Meet Martin ‘Murph’ Murphy
Murph Murph | Stoic Pilgrim Adventures CIC | Dynamic Team Walkshops | Wild Wisdom Coach | Retreat Alchemist
A philosophical adventurer and modern polymath, Murph operates at the frontier of uncertainty, pressure, and human potential — helping dynamic teams think clearly and act well when the maps stop working.
His path was shaped in the military and security worlds, remote environments, and complex operational contexts where decisions carry real consequences.
Murph has developed leadership capability within intelligence agents operating in hostile environments, firefighters working under extreme pressure, coached senior leaders in banking, business and government, and built security teams around the world to disrupt terrorism and drug smuggling within global aviation.
He is the author of ‘From Mercenaries to Missionaries’ – a practical and philosophical guide to designing high-performing, adaptive teams beyond hierarchy and outdated command-and-control models.
Murph’s work blends ancient philosophy, modern psychology, systems thinking, and ecological practice — often in motion, often outdoors — to cultivate calm under pressure, clear decision-making, and the ability to operate well inside complexity rather than attempting to control it.

🌄 The Stoic Pilgrim Fellowship – A men’s community for explorers and pioneers seeking wild wisdom and wellbeing through walking and talking in nature. Inspired by Socrates and Aristotle, the Fellowship offers retreats, walks, and adventures that bring perspective, reset the spirit, and nurture real camaraderie — a supportive and confidential space for men to explore, learn and turn intelligence into wisdom.
Why Now?
Because the old models are obsolete.
Because small, adaptive teams with vision and values will shape the future.Because humans aren’t widgets — we’re wild, creative, and capable of more than the systems we were born into.
