INTRO: SEEING OBSTACLES AS OPPORTUNITIES

The episode begins with an introduction to the book by Ryan Holiday himself, setting the stage with the powerful idea that “The obstacle is the way.” In this foundational segment, Holiday emphasizes that obstacles are not barriers but pathways to success, encouraging us to rethink our approach to challenges. (1m45s)


THE DISCIPLINE OF PERCEPTION

Mike and Mark delve into the discipline of perception, discussing how our views can either hinder or help us. They highlight the example of Eisenhower during D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge, illustrating how a shift in perception led to strategic and victorious outcomes. This segment underscores the importance of seeing obstacles through a lens of opportunity. (1m52s)


The conversation then transitions to Steve Jobs, whose career epitomized the concept of learning from obstacles. Jobs’ ability to turn setbacks into opportunities for innovation is a powerful example of how changing our perspective can drive success. (2m34s)


THE DISCIPLINE OF ACTION

Next, the hosts explore the discipline of action, focusing on taking initiative without waiting for perfect conditions. The story of Ulysses S. Grant, who played a pivotal role in ending the Civil War through decisive actions, exemplifies this principle. This segment highlights the need for persistence, adaptability, and proactive steps in overcoming challenges. (2m28s)


THE DISCIPLINE OF WILL

In the face of adversity, developing a resilient will is crucial. This segment features the story of Thomas Edison, who found inspiration even when his lab was destroyed by fire. Edison’s ability to embrace and learn from the situation demonstrates the power of inner strength and resilience. (1m20s)


OUTRO

The episode concludes with Ryan Holiday’s closing words, encouraging listeners to integrate the disciplines of perception, action, and will into their lives. Doing so allows us to navigate challenges more effectively and turn obstacles into opportunities for growth and triumph. (1m14s)


Tune in to this episode of the Moonshots Podcast to uncover how “The Obstacle is the Way” can inspire you to see challenges differently and leverage them for personal and professional development.

Drawing upon a six-year research project at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business, James C. Collins and Jerry I. Porras took eighteen truly exceptional and long-lasting companies and studied each in direct comparison to one of its top competitors.

Cal Newport - So Good They Can't Ignore You

In this episode we dive into Cal Newport’s book So Good They Can’t Ignore You discussing his long-held belief that "follow your passion" is not good advice. Not only is the cliche flawed-preexisting passions are rare and have little to do with how most people end up loving their work-but it can also be dangerous, leading to anxiety and chronic job hopping. After making his case against passion, Newport sets out on a quest to discover the reality of how people end up loving what they do.
