NEW PERSPECTIVE

24 uur met… Maarten van der Weijden (Dutch only)
This is a great story on how nothing is what it seems. Maarten won a gold medal on at the last Olympic Games in China, after overcoming cancer. In this great show by Wilfried de Jong, one of the best interviewers on Dutch tv, Maarten locks himself with Wilfried for 24 hours. In this clip, Maarten shares his entire strategy for winning that medal. He tried to exclude luck as much as possible, planned everything ahead as much as he could. Truly amazing.



VPRO De Toekomst ‘Game over & over’, Steven Johnson (Everything bad is good for you)
This is a clip I took from a documentary, which I use a lot in talks. It instantly makes you think upside down and see things in a new perspective.



The Swell, Season Strict Joy
So nice. Autumn music at its best, the new The Swell Season, a collaboration of Glen Hansard of The Frames and Marketa Irglova. I was so touched by their first collaboration, truly nice. Listen for yourself. Also great are the limited edition posters they have for each gig. Most of them compliment the music beautifully.
