Shift Happens

A conversation about transformation, fear, sensitivity, purpose and the courage it takes to lead from the heart.

This episode contains something new:

The arrival of the Future-Self.

For the first time, Future Sander physically sits at the table. He is not a gimmick. He is not a character. He is the embodied question that lives inside every entrepreneur: Who are you becoming, and what happens when that future version of you interrupts your present life?

Future Sander watches, listens, challenges, mirrors, and silently asks the question that drives this season:

“If the wiser version of you was already in the room… would you finally dare to lead with your heart?”

Leadership coach Laurens Polfliet joins me in this experiment of inner storytelling and emotional honesty.

Together we explore:

• Why sensitivity is a superpower
• How leaders hide behind logic and lose their heart
• How fears disguise themselves to keep us small
• Why belonging and meaning drive modern leadership
• How energy shifts instantly when you choose a different version of yourself
• Why personal growth always requires community
• How to guide others not through techniques but through presence
• How to take responsibility for the future you claim to want

This is not just a conversation. It is a mirror.

A slow, unfolding transformation, one we experience in real time.
This episode is for leaders, creators, and anyone standing at the edge of a shift.

If you’ve ever felt your future calling you, this will feel familiar.

Welcome to Season 2.
