Martin Stellar is a coach and consultant for ethical sales and business growth, as well as a former monk, tailor, and copywriter.
Martin has lived an incredibly rich life, with many creative and introspective adventures. He draws on his experiences and years of study in psychology and business, to provide guidance for professionals and entrepreneurs.
I met Martin earlier this year as I took up his offer on a coaching call, curious to see how his experience and framework would apply to this project, Design Disciplin. He gave me food for thought on the ethics and psychology of entrepreneurship that was far more useful and wider-ranging than I expected. In this conversation, we revisit some of those ideas, find some new ones, and dig into Martin’s extraordinary story. We discuss mental models that have value reaching far beyond sales and business – we arrive at frameworks we can use to align our professional and personal lives.
