Education

Martin graduated with Bachelor of Arts in Social and Political Studies & Film and Media Studies at the University of Ballarat in Australia, a school known for its top Mining program. He finished his Master in Entrepreneurship at the Asian Institute of Management. Andanar pursued further graduate studies at the University of the Philippines Diliman but found it hard to balance work with education. On June 2009, he went to Georgetown University in Washington DC for a Leadership seminar. He also completed a Senior Executive Fellows Program at the Harvard Kennedy School, Harvard University on March 2010 thereafter. Neither one of these programs from Georgetown or Harvard are degree programs.

A considerable amount of his practical education came from managing podcast.ph and audio.ph, an independent podcast production and audio blog Martin initiated. Further enlightenment was achieved when Andanar hosted his own podcast show called "Martin's Mancave" which had a small but dedicated anonymous following.
