Guilty Pleasures
Zarayda Groenhart
We know her from the two most fun BNN programs: Try Before You Die and Spuiten en Slikken, she has written several books, was Who Is The Mole?-candidate in 2013 and now Zarayda is working as a successful media entrepreneur. Her mission? To teach freelancers to powerfully present their story, mission, and vision. And she is doing quite well at it. What am I jumping up and down about? Those are her guilty pleasures. Bring it on…
