About Me
Entrepreneur learning to code with AI, building in public, and documenting the entire journey.
My Story
Nick Martin
I have always been fascinated by Internet technologies. My journey began back in 1998 when I was introduced to HTML. Not long after I was introduced to both chain letters and pyramid schemes, which I learned a lot from :)
At that point I knew my future was online and I started learning proper Internet marketing. From 2000 to 2012 I built countless Internet apps and websites, learning everything I could about affiliate marketing along the way.
In 2012 I moved to Bali, Indonesia to start work on an edutainment game for three Danish universities. The game was a success and from there I started MagLoft and have been focused on that ever since.
Now, I'm on a new journey: learning to code with AI and documenting every step. I'm using tools like Claude Code to build real software products, and sharing everything I learn - the wins, the failures, and the lessons in between.
What I Believe
On Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is the most powerful force for positive change. The best entrepreneurs combine vision with execution, empathy with analysis. Today, the barriers to starting a business are lower than ever, creating unprecedented opportunities.
On Technology
Technology should serve humanity. AI, blockchain, and martech are exciting frontiers with potential to solve our biggest challenges. But with great power comes responsibility - ethics must be at the forefront of innovation.
On Personal Growth
Growth happens outside your comfort zone. Sustainable success requires balance - physical health, mental wellbeing, relationships, and purpose. Small, consistent actions compound into remarkable results.
On Success
Success is personal and multidimensional. True success comes from alignment between your values, actions, and goals. The journey matters as much as the destination.
Beyond Work
Balance is crucial to success. Here's what I do outside of building software.
