Joseph in the media

On Wednesday, November 9, Joseph appeared on TV on NPO2 in an interview with Coen Verbraak in the program ‘About life’.
Andre Kuipers and Jochem Meyer, among others, had previously been guests with their impressive story. This time it was Joseph’s turn to share his special story.
In September 2024 Joseph was a keynote speaker at Amsterdam Business Forum in Afas Live.
He shared his journey about courageous leadership with the audience and left them speechless and inspired. At the end the audience rewarded him with a standing ovation.
Joseph's impressive story has received a great deal of media attention in recent years. He has featured in Dutch TV programmes like Pauw & Witteman, Het Familieportret and Koffietijd, has headlined radio broadcasts like the NOS News, Frits Spits and Spijkers met Koppen, and has appeared in numerous magazines, including Libelle, HP/De Tijd, Men's Health, Grazia and Linda.
Read Guido van de Wiel's impressive interview with Joseph Oubelkas, for example.

It is particularly poignant how Joseph's mother nurtures him in her letters.

Man... ‘400 letters from my mother’ is keeping me busy. What a page turner! Very intensely written!
