He Turned Business Into D&D — and His Clients Finally Get It

What if your clients can't engage with your consulting framework — not because they're incapable, but because the format is the problem? Paul Pape of Gamify Business converts business strategy, marketing, and obstacles into role-playing game mechanics — and it's working.
Paul Pape is the barkeep and game master at Gamify Business (gamifybusiness.com). He has run a successful freelance art and design practice for 20+ years, spent six years coaching creatives on Twitch, and developed the Gamify Business consulting method to help entrepreneurs — especially neurospicy ones — finally understand the campaign they're actually running.
