Meeting 923

April 9, 2025

Thomas Derksen aka Afu, speaker, author, coach, and social media influencer, shares about change.

After globe-trotting as a well-paid video creator, enjoying a luxurious lifestyle and hobnobbing with superstars, he faced a massive backlash with sponsors pulling out and a sharp decline in online reach.
