We learn from Seth Godin that leaders must take responsibility, and inspire teams without using fear. Author and personal development trainer Brendon Burchard encourages us to be patient, and keep humanity the focus of collaboration and management, even when dealing with frustrating people. Sim

Episode 170: Daniel H. Pink: 'Regret is not dangerous or abnormal, it is healthy and universal, an integral part of being human', Daniel H. Pink writes in his provocative and eye-opening new book. The Power Of Regret. 'Done right, it needn't bring us down; it can lift us up.'Drawing from research in social psychology, neuroscience, biology, and more, as well as from more than 10,000 people in 35 countries around the world who responded to his World Regret Survey - the largest of its kind ever conducted - Pink challenges the idea of regret being a drag on our self-esteem and outlook.

Hello members and subscribers! The eighth Moonshots Master episode is an under-considered topic in Personal development and transformation: FINDING YOUR PURPOSE.To prove the value of knowing your purpose, we hear from all-time great Moonshotters. Kyle Maynard explains why we should find our purpose and how making excuses is what makes you incapable of success. We then hear from Dan Millman who says we all need to learn to enjoy the journey of your life, and not let our ego drive our emotions. Breaking down the illusion of originality, we have Elizabeth Gilbert stating that authenticity and action shouldn’t be limited by what’s been done before.Now that we're ready to understand the full value of knowing our purpose, we listen to Mark Manson and The Diary of a CEO discuss why we all need to figure out what you want in order to disregard the less important stuff. Two Moonshot heavy-weights break down rethinking cycles together, with Adam Grant and Shane Parrish discussing keeping your sense of identity separate

Mark Manson says most of us struggle throughout our lives by giving too many f’s in situations where f’s do not deserve to be given. Finding something important and meaningful in your life is the most productive use of your time and energy. This is true because every life has problems associated with it and finding meaning in your life will help you sustain the effort needed to overcome the particular problems you face.  In his book, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, we can say that the key to living a good life is not giving a f’s about more things, but rather, giving a f- only about the things that align with your personal values.  Thanks to our monthly supporters Mike Edwin Deitch Jamie Dorward Emily Rose Banks Malcolm Magee Natalie Ryan N.

Hello members and subscribers! It’s time for our seventh Moonshots Master episode, and we are tackling a huge topic: ENTREPRENEURSHIP.To get us started we hear from some of the most well-known and highly regarded entrepreneurs and authors out there. Darren Hardy kicks us off with a breakdown of what it means to be an ‘Exception’ and how it takes guts to succeed. We then hear Steve Jobs’ entrepreneur story and how he battled against settling for less. Continuing our journey into inspiration Warren Buffet motivates us by stating how he ‘tap dances to work’.Now we are inspired. It's time to learn the hard truths about being an entrepreneur, and who better to share wisdom than Elon Musk who had to contend with criticism from his heroes.

What is the E-Myth?  It is the myth that if you are good at doing “something,” you can turn that “something” into a profitable business.  But, being good at something is.not.enough.The E-Myth Revisited explains why 80% of small businesses fail, and how to ensure yours isn't among those by building a company that's based on systems and not on the work of a single individual.Michael Gerber advocates doing a lot of thinking on the front end to prevent you from maneuvering yourself into a situation you can’t get out of.

66% of small businesses fail, and it’s not for the reasons you think. So why do they fail?  That is what Darren Hardy set out on a mission to discover in The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster. What he found was startling. All the previously reported reasons and assumptions for the failure rate (capital, location, credit, inventory management, and competition) were wrong.Failure was not due to outside factors--they were internal. They weren't economic--they were emotional. The unexpected and terrifying emotional roller coaster an entrepreneur experiences is the greatest factor in why most quit and ultimately fail.

Dame Zaha Hadid born October 31, 1950, died March 31, 2016. She was known as the “Queen of the Curve” for buildings such as the Heydar Aliyev Center in Azerbaijan with its gently sloping and yet zany curves. She was an Iraqi-born British architect known for her radical deconstructivist designs. In 2004 she became the first woman to be awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize. Only rarely does an architect emerge with a philosophy and approach to the art form that influences the direction of the entire field. Such an architect is Zaha Hadid who created and set new boundaries for the art of architecture.
