Margo welcomes internationally acclaimed lettering artist, illustrator, author, and creative mentor Martina Flor to the show. Originally trained as a graphic designer in Argentina, Martina took a leap of faith that led her to Berlin — and eventually to building one of the most recognized lettering studios in the world. Through bold choices, ongoing experimentation, and a belief in the power of claiming your identity, she has carved out a career filled with artistry, entrepreneurship, and community.

Martina opens up about what it really looks like to follow your passion before the world has validated it — from printing "lettering artist" on her business cards long before she had clients, to trusting that the right environment and relationships can transform everything.

Margo and Martina discuss:

• Martina's journey from Argentina to Berlin and how a new environment shaped her career
• The moment she claimed the title "lettering artist" — and the ripple effect it created
• Why community, mentorship, and visibility are essential for creative growth
• How to charge confidently and build a financially sustainable art career
• Key business strategies for finding clients and marketing your work authentically
• The importance of a supportive team behind any thriving creative business
• Balancing commercial work with personal projects and ongoing learning
• Using storytelling to build a magnetic brand that attracts aligned clients
• Navigating transitions and creative risk with curiosity and courage
• Her advice for artists who want to turn passion into profession — without burning out
