Despite losing his sight in his early 20's, His quality of life and level of success was radically transformed at the age of 50, not through sight restoration, but through changing his attitude to his blindness.

"De finale van het ARCADIS OndernemerLab is in 2009 en 2011 door Ad-Just en de Tilburg Tigers van een extra dimensie voorzien. De deelnemers presenteren de businessplannen aan de directie en Ad-Just en de Tigers verzorgden het dagvoorzitterschap in een passend thema. In 2009 was dat de setting van Dragons Den, inclusief 3 versies van Jort, compleet met bretels. Met dat verschil dat de Tigers beter kunnen zingen. In 2011 was de insteek 'showbizz', met een knipoog naar de Lama's: compleet met improvisatie, serenades en woordspelingen. Ad-Just weet de soms gespannen deelnemers met humor, creativiteit en een knipoog op hun gemak te stellen, zodat zij het beste uit zichzelf kunnen halen. Een aanrader voor een ondernemende bijeenkomst. Humor verbindt!"
