East Marshian Chronicles
Interview with Grimsby's own Jason Stockwood - an easy Yes!
In today's episode, Jack Booth and Billy Dasein talk to Jason Stockwood, Club Chairman of Grimsby Town Football Club and so much more.
We set a high bar with our opening question and the conversation then ranges across kibbutzim and DisneyWorld, how work really works for people and organisations (spoiler: trust people), a brief discussion of Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus and the barriers of language and how Covid has prompted a radically shifting world-view towards the unjust postcode lottery of austerity and poverty. Above all, what comes out often is that it's all about relationships, compassion, love and creating places that matter - human flourishing!
When it comes to the footie, Jack nails it with his impromptu question (or statement of deep personal philosophy, perhaps): "If you don't have hope then what do you have when it comes to football?"
Memorable quotation from the episode: "I've got the Grimsby in me. I like a fight"
