Paul Curtain: Setting the Pace at Place

October 04, 2024

In this episode of the Elevate podcast with Steve Carroll, Paul shares insights on leadership, innovation, and the future of real estate in Brisbane as the city prepares for the 2032 Olympics.


He discusses the importance of early adoption, executing on ideas, and maintaining a forward-thinking approach in business.


“Salespeople are a bunch of liquorice all sorts… It’s not a government-type environment where you’re dealing with similar personality types like doctors or lawyers. We have a very, very diverse array. So that creates challenge, but it also creates your opportunity because if you can get people to notice your messaging, then that gives you an edge in the market.” – Paul Curtain
