Johan Terryn studied Language and Literature (UAntwerpen) and Communication Science (UGent). He soon began a career in the media. Both in radio and TV, in public and commercial broadcasting. Johan discovered all genres there. From light entertainment to the better documentary work. He wrote scenarios, did final editing, acted, presented and directed. Yet he remained hungry to grow in content. He did so by taking a professional coaching course. And by studying NLP and Systemic Work. As a Professional Certified Coach, he has been coaching TV faces and business leaders since 2017.

Since 2020, he has been telling stories to better connect people with themselves and each other. He did a major narrative study of “grieving” in the podcast The Hour Blue. That culminated in a book and a theater performance. About 'regret' he has a project with Tot onze grote spijt (Tot our great regret) that embraces a podcast, a book and a performance. He also writes columns for Radio 1 and makes the podcast Sex changes everything with Rika Ponnet.
