Paul Gowder

Paul Gowder is a longtime community builder, email marketing strategist, and content creator who’s been helping creators turn attention into real relationships for nearly three decades.

He’s the founder of PowWows.com, one of the largest Native American culture and events platforms online, and the host of multiple podcasts and live video shows. Over the years, Paul has experimented with just about every form of content you can imagine, from forums and newsletters to livestreams, video podcasts, and short-form video.

What he’s best known for now is helping creators connect the dots between video, podcasts, and email. Paul teaches practical, proven ways to turn viewers and listeners into email subscribers, and then into engaged communities you actually own. His email strategies focus on conversation, trust, and long-term relationships, not gimmicks or quick hacks.

Paul has grown and managed large email lists across multiple brands, driven millions of views through video and social platforms, and seen firsthand why owning your audience matters more than ever. He’s passionate about building workflows that support consistent publishing while protecting creators from algorithm changes.

When he’s not recording or writing emails, you’ll usually find Paul traveling with his family, speaking at creator conferences, or testing new ways to help creators stay visible, connected, and in the flow.
