Over the last eight years of Moonshots, we've explored the work of hundreds of authors, entrepreneurs, scientists, artists, educators, and innovators. We've studied creativity from every angle imaginable. We've looked at the habits of musicians, the methods of filmmakers, the thinking of scientists, the systems of entrepreneurs, and the practices of some of the most creative people who have ever lived.As we prepare to launch a new creativity series on Moonshots, beginning with Steven Kotler's *The Art of the Impossible*, I wanted to pause and reflect on what we've learned so far.What surprised me most wasn't how different these thinkers are. It was how often they arrived at the same conclusions.A legendary music producer, a bestselling novelist, the founder of Pixar, one of history's greatest physicists, an education visionary, and a pair of Stanford design professors all seem to be pointing toward the same set of principles.Creativity is not a gift possessed by a lucky few.It is a practice.It is a way of approaching problems, ideas, opportunities, and life itself.In this episode, I share eight creative practices that have had the biggest impact on my own work as a founder, advisor, podcaster, writer, speaker, software builder, and lifelong learner.The first lesson comes from Rick Rubin and *The Creative Act*. One of the most valuable ideas I've taken from Rick is the importance of showing up early and allowing ideas time to develop. Great work rarely appears on demand. Whenever I'm preparing a keynote, building a product, creating content, or solving a difficult client problem, I start earlier than I need to. I immerse myself in the work and then let it sit. I allow ideas to ferment. Some of my best work has emerged not from pushing harder, but from creating enough space for intuition and imagination to do their job.Elizabeth Gilbert's *Big Magic* offers another powerful reminder. Momentum is more important than perfection. I see perfectionism derail founders every week. They delay launches, delay decisions, delay customer conversations, and delay progress because they want everything to be perfect. The reality is that creative people create. They publish. They ship. They learn. Progress compounds. Perfection delays.Austin Kleon's *Show Your Work* reinforces this principle. Big achievements are usually the result of many small outputs shared consistently over time. Moonshots itself is a perfect example. The show didn't grow because of one viral episode. It grew because Mark and I showed up repeatedly for years. Small contributions, delivered consistently, eventually become meaningful bodies of work.Walt Disney reminds us to dream first and judge later. Too many ideas are destroyed before they have a chance to grow. Whether it's our own self-talk or feedback from others, premature judgement can suffocate creativity. Disney's genius was creating environments where imagination could run free before practicality entered the conversation. Creativity often requires us to suspend disbelief long enough to discover what might be possible.Ed Catmull, in *Creativity, Inc.*, extends this idea even further. He argues that unfinished ideas need safety. Great ideas rarely arrive fully formed. They emerge through discussion, experimentation, and collaboration. Teams that create psychological safety unlock more creativity because people feel comfortable sharing incomplete thoughts. Innovation depends on creating environments where ideas can evolve rather than be evaluated too early.Ken Robinson's work on *The Element* introduces one of my favourite questions. Rather than asking what your passion is, ask yourself what feels good. What activities energise you? What work absorbs your attention?

Brett Hurt returns to Austin Next for the fourth time, more than any guest in the show's history, to argue that the hardest problem in front of us is psychological. Abundance is already on a clear technological path, and the thing most likely to stop us is the fear center we carried off the savannah. He walks through the four technologies he calls the Superfecta: AI, robotics, quantum computing, and brain-computer interfaces, and why they land together rather than in sequence. The stakes are the Great Filter and to make it through to abundance or destroy ourselves. His book lands June 23, and this conversation is the argument it rests on.Agenda0:00 Love is hard, fear is hijacked 10:21 Cooked food and broken business models 18:04 Mocktails, birth rates, and Bhutan 25:52 Moonshots and the James Webb sublime 30:42 Why aliens would be benevolent 36:13 The Superfecta changes everything 41:52 Capitalism, Chad, and abundance 51:40 Old Austin, wizards, and prophets 58:33 The nuclear math nobody wants 1:02:37 How the podcast made him hopeful 1:11:09 Open source wins the next hingeGuest Bio & LinksBrett Hurt: X, LinkedIn, Love Conquers Fear PodcastLove Conquers Fear: Humanity, AI, and the Age of Abundance for AllBrett Hurt is a serial tech entrepreneur, investor, and author.

Hey yall, Alex here, let me catch you up! I came back from vacation expecting to cover Fable 5 after a week of using it. The first two days after we all first got access to a Mythos level model were super exciting! But then the news hit, US Government issued an order banning Anthropic from giving access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 to any foreign national, causing Anthropic to pull the models completely (even internally to their employees!). So, this wasn't the show I planned, but it turned into a great show about Open Source, as two models hit the top rankings and are both MIT licence, filling a Fable shaped hole in our hearts!GLM released 5.2 with folks really excited about it web building capabilities, and Kimi 2.7 Code released (and is available on CW Inference with crazy speeds!). We also saw the SpaceX IPO and Cursor $60B acquisition, Noam Shazeer joining Open and Midjourney, the image company, launching a new Ultrasound full body scanner to kill MRIs! Great show today with Dexter Horthy from HumanLayer, Chris Van Pelt and Adrian Swanberg from W&B announcing our new product HiveMind and Tanishq Abraham came back to help cover Midjourney's new Ultrasound scanner! Let's dive in!ThursdAI - Highest signal weekly AI news show is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The US Government bans Fable 5! (X, Anthropic statement)Here's a story in 3 parts: * Anthropic announces Mythos 5 preview - saying that this model is to dangerous to release, and only gives corporations access to it via project GlassWing. * Anthropic works hard on limitations and safery and releases Fable 5 (same weights as Mythos 5) built with guardrails so strong it refuses to do any cybersecurity tasks and switches back to Opus frequently* US Government receives a tip (reportedly from Amazon) that Fable 5 can be jailbroken to do cybersecurity tasks, and issues an order to Anthropic, citing national security concerns, banning them from giving access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 to any foreign national, causing Anthropic to pull the models completely (even internally to their employees!)This is the first time that we see the US Government directly intervene in the AI space and restrict access to frontier models. The most updated reporting on this I could find is that Anthropic and US Government officials are in the process of negotiating a safe release framework. Given that preventing all jailbreaks is impossible, I hope they will land on a solution that gives me Fable 5 back!This hit especially hard because last week we were all high on Fable. Not in the usual AI Twitter benchmark sense, in the actual “oh, this is a different level” sense. Me and my wife Fable maxxed throughout our flight to Vacation. Peter had saved outputs he kept going back to because other models suddenly felt like a step down. Dexter later said it was the closest he had felt in a while to the old “I need to keep prompting this thing overnight” feeling.Peter Gostev made a point that stuck with me. It's easy for us in the bubble to call this ridiculous, and on the technical merits it kind of is. But if you've spent weeks telling normal people “this thing is like a nuclear weapon, it'll take everyone's jobs,” and then someone asks “okay, can you make it safe?” and the answer is “no, I can't,” then you can see how an outsider lands on “well, maybe you shouldn't have it.” His takeaway, and I agree: we need to be way more careful with the imagery we use, because the nuclear-weapon framing came home to roost.The bigger questions are the scary ones. Wolfram framed it as a sovereign AI wake-up call, and he's right. For the first time we're seeing a real gap in intelligence available to people based on their nationality. Imagine building a company on a model that an outside government can switch off with one letter. Peter pointed out it's commercially bad for the US but completely disastrous for Europe, which has basically one frontier lab and a pile of startups that suddenly look very exposed. And there's the obvious irony Nisten enjoyed a little too much: the Europeans who spent years lecturing everyone about AI restrictions just got restrictions imposed on them.If anyone in the government is listening: we want Fable back, please.SpaceX IPOs and acquires Cursor for $60B (X)SpaceX went and did the largest IPO in the history of the world, around seventy-five billion dollars, which on a roughly two-trillion-dollar valuation made Elon the first trillionaire. (Did anything materially change for him? No. He can still fly his private plane. There's nothing left to buy.) Three days later, SpaceX exercised its option and bought Cursor (Anysphere) for sixty billion dollars in an all-stock deal, paid in shares minted at the IPO and now trading around $211. The four Cursor co-founders are all billionaires now. Largest software acquisition ever, and for SpaceX it's barely a blip on the radar.Why are we covering a stock-market story? Because it's not really a coding-tools story, it's an AI story. Cursor gave away its IDE to a lot of people while collecting their data, then quietly became a training company with Composer. SpaceX/xAI was always strong on compute and weak on code, and the missing ingredient was exactly that kind of data. Now Composer 2.5 is already showing up rebranded inside the xAI stack, and if you pay for X Premium you can use it. Composer 3, trained on the Memphis supercluster, is reportedly coming very soon and is going to hit hard.Nisten's take was the spicy one. For the data alone it's worth it, because xAI now has insight into how essentially every enterprise that touched Cursor operates. And he had zero sympathy for the companies that assumed “no data retention for training” meant the data was actually gone. We see in legal cases all the time that deleted data is still there. His view: it should have gone open source.Cursor has over a million paying customers, $2.6 billion in revenue, projected to hit $6 to $10 billion by end of 2026. But here's the thing that matters for us, the AI coding angle. Cursor was one of Anthropic's biggest revenue pipelines because Composer runs on Claude under the hood. That pipeline is now owned by xAI. They're already jointly training Grok 4.3, a 1.5 trillion parameter model, with Cursor's proprietary coding data injected directly into pre-training, not fine-tuning. Pre-training. That's a fundamentally different thing. Composer 2.5 was already Pareto dominant on coding benchmarks before the deal closed. Now pair that with Colossus, the biggest GPU cluster in the world.Will this be enough to put XAI (now SpaceXAI) at the frontline of the AI race? Will Grok 5 be Fable level code? We'll find out. Either way, this is the most consequential AI acquisition we've seen. Period.Open Source AI GLM-5.2 takes the open source crown (X, Blog, HF, Docs)Z.ai dropped GLM-5.2 and it's now the strongest open source model for coding and long-horizon work. The headline number: 74.4% on FrontierSWE, which measures whether an agent can finish full engineering projects over hours. That trails Opus 4.8 by about one point and beats GPT-5.5. On Terminal-Bench 2.1 it jumps to 81% from GLM-5.1's 63.5%, which is a big leap. It's a 753B parameter MoE, MIT licensed, no regional restrictions, weights on HuggingFace. The 1M context window is real and usable, backed by a clever IndexShare technique that cuts per-token FLOPs by about 2.9x at full context. People are reporting roughly 8x cost savings versus Opus 4.8 for comparable quality on real coding tasks.The most interesting thing on the show was that this was a confusing release, in a good way. Peter put it well: normally a catching-up lab ships cherry-picked benchmarks and then independent testing deflates them. Here it's the opposite, almost every benchmark holds up, even crossing above Fable at certain points, and yet when he actually used it over a couple of days he wasn't blown away. His verdict, and I think it's the calibration we needed: this is clearly an amazing model, and the fact that it's open and you can run it is incredible, but it is nowhere near Fable, and it would frankly be implausible if a 700-odd-billion-parameter model matched a model that's rumored to be in the trillions. Though, I think the comparison to Fable is really really unfair, and the comments online seem to suggest that 5.2 from GLM is a banger model. Just looking at this Harvey benchmark on legal tasks from Vals, a benchmark that there's 0 chance Z.ai folks have seen! GLM 5.2 scores #3 on this benchmark! Just after Fable and Opus, and per TeorTaxes on X, previous GLM 5.1 scored an absolute 0% on this one! Where it genuinely shines is design. On Design Arena, which is a head-to-head ELO vote, people have been picking GLM-5.2's website designs over Fable's by a real margin (around 1360 to 1350). LDJ's framing is the one I buy: specialization is becoming valuable again, and GLM is clearly leaning into front-end design and taste. Wolfram added the necessary asterisk, every benchmark only tells you the model did well on that specific test, so “as good as Fable” should always carry the “on this benchmark, with these tasks” disclaimer. Fair. I'd just say this: I don't want to compare everything to Fable, because we can't even use Fable anymore. Compared to the models we can actually touch, GLM-5.2 is a fantastic deal.Kimi K2.7 Code from Moonshot (X, HF, Announcement)The other big drop. Kimi is the darling of open source while we wait on DeepSeek, and Moonshot shipped K2.7 Code, a 1 trillion parameter MoE built specifically for coding, available through Kimi Code and the API, with a modified MIT license. The standout for me isn't a single benchmark, it's efficiency: roughly 30% fewer reasoning tokens than K2.6, which matters enormously when you're running long agentic loops that burn tokens like crazy. Benchmark jumps over K2.6 are real (+21.8% on their Code Bench v2, +11% on Program Bench), though Peter and Wolfram both noticed something odd, on a few benchmarks including their Agentic Arena, the older K2.6 actually edged out K2.7. The likely explanation is that K2.7 is narrowly trained for code with reduced reasoning, so it may trade away some general capability. Moonshot themselves recommend K2.6 for general non-coding tasks. Also worth knowing: it's not multimodal, no vision, which is a real gap for coding these days. And thinking-off isn't supported, it's reasoning-on by default.The model is available on our CW Inference, with the fastest token streaming in the industry, over 280 tok/s (Announcement, try it), with very decent pricing $0.94 - $0.19 - $4.00 (input - cached - output) per million tokens.

Nearly half of all Americans believe AI is bad for humanity. Peter Diamandis is not one of them. On his podcast, Moonshots, and in his new book, We Are as Gods, co-written with the inimitable Steven Kotler, he makes the case that artificial intelligence is already ushering in a world of abundance — think radical life extension, 10 billion humanoid robots, and agents that do your job while you're sipping a latte. He knows it may not be all sunshine and hydroponic roses, but he believes our future is incredibly bright. And he's putting his money where his mouth is: XPRIZE, the nonprofit he founded more than 30 years ago to bankroll breakthroughs, just announced it's giving $3.5 million to filmmakers who conjure convincingly optimistic visions of the future. Rufus and Caleb don't have their film treatment ready yet, but they do have plenty of questions for Peter and Steven about flying cars, the future of work, worst-case scenarios, and the new commandments for working with AI.

Liz Peek discusses SpaceX's $1.78 trillion IPO, questioning whether valuations for AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are sustainable. She notes that Starlink's profitability supports Elon Musk's moonshots. Despite inflation concerns, strong domestic private investment is currently driving U.S. economic prosperity while Europe struggles with over-regulation and high energy costs. (1)1954

In this episode of The Higher Standard, Chris and Saied dive headfirst into the wildest S-1 filing Wall Street may have ever seen: SpaceX, Starlink, XAI, Mars colonies, asteroid mining, lunar economies, data centers in space, and Elon Musk casually trying to justify a $28.5 trillion total addressable market like he's ordering lunch. The guys break down whether this is a visionary master plan to make humanity multi-planetary or a beautifully packaged liquidity event with rockets, buzzwords, and enough “AI” mentions to make Nvidia blush. From the insane valuation math to the XAI gamble, the class structure, the retail investor risk, and the very real question of whether investors are buying a business or a sci-fi trilogy, this episode is classic THS: smart finance, sharp skepticism, and just enough chaos to make the moon feel underwritten.

The MPV team is currently hard at work on Beyond Polarization, a limited series where we talk to people who are finding solutions to the increasing polarization we face in the United States. In the meantime, we bring you this episode from our friends at Disrupting Peace, a podcast from the World Peace Foundation about "why peace hasn't worked, and how it still could."  What beliefs make people willing to commit violence, and what could change their minds? This episode explores what makes individuals vulnerable to white supremacist beliefs, what it means when extremism becomes mainstream, the surprising permeability of these groups, and how to talk to people in your life who express racist ideology. Peter Simi is a professor of Sociology at Chapman University, and an expert on extremist groups and violence in the US. Among his many publications, he is co-author of American Swastika: Inside the White Power Movement's Hidden Spaces of Hate, and Out of Hiding: Extremist White Supremacy and How It Can be Stopped. Sara Winegar Budge holds a doctorate in Psychology and is a licensed psychologist in Oregon. She is the Director of US Programs at Moonshot, which builds technology to identify and disrupt organized crime, child sexual exploitation, and trafficking, among other forms of abuse and violence. Her clinical work focuses on individuals who are or have been involved in violent extremism.  Disrupting Peace is produced by Bridget Conley and Emily Shaw.

In this episode of Moonshots, Mike and Mark dive into the groundbreaking ideas of Dr. Kelly Starrett, author of Becoming a Supple Leopard. Through insights shared with Dr. Andrew Huberman, they explore why movement quality matters, how poor posture quietly impacts health and performance, and what we can do to reclaim our natural mobility.From understanding common movement dysfunctions to embracing play and exploration as part of physical development, this episode offers practical tools for anyone looking to feel stronger, move better, and stay capable for years to come.At a time when many of us spend more hours sitting than moving, Starrett's message is especially relevant: the body adapts to what we repeatedly do. By making small but intentional changes, we can build resilience, improve performance, and enhance our overall quality of life.Whether you're an athlete, professional, parent, or simply someone who wants to move through life with greater ease, this episode provides actionable insights you can start applying today.Key ThemesMovement as a foundational human skillIdentifying and correcting common movement problemsThe relationship between posture and performanceBuilding long-term physical resilienceMobility as a daily practiceAdapting the body through consistent movement habitsThe importance of play and movement varietyConcepts & BreakthroughsMovement Quality Drives LongevityStarrett emphasizes that movement is not merely exercise; it is a fundamental expression of human capability. Poor movement patterns often accumulate gradually, leading to discomfort, inefficiency, and reduced performance. By improving movement quality, individuals can enhance both everyday function and long-term health.Posture Is a Performance ToolGood posture is often misunderstood as simply standing up straight. Starrett reframes posture as the body's ability to organize itself efficiently under load. Better posture supports breathing, stability, mobility, and strength, allowing us to perform tasks with less strain and greater effectiveness.The Body Adapts to RepetitionOne of the most important ideas in the episode is that our bodies constantly adapt to the positions and movements we practice most often. Long hours spent sitting or maintaining limited movement patterns can create restrictions over time. The solution is not occasional exercise alone but regular exposure to healthy movement throughout the day.Play Expands Human CapacityThe discussion closes with a reminder that movement should not always be structured or performance-focused. Play introduces new shapes, challenges, and experiences that help maintain mobility, coordination, and adaptability. Exploration keeps the body learning and developing across all stages of life.Habits, Tools & Mental ModelsDaily Movement AuditRegularly assess how much time you spend sitting, standing, walking, and moving. Awareness is the first step toward meaningful improvement.Position VarietyAvoid remaining in any single position for extended periods. Introduce different postures and movement patterns throughout the day to encourage adaptability.Posture CheckpointsCreate simple reminders to evaluate posture while working, walking, or exercising. Focus on alignment that supports breathing, stability, and efficient movement.Mobility as MaintenanceTreat mobility work as routine maintenance rather than rehabilitation. Consistent practice helps preserve range of motion and movement quality before problems arise.Play-Based MovementIncorporate activities that encourage exploration, balance, coordination, and enjoyment.

Breathing is automatic — but optimal breathing is learned.In Episode 288 of Moonshots, Mike and Mark dive into the remarkable science and practical wisdom behind James Nestor's bestselling book *Breath*. Together, they explore how conscious breathing can improve health, productivity, sleep, performance, and emotional balance in a world that constantly pushes us into stress and overstimulation.Featuring insights from James Nestor and practical reflections from Productivity Game, this episode reveals why better breathing may be one of the most overlooked keys to living well. Listeners will discover simple techniques, surprising research, and actionable habits that can create immediate and lasting benefits.Whether you want greater calm, sharper focus, or more energy throughout the day, this episode offers a compelling reminder that transformation often starts with the smallest actions — including every breath you take.**Primary Link:**[https://www.moonshots.io](https://www.moonshots.io)**Related Reading:**[https://geni.us/w5zo](https://geni.us/w5zo)**YouTube:**[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGqs7VdIufLYNWnzZYuVaTA/](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGqs7VdIufLYNWnzZYuVaTA/)---# Key Themes* The hidden power of conscious breathing* How modern lifestyles negatively affect breathing patterns* Expanding breathing capacity for improved health and performance* The relationship between breathing, stress, and productivity* Nasal breathing versus mouth breathing* Breath awareness as a daily practice* Small physiological changes creating large life impacts---# Concepts & Breakthroughs## Breathing as a Performance ToolJames Nestor reframes breathing from a passive biological process into an active tool for enhancing physical and mental performance. The episode explores how better breathing habits can increase endurance, improve sleep quality, support emotional regulation, and sharpen concentration.## “Could I Breathe Less?”One of the standout ideas comes from Productivity Game's reflection on breathing efficiency. Rather than taking bigger breaths, listeners are encouraged to consider whether calmer, slower, and more efficient breathing could improve energy and reduce anxiety. This shift in perspective highlights how overbreathing can actually stress the body.## Capacity Creates ResilienceThe discussion around improving breathing capacity reveals a broader insight about resilience. Expanding lung function and breath control trains the body to tolerate stress more effectively, helping listeners remain calmer under pressure and recover more quickly from challenges.## Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern ScienceThe episode bridges scientific research with long-standing breathing traditions practiced for centuries in meditation, yoga, and martial arts. Mike and Mark show how modern evidence increasingly validates practices once dismissed as purely spiritual or alternative.---# Habits, Tools & Mental Models## Breathe Through Your NoseNasal breathing filters, humidifies, and optimizes airflow more effectively than mouth breathing. Building awareness around this habit can improve sleep, endurance, and relaxation.## Slow Down Your BreathingReducing breathing rate can calm the nervous system and improve focus. Intentional slower breathing supports emotional regulation and decreases physiological stress.## Daily Breath Check-InAsk yourself throughout the day:**“Could I breathe less?”**This simple prompt encourages mindfulness and helps reduce unconscious overbreathing during stressful moments.## Build Breath CapacityPractices such as breath holds, controlled breathing exercises, and aerobic conditioning can help improve respiratory efficiency and overall resilience.## Use Breath as a Reset MechanismBreathing can become an immediate tool for resetting attention, calming anxiety, and returning to the present moment during demanding situations.

Dans la course mondiale à l'intelligence artificielle, un acteur chinois s'impose de plus en plus clairement : Moonshot AI. Son nouveau modèle, K2.6, marque une progression rapide et vient bousculer les références du secteur. Trois mois seulement après la version précédente, K2.6 affiche des performances en hausse sur plusieurs tests clés. Sur SWE-Bench Pro, un benchmark qui mesure la capacité d'un modèle à corriger de vrais problèmes sur des projets GitHub, il atteint 58,6 points. Il dépasse ainsi GPT-5.4 et Claude Opus 4.6. Même tendance sur DeepSearchQA et Terminal-Bench, deux tests qui évaluent respectivement la recherche d'information complexe et l'exécution de tâches techniques.Pour comprendre cette avancée, il faut regarder sous le capot. K2.6 repose sur une architecture dite “Mixture-of-Experts”. Concrètement, cela signifie que le modèle mobilise seulement une partie de ses capacités à chaque requête, ce qui réduit les coûts de calcul. Sur le papier, il compte 1 000 milliards de paramètres, mais n'en active qu'une fraction à chaque instant. Autre élément clé : la “fenêtre de contexte”. C'est la quantité d'informations que le modèle peut traiter en une seule fois. Ici, elle atteint 256 000 tokens, soit l'équivalent de centaines de pages de texte. De quoi améliorer la compréhension de tâches longues ou complexes.Côté performance, Moonshot mise aussi sur la quantification INT4, une technique qui compresse les données numériques pour accélérer les calculs. Résultat : une inférence environ deux fois plus rapide, avec une perte de précision limitée. Mais tout n'est pas encore validé. La majorité des résultats provient des tests internes du laboratoire, et aucune reproduction indépendante complète n'a été publiée à ce stade. De plus, si les poids du modèle sont accessibles, les données d'entraînement et les méthodes utilisées restent confidentielles, ce qui limite la transparence.Enfin, l'accès à ce type de modèle reste coûteux. Même en version optimisée, il nécessite plusieurs cartes graphiques haut de gamme et une infrastructure pouvant atteindre plusieurs milliers de dollars par mois. En résumé, K2.6 illustre une tendance forte : les modèles ouverts chinois se rapprochent désormais des meilleurs systèmes propriétaires. Mais la bataille de la transparence et de la reproductibilité, elle, est loin d'être tranchée. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

A 45-year tech veteran who watched mainframes become iPhones shares what founders have forgotten about leadership and scaling.Jody Jankovsky has built and run Blackline IT for 30+ years. He breaks down why clarity is the most underrated leadership skill, what "irresponsible delegation" costs you, and how the Moonshot framework can transform a founder-dependent company into a self-scaling organization.Key takeaways:00:00:00 Introduction00:04:07Q: What does a founder's childhood reveal about their future business?A: Jody Jankovsky's dad started a software company during a recession. It became the greatest opportunity of his life—giving a 12-year-old access to the dawn of computing.00:27:13Q: What does good leadership actually look like?A: It's not command-and-control. It's finding the pathway for each person to fit into your vision.00:31:55Q: What's the biggest leadership shift a founder can make?A: Clarity is the leader's job. If the team is confused, that's the leader's failure, not theirs.00:56:25Q: Why does delegation without domain knowledge fail?A: "Irresponsible delegation"—outsourcing before you understand the domain enough to evaluate the work.01:12:40Q: Why do founders buy tools they don't need?A: They let tool vendors tell them what to buy instead of starting with the outcome they need.01:14:52Q: Is AI replacing jobs or tasks?A: Technology has always automated tasks, not jobs. The human becomes the creative judgment engine.Subscribe to Founder Talk so you don't miss what's next.The Founders BriefA weekly email where we break down the best Founder Talk conversations into tactics you can use immediately to grow your business and improve your life.

A Note from James:People are so afraid of AI, and I get it. They're afraid of how it will affect jobs. They're afraid of bias, manipulation, or even worst-case scenarios like AI turning on humans.That's why I love talking to Peter Diamandis.He wrote Abundance, came on the podcast 10 years ago, and now he's back with his new book, We Are as Gods. He also runs the Moonshots podcast and the Meta Trends newsletter, both worth paying attention to.Peter has this ability to stay optimistic about the future—whether it's AI, longevity, robotics, or virtual worlds. Everything is moving at light speed right now, and while I'm generally optimistic, I still sometimes wonder: what if the pessimists are right this time?But Peter always pulls me back. His view of the future is bold, optimistic, and surprisingly concrete. And honestly, it's exciting.Episode Description:In this conversation, James reconnects with Peter Diamandis to explore what may be the defining shift of our time: the transition into an AI-driven world of extreme abundance—and extreme uncertainty.Diamandis argues that we're not heading toward a traditional crisis, but an “emotional pandemic of fear.” As AI accelerates faster than any previous technology, people are struggling to process its implications: job disruption, societal upheaval, and a complete rethinking of how value is created.But his perspective is fundamentally different. Instead of scarcity, he sees exponential growth—potentially even “triple-digit GDP expansion.” Instead of job loss alone, he sees a massive shift toward entrepreneurship and creation. And instead of humans being replaced, he sees humans amplified.The episode moves between near-term reality and long-term speculation: AI partners that run your daily life, personalized health systems, humanoid robotics, brain-computer interfaces, and even the possibility of digital consciousness.What makes this conversation compelling is not just the optimism—it's the framing.

We're all familiar with the tropes around innovation and how it starts. You just need a garage in Silicon Valley, a few geniuses and visionaries, maybe some good snacks. Our guests today help us debunk that myth. Rich Braden and Tessa Forshaw wrote a book called Innovation-ish, and that little “-ish” is doing a lot of work. Rich Braden is a design strategist who's taught innovation at Stanford and advised companies around the world. Tessa Forshaw is a cognitive scientist whose lab studies the psychology of creativity — why we lose it, and how we get it back. In this conversation, we talk about why most innovation doesn't have to be a moonshot — and why chasing moonshots might actually be holding your team back. We dig into the neuroscience of what Tessa calls “innovation hesitation,” the tiny amygdala response that makes us reach for certainty instead of possibility. Bios Tessa Forshaw As a co-founder of the Next Level Lab at Harvard University, Tessa specializes in using cognitive science to develop creative and innovative potential in the workforce. She draws upon her academic research as a cognitive scientist and extensive background as a former designer at IDEO CoLAb and Accenture to turn the cognitive processes involved in design, creativity and innovation into practical insights that can be applied in the flow of work. These insights are also the foundations of what she teaches as a design educator at Stanford University and now Harvard University. Recognized for her impactful design projects, Tessa is the recipient of multiple design awards: a Fast Company Design Award for General Excellence, two Core77 Industrial Design Magazine Design Awards, and the Australian American Chamber of Commerce Innovation Awards. Rich Braden Rich Braden is the founder of People Rocket LLC, a strategic innovation firm based in San Francisco. With over 15 years of academic experience, Rich is a recognized thought leader in design thinking, leadership, and innovation. He is a design educator at renowned institutions including Harvard University, Stanford University, and London Business School, helping shape future leaders. As CEO of People Rocket, he works with clients such as Airbnb, Google, the United Nations, Microsoft, Coca-Cola, Starbucks, and Red Cross to drive strategic innovation and responsible AI solutions. Rich holds degrees in Computer and Electrical Engineering from Purdue University and resides in the San Francisco Bay Area. *** Premium Episodes on Design Better This ad-supported episode is available to everyone.

“This was not easy, being 200,000+ miles away from home. Like before you launch, it feels like it's the greatest dream on earth. And when you're out there, you just wanna get back to your families and your friends.” – Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman Last week, the crew of Artemis II made it safely home. Throughout the journey, we heard the astronauts talk about moonjoy, awe, wonder, and—without exception—gratitude for their families.  To learn more about what it's like to be part of an astronaut family, Host Flora Lichtman chats with Tracy Scott, whose dad was a commander during the Apollo missions. Now, as a sociologist who studies the Moonshot era, Scott gives us a glimpse into astronaut life and the social context of the Apollo and Artemis missions. Guest:  Dr. Tracy Scott is a sociologist at Emory University studying the lives and families of Apollo era astronauts. She's based in Atlanta, Georgia. Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com. Subscribe to this podcast. Plus, to stay updated on all things science, sign up for Science Friday's newsletters.

Now that Artemis II is back on Earth, we'll take a look at how educators are inspiring the next generation of space enthusiasts. Plus, we'll speak with Veteran NASA astronaut Winston Scott about the mission and take a look at what's ahead for Artemis III.

Could aiming for the impossible be the key to your entrepreneurial success?   The speed of today's world pushes entrepreneurs to innovate, but many shy away from bold, game-changing ideas.  Rather than focusing on small and incremental gains, imagine how powerful it would be if we focused on transformative, world-changing ideas. Moonshot thinking goes beyond dreaming big-it's about redefining what's possible and attracting the people, resources, and momentum to make ambitious visions a reality. Naveen Jain, the visionary founder and CEO of Viome Life Sciences, has built his career on this principle. Reflecting on his journey from being a tech outsider to a leading innovator, he champions the pursuit of audacious goals to tackle the world's biggest challenges. For Naveen, technology is simply a tool, but solving meaningful problems is what truly defines entrepreneurial success. In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius sits down with Naveen Jain to explore how entrepreneurs can achieve success by focusing on their mission rather than limiting themselves to incremental gains. Naveen also shares his insights on how working toward world-changing goals naturally attracts the brightest minds and resources. Topics include: Building companies that prioritize helping others over profit Naveen discusses a three-part framework for entrepreneurs Emphasizing problem-solving to drive innovation and sustainable solutions Viome's groundbreaking approach to personalized health Leveraging government-funded technologies for business growth And other topics… Connect with Naveen: Website: https://naveenjain.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/naveenjainintelius Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/naveenjainceo/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Naveen_Jain_CEO  Connect with Darius: Website: https://therealdarius.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariusmirshahzadeh/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imthedarius/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Thegreatnessmachine  Book: The Core Value Equation https://www.amazon.com/Core-Value-Equation-Framework-Limitless/dp/1544506708 Write a review for The Greatness Machine using this link: https://ratethispodcast.com/spreadinggreatness.  Learn more about your ad choices.
