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:
