Highly respected in his field and a frequent speaker at many top level conference where I've witnessed standing room only time after time. He is a master at explaining search in ways that even the most novice students get it.

Paul - Thanks again for joining the bootcamp last week. It was extremely helpful to hear your framework and apply it to my business. I started drafting a pitch deck a few months ago. Everything about it felt wrong, but I wasn't sure why. It wasn't until your session that it clicked and I knew instantly what was missing. I was telling the wrong story for that particular audience. Just wanted to say thank you again for making fundraising feel accessible to new founders.

I pulled him into practically every B2C strategy meeting with portfolio companies at the Austin Technology Incubator. Paul is a rare breed of marketers who understands the entire value chain of marketing.

Someone who leads by example well, he cares, he cares about startups, he cares about people, innovation, and he has an amazing mind, and I'm blessed that I know him and that he makes me better at what I do, so thank you Paul.

Paul has the great ability to juggle 8 balls at once and is a jack of all trades. He is not only helpful on everything related to press, PR, marketing and social media, but has also added value by providing strategic direction/advice and even gets his hands dirty with technical development. He can be relied upon as a trusted partner and project manager.
Does this look like the best SEO expert in Austin to you?

Few better returns on investment for Austin startups than hiring SEO'Brien. If I saw "we're going to allocate 10% of raise to hire Paul..." in "Use of Funds" in early-stage capital raise I would be way more inclined to invest.

    Seek the Contrarian: What to Expect of a Good Entrepreneurship Program

    In a speech in Paris, in 1920, Theodore Roosevelt remarked the often encouraged, “Comparison Is the Thief of Joy.” That, when we compare ourselves to others, we rob ourselves of our own happiness as, through comparison, we either feel a sense of inferiority or superiority.
