Everything Why with Michael Martin
Everything Why with Michael Martin
Podcast Description
Welcome to Everything Why, I’m your host Mike Martin. This is a podcast about the journey of an inventor and disruptor. I invent to because it gives me purpose and I disrupt because it’s important to question the status quo—not to create chaos.
During this podcast series, we’ll unravel the 'whys' behind our actions—why we laugh, cry, work, do good, or sometimes stumble into darker paths. We’ll talk with fellow inventors and experts, along with people who have been a part of my life, both personal and professional.
Join me as we uncover the essence behind every aspect of life, because in everything, there's a 'why' waiting to be explored. personal Substack michael343.substack.com
