  Entrepreneurship, Culture, and the Rise of Remarkable‑ism: Turnkey Founder Steven Martorelli’s Business Philosophy

  Aug 10, 202646 minS3

  In this episode of Sounds of Health, Dave sits down with Steven Martorelli — founder and CEO of Turnkey — for a deep dive into entrepreneurship, culture design, offshoring, and the personal growth philosophy he calls Remarkable‑ism. Steven shares how Turnkey evolved from a basement startup in 2009 into a global operation with a thriving team in the Philippines, and how intentional leadership, personal development, and workplace culture helped Turnkey become Connecticut’s #1 workplace, as ranked by the Harvard Business Journal. Steven opens up about the pivotal moments that shaped his business philosophy, including a transformative visit to Zappos, a major partnership breakup, and the realization that leaders can meaningfully influence employee well‑being both inside and outside the office. He explains how Turnkey’s offshoring model works, why culture is the backbone of every successful team, and how his framework for physical, mental, and spiritual growth is helping employees elevate their lives — not just their work. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a leader, or someone passionate about personal development, this conversation offers practical insights on building a modern business, creating a healthy workplace, and leading with intention.
