Paul Holder

In this week's episode I chat with Paul Holder.  Paul has a wealth of experience of teenagers having initially taught PE in secondary schools before moving on to roles at Crystal Palace, Brighton & Hove Albion and as a National Coach at The FA.  We discuss his beliefs, influences and when he has got it wrong!  Any time spent listening to Paul is hugely enjoyable and valuable - his ideas will certainly get you thinking.

Paul left Georgetown University in the early 2000's with degrees in marketing and international business and a different plan than his friends who were heading to NYC to get into investment banking. He started bar tending and that led to a successful career in the restaurant business that has spanned 15 years, including the last 12 as owner. Paul co-owns both Town Hall and Sixth Engine, successful restaurants in the competitive restaurant scene in our nation's capital. He and his partners have a third restaurant on the way, and in this interview Paul shares advice and lessons learned over the years. He's an extremely sharp guy and if you are interested in what it takes to be a successful restaurant owner, you don't want to miss this interview!
