    I stumbled upon Moonshots by accident while searching the 7habits of highly effective people- a class I took in my early adult life. I have since been a listener and really appreciate learning out loud and the content you all share. You condense and dissect the book in a way that people that may not have the time or resources to read themselves, or want to take the book a step further. It’s just a super awesome show and I wanted to express that and encourage you guys. Great work! From, Michelle ... more

  • Inspiring and motivating podcast

    Mike & Mark you’re brilliant at dissecting great names in history and the present. One of the first one I listened to was Zaha Hadid and I was truly amazed. I’m an artist and lighting design and I know Zaha’s work since my uni days but the way you look into their lives and often backed up by their speeches make these podcasts really special! Keep going guys!

    Thanks from UK

  • Great synopsis of some excellent books

    I have listened to several of these Moonshots podcasts recently and I have found them to be really great summaries of some excellent books.

There are clips of Stephen Covey himself speaking which are so enriching. I think it is great to have clips of the authors of the books they are reviewing as it adds weight to the podcast... more
