The NBA Called Him Europe's Best Coach - Then He Walked Away!?

The NBA called him the best coach in Europe. Then he walked away from everything. After 16 years, Joerik Michiels had built exactly what he'd dreamed of since he was a kid, until an email from the NBA made him realize the dream wasn't his anymore. In the space of one month he let go of his company, his marriage, and his home. On purpose. In this episode of The Process, Joerik opens up about the injury that killed his playing career, why chasing "the best" is a trap, what actually separates top athletes from everyone else, and how losing everything led him to the most peace he's ever had. A raw conversation about dreams, identity, failure, and betting on yourself when the plan you gave everything for no longer fits.
