Ever wonder what really happens between “new role” and “nailed it”? We just launched Work in Progress, a no-filter podcast about the messy, uncertain and powerful parts of our careers at FRISS.
Episode 1 stars Niek Verdoes, who went from sales engineer to Head of Products at FRISS in three leaps. He talks about:
- Being hard on yourself at the start, and his secret recipe for success
- The moment he realised “fake it till you make it” could be an actual growth strategy
- How a sticky-note mantra (“Work on things that matter most”) keeps him out of the weeds
Niek’s takeaway: success isn’t about clocking extra hours; it’s about trading certainty for curiosity—then repeating.
