• How sustainable is success when you believe your own hype?

• How did Ruud fight to build back his self-confidence?

• How has ‘mind over matter’ and psychotherapy helped Ruud face his failures and challenges head-on?

Today, he’s a calm and charming man that exudes confidence and knows how to navigate the challenges that life throws at you. You would never have thought that the same man was once booed by a stadium of football fans and was close to being public enemy number one in the Netherlands. Ruud Hendriks has experienced failure on a gigantic scale. 

A successful DJ, reporter and media mogul (for more, visit www.hendriks.tv), Ruud joins NAKED to talk about how it felt to be hated by the Dutch public and how he knew he had hit rock bottom. There’s a thin line between the self-belief required to build a successful global business and believing your own hype to the point that it leads to the failure of the very business you’re trying to launch. How do you rebuild your confidence when you don’t even have the strength to leave the house and your marriage is falling apart?
