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.

Hosts Mike and Kenny discuss the blockbusting film adaptation of Act 1 of the musical Wicked which stars Cynthia Erivo, and Ariana Grande. Directed by Jon M. Chu. Wicked Pt. 1offers the back story of The Wizard of Oz's Glinda the Good Witch and the Wicked Witch of the West as well as the Wizard. Cynthia Erivo stars as Elphaba, a child conceived via an affair with green skin and rejected by her father. Ariana Grande stars as Galinda, born into wealth and influence and seemingly perfect. Galinda and Elphaba become roommates and rivals at Shiz University where both quickly become the center of attention, and eventually friends. The film features outstanding vocal performances by Erivo and Grande as well as very strong visuals and production design. Jeff Goldbloom co-stars as the Wizard with Michelle Yeoh co-starring as Madame Morrible, the professor of magic. Jonathan Bailey co-stars as the romantic Prince Fiyero. Faith Spotted: The question of God in L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Where does evil / wickedness come from? The ability for narratives to cast wickedness on those undeserving of it as well as hide the wickedness and evil of others. Though our faith teaches we are all born into sin, what roll does environtmental elements and circumstances play in becoming evil/wicked? All persons are created by and are beloved children of God, therefore as persons of faith we are called to respect and preserve the agency of "others" regardless of their faith or place. As Christians we can celebrate the defeat of evil and the removal of the threat of evil and wickedness but we are not to celebrate the suffering or death of those who commit evil or wicked acts as this violates Christ's command to love all persons, even our enemies, as well as the command to forgive even one's enemies. While it can seem impossible, we are called to do so and can be empowered by God to do so. Persons of the Christian faith are not to blame persons or punish them for the sins of others. Article with novelist Gregory Maguire regarding faith present in Wicked. https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2024/11/20/q-and-wicked-author-gregory-maguire-souls-saints-religion-oz-249323

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.

Our latest podcast episode explores a key developer's dilemma: Should they go deep or wide in technical mastery? Hosts Mike and Rob dissect this decision, focusing primarily on platforms and technology. The Developer's Dilemma: Technical Mastery Unveiled Embracing Breadth: The Power of Versatility First, Rob advocates for a broad approach. He emphasizes being well-versed across technologies, languages, and frameworks. Create a technical roadmap and regularly explore new tech. Stay adaptable and informed with wide skills. This enhances career prospects and understanding of tools' strengths/weaknesses. Going Deep: Delving into Technical Mastery Alternatively, Mike advocates deep specialization in one area. He promotes technical mastery and specialization in that domain. Broad knowledge has benefits, but going deep excels. However, continued learning and adaptation within specialization avoid stagnation, which remains relevant in rapidly evolving fields. Practical Application: Building Projects for Technical Mastery Next, the hosts discuss the importance of using practical applications. They recommend building projects/apps to solidify learning and showcase skills. Repositories like GitHub are valuable for storing and revisiting projects. Utilizing these tools allows developers to learn and grow over time. Finding Balance: Navigating the Depth vs. Breadth Conundrum In addition, the hosts emphasize the need for balance. Listeners are encouraged to find their own path and combine depth and breadth in their technical expertise. They suggest investing time and effort into learning and experimentation through side projects or professional development opportunities. Forge Your Path to Technical Mastery Finally, the hosts remind listeners that technology is constantly evolving. Therefore, the key to success requires adaptability and continuous learning. Whether specializing or generalizing (deep vs. wide), developers must stay curious and flexible. They must proactively pursue knowledge and technical mastery.

Hosts Mike and Kenny review and spot faith elements reflected in the Academy Award nominated film by Celine Song. Past Lives stars Greta Lee (Nora) and Teo Yoo (Hae Sung) who were childhood friends and first loves, separated suddenly when Nora's family immigrated from South Korea to Canada. The film co-stars John Magaro (Arthur) who meets and marries Nora after she moved to New York. Nora and Hae Sung reconnect via social media after 12 years. Following another 12 year gap Hae Sung travels to New York to see Nora and meets Arthur. Faith Reflected: The importance of pursuing one's passion and perhaps one's life calling. Then the importance of accepting the life you have and are blessed with rather than sacrificing the life you should have for the life you had and or did not have. Mark 1:35-39 Paul's teaching in 1st Corinthians 13 that one puts away the things of childhood when one becomes an adult. One can easily covet the past life or the life that might have been rather than accepting and embracing the life one has been blessed with. Understanding that the persons, relationships and experience in our loved one's past life has made them the person one now loves.
