  • Daniel Susskind: Why More Growth Won’t Make You Happier

    Daniel Susskind: Why More Growth Won’t Make You Happier
    Sep 20 2026
    Mike and Mark discuss Daniel Susskind’s Growth and challenge one of the biggest assumptions in modern life: that more is automatically better. More money, a bigger house, a faster-growing business, a better job — we’re constantly encouraged to keep moving forward. But Susskind asks a more important question: what kind of growth do we actually want?In this episode, Mike and Mark explore why growth always comes with trade-offs and unintended consequences. They look at how chasing more can create extra stress, complexity and pressure, and why the goal shouldn’t simply be economic prosperity, but prosperity with purpose. Growth isn’t just about getting bigger or richer. It’s about being intentional about the direction you’re heading and understanding what you may be giving up along the way.They bring these ideas into everyday life, from buying a bigger house or upgrading the car to taking on another client or chasing the next promotion. Sometimes these choices look like progress on the surface, but they can also mean more debt, less freedom, longer hours or less time with the people who matter. The challenge is to distinguish between more growth and better growth.Mike and Mark also explore what Susskind’s ideas mean for careers in an age of AI and rapid technological change. The future is becoming less predictable, which means preparing for one fixed career or discovering one perfect “calling” may no longer make sense. Instead, the opportunity is to remain adaptable, keep learning and be open to multiple possible futures.This episode is a powerful reminder that growth isn’t simply something that happens to us. We have choices about its direction, its speed and its purpose. If you’re questioning what success should look like in your career, business, finances or life, Daniel Susskind’s Growth offers a new way to think about what you’re really growing toward.Become a Moonshots member:http://patreon.com/c/MoonshotsBuy Daniel Susskind’s Growth on Amazon:https://geni.us/drnIb

    Sep 13 2026

Many people are living paycheck to paycheck. Relationships are strained by financial pressure. And everywhere we look, we are encouraged to spend more, upgrade more, and chase the next bigger, faster, shinier thing.But Morgan Housel invites us to ask a better question:What is money actually for?In this episode, Mike and Mark explore the psychology of spending, the trap of lifestyle inflation, and the quiet power of knowing what is enough. They unpack why so many people become captive to their spending, why status purchases rarely create lasting happiness, and why financial freedom often comes from spending less than you earn.The conversation begins with the story of the Vanderbilts and the danger of building a life that owns you. Mike and Mark then explore practical ways to spend more wisely, including delaying purchases, avoiding spontaneous dopamine spending, buying second-hand, choosing experiences over status, and experimenting with what actually brings you joy.They also reflect on the bigger idea behind Morgan Housel’s work: money should create peace, freedom, control, and contentment — not stress, debt, and comparison.In this episode, you’ll learn:• Why spending can quietly become a trap• How lifestyle inflation steals your freedom• Why bigger houses, faster cars, and fancier brands may not make you happier• How to experiment with what you genuinely enjoy spending money on• Why “I have enough” might be the most powerful money mantra• How experiences can create more lasting satisfaction than things• Why financial freedom starts with living within your means• How to spend money in a way that supports your best lifeThis is a Moonshots episode for anyone who wants to rethink money, reduce financial stress, and make wiser choices with their time, energy, and resources.Because the goal is not just to earn more.The goal is to spend better.Listen now and discover how to get out of the money trap, spend with intention, and find contentment in having enough.Buy the book: The Art of Spending Money by Morgan HouselJoin the Moonshots community: https://www.patreon.com/MoonshotsVisit Moonshots: https://www.moonshots.io/

  • How to Become Great at Anything — Anders Ericsson’s Peak

    How to Become Great at Anything — Anders Ericsson’s Peak
    Sep 7 2026
    In Episode 295 of the Moonshots Podcast, Mike and Mark dive into Peak by Anders Ericsson, one of the most important books on mastery, expertise, and human performance.What does it really take to become great at something?The answer is not overnight success. It is not raw talent. And it is not simply repeating the same thing for 10,000 hours.Ericsson’s research shows that extraordinary performance is built through deliberate practice, purposeful learning, feedback loops, and a commitment to getting better — especially when the work becomes uncomfortable.In this episode, Mike and Mark explore how expertise is available to all of us when we are willing to train with intention, seek feedback, and push beyond our usual limits. They connect Ericsson’s ideas to classic Moonshots themes including Carol Dweck’s growth mindset, Cal Newport’s deep work, James Clear’s habit building, David Goggins’ discomfort mindset, and even the modern opportunity of learning faster with AI tools.Along the way, they unpack the difference between naive practice, purposeful practice, and deliberate practice — and why true mastery requires more than just showing up. It requires discomfort, accountability, coaching, goals, and a clear mental map of where you are trying to go.Mike also shares his own reflections on marathon training, coding, and the deep satisfaction that comes from setting an audacious goal, doing the work, and crossing the finish line.In this episode, you’ll learn:• Why there is no such thing as an overnight expert• How deliberate practice helps you break through your current ceiling• Why feedback and coaching are essential for mastery• How discomfort becomes the pathway to growth• Why mental representations help you map the road to expertise• How AI can accelerate learning when combined with discipline and practice• Why setting clear goals, dates, and milestones makes performance easier to sustainThis is a classic Moonshots episode for anyone who wants to get better — at work, creativity, sport, learning, leadership, or life.Because peak performance is not reserved for the naturally gifted.It is built.One focused practice at a time.Listen now and start building your path to mastery.Buy the book: Peak by Anders EricssonJoin the Moonshots community: https://www.patreon.com/MoonshotsVisit Moonshots: https://www.moonshots.io/
