Most people spend their lives chasing small problems and getting small rewards. That's like a lion hunting mice — the effort isn't worth the payoff. In this episode, I'm talking about moonshot thinking and why you need it. Moonshot thinking is about aiming at bigger targets, giving yourself the chance to win big, even if it's harder. This is about possibility, stretching yourself, and asking the kind of questions that can change your whole situation. Show Notes: [05:08]#1 Moonshot is about what is one thing you could do or start working on that would change the entire trajectory of your situation. [10:44]#2 Why do you need this? [13:14]#3 Why do most people never do this? [18:33]Recap Next Steps ---
"If an asteroid were on a collision course with the moon… should we nuke it, plant trees on it, or just send Bruce Willis?"In this wildly entertaining episode of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray tackle the news story of a 4% chance that an asteroid could slam into the moon in 2032. What starts as a serious scientific update quickly spirals into a chaotic brainstorm of humanity's most ridiculous (and oddly cinematic) defense strategies.

Regie takes a long, hard look at human spaceflight and the mission to the Moon.
This is a preview of a premium episode. To hear the full episode, head to our Substack: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/astro-teller-and-ivo-stivoric-why When a company talks about taking a “moonshot,” it often ends up being something trivial: a new emoji keyboard, or delivering a pizza in less than 30 minutes. But at X, the Moonshot Factory, which is part of Google, they're tackling some of the world's thorniest problems: sustainably feeding the world's population, climate change, education, and much more. Today we're speaking with Astro Teller, Captain of Moonshots, and Ivo Stivoric, Vice President at X. Astro has a PhD in artificial intelligence from Carnegie Mellon and wrote a prophetic 1997 novel about AI called Exegesis. He's the grandson of Edward Teller of Manhattan Project fame, but his own legacy is built on creating protected spaces where multidisciplinary teams can tackle humanity's biggest challenges—from self-driving cars to internet access delivered by balloons. Ivo leads a portfolio focused on climate, sustainability, and social justice. A designer by training who cut his teeth in the early days of wearable computing at Carnegie Mellon's Engineering Design Research Center, Ivo brings a unique perspective on bridging human needs with breakthrough technology. Together with Astro, he co-founded BodyMedia, one of the pioneering companies in wearable health monitors, which was later acquired by Jawbone. We chat with Astro and Ivo about how they've maintained one of tech's longest creative partnerships, why moonshots require unlearning everything you know about building products, and how they're using their "moonshot factory" push the boundaries of what's possible when you combine emerging technology with empathy for human needs.

Elon Musk has often mentioned the potential of mRNA as the "future of medicine" and how he has often thought about the potential of a genetics company harnessing this technology to cure diseases. So in this episode of Moonshot Monday I have a conversation with Ryan Tanaka of Neurapod about what Elon's genetic startup would actually look like. Why he'd launch one (colonize mars, cure diseases), how it would happen, and what its potential would be. This is super speculative, and I'm curious what your thoughts are... do you think Elon Musk will start a genetics/mRNA company????Huge shoutout to Ryan Tanaka for coming on the show follow him on X here: https://x.com/RyanTanaka3OR here's his podcast Neurapod: / neurapod 0:00 Intro: Dire Wolfs & Wooly Mammoths1:27 Why It's Inevitable for Elon Musk to launch a genetics company3:41 ‘Nuke Mars': Humans may need gene editing to thrive on Mars7:23 IVF & New methods of human reproduction8:38 What will Elon's new genetics startup look like?11:01 Tesla's mRNA microfactories during COVID15:52 Neuralink + changing DNA has insane potential to change our biology19:56 How Elon will launch the xGen companyMy X: / gfilche HyperChange Patreon :) / hyperchange

A Note from JamesWhat does it take to make a discovery that changes the world? Think about landing on the moon — a true moonshot. Along the way, countless technologies were invented that reshaped life back on Earth.My guest today, Astro Teller, has been part of that same kind of world-changing work. At X — Alphabet's Moonshot Factory — he's led projects that gave us self-driving cars, Google Brain, drone delivery, augmented reality with Google Glass, and much more. We even talk about quantum computing, drones that bring your groceries to your backyard, and the mindset it takes to believe in something that once sounded like science fiction.Astro and I first crossed paths when I visited Google X back in 2012 or 2013. He was on this podcast in 2015, and now, ten years later, he's back to talk about his own show — The Moonshot Podcast — and the latest bold projects that could shape our future.Episode DescriptionAstro Teller, Captain of Moonshots at Alphabet's X, joins James to share how impossible-sounding ideas become real. From Waymo's self-driving cars to Wing's drones, from the birth of Google Brain to breakthroughs in quantum networking and modernizing electric grids, Astro explains the engineering mindset that drives innovation.This episode goes beyond technology — it's about how to think like a moonshot maker. You'll hear how X chooses projects, why systems engineering often matters more than pure science, and how to break down massive problems into solvable steps.What You'll LearnThe three elements that define a true moonshot at X.Why self-driving cars succeeded not because of new science, but because of paradigm-shifting systems engineering.How Google Brain kickstarted the modern AI revolution by betting on scale when neural nets were out of fashion.Why Wing's drone delivery service may soon feel as ordinary as rideshare apps.How Project Tapestry is mapping and optimizing the electric grid to cut connection times from years to days.The promise (and risks) of quantum networking, quantum sensing, and the looming “Q-Day” when current cryptography could break.Why empathy is crucial for workers displaced by new technologies.Timestamped Chapters[01:00] A Note from James[04:00] Inside Alphabet's Moonshot Factory (X)[06:00] Defining moonshots: problem, radical solution, breakthrough tech[08:00] Waymo and the hidden challenges of self-driving cars[13:00] Safety, comfort, and the “body language” of cars[17:00] Google Brain and the rebirth of neural networks[20:00] Cats, YouTube, and AI's first big proof point[23:00] Wing: drones delivering groceries like magic[29:00] Moonshot mindset vs. the Apollo mission[31:00] How X evaluates and selects moonshots[34:00] Breakthroughs behind Waymo and simulation at scale[39:00] What if every car was autonomous?[40:00] Project Tapestry: modernizing the electric grid[45:00] Mapping PJM and national-scale grids[46:00] Lessons from Google Glass: too early, or misframed?[48:00] The future of AR glasses and AI assistants[51:00] Why X left longevity research to Calico and Verily[52:00] Quantum computing, networking, and sensing explained[57:00] The coming “Q-Day” and what it means for security[59:00] AI, jobs, and the importance of empathy[61:00] Closing thoughts and Astro's Moonshot PodcastAdditional ResourcesThe Moonshot Podcast with Astro Teller (YouTube)X, the Moonshot FactoryWaymo (Self-Driving Cars)Wing (Drone Delivery)Google BrainProject Tapestry – Grid ModernizationPJM Interconnection (Eastern US Grid)Calico (Alphabet's Longevity Research)Verily Life SciencesSandbox AQ (Quantum & AI)Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer ScienceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Tune is as Nick is joined by Johanna Wolfson, co-founder and General Partner of Azolla Ventures, a venture capital firm that invests in breakthroughs that have the potential to avert catastrophic climate change. Together, Nick and Johanna explore Azolla Ventures' unique approach to combining catalytic capital—philanthropic and risk-tolerant funding designed to prioritize impact over returns—with traditional venture capital to fill critical early-stage gaps left by traditional investors and accelerate innovation in and adoption of climate tech solutions. Johanna also explores how this approach enables her and her team to support “big swings” in climate solutions—including in under-discussed and under-supported areas of technological innovation—by bridging high-risk deployments from ideation and spin-out stages through commercialization, particularly for technologies often considered too risky.Further, they discuss: Urgency and opportunity in methane emissions mitigation: Nick and Johanna reflect on a common appreciation and excitement for opportunities to slow global warming by supporting methane mitigation technologies and approaches, which other investors across climate tech and energy often overlook. Further, Johanna offers a portfolio company example to ground this discussion in tangible terms.Long-termism and adaptability in climate investing: Nick and Johanna iterate on and advocate for a longer-term approach to climate investing, emphasizing planning horizons of 2050 and beyond to foster greater durability across policy shifts and macroeconomic trends. They also emphasize the need for adaptability in response to rapid technological and market changes. Other underserved technological and policy-focused opportunities: Johanna encourages entrepreneurs and funders to review and adjust their theories of change continually and to look globally for “where the action is”—including emerging opportunities in international regulations, such as new global carbon taxes for shipping, stratospheric aerosol injection, and the importance of government research funding in advancing early-stage solutions.Timestamps:00:01:28 – Introductions and Azolla Ventures' investment strategy00:05:39 - Portfolio companies: Sublime Systems and lower-carbon cement production00:10:15 - Role of catalytic capital in climate tech startups formation and scaling00:11:19 – Portfolio companies: Zanskar Geothermal & Minerals00:14:25 – The primacy of long-term climate tech investment perspectives00:16:58 - Current climate tech investment environment across geographies00:22:36 - Balancing short-term realities with long-term goals00:25:23 - Methane moonshots and a focus on Biolumic00:27:24 – Massive opportunities in methane and nitrous oxide mitigation00:29:02 - Stratospheric aerosol injection and other emerging climate interventions00:30:30 - Final thoughts and calls to actionLearn more about Johanna's work and Azolla Ventures by following both on LinkedIn and exploring Azolla Ventures' website and portfolio here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johannawolfson/ + https://www.linkedin.com/company/azolla-ventures/ + https://azollaventures.com/If you love listening to The Keep Cool Show, please leave mea 5-star review on Rate My Podcast: https://ratethispodcast.com/keepcoolPlus, you can stay up to date on all things Keep Cool here: https://keepcool.co/ and follow Nick on...
Unlocking Innovation: The Alzheimer's Insights AI Prize and Its Impact on Healthcare There are currently more than 55 million people worldwide living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Recent breakthroughs in new treatments and diagnostics provide hope, but there is potential to accelerate the pace of discovery and development. Last year, StartUp Health, in partnership with the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation's (ADDF) Diagnostics Accelerator (DxA) and Gates Ventures, the private office of Bill Gates, launched the Alzheimer's Moonshot. This initiative breaks down silos and fosters meaningful collaboration between mission-aligned founders, funders, and partners, accelerating progress in preventing, managing, and curing Alzheimer's and related dementias through the support of entrepreneurial innovation. Now, the Alzheimer's Disease Data Initiative (AD Data Initiative) is backing visionary AI solutions to accelerate Alzheimer's research with the launch of a new million-dollar prize competition. The goal is to leverage agentic AI – AI that can plan, reason, and act autonomously – to help drive breakthroughs in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias research. Gregory Moore, MD, PhD, senior advisor to Gates Ventures and the Alzheimer's Disease Data Initiative, sat down with us to share how you can join the competition to harness AI to radically accelerate Alzheimer's disease research. The Alzheimer's Insights AI Prize offers $1M to the winner for the agentic AI solution that can generate a powerful leap in the pace, scale, and reach of ADRD research. Drawing from his unique background in both engineering and medicine, Dr. Moore discusses how AI could dramatically accelerate drug discovery and clinical trials by up to 50%. The initiative aims to break down traditional research barriers by harmonizing diverse data sets, from genomics to neuroimaging, making breakthroughs more accessible to the global scientific community. The Alzheimer's Insights AI Prize competition semi-finalist teams will be selected to present at a pitch event alongside the Clinical Trials on Alzheimer's Disease (CTAD) Conference in San Diego this December, where innovators worldwide will present their ideas to a distinguished panel of judges from tech, academia, and venture capital. From there, up to three finalist teams will be invited to a final event at the AD/PD International Conference next March in Copenhagen, Denmark. With travel support available for participants, this initiative ensures global accessibility and collaboration.

Episode 486: Moonshot or Moon Mirage? Today, Jess, Amy, Bishop, and Algene examine NASA's ambitious plan to accelerate deployment of a nuclear reactor on the Moon as part of the Artemis program—aiming to power U.S. long-term lunar infrastructure and return astronauts by 2027. But NASA's announcement comes amid budget and workforce cuts, and with NASA's head leader lacking deep space experience.Can the U.S. pull this off on such a tight timeline, or is this a Cold War–style moonshot without the resources to match? How critical will public–private partnerships be for U.S. space success in the future? And with China racing ahead on its own space ambitions, are we already in new space race?Check out the sources that helped shape our Fellows' discussions: https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/05/politics/moon-nuclear-reactor-us-nasa https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/sean-duffy-nuclear-moon-nasa-space-reactors-rcna223194 https://warontherocks.com/2025/07/eastern-stars-rising-the-rise-of-chinas-commercial-space-industry/ Follow our experts on Twitter: @NotTVJessJones@amykmitchell@BishopGarrison@AlgeneSajeryLike what we're doing here?

PLANNING FOR AN IMMINENT NASA moonshot. Bob Zimmerman BehindTheBlack.com 1941
We started this episode with tears, and somehow ended up in outer space. (Welcome to Laugh Lines!) This week, I had a completely unplanned “Menty B” (short for mental breakdown) about our daughter leaving for college. There are feelings. So many feelings. And mascara malfunctions. Then (try not to get whiplash) we take an emotional U-turn to bring on former astronaut and NYT bestselling author, Mike Massimino, to talk about setting big, bold, seemingly impossible goals.Penn really dislikes goal setting, but he loves space. So he felt like an astronaut could help him be a better goal setter. Mike shares the truly wild story of how he overcame three rejections from NASA, trained his eyes to beat the vision test (seriously!), and why collaboration is the best way to achieve your dreams. We also hear from an awesome 13-year-old listener who might just bring back a forgotten podcast segment. So buckle up Laugh Lines listeners, this one's a real journey. We love to hear from you, leave us a message at 323-364-3929 or write the show at podcast@theholdernessfamily.com.

Moonshots and Mindsets with Peter Diamandis ✓ Claim Key Takeaways We will have artificial superintelligence by 2035: “Superintelligence” implies intelligence that is beyond the sum of what humans can do As important as nuclear fusion and fission may be for the future, they will not arrive soon enough to meet the immediate surge in global power demand driven by AI and data infrastructureLearning machines accelerate to their natural limit, and the current limit of AI systems is electricityGreater energy infrastructure is essential to support the intellectual capacity required for a superintelligent abundanceWe will have specialized savants in every field, within five years; the real question is, once we have all these savants, do they unify? Do they ultimately become superhuman? The emergence of superintelligence comes with huge proliferation issues: Competitive issues, China vs. the US issues, electricity issues; we do not even have the language for the deterrence and proliferation aspects of these powerful models The “Mutually Assured AI Malfunction” geopolitical competition framework: If one nation races ahead to develop superintelligent AI, rivals may sabotage their progress (through cyberattacks or strikes) to avoid destabilizing power imbalancesWhatever enables faster learning loops is the business moat of the future “The real risk is not Terminator, it's drift. AI won't destroy humans violently, but might slowly erode human values, autonomy, and judgment if left unregulated or misunderstood.” – Eric Schmidt The tools change, but the structure of humanity will not When superintelligence emerges, every person will have the sum of Einstein and Leonardo da Vinci in their pocket; how humans choose to use their polymath is the question “We don't know what artificial general intelligence will deliver, and we don't know what artificial super intelligence will deliver, but we know it's coming.” – Eric Schmidt Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgGet access to metatrends 10+ years before anyone else - https://qr.diamandis.com/metatrends Eric Schmidt is the former CEO of Google.

From balloon internet, drone delivery, and self-driving cars, Alphabet's X chief Astro Teller reveals how the company systematically chases the impossible!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1183What We Discuss with Astro Teller:Alphabet's X systematically approaches moonshots by requiring three elements: a huge problem, a radical proposed solution, and breakthrough technology that gives a chance — not guarantee — of success.Prototype cheaply and fast to test assumptions. The agricultural robot started as bicycle wheels, PVC tubing, laptop, GoPro and duct tape — not expensive equipment.Bring regulators into the process early as partners rather than waiting until the end. They become collaborators when included in the journey, not obstacles.Detach identity from ideas. People who tie self-worth to specific concepts struggle at X. Success comes from being great at filtering ideas, not being right about yours.Ask yourself: "How fast and cheaply can I get evidence I'm wrong?" Focus on rapid, inexpensive tests that provide real-world data about your assumptions.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Built to Blast: The Rise of Moonshot Mark Built to Blast: The Rise of Moonshot Mark kicks off this power-packed episode featuring 13-year-old phenom Mark “Moonshot” Thompson. With SLIDE Field Reporters Lilah and Jake as co-hosts, Mark shares how he combines raw power, speed, and maturity to lead ZT National and inspire young athletes everywhere. Big Swings from Jacksonville to Fenway Born in Jacksonville, Florida, Mark plays for ZT National and attends St. Joseph's Catholic School. He’s earned his nickname the hard way—by blasting 21 home runs in just the spring season. From being raised on the ballfield to starring in elite events like Select Fest and Pitch, Hit & Run at Fenway Park, Mark is a rare mix of talent and humility. “Home runs aren't made—they come,” he explains, offering wisdom well beyond his years. A Multi-Sport Athlete with a Singular Focus While he still competes in basketball, football, and cross country, baseball is where Mark's heart is. He trains relentlessly—hitting four buckets of balls a day and refining his approach to go middle and oppo. His favorite bat? The OG Cat 9 Composite. Most overrated? The Icon. Off the field, Mark is just as dedicated—he's in the Honor Society and even won first in his science fair category. Mindset, Motivation, and the Moonshot Mentality Mark's maturity is part of what sets him apart. After struggling with emotions early in his career, he embraced failure as fuel for growth. “Greatness comes from failure, but failure makes greatness,” he says. Whether it's launching a 75-yard TD pass, competing against the nation's top hitters, or staying calm in clutch moments, Mark shows leadership that's rare at any age. Speed, Humility, and Dreams of The Show From learning under Blake Snell at Zilla to running a 13-minute two-mile and averaging 8–10 stolen bases a tournament, Mark proves he's more than a slugger. He dreams of being drafted—but only if it's first or second round. His backup plan? A full ride to play D1 baseball. His favorite player is Trey Turner, and his walkout songs—“TNT” by ACDC and “Calabria 2008”—reflect his explosive presence. “No moment is bigger than what you love. You gotta love the moment to be able to love the game.” – Mark “Moonshot” Thompson Check out Big Baller, Bigger Dreams and Bright Future featuring Brian Johnson Jr. for more elite youth athlete interviews.

Endurance sports are in the midst of a revolution that will change everything about what we think humans can do. This week at the Quad Rock 50 Mile, we felt it firsthand.David set a 14-minute course record at this classic, steep Colorado race. We break it all down, "no secrets" style. Topics: high-carb fueling, big hydration totals, why heat training might be the next frontier, pre-race meals and supplements, ice bandanas, gut training, downhill running, uphill treadmill, and lots more.No matter what distance you go or speed you run/bike/hike, there's a path within these approaches that will make everything easier, healthier, and more fun. It's one thing to talk about it... it's another thing to FEEL IT. We try to bring you within those feelings, laying it all out there so that you can use the playbook.Thank you so much for being here for the whole journey. If you told us when we started this podcast 5 years ago that we'd be 7 weeks before the Western States 100 with this level of hope, we'd have said you're dreaming. Listeners have made it all possible. You have showed us that love is waiting on the other end of both success and failure. It's one thing to say that results don't matter and that love is waiting either way. It's another to FEEL IT. Thank you and we love you.7 weeks until the Western States 100 Mile moonshot.
