This week I had the pleasure of featuring economist Jim Power on my Win Happy podcast.
While COVID19 and the effect this would have on the Irish and World economy were big parts of the discussion, as always I wanted to dig a little deeper to find out about the person behind the expertise.
Jim spoke about his love of the land, which comes from his very happy life growing up in a farm in Waterford. While he would have loved to have stayed farming his career took a different path.
We chatted about why he gave up his “soulless” role in Bank of Ireland, his passion for Irish food and his concerns about the food supply chain, his role as Chairman of ‘Love Irish Food’, the other work that he does, his love of QPR and of course his passion for all things “Waterford”.
We did talk about the COVID19 crisis in detail and the advice he would give to the government to navigate its way through the crisis and preserve the economy.
He reviewed the government support package and thankfully he predicts an economic recovery.

Greg down in Kerry just listened to your podcast with Jim Power. Very well done and a great interview. Please convey my best wishes to him. I wonder if he is still wearing those fancy socks he was wearing on a podcast with David Williams that I watched some time ago🤔 Best regards and well done Ted
