35. Stefan Djordjevic: CEO & Founder of the Martian Company


Listen Later

From center stage to the cutting edge of tech, Stefan Djordjevic is a creative maverick who refuses to stay in any lane. He's the rare breed who can electrify a crowd with explosive dance moves at midnight and push viral products by sunrise. As the mastermind behind The Martian Company, he's built a studio that turns "impossible" into "done by Thursday."

While others talk about thinking outside the box, Stefan's busy building rocket ships out of them. He thrives in the pressure cooker - whether he's commanding the scene in award-winning performances or pulling all-nighters to launch a social network that shouldn't exist yet (but somehow does, 48 hours later).

Part performer, part tech pioneer, all innovator - Stefan represents a new breed of creative leader who doesn't just bridge the gap between arts and technology; he obliterates it. His work has become the force behind the kind of industry-shaking breakthroughs that don't just move the needle - they break the gauge.

Some of his master strokes include:

Fitness and Adventure:
Completed an Ironman after 4 months of training
Did 1 year of the 75 Hard Challenge
Became a SCUBA diver at age 12
Skydived out of a plane and got his cords twisted

Creative and Professional Achievements:
