I’m often inspired by people who think differently. We need people like that in this era of major changes! Only those who dare to swim against the current – those who do it just a little bit differently – have the insight to actually change something.

Entrepreneurs, scientists, CEOs, politicians or students – these creative minds are everywhere. They try to tackle the status quo everywhere. They prefer to focus on the possibilities instead of the impossibilities. That’s why I interview them, debate with them and tell their stories.
BNR: Werkverkenners
We have devoted a large part of our lives to it: work! In this program, I look for questions about work that interest me. These questions are often simple, but the answers to them are often complex. For example: Should you be a strict boss? Does that work? Or: why do more attractive people often have a better job? Or: shouldn’t self-employed people always be paid the same as (or more than) permanent employees?

Whether you make green beans or beer, financials are at the helm everywhere. How do they view their company? Are they boring spreadsheet fetishists or do they have a deeper insight that others sometimes lack? In ‘Financiële top’ (‘Financial Top’), I follow them around their company for a day.
