About this episode

Steve Parish is a businessman and the co-owner and chairman of Crystal Palace F.C. After beginning his career in computer graphics, Steve went on to acquire multiple companies. He transformed TagWorldwide into a global production powerhouse with over 2,800 employees in 13 countries. In 2010, Steve acquired Crystal Palace, saving the club from administration, and building the foundations for the growth of the club over the 13 years that followed. In this episode, he shares the secrets to his success, and behind his failings, at every stage of his career.


Steve discusses the “hard graft” he put in from a young age, and shares how emotional intelligence can guide you through every interaction. Jake and Damian explore his purchase of Crystal Palace, how he interacts with the club as an owner, and how important the club is to him having been a childhood fan. They delve deep into what drives Steve, his key to hiring the best people and how he builds a great company.
