I’m excited to share my interview with Conny Dassen.  I met Conny in The Netherlands….she and my husband went to high school together and have been friends for decades. I interviewed Conny from the charming setting of her historic farmhouse in eastern Holland, near the German border. 

Career

Join us as we explore the heartwarming and adventurous life of Conny Dassen, whose career journey has taken her from busy Amsterdam to the tranquil countryside of rural eastern Holland.   Conny’s diverse professional background includes positions in the hotel industry, a travel company, a car rental agency, an employment firm and in television entertainment.  Her late father was award-winning filmmaker and director Jan Dassen.  Throughout her varied career, Conny’s unwavering passion for human interaction guided her to find roles that connected her with others.  Now retired, Connie shares her reflections on balancing her love for people with her need for solitude and nature.

Love

Can a rekindled high school romance lead to happily-ever-after nearly five decades later?  In this episode, you'll hear Conny and JanTon's compelling love story, their travel adventures, and their dream to immigrate to Australia. They were recently married on their farm.
