Ep 41: Chris Curran on Building Connection, Community, and the Future of Print

In this episode of Taktiful Tuesdays, I finally sit down with my longtime friend and print industry legend, Chris Curran – VP of Media and Events at Printing United Alliance. From his first hands-on experience printing t-shirts at summer camp to shaping the voice of the industry’s biggest expo, Chris has built a career on curiosity, connection, and a genuine love for print.

We talk about:

• His wild ride through Heidelberg, HP, Landa, and beyond
• Why listening between the lines is the next level of consultative sales
• How Printing United Expo is becoming a true crossroads of the industry
• The power of physical print in a digital world
• And of course, what it means to be a good steward of the print community

We also geek out on sensory marketing, rugby, and the real reason those cinnamon rolls in the mall smell so damn good.
