In this revealing episode, Dr. Stephen Sideroff welcomes Paul Colichman, CEO of Here Media, producer of Gods and Monsters, and founder of the first national LGBT television network, for a candid conversation on the inner work and vision that shaped his leadership journey.
From becoming a network executive at just 22, to navigating the AIDS crisis in his twenties, Paul shares how loss, gratitude, and relentless self-improvement forged his resilience. He opens up about the moment he realized technical skills weren’t enough, the emotional intelligence breakthroughs that transformed his teams, and why his “big hairy audacious goal” became a parallel reality that pulled him toward unprecedented success.
His story blends Hollywood grit, mission-driven media, and quantum thinking, offering timeless lessons for leaders facing uncertainty, adversity, or the need to inspire change at scale.
