If you ever think you're late to make a change in your life, Jeroen's story will prove you wrong. Having climbed to the top of the corporate ladders and led a multimillion-dollar business, Jeroen Van Overbeek decided to leave it all behind at 40 in pursuit of a greater purpose. He now runs Social Impakt, a social enterprise in Indonesia with the mission to improve access to clean drinking water in local communities. To date, he has raised $300K and donated over 11,000 water filters to the struggling locals during the Earthquake in Lombok and Covid crisis.We discuss how he came home to his heart, the doubt-filled transition process, the world of social enterprise, and why clean water access can literally change the lives of the people at the bottom of the pyramid:2:28 What inspired Jeroen to do what he's doing10:19 Abundance is not a destination14:53 The transition process21:00 Why clean water access changes lives30:00 The magic behind the portable water filters35:23 Pure intention as a competitive edge40:20 Balancing impact and revenue52:32 Comparison and trusting our own path58:11 Empathy can be cultivated1:01:00 Key takeaways — Connect with Jeroen: https://www.instagram.com/socialimpakt/Website: www.social-impakt.comDonate the Jeroen's fundraiser for the water filters: https://donorbox.org/clean-water-for-baliFollow Beyond The Matrix: Youtube: https://linktree.com/beyondthematrix Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beyondthematrixshow/ Telegram: https://t.me/beyondthematrixshow This is a public episode.
