We couldn’t stay behind in podcast land. So here it is: “De ratrace uit”, a brand new podcast series hosted by Sweaver and podcastmaker Danique Havenga.
In six episodes, Danique speaks with ambitious professionals who left the golden cage of corporate life to do something different. Something more meaningful. More free. Less buzzword bingo.
What made them walk away? What do they do now? And what bits of corporate life still make them cringe?
In this episode of “Uit de Ratrace”, we talk to Job van Hooijdonk. He started his career as a lawyer, launched his own business Regreener, and now works as a consultant, while also building a strong presence online as a content creator.
Job speaks openly about the key choices he made along the way. Why he left the legal world. What he learned during the more challenging phases. And how he now deals with criticism, public attention, and the pressure that comes with working independently.
He also reflects on how his view of success has changed. What used to be about titles and certainty is now more about freedom, personal growth, and enjoying the process.
This is not just a story about switching careers. It’s about rethinking what work can look like, and having the courage to follow your own direction, even when the path isn’t clear.
