Rapid Prototyping Your Product Before You Build It
Hello members and subscribers! The eleventh Moonshots Master episode is here and we are diving into Entrepreneurship and Rapid Prototyping!!Rapidly getting us into the mindset of trying and testing, we start with Walt Disney as he discusses how to use prototyping to find success. We then hear from the genius of Dyson, Sir James Dyson, who reflects on how the journey to innovation takes time. We are fully inspired after hearing Tom Wujec’s breakdown on how digital and physical methods of building products are uniting into the Future of Making.Now we’re ready to prototype, let’s learn from Whittlesea Tech School as they help inform what makes a prototype different to a product, and a description of what exactly a prototype is. We revisit Sir James Dyson again, as he speaks on the importance of prototypes to prove your technology works, as well as how to embrace and track failures.In our final chapter we dig into the Sprint process with Jake Knapp, who breaks down how to begin prototyping with your team today. We also hear from Angus Deveson from Maker's Muse as he discusses how to create and build physical prototypes that you should test to failure. We end our deep dive into rapid prototyping with the superstar himself, Tom Chi, who relives a story on iterating and stress testing any business model, and how it is the true essence of entrepreneurship.

Ken Robinson: The Element
The Element is the point at which natural talent meets personal passion. When people arrive at the Element, they feel most themselves and most inspired and achieve at their highest levels. With a wry sense of humor, Ken Robinson looks at the conditions that enable us to find ourselves in the Element and those that stifle that possibility. Drawing on the stories of a wide range of people, including Paul McCartney, Matt Groening, Richard Branson, Arianna Huffington, and Bart Conner, he shows that age and occupation are no barrier and that this is the essential strategy for transforming education, business, and communities in the twenty-first century"The Element offers life-altering insights about the discovery of your true best self." --Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Jim Carrey: Memoirs and Misinformation
Jim Carrey, Film Star, Survivor, Inspiration. From humble beginnings to superstardom, he joins an elite group of comedians who have spanned the acting chasm to achieve phenomenal success. His book; Memoirs and Misinformation is a fearless semi-autobiographical novel, a deconstruction of persona. In it, Jim Carrey and Dana Vachon have fashioned a story about acting, Hollywood, agents, celebrity, privilege, friendship, romance, addiction to relevance, fear of personal erasure, our "one big soul," Canada, and a cataclysmic ending of the world-apocalypses within and without."None of this is real and all of it is true." - Jim Carrey

Elon Musk - Habits of Success
Elon Musk is unstoppable! He's the most prolific and productive CEO of our times - he's even a bit cheeky. That's why we love him at the Moonshots Podcast. With his recent purchase of Twitter, he is now involved in over five revolutionary companies. So, we ask, 'how does Elon do it?'.Elon Musk co-founded the electronic payment firm PayPal and founded the spacecraft company SpaceX. He also is the founder of The Boring Company, and co-founder of Neuralink and OpenAI. And recently purchased social media giant Twitter.Musk's recent purchase of Twitter for $44 billion was widely covered around the globe. What isn't perhaps known is Musk's ability to multitask and focus on one business at a time truly; when the world was discussing Twitter, Musk was working with his engineers at SpaceX on rock engine "valve leak solutions".INTRO (WHY NOW?)Joe Rogan reflects on the purchase and why free speech mattersJoe Reacts to Elon Musk Buying Twitter (1m44)Elon Musk and the head of TED, Chris Anderson, talk open source Twitter at TED2022 this monthElon Musk Talks About His Plans for Twitter at TED (59s)PRODUCTIVITYElon Musk at SXSW breaks down his 'boring' approach to creativity and product creation.Be a doer (1m39)THINKING ABOUT PROBLEMSElon Musk's SATELLITE 2020 Opening Day Keynote, where he honestly (comedically) breaks down problem-solvingUse management by rhyming (48s)Mohammad Al Gergawi, in a conversation with Elon Musk during WGS17, discussed the art of collaboration.Have a great team (1m02)RESILIENCE (OUTRO)Elon Musk talks to Axios about Tesla being close to death during the production of Model 3Be willing to make sacrifices (1m06)READINGElon Musk: How the billionaire CEO of SpaceX and Tesla is shaping our future by Ashlee Vance

Managing People
Hello members and subscribers! The tenth Moonshots Master episode is here and we are diving into Leadership and Managing People!To get us inspired towards the topic of Managing People we start with the Moonshots Master himself, Simon Sinek, who tells us about his first job after college, and the importance of empathy. We then hear from the motivational powerhouse, Tony Robbins, who suggests that in order to lead - rather than manage - you need to be able to read your team first. The Apple leader, Steve Jobs, then discusses what made Apple so good at managing people, and how you have to be run by ideas, not hierarchy.Now we start framing the concept of Managing People in order to fully understand ways of approaching it. 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. Simon Sinek closes this section by breaking down the meaning behind ‘Leaders Eat Last'.In our adoption section, we hear techniques that help us reframe our approaches to managing people. MindToolsVideos breakdown and explain the GROW model. Closing the Master Series show we hear from Simon Sinek once more, as he explains how to build relationships that inspire change, and how mentorship is like friendship.What key lesson are you taking from this Master Series show? Get in touch and let us know! Thanks for listening. That’s a wrap.
