We are the heart, mind and soul of The Good Place.
The Good Place is a collaboration of skills and passions driven by Daniela van Aswegen, Amy van den Bergh and Demi van Tonder. Our aim is to equip and empower people with the skills, support and resources they need to thrive personally, professionally and creatively.
The Van Veritas Origin Story
Dani and Amy were introduced by a mutual friend in the 2010's who saw their potential partnership long before they did. Motherhood became a catalyst for their friendship in 2021 when their babies (and the 4am Club) was born.
Demi found The Good Place through a mutual friend's IG page and reached out to Dani for what we now call "playdates". Demi asked Dani to share what The Good Place was about and after three hours Dani said to her "I want to podcast with you".
Demi and Amy met at one of The Artist's Way introduction sessions and it was vibes at first sight. While doing course together it became clear that something special was forming. Now, they collab, imspire and support each other so that they can go out and make an impact on the world.
