Devin Martin is the founder of the executive life coaching company LifeStyle Integrity. His purpose is to bring wisdom to power. His passion is helping leaders make life-altering decisions.
Because of his core belief that the fate of both humanity and the planet hinges on the decisions that our leaders make, he has since dedicated his career to raising the consciousness of those whose decisions have the biggest impact. His work is rooted in the belief that capitalism, done well, can be a force for good in the world. As an executive life coach, he is able to support leaders through both personal and professional development.
His approach integrates expertise in physical and mental health, relationships, and spirituality as well as business. His work is focused on helping individuals and corporations align their efforts with both cutting edge science and their hearts.
Today, Devin shares with me how he used to live a double life before discovering lifestyle integrity. He takes me back in time to his months spent in a log cabin after leaving New York City's busy life behind. We talk about everything from chasing external markers of success to fear, insecurity, and the lack of fulfillment. My guest tells me how we can rewrite our internal narrative. Stay tuned until the end when Devin reveals how we can escape the wealth trap and develop a dream life and career. Before he shares his definition of success, he generously introduces me and you, the audience, to a bedtime mental exercise that can prove to be life-changing.
I’m very grateful for this special hour we had together.
I trust you’ll enjoy it as much as I did. Please help me welcome — Devin Martin.
