Send us a text What happens when a handful of idealists turn a quiet idea about human potential into a global movement—and then have to live with the power that follows? We sit down with Marcia Martin, whose new memoir, Sex, Power, and Transformation, peels back the curtain on the early days of EST (later Landmark), the boom in personal development, and the private reckoning behind public influence. She’s candid about the thrill of growth, the seduction of authority, and the moments that forced her back to center. We dig into the difference between timeless teachings and the systems that deliver them, and why great leaders refuse to hand out answers and instead create space for people to find their own. This conversation is also a toolkit. Marcia breaks down how the mind learns, why meditation is a skill, not a mood, and how to celebrate being a beginner. She shares searing losses, hard pivots, and a faith-infused commitment to alignment over applause. If you’re a coach, creator, or curious skeptic, you’ll leave with grounded strategies to quiet the mind, spot culty dynamics, and choose contribution over ego.
