For years, I’ve been building —
Businesses, homes, products, trust.
And more importantly — myself. As a person. As a warrior.
Today I lead MART Bespoke Properties,
where architecture meets capital and emotion.
I’ve worked across 20+ countries,
dealt with billionaires and global companies,
closed complex international deals —
and practiced martial arts for over 20 years.
I never rushed to speak.
I was too busy doing.
But recently, I lost a close friend — Victor.
He was that notorious Russian who was killed during a New Year trip to Georgia. We used to go fishing and smile together… Indeed, the Death is one of few totally real things in life.
A brutal loss. A blow to all of us.
And it pushed me to open up.
To finally share the hidden stash I’ve been collecting all these years.
The only time to live, act, or speak — is now.
This Substack is where I finally speak.
Not to teach.
But to share what works and tell some cool stories.
Topics I’ll explore:
Strategic clarity in chaotic times
Designing spaces that shape thought and value
Building trust and navigating complex deals
Discipline, intuition, and movement from martial arts
Creative leadership and real project execution
Selling without selling your soul
I write for a global audience, as I always have. Russia – a place where I live – is going through hard times internationally, but I remain open to people of any nationality – as I always have been since my 20’s.
My goal is to reconnect with like-minded people — and offer insight from Moscow with no filters.
If you’re building something real —
as a founder, strategist, creator, or warrior — subscribe.
Let’s connect. Let’s grow.
Best regards,
Alexey MART
