Paul Rivera is the Chief Marketing Officer and Partner at The SpringHill Company, an entertainment development and production company founded by LeBron James and Maverick Carter. The company's mission is to inspire and empower individuals to achieve greatness, from creators to consumers.

Paul assumed the role of CMO at SpringHill in 2020, bringing with him a wealth of experience in marketing and content creation. A New York City native, Paul played professional basketball in Puerto Rico before embarking on a successful career in media and marketing. He worked for Dime Magazine and Nike for several years before joining Beats by Dre. In 2015, Paul co-founded The Robot Company, a consultancy that later became part of The SpringHill portfolio of companies.

In this episode, Paul shares insights into his journey as the first CMO of SpringHill, his toughest career decisions, and the importance of speaking to consumers in their language. He also talks about the value of surrounding yourself with the right people. Plus -- he and Jim bond over their shared experience as hosts and how they’ve evolved their skills over time.

But that's not all - we have a special treat for you at the end of the podcast! We are thrilled to have Suzanne Kounkel, Deloitte's Chief Marketing Officer, join us for a custom segment where we'll be discussing the findings of Deloitte's Global Marketing Trends Report for 2023. Suzanne will be sharing her insights on the latest trends and predictions for the marketing industry, and how businesses can leverage these trends.
