Inspiration time!
I first came across Jason Black on a Newstalk interview following his successful ascent of K2 in the Himalayas. As an armchair mountaineer myself, his description and photographs of his exploits on the world’s most dangerous mountain blew me away, his story describing how he overcame a wretched schoolhood at the hands of a bully left me and my colleagues struggling to understand. In my capacity as Chairman of the Irish Society of Insolvency Practitioners I invited Jason to tell his story to our members at our annual summer social event. There were gasps, tears and plenty of questions as Jason’s story struck a chord with many present. His presentation delivered using slides illustrating his exploits was accompanied by a powerful narrative. Though not obliged to Jason stayed with us that evening and did not leave until he had spoken to every member of our group about 70 in total something no previous presenter had done. Our members were truly blown away. There is an amazing human side to Jason’s story and his achievements and an afternoon or evening in his company is not to be missed.
