👋 About Us

At Martell Media, we’re on a mission to inspire people to become the best versions of themselves and share their transformations with the world.

Founded by serial entrepreneur and investor Dan Martell (investor in Udemy, Intercom, and Unbounce), we’re building a company that values leadership, growth, and simplicity. We’re looking for people who live those values too.

At the heart of everything we do:

1️⃣ Be the example…growth mindset
2️⃣ Build the people…we build people, the people build the business
3️⃣ Simple scales…we scale with simplicity, not complexity
