John Paul Sewell

Perhaps I heard my mother practicing piano when I was in the womb, but I'm pretty sure that my grand debut into this universe involved a song, a melody, maybe even a phrase of sprechstimme.

While it's music I adore, I've also wiggled around in corporate America and found my passion is about people - people that run organizations - and people that buy from those organizations. I believe in leaders who care about their people, and the passion that results from these relationships births great ideas, products and services that other people will buy.

Oh... and I believe in conversations. My job as a marketeer is solely focused on creatively bringing people to a conversation in a variety of media forms.

And about the sequins. I have a slight obsession with beauty pageants. While I'm not as vigilant as I once was to pass out judging score sheets and force friends to comply with an oath of silence during the talent competition, I am still an avid supporter. I mean, they're scholarship programs after all. But seriously, in all facets of life, sometimes you just need one more sequin to win the crown, the game or the job interview.
