I have been passionate about creating radio programs since I was 11 years old. Initially, I worked behind the scenes, but eventually moved on to presenting. I especially enjoy conducting interviews (and still do). Fortunately, I have been able to turn my hobby into my career.<\/p>\r\n<p>I have hosted a range of different programs for BNR Nieuwsradio since 2000 and have also made numerous appearances on RTLZ. In addition to my work in media, I am also an entrepreneur and founded BuzzMaster in 2014, a company which I exited in 2020.<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>I am often described by my clients as humorous, energetic, and well-informed.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>I am also in high demand as a moderator or motivational speaker, and have experience in both large and intimate event settings. I deliver these seminars, conferences, roundtables, and strategy sessions in Dutch and English. My clients often find me humorous, energetic, and well-informed, and I am proud to have earned the title \u201cModerator of the Year\u201d.<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>I specialize in topics related to change<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>We are living in exciting times with many changes taking place. I specialize in several topics where these changes are particularly evident: entrepreneurship, technology, sustainability, and human capital.<\/p>\r\n<p>These are also challenging times, and it is important for us to seek out solutions. I believe that entrepreneurs and businesses play a key role in addressing the major changes taking place in our lives, society, and the world. It is also important for these entrepreneurs and businesses to take responsibility. This is why I interview them, ask tough questions, and learn about their best practices and successes as well as their failures.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Click here for <a href=\"https:\/\/rensdejong.nl\/rens2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/Magazine-Rens-ENG.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"my biography (opent in een nieuwe tab)\">my biography<\/a>, click here for <a href=\"https:\/\/rensdejong.nl\/rens2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rider-Rens-ENG.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"my working method (opent in een nieuwe tab)\">my working method<\/a> and click here for <a href=\"https:\/\/rensdejong.nl\/rens2020\/foto\">photographic material<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"wp-image-5758\" src=\"https:\/\/rensdejong.nl\/rens2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/11061485125_d6e401cb85_k-1200x800-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rensdejong.nl\/rens2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/11061485125_d6e401cb85_k-1200x800-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/rensdejong.nl\/rens2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/11061485125_d6e401cb85_k-1200x800-1-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/rensdejong.nl\/rens2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/11061485125_d6e401cb85_k-1200x800-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rensdejong.nl\/rens2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/11061485125_d6e401cb85_k-1200x800-1-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/rensdejong.nl\/rens2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/11061485125_d6e401cb85_k-1200x800-1-736x491.jpg 736w, https:\/\/rensdejong.nl\/rens2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/11061485125_d6e401cb85_k-1200x800-1-442x295.jpg 442w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, my name is Rens de Jong.
