    Episode 10: Cutting the Tie: When Relationships Devalue Your Brand

    In episode 10, Mark teaches Kristen the very tough concept of “spring cleaning” our relationships and the theoretical pruning of relationships that aren’t supporting you becoming your best self and achieving your goals. He discusses WHO to cut out, HOW to do it, and defines the difference between “toxic” relationships and relationships that aren’t necessarily “negative,” but still keep you from moving forward to your dream. We also talk about people-pleasing and how following your MoonShooting journey is not always for the faint of heart. Lastly, Kristen makes an interesting connection to pruning her basil plant. If you want to level-up in life and are ready for some tough love, then this episode is for you! Do you believe in our mission and want to help? Leave us a review (just one sentence or rating helps!)

    Episode 9: Brand Ownership & Viewing Yourself as a Stock

    How many hours a week do you spend working on your own brand vs. working on someone else’s? In episode 9, we talk about ownership and how maintaining ownership over yourself and your brand can be the difference between a powerful or a powerless life. Mark shows us how to view ourselves as a stock and how just the simplest things can increase or decrease our value. Mark reveals whether he thinks Kristen is at a “premium” or a “discount” according to her own personal “stock value.” And lastly, Mark compares the valuations of Tesla and Ford, showing how the power of perception can affect everything.

    Episode 8: Systems of Value & Harnessing Your Weaknesses as Superpowers

    In episode 8, Mark and Kristen discuss systems of value and how traditional systems, like the toxic patriarchy, have given us a biased view of our own worth. Mark shows us how to create our OWN valuation system, based on your tangible and intangible assets. Kristen shares how something as simple as changing how you introduce yourself can make a huge difference in how you value and see yourself. Finally, Mark touches on how our weaknesses are really our superpowers and how ultimately, no one can do you better than YOU! Do you believe in our mission and want to help?

    Episode 7: Why Toxic Productivity Hurts You & How To Maximize Your VALUE

    In this episode, we DEEP dive on toxic productivity and flip the script on that well-known phrase "work smarter, not harder" into "work less, and add more VALUE." Mark shows us how to tackle what you want differently, highlighting the value only YOU can bring to the table. Kristen shares a story of how toxic productivity and chasing perfectionism has impacted her health in more than one occasion over her life. Then, we zoom out to YOU and how you can make these value changes in your life every day! Do you believe in our mission and want to help? Leave us a review (just one sentence or rating helps!)

    Episode 6: The Brand of YOU and Harnessing Your Power

    Does the idea of "power" make you cringe? In this first episode of our 5 episode series on power, Mark shows us how to change our mindset on "power", how to gain more autonomy over your life, and how to begin viewing yourself as a BRAND, rather than as a job title or a service. We share examples of how powerful icons have made their brands into platforms, and how you can do that exact same thing on a smaller level. Finally, we laugh about how a Crème brûlée moment changed Kristen's thoughts on power and how we give our power away without even knowing it! Do you believe in our mission and want to help?

    Episode 4: How to know you’re STUCK: Burn out, autopilot, and creating your OWN path.

    In Episode 4, we dive into how to know you’re STUCK. We discuss the obvious and most intense signs such as burn out, but also the sneakier signs that make us rationalize our unhappiness and send us down that slippery auto-pilot slope. Join Mark and Kristen as they discuss all of this and more, including how to realize you’re following someone else’s MoonShot instead of yours and how to begin thinking about creating your own, NEW pathway to your MoonShot dream - no matter where you are in life!

    Episode 3: LEAPS of Faith and How to Know You’re Working AGAINST the Grain

    This week, we break down the falsely held belief that work should always equal sacrifice, how to know you're “working against the grain” in your life and why just “being good” at something shouldn’t be the only reason to stay in a job that doesn’t fulfill you. Kristen takes us on her own journey of deviating from her creative path and how believing the false notion that following your passion is “selfish” ultimately led her to a career that didn’t fulfill her. She shares her moment of clarity that allowed her to finally listen to what her gut had been telling her all along - to face that FEAR and finally take that scary leap of faith in her life.
