Paul Pape is the founder of Gamify Business, a business education platform designed specifically for creatives, neurodivergent founders, and unconventional entrepreneurs. After spending more than 20 years creating hand-crafted work for brands like Disney, Universal, Nintendo, Nickelodeon, Broadway, and The Tonight Show, Paul discovered that traditional business advice failed creative thinkers, so he built a new framework that translates business concepts into the language of games, quests, and strategy.

A two-time TEDx speaker and author of five books, including The Creative Player’s Handbook to Business and Quit Selling Your Shit!, Paul is known for helping talented creatives understand why they struggle financially despite their skills, and how to fix it. His work has helped artists, founders, and creative organizations improve profitability, reduce burnout, and build businesses that truly support their passion and purpose.

Through his storytelling, practical systems, and unconventional perspective, Paul empowers creatives to stop seeing “starving artist” as inevitable and start viewing creativity as a viable path to long-term success.
