Gamify Business Tavern Tales
Welcome to Gamify Business Tavern Tales, where Paul Pape, accomplished artist, 'Santa for Nerds" and your friendly neighborhood barkeep and author of “The Creative Player’s Handbook to Business,” creates a cozy space for authentic conversations about the entrepreneurial journey.
In this intimate tavern setting, Paul sits down with creative entrepreneurs to explore the roads less traveled - the unconventional paths, bold decisions, and unique approaches that led them to business success. Rather than following traditional playbooks, these guests share stories of how they forged their own way, overcame unexpected challenges, and built thriving enterprises while staying true to their creative vision.
Each interview reveals the personal systems, creative problem-solving techniques, and innovative strategies these entrepreneurs developed along their journeys. You’ll hear about the pivotal moments, the calculated risks, and the creative solutions that made all the difference in their adventures.
Solo episodes feature Paul sharing insights, exploring business concepts through his gamified lens, and offering practical wisdom for creative minds navigating the entrepreneurial landscape. These monologues dive deep into specific challenges and opportunities, always with the goal of making business feel more accessible and less intimidating.
Whether you’re just starting your creative business quest or looking to level up an existing venture, these conversations offer inspiration and actionable insights from entrepreneurs who dared to play by their own rules.
Pull up a chair, order your favorite drink, and discover the stories behind the success.

Gamify Business Tavern Tales Minisode 2: Warrior, Mage or Rogue? Find Your Creative Business Archetype
Gamify Business Tavern Tales: Minisode 2 - Warrior, Mage, or Rogue? Find Your Creative Business Archetype
Not every creative entrepreneur approaches business the same way - and that's exactly why most business advice fails. Are you a bold Warrior who learns by doing? A strategic Mage who loves planning and data? Or a relationship-focused Rogue who thrives on collaboration?
In this episode, Game Master Paul Pape breaks down the three creative business archetypes and helps you discover which one matches your natural entrepreneurial style.
You'll learn:
The three creative business archetypes and their unique superpowers
Why Warriors need to slow down (and when Mages need to speed up)
How Rogues build businesses through relationships and opportunities
Your archetype's biggest strength and most common challenge
Specific weekly actions tailored to YOUR natural business style
Stop trying to force yourself into someone else's business strategy. When you work WITH your creative archetype instead of against it, everything becomes easier.
This Week's Quest:
Warriors - Start one thing you've been overthinking
Mages - Set a deadline for one decision you've been researching
Rogues - Help someone in your network with their current project
Perfect for creative entrepreneurs, artists, designers, freelancers, and makers who want to build authentic businesses that match their personality.
