In this episode of the Moonshots Podcast, Mike and Mark unpack one of the most direct and actionable productivity books out there: Do It Today by Darius Foroux.

Are you constantly planning but rarely executing? Distracted from your goals by a never-ending feed of notifications and interruptions? Then this episode is your wake-up call. Foroux doesn’t preach hustle culture or productivity for productivity’s sake. Instead, he lays down a blueprint for doing the work that matters — starting today.

🔍 What You’ll Learn:

Why execution beats perfection
In the clip “Be an Executor” (2m58), Darius drives home the most important message of the book: success belongs to those who act. It’s not about being the smartest or the most prepared — it’s about starting now.
How to eliminate distractions
In “Dealing with Distractions” (1m16), Foroux gets real about what’s getting in the way of our work: our phones, emails, and even our endless to-do lists. He shares ways to take back your attention so you can focus on deep, meaningful work.
The lie of motivation
Motivation is unreliable. It comes and goes. Darius shows us that the key to lasting productivity is building systems and habits that keep you moving forward even when you’re not “in the mood.”
Why time is your most valuable asset
With powerful reminders that time is non-renewable, Foroux challenges us to stop waiting for the perfect time — and start doing the work today.
