Martijn is a life coach helping people break through fears and limitations and find internal freedom to live a more authentic life. 
As an authenticity coach he guides by example by living in a van, following wherever the wind takes him, living the life he created for himself.

Martijn has a fresh new podcast with his friend Jesper, a mindset coach himself and it’s called the Growth Collective Podcast where they talk about real life struggles and how to deal with them. Their vision is to help people understand how the mind works and share tools to understand it and make it work in their favour, instead of against them.
