In this episode, Chris is joined by three remarkable guests who between them represent the very best of Derbyshire's sporting community - and whose values of discipline, perseverance, and fellowship resonate far beyond the arena.
James and Anthony Wyatt bring the story of Derbyshire Allstars Badminton Club - a club built not just on competitive ambition but on the kind of inclusive, community-centred ethos that Freemasons will recognise instinctively. They talk about what it takes to build something that lasts, and why sport, at its finest, is about much more than winning.
Emily McClean, Para Ice Hockey player, shares her journey into one of sport's most demanding and exhilarating disciplines. Her story is one of resilience, camaraderie, and the discovery of strength in unexpected places - themes that sit at the heart of Masonic philosophy as much as they do at the heart of elite sport.
And Joshua Johns, competing at the highest levels of Wheelchair Tennis, reflects on what it means to pursue excellence with purpose - the mental fortitude, the community of support, and the way sport can reframe how we see ourselves and one another.
Together, these conversations ask a question Freemasons have long pondered: what do we owe to one another, and what can we build when we build together?
