The book outlines ten simple steps to make sharing your work and ideas less daunting. Here are some key concepts: 1. You Don’t Have to Be a Genius: Focus on the process, not the product. Share your journey and the work you do daily. Kleon emphasizes that you don’t need to be an expert to share your work. Instead, being a learner and sharing your progress can inspire others. 2. Think Process, Not Product: Show your process, the behind-the-scenes work, and how you make what you make. Sharing the steps and thought processes involved in your work makes it more relatable and exciting to others. It can also help you build a community around your creative process. 3. Share Something Small Every Day: Consistently share small bits of your work, including notes, sketches, and ideas. This habit keeps your audience engaged and allows them to follow your creative journey. It also helps you build momentum and stay motivated. 4. Open Up Your Cabinet of Curiosities: Share your influences and inspirations. Let others see what you find interesting. You provide context for your work and help others discover new ideas and perspectives by showcasing what inspires you. 5. Tell Good Stories: Learn to tell your work story and journey. People are drawn to stories because they create emotional connections and make your work more memorable. Developing storytelling skills can help you communicate your ideas more effectively. 6. Teach What You Know: Share your knowledge and what you’ve learned. Teaching can be a great way to connect with others. By explaining your methods and insights, you help others and reinforce your understanding and expertise. 7. Don’t Turn Into Human Spam: Be genuine in your sharing, and don’t overwhelm people with self-promotion. Authenticity is critical to building trust and a loyal audience. Share valuable content that reflects your true interests and passions. 8. Learn to Take a Punch: Be prepared for criticism and learn how to handle it constructively. Criticism is a natural part of sharing your work publicly. Use it as an opportunity to learn and improve rather than letting it discourage you. 9. Sell Out: Don’t be afraid to sell your work. Make it easy for people to buy from you. While sharing for free can build an audience, it’s also essential to recognize the value of your work and provide ways for people to support you financially. 10. Stick Around: Stay consistent, keep working, and share. Success doesn’t happen overnight, and persistence is essential in any creative endeavor. You increase your chances of long-term success by continuously sharing your work and staying engaged with your audience.About Moonshots Podcast:The Moonshots Podcast is your go-to source for unleashing the best possible version of yourself.

  • Let Them by Mel Robbins. Break free from fear and self-doubt.

    Let Them by Mel Robbins. Break free from fear and self-doubt.
    Apr 21 2025

    What if peace of mind could be found in just two words?

    In this eye-opening episode of the Moonshots Podcast, hosts Mike and Mark explore Mel Robbins's viral wisdom and groundbreaking mindset shift: the Let Them theory.

    Built on the idea that true growth comes from letting go, this episode is packed with stories, strategies, and Stoic inspiration to help you reclaim your focus and free your mind.

    🧠 What You’ll Learn

    🔹 Intro to the “Let Them” Theory (Clip: 2m45)

    Mel opens the episode by explaining where the Let Them theory came from—and why it resonated with millions. Whether it's your partner, your boss, or your critics on the internet, Robbins argues that we spend too much time reacting to other people’s behavior. Instead of fighting it, just... let them. It’s not about giving up; it’s about gaining your freedom.

    🔹 Shift Your Focus, Reclaim Your Power (Clip: 4m09)

    In a deeply personal story, Mel reveals a turning point where she recognized the emotional toll of trying to manage others. She explains how she shifted her focus back to her own goals and values—highlighting how “letting them” also means letting yourself thrive.

    🔹 Wisdom from the Stoics with Ryan Holiday (Clip: 49s)

    Modern Stoic Ryan Holiday joins the conversation with a powerful connection between Mel’s theory and ancient philosophy. Echoing thinkers like Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, Holiday reminds us that peace comes not from control, but from surrendering to what is outside our influence. The takeaway? Let it be.

    🔹 Letting Go Is an Act of Strength (Clip: 2m18)

    In her closing thoughts, Mel offers a grounded and realistic view: letting others go their own way doesn’t mean you’re weak—it means you’re wise. Recognizing the ability of others to make their own choices allows you to stop micromanaging the world and start focusing on your own.

  • Neil Pasricha: The Happiness Equation

    Neil Pasricha: The Happiness Equation
    Apr 7 2025

    In this inspiring and practical episode, hosts Mike and Mark explore The Happiness Equation by Neil Pasricha—a powerful guidebook for living a life full of joy, meaning, and intention.


    Neil starts with profoundly reflecting on the moment that inspired him to write the book, as shared on BT Network. From there, we unpack the book's central ideas through three transformative sections: Want Nothing, Do Anything, Have Everything.


    In the first act—Want Nothing—

    Neil reveals his top three tips for instantly shifting into a happier mindset. He breaks down the small, simple things that have the biggest emotional impact. Learn how gratitude and perspective can immediately shift your internal world.


    Next—Do Anything—

    We dive into the concept of time and freedom. With Brian Johnson's (Optimize) help, we explore how protecting your time is one of the most excellent tools for happiness. Learn how to time-block effectively and preserve your energy for the most important things.


    Finally—Have Everything—

    This section flips conventional wisdom on its head. Instead of waiting for success to be happy, Neil and Brian explain how doing is the key. Through the “Do Circle,” we see how taking action—no matter how small—leads to momentum, growth, and true satisfaction.


    The episode wraps with a hard-hitting dose of truth from Neil on CityTV, including the powerful and counterintuitive idea that we must overvalue ourselves to realize our full potential.


    Whether you’re chasing goals or just trying to feel more present and content day to day, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you redesign your equation for happiness.


    💬 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:


    • Why happiness must come before success
    • How to build a happy mindset every morning
    • The power of time-blocking to reclaim your life
    • How doing leads to having (not the other way around)
    • Why overvaluing yourself might be the boost you need
