Escaping The Matrix: How I raised $300 Million | Max Marka (Ep.1)

In this episode of the Key Figures Podcast, we sit down with Max Marka — the creative brain behind Maxique: a luxury fashion brand born out of purpose, power, and pure ambition.
He talks masculinity, mental battles, high-stakes business, and how the Matrix nearly controlled his path.
If you’re building something big — or feel stuck in the system — this one’s for you.
