  • Business as Normal 6 - The Vandies (Part 2; Dutch)

    The gang from Tienen is here!

    My cousins, Jill (Insta@vandewijerjill) and Britt Vandewijer (Insta@vandewijerbritt), a comic GenZ duo came to the studio right after the first lockdown to blow off some steam and tell me about what we don't read in the reports about their age group. I was eager to know what keeps them busy, how do they see society, education, mental health and what is their surfing behaviour like?

    For me they are the face for self-mockery and down-to-earth comedy. From Château Meiland to Alpacas, the way how they interpret and imitate pop-culture is both funny and full of sharp perception. As we say here: "straffe madammen".

    You also hear how good humour can come from a painful place, when they open up about their school and uni experiences during the lockdown. This episode is here to give a face to our youngsters who had a hard time during this pandemic, but who, as ever, show great resilience in coping -while leaving their eldest cousin inspired and full of respect.

    However this episode might be in Dutch, it might provide a good reason to convert yourself to our language. I had a lovely time talking to these prodigy Youtubers. Enjoy!

  • Business as Normal 5 - Bart Broothaerts (Eng)
    Get ready for a slap around the ears.
    During his year at Vlerick Business School, young entrepreneur Bart Broothaerts had one goal: starting off his company in supply chain traceability, called Unova. He also has a stake in Troom, a company where you can order a driver for your car whenever you like. Ambitious enough and numb to anyone who dislikes him thinking out loud about becoming a billionaire one day, he shows no fear in reaching his goals.
    At the heatwaves' peak, we spend an evening talking about the benefits of being uncomfortable, leadership and responsibility, why blunt feedback can be useful, how Belgians perhaps (mis)perceive succes and ambition, what nature teaches us about running a business, truth culture and so much more.
    If you are easily insulted, please keep listening.

  • Business as Normal 4 - Els Deboutte (English)

    During a hot summer day we had Els Deboutte on our show. She is a Leuven (Belgium) -based HR veteran who started her own coaching program, called Make Me Fly (https://makemefly.be/) and tea and wine bar with her husband, called Terroir (https://www.terroirleuven.be/).

    Through wit and humour we passed an intense afternoon debating personal growth. An important topic to look out for: what it is like for a mother to swim against the current when you choose to swap your job for an uncertain future as an entrepreneur. 

    Enjoy the life stories from someone who sees the world in her own way, without an apology, nor any excuses.

  • Business as Normal 2 - The Pilots (Dutch)

    Language:

    Overzicht:

    Ok, hier komt het.

    Deze aflevering bestaat uit twee delen: Piloot 1 en Piloot 2.

    Na het maken van deel 1 (de meer spontane versie van piloot 2) hebben de makers (Philip Vanstapel en Jacques Lacquet) hun pitch verbeterd en hun bedoeling met deze maatschappij-kritische podcast alvast aangescherpt. Een nieuwe episode betekent dus weer iets anders dat ze bijgeleerd hebben over het maken van podcasts.

    Gek Bleek Geniaal  - onze aanmoediging tot kritisch denken.

    Structuur Piloot 2:

    00:00 - Waarom in godsnaam een piloot 2?!

    03:10 - De nieuwe pitch

    04:50 - Wat we leerden van vorige keer... Podcasten is niet makkelijk!

    20:25 - Vorm  je eigen mening! Over massamedia en dogma.

    22:10 - Politieke correctheid vs "de waarheid"

    25:47 - Veinzen dat je perfect bent gelooft (hopelijk) niemand

    28:20 - Waarom niet alles meteen in het Engels?

    30:49 - Is er te weinig alternatieve media in België?

    34:18 - Hatchoum*! Wij hebben oa. alcoholgel!

    35:00 - (zelf)censuur, soms moet je gewoon durven...
