As a 14 yr old boy, I emailed this man (must have been in the championship at this point) and he not only replied, but held an amazing back and forth conversation about how to achieve a great career. Followed his advise and loving life 🙏

What a joy to listen to a proper leader like Paul in the football business. Great interview.

This is how every football club should be run, with transparency. I really admire how Brighton operate as a club and long may their success continue.

The CEO's of Saxa & Sarsons have arrived to soak up the salty tears and sour grapes shed by supporters of other clubs (especially palace). Daniel Levi must have rued the day he allowed Paul to speak with Tony Bloom, and he certainly picked the right owner. Next season will be No57 for myself, and never even dreamt of watching my football club playing in European Competition, unless it were Sensible Soccer or Football Manager. Will the bubble burst? Only the future can tell, but for the moment, that future looks pretty reassuring.

I am not a Brighton fan but have been impressed with the incredible improvement and football they play... now I can understand what has propelled their success. This CEO is impressive, has such a well articulated vision and management style. Excellent episode, well done!

All CEOs of multi million pound businesses are intelligent men.

This has to be one of the best podcasts I have watched, Brighton is one of the best run football clubs and being in the hands of Paul Barber and Tony Bloom will be for a very long time.

Paul got a lot of stick from Albion fans on a first few years of his tenure, but I think that's in part that the club didn't communicate to the fans about the vision in detail he's mentioned in the video in depth, its fantastic to see how Paul, Tony Bloom and the club has evolved in what I would call a snippet of the clubs overall life since 1901. The best CEO in English football. I'd like to think we trust this man with our club now and in the future, lets just hope Tony doesn't have to replace him as well!

I don't tend to watch these sorts of business focused videos but I'm surprised at how transparent this is. And also, easily digestible to someone who isn't constantly thinking in terms of money and contracts and business jargon. The philosophy behind the club, their recruitment and investment, is so clear, and admirable. And Paul doesn't talk as if he's a genius CEO, but rather as someone who believes in transparency breeds trust, and trust breeds success. And that even that success can be fleeting, and to never be complacent when achieving, but rather to keep focusing on your goals so there is always another pedestal to reach. As always, take everything a millionaire says with a grain of salt. But so far I like what I see with this guy.

This randomly started playing after a completely different video, and having sat through the entirety, I just wanna say that was truly brilliant.

On a more serious note, the attention to detail of all the people that enters Brighton's orbit is so inspiring.

After watching many a HP podcast, this one is up there with the best. Absolute class in the sense of understanding how a club can operate beyond the perceived sum of its parts. There are so many learnings here which are applicable to every day life. Thank you very much!

No wonder Brighton are doing so well. What a guy!

The character of an organisation is established by the character of the people who work there. That character is determined by the integrity of the leader. I learnt so much listening. Thank you for your exceptional excellence.

This is brilliant HP podcast. So informative. The man is just so well spoken & clear. Why can't my club Manchester United hire people like him. He's on top of things. Highly qualified for the job. Good luck to him & the club. We all love Brighton.

The interviewers were absolutely on point. 1000% , amazing journalism!

It’s so refreshing to listen to what Paul says, to hear his motivations and values and the way he talks with such an open but focused mind. It must be a pleasure to work at Brighton football club to really make a difference. The very fact that he recognises things falling into place at the right time speaks volumes for me. A great podcast, thank you and kudos to Paul and the team at Brighton.

This is fascinating like always. as a Newcastle fan coming up with Brighton i always wanted them to do well. They play great football and are ran brilliantly i hope they grab Europa League.

This is the best podcast I have seen about Football definitely deserves a subscribe for more interviews with CEO’s

So proud to have him at our club and our success is partly down to him So I thank you What. Brilliant listen

I hope they can carry on finding managers and players like they have. Other teams have done it, Southampton etc. but then the wheels come off and they fall over. Fingers crossed they keep at it!

This man is incredibly impressive. The way he speaks and thinks. No wonder Brighton are killing it

I’ve always been impressed with Paul….he knows his stuff, he’s a gentleman leader, he doesn’t tolerate nonsense. I’ve also always been impressed that he has always responded to messages I’ve sent him and is keen to help or offer a solution.

What an impressive guy. Very down to earth and a fantastic mindset. I wish we had someone like this running United.

A truly well run club. Love watching brighton play!

One of the best podcasts I’ve listened to. Clear why Brighton are doing so well.

Having watched Brighton today, and I know I’m not impartial, but you really should be pleased about the prospect of an expansive, exciting, ambitious Norwich team...full of home-grown talents...joining the premier league. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Brilliant! Really genuine and honest answers. You can see why a club like Brighton are so well managed and achieving what they are.

Tony Bloom has been the best club owner in Britain for the last decade

I had the pleasure of working for Paul while he was the Vancouver Whitecaps CEO. The small interactions I had with him were always a learning experience and a privilege to be around. Good to see him going well, I wonder if he could go back to Tottenham and Levy move over and give him the reigns?

Great Content guys!!! You really deserve a huge audience for your podcasts!! All of them

As a very proud brighton fan, this man is the main reason we are wherevwe are brilliant to hear him and very interesting conversations good questions

Fabulous. Skilled interviewers and articulate, candid and informative guest. Will watch more!

What's amazing is the level of clarity in Paul's thoughts. No wonder why Brighton have unbelievably risen.

fantastic interview good questions, amazingly clearly awnsered,clarity is all the supporters want,congratulations to mr bloom and mr barber, and not forgetting mr dezerbi and a fantastic squad of players,onwards and upwards seagulls, #TOGETHER UTB

First time coming across your channel and what an incredible interview. I’ve watched many Josh Homme interviews and you definitely created a special environment for him to open up in the way he did and really let lose. Brilliant insights and Josh Homme is just a legend for the way he sees life, what a guy. Can’t wait for this album!

Excellent interview! Very articulate guest and a pleasure to hear his very honest views. Well done!

It's a great illustration of the saying "Dress for the job you want, not the job you're in." Great interview, thank you.

Wow. Great interview. I am inspired. I am a liverpool fan but i wish the best for brighton now.

Fabulous Interview!

These podcasts are fantastic. Listened to Eddie Howe's the other day and thoroughly enjoying this one. So much insight + learning I can apply to work and personal life. Thanks guys

Such an insightful refreshing discussion.. Brighton have done so well with patient build up of their club 👏

Listening to this podcast is even much better than attending Business and Management lectures at Russell Group or Ivy League Universities.

Stumbled across this podcast. Amazing!

Brilliant inside knowledge, loved this interview! Top man. So lucky he runs my club.

What a fantastic video. Honest and transparent answers and comments. An asset to Brighton and the wider football community.

Paul Barber is possibly the best signing we've ever made.

I really appreciate the honesty!! 🙌🏾 Refreshing to hear things from this perspective

Just over an hour in and 2 questions arise. Where did you get that plant pot from and did Paul knowingly wear Albion socks? Seriously though, fantastic interview, great questions. As an Albion fan these are heady days and what strikes me is it all starts at the top. For a long time now it's abundantly apparent that Tony Bloom is an angel sent from the football Gods. We as a club are very fortunate to have him. To know the calibre of personality he employs through listening to Paul during this interview is reassuring. Exciting times.

Really enjoyed alot. That was excelent interview. Learned alot

I would like to know how bloom found barber, there is no-one better at what Paul does than Paul himself the chemistry of Tony and Paul is the reason Brighton are doing so well

that was short but really good and straight to the goal. i like it

This was an amazing talk, worth every minute

Indicative of their healthy culture that they identified players such as Lallana and Milner from LFC, not only from the point of view of being quality players and the experience that Brighton as a club need, but also the mindset they themselves were recruited by one of the most successful recruitment entities in LFC on especially on a personal level. They also remind me of Swansea's approach, but they got scared of growing and exactly scared of what Barber welcomes, and got rid of Laudrup and his staff, and essentially abandoned their identity they had used from Martinez to Rodgers to Laudrup, thus suffered.

This is gold . This is the information we want from football

Fascinating and insightful!

Listening to Paul, makes me want to work for Brighton!

Great podcast Very informative and entertaining Keep on the good work

Hey guys can you put time codes? It’ll be easier to navigate through the video😊

Two words: True leadership.

The issue with being a club that always sells your best assets is you have to keep finding wonderkids. It's really tough, even when backed by data. Saints finished 8th in 16/17 and now they're relegated. I don't expect Brighton to maintain their trajectory, unless they can convince some of their best players to stay and build something. Finishing in Europe is a great opportunity to do this, but now is the time to change their behaviour, not keep doing the same things.

I mean yeah every Brighton fan knows that Brighton most likely cannot continue with this level of success because they’re not a sky 6 club. They just dont have the popularity and money for that. It all comes down to money. If you think City bought the league then United, Liverpool, Chelsea equally bought the league when they won. This is the reality of the PL, the bridge between big 6 clubs and midtable clubs is too huge. The only champions to win by sheerly good management are Leicester, which is why I think Leicester winning the league once will forever be more impressive than United/City/Liverpool/Chelsea winning it even 20 times.

There’s so many take always from this to be applied in one’s personal & professional life whatever the business sector you are in. Amazing talk!

Fantastic podcast. So many transferable insights. Thankyou.

I think everyone has a soft spot for Brighton but the premier league is brutal. Each club thinks they have formula until they get relegated or end up in a relegation battle. Southampton had a good model and was so profitable from player sales over the last 4-5 yrs, Leicester won the league and got a huge cash windfall which should have solidified them as a premier league team from then on. A few bad transfers and a really poor run can have any team fighting for their lives, but I think Brightons approach is refreshing and theres just a genuine good buzz around the club.

He's a really good ceo and seems a good man aswell

I remember watching football scores on soccer saturday sky sports about 6-7 years ago and watching Brighton regularly coming up on the scoresheet. They were doing really well at the time, I think in league 1. I remember watching the new stadium in the background when kammy or one of the other presenters were covering a goal score. I used to think, must be really exciting being a Brighton fan, look like they are going places. Look at them now! Great story, fairytale I would say.

Thanks for this!!

As a Chelsea fan I always say Graham Potter was not a bad choice for chelsea foot ball club. The issue is that Graham's philosophy will take time and thats what Chelsea didnt have as where we are in the league as a top club, winning is top priority. This interview not only open my eyes towards Brighton success but as an individual who aspire to become a future leader, this man has educated me in so many areas that i dont believe can be learnt anywhere else. Such brilliant mind SIR I SALUTE YOU. THANK YOU.

excellent interview

Thanks lads what a great interview ❤ I would love to see Amanda stavely on your show

I think Brighton are sometimes excited when a player/manager asks to leave... Because it allows them to go and get the next person that they have been analysing.

admire your work

Great, great interview.

Wonderful conversation

I really wish we had a guy like this at Everton

brighton are lucky to have a CEO like him. Fairs

What a leader ❤

i follow brighton whole season it is incredible club also it shows that hard work matter and good results are natural if you put enough effort .

Brighton really is so entertaining to watch ngl

VERY GOOD LISTEN, WHAT A GUY

I would love the Glazers, Arnold and Murtough to listen to this. Boy could they learn 100 things.

It's just the weather the city in London, and England in general is phenomenal... while other leagues you cannot adapt due to lang barrier like Germany,Frace,Italy...even Spain... it's so easy to get along in England.. + they already have big club names with history..

Learnt many things about management

I will definitely watch this again
