The roast
Dan Martell spent his youth in jail and his adulthood selling a book on how to buy back your time, which is just a fancy way of saying he’s spent his entire career finding new ways to avoid actually working. He claims he’s scaling startups, but he’s really just a guy selling a time-management manual to people who don't have enough time because they’re too busy reading his posts.
About Dan
From jail cell to scaling multiple 8-figure businesses - my journey wasn't supposed to work out this way.At 17, I found myself in adult jail facing serious charges. Most people's stories like mine don't end well. But that rock bottom became my foundation.I taught myself to code, built and sold 3 tech companies, and invested in over 60 startups including Intercom, Udemy, and Unbounce. Yet my biggest success wasn't financial - it was discovering that the right guidance at the right time changes everything.That's why I created Martell Media.I've watched too many brilliant founders struggle with the same challenges:• Working 80+ hours while growth flatlines• Building a business that owns them instead of serves them• Sacrificing health and relationships for a dream that keeps moving further awaySound familiar?Since 2016, I've dedicated my life to helping founders scale their companies while buying back their time. My coaching has helped clients grow from 7 to 8 figures, implement systems that let them work 20+ fewer hours weekly, and build businesses that serve their lives - not consume them.My book "Buy Back Your Time" became a Wall Street Journal bestseller and #1 business book on Amazon because it addresses the fundamental challenge all entrepreneurs face: how to create freedom through your business, not despite it.If you're ready to scale your company while reclaiming your life, let's connect. The entrepreneurial journey is challenging enough - you don't have to figure it out alone.🔗 Join 300,000+ entrepreneurs receiving my weekly insights: https://bit.ly/3VMkoG

You are the most expensive liability in your business. Here are 9 signs it's already happening and exactly how to fix each one: 1. Every decision waits for you. → List every decision routed through you this week and transfer the three that never needed your judgment. 2. Your calendar runs you, not the other way around. → Block your highest-value hours first and schedule everything else around them. 3. The business stops when you do. → Pick one process that depends on you, record yourself doing it and narrate as you go, then hand it off. 4. Your team brings you problems instead of decisions.

People don't leave companies. They leave bad leaders. And most leaders have no idea they're the problem. They were great at their job, so you promoted them. Now they're mediocre at leading and your best people are secretly updating their resumes. Here's what separates leaders worth following from those driving people out the door: 1. Vision - They create a future people want to help build 2. Integrity - They do what they say, especially when it's hard 3. Action - They set the standard and stand on it. 4. Empathy - They see team members as humans, not resources 5. Communication - They liste
