Chasing orchestrated luck: Defining yourself as a designer and a human being on a journey around the world!

In this episode we talk with Ruben Pot, former Industrial Design Engineering student at the University of Twente. After finishing his masters he decided to realize his life long dream of traveling the world, instead of following the "standard" career path.

How did Ruben develop himself as a designer and as a human being on his travels, and how has it helped him to discover what he wanted to do for a career? Let's find out!

This is the end! Multiple endings to be exact, first of all the end of season 2 but it's also the end for Joris and Bram as hosts. So the perfect moment to reflect on last two seasons and to get to know everyone of the icarus idea. 

In four segments you'll get to know all the active members of the icarus idea. What do they do, some random facts but also what they have learned when working on the podcast. Hope you enjoy listening!
