Paul Wnek
Entrepreneur, Salesforce Architect,
Founder of Coalescence Cloud & ExpandAP
Listen To Paul Wnek
Some people build companies. Others build movements. Paul Wnek is doing both—while raising a family, leading two growing tech startups, and staying grounded through it all.
Paul is the Founder and CEO of Coalescence Cloud, a trusted Salesforce consulting firm, and ExpandAP, a powerful tool for automating business expenses—all built on the Salesforce platform. With 15 Salesforce certifications under his belt, Paul knows tech inside and out. But what makes his journey stand out isn’t just expertise—it’s his heart, hustle, and a little bit of good luck.
Paul didn’t take a straight path to CEO life. He grew up in Maryland, moved to Texas for college, and worked his way through school at some of Dallas’ best restaurants. It was there—serving successful CEOs and entrepreneurs—that he discovered his own calling. He didn’t just want to work for a company—he wanted to build one.
In this episode of Good Luck People, Paul shares how grit, timing, and faith in the process helped him navigate setbacks, turn down the wrong investment offers, and lead his team with purpose. We talk about:
✅ Why entrepreneurship called him from a young age
✅ The pressure and pride of supporting a team and a family
✅ Saying “no” to fast money and choosing long-term vision
✅ His dream of making ExpandAP Salesforce’s go-to AP automation tool
✅ How luck shows up—but only when you keep showing up too
But Paul’s story isn’t just about business. It’s about balance. He’s a husband, a dad to a four-year-old son, and a proud dog-dad to Winston and Daisy. He wakes up early, hits the gym, takes his son to school, and puts in long hours to build something that lasts. His favorite place? Somewhere tropical with his family. His favorite sound? Happy clients.
Through all the challenges—uncertain markets, investor pressure, and the constant demands of being a founder—Paul’s story is grounded in one thing: resilience. And yes, a few lucky moments along the way.
Hear Paul Wnek’s inspiring story of leadership, lessons, and luck. If you’ve ever dreamed of building something meaningful—or just wanted to know how successful founders really do it—this episode is for you.
Because sometimes, the hardest moments lead to the biggest breakthroughs.
