“No career journey is a straight line.”
Meet Paul - Podcast Host I Executive Search & Career Coaching Expert I Studying for a Black Belt in Life I Juggler of Chaos I Adventurer I Family Man
Paul is the voice, the mind and occasionally the biceps behind The Quinntessential Questions Podcast — a show where CEOs, Olympians, private bankers, martial artists, entrepreneurs and modern-day gladiators come to spill the truth behind their wins, losses, and everything in between.
By day, Paul runs Westport Partners, an Executive Search and Career Coaching Firm that places top talent across Asia, Europe and the Middle East. By night, he’s either in the gym, being schooled in basketball by his daughter, learning how to be a leader from his 10 year old daughter - the CEO of the Quinn Household, or editing episodes that accidentally ran two hours long because the stories were just that good.
Paul’s superpower? Asking bold, unexpected questions with a grin — then giving people the space to answer with honesty and edge.
What Makes Paul Different?
Built a business from nothing. Grew it across continents. Still answers his own emails.
Boxed in real rings. Talks about it in metaphorical ones.
Can spot talent in 30 seconds. But will give you the full hour to tell your story anyway.
Thinks like a strategist. Talks like your mate. Interviews like your therapist’s cooler cousin.
Why He Started This Podcast:
Because real success isn’t filtered, scripted, or rehearsed. It’s messy. It’s personal. It’s earned. And Paul believes the most powerful thing you can do is tell the truth — especially the parts you haven’t rehearsed on LinkedIn.

But Isaac’s work doesn’t stop at the studio door.
As a key part of the Westport Partners team, he supports high-level executive search operations across Asia, driving research and market intelligence that fuels strategic outreach and deep talent mapping. He’s the guy who knows who’s hiring, who’s moving, and what that means—for clients, candidates, and the bigger picture.
With a unique blend of creative vision, tech chops, and talent market savvy, Isaac brings the same care to a CV layout as he does to a podcast cut. Over the last five years, he’s worked with global banks and top-tier firms to deliver insights, strategy, and standout collateral that moves careers forward.
In short? Isaac’s the kind of guy who makes sure the story gets told—and that it lands with impact.
