Founder, Nashville Adventures
Paul Whitten is the founder of Nashville Adventures, a Nashville-based experience company offering history, ghost, and pub crawl tours, corporate and private events, and emerging XR and audio products. He grew the company from a 3,600 dollar initial investment into one of Nashville’s fastest-growing tour operators, with revenue more than doubling year over year.
Before building the business, Paul served as a U.S. combat veteran with a deployment to Afghanistan, completed Peace Corps service in Armenia, and was the first American to hold a UK Parliamentary Fellowship. He is a working Nashville historian and musician who turned the city’s stories into a living, profitable company.
Paul speaks on building a service business from the ground up, the real economics of Nashville tourism and hospitality, veteran entrepreneurship, and using story and place to build a brand people remember. He brings a practical operator’s view rather than theory, and a deep respect for the history and people that make Middle Tennessee what it is.
He lives in Nashville with his wife and daughter.
