The peripatetic Paull Young alights in Oakville
I’ve been following the writings and podcasts of Paull Young for more than a year. This young Aussie has made a name for himself in the PR/comms/social media world with his intelligence, drive, friendliness, sense of humour and knack for networking.
This week, I was fortunate to meet up with Paull right here in Oakville, where we chatted about social media; snow; the cultural differences between Australians, Canadians and Americans; snow; and Paull’s plans for the future.
Paull's been bounding around the U.S. and just a bit of Canada. Next he's headed for Akron, Ohio, to meet up with Luke Armour, then London, and then back to the U.S.
Happy trails, Paull. Enjoy the rest of your trip.
Here’s Paull at Lakeside Park in Oakville, on the shore of Lake Ontario, with Canada geese honking in the background. For some reason Paull was fascinated by snow. Go figure.
He was such a nice guy to meet. I'm glad he made the trip north!

I am glad too. And, Chris, he told me how much he enjoyed meeting YOU.

a nice kid that young Paull Young. Did you introduce him to your daughter? Chicks dig the Aussie men.

My 16-yr-old daughter was permitted to shake hands with Paull. ;-))

Donna,
It was great to meet you. You're every bit as personable and intelligent in real life as we pick up on your podcast.
Thanks for being such a kind host, and for giving me the opportunity to take some photos with real snow!
Oh, and David, Aussie men are attractive, but not so much when they're strange blokes your mum has met on the internet! ;-)
