketing advice that doesn’t suck
-
Real lessons from startups, pivots, and economic freefalls
-
Music process notes, creative essays, templates, half-baked frameworks
-
Probably too many metaphors about rhythm and risk
Some of it might help you. Some of it might make you feel less alone. Either way, that’s a win.
The Soundtrack to All This
I make emotional dance music under Sunset Sky. Unfortunately for you, this is what happens when a data-driven marketer gets in their feelings with a synth.
It’s not escapism. It’s emotional endurance set to a beat.
music for dancing through it.

How to Reach Me
Need help growing your thing? Want to yell into the void about creative burnout? Curious how I got from music to marketing and back again?
Welcome.
Stay weird.
Try not to burn out.
If you do, make it a good story.
