Jon Kabat-Zinn – Attitudes of Mindfulness (Part 1).

Jon Kabat-Zinn – Attitudes of Mindfulness (Part 1).

In this three-part series, the Moonshots Podcast takes a deep dive into the work of Jon Kabat-Zinn, the creator of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). This foundational framework—The 7 Attitudes of Mindfulness—offers practical, timeless guidance for living with greater awareness, clarity, and emotional intelligence.

Whether you're seeking more presence in your personal life, resilience in your work, or deeper insight into yourself, this series explores how to build those capacities through the simple, yet powerful principles of mindfulness.

Episode 280 – Part 1: Beginner’s Mind, Non-Judging, and Acceptance

In the first episode of the series, Mike and Mark unpack the first three attitudes in Jon Kabat-Zinn’s model. These core concepts help shape how we relate to ourselves, others, and the present moment.

1. Beginner’s Mind (Clip: 2m08)
Kabat-Zinn encourages us to approach each moment as if it were new, free from assumptions and past experiences. The idea is to cultivate a fresh, curious perspective—even toward familiar situations. This mindset opens the door to deeper learning, more meaningful relationships, and renewed appreciation for the everyday.

Key insight: When we let go of the belief that we already know, we create space for true discovery.

2. Non-Judging (Clip: 3m35)
Modern life trains us to evaluate everything constantly—our performance, thoughts, feelings, and the world around us. Kabat-Zinn teaches that non-judging is the practice of noticing these thoughts without getting caught up in them. It’s not about suppressing judgment but becoming aware of its automatic nature and choosing not to engage with it.

Key insight: By observing our thoughts without attaching labels, we create the mental freedom to respond instead of react.

3. Acceptance (Clip: 2m46)
Acceptance is often misunderstood as passivity. Kabat-Zinn reframes it as an active engagement with reality. Instead of resisting what is happening, we learn to meet it fully. This doesn’t mean we approve of everything—it means we begin with clarity and honesty, which is the first step toward meaningful change.

Key insight: Acceptance allows us to stop fighting reality and start responding to it with intention.

Why These Attitudes Matter

Beginner’s mind, non-judging, and acceptance form the bedrock of a mindful life. Practiced together, they help reduce stress, increase self-awareness, and improve emotional regulation. These are not abstract ideas—they are habits of attention and perception that anyone can develop.

This episode offers real-world reflections and actionable takeaways to begin integrating mindfulness into your daily routine.

William. H. McRaven: Make Your Bed

Episode 154: Listener Favorite: We take inspiration from Admiral William H. McRaven and his best selling book, Make Your Bed. In 2014 he addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas, in a video which immediately went viral. He shared 10 life lessons he had learned during his Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his long Naval career, but also throughout his life. In Make Your Bed, he builds on these principles by sharing inspiring tales from his own life and those around him in the military, explaining how anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves for the better.

Circle Of Influence

Circle Of Influence

Hello members and subscribers! It’s time for our fifth Moonshots Master episode, and here we are breaking down the CIRCLE OF INFLUENCE.Opening up our minds to the concept, we get inspired by a series of motivational speakers, telling us to focus on you every day. We re-visit the very well-regarded Admiral William H. McRaven, who reminds us to start singing when we’re up to our necks in mud. We then hear from Robin Sharma, who reminds us to simply embrace confidence every day.Now we’re all inspired, the next section helps us learn about the Circle of Influence, and who’s better to teach us than Stephen Covey himself. Mr Covey breaks down the Inner circle for proactive people (circle of influence), as well as the Outer circle for reactive people (circle of concern).Now we understand the influence and mindset towards our circles, let’s work on how to make this reflection a part of our habit every day. We listen to Janis from Time Management, who has some actionable tips to stay focused. We also learn from Fearless Soul, and how we are responsible for who we agree to spend time with. Closing out the show, we hear again from Stephen Covey, who has some powerful mindset tips for us, encouraging us to remember that we can choose to carry your weather with us.

William D Danko: The Millionaire Next Door

William D Danko: The Millionaire Next Door

In The Millionaire Next Door, William D. Danko skews the myths about how (and where) most millionaires live, and what it takes to become one. Their extensive research identified the sometimes surprising characteristics and habits shared by many millionaires. For instance, millionaires are often bargain shoppers (they buy used cars and off-the-rack clothing), pay only a small percentage of their wealth in income taxes, and shun the lavish lifestyles we often associate with being rich.The book explains how to determine what your net worth should be, according to your age and income, and how you can build wealth over time and become a millionaire—if you have the discipline.

Napoleon Hill: Think And Grow Rich

Napoleon Hill: Think And Grow Rich

Think and Grow Rich has been called the "Granddaddy of All Motivational Literature." It was the first book to boldly ask, "What makes a winner?" The man who asked and listened for the answer, Napoleon Hill, is now counted in the top ranks of the world's winners himself.The most famous of all teachers of success spent "a fortune and the better part of a lifetime of effort" to produce the "Law of Success" philosophy that forms the basis of his books and that is so powerfully summarized in this one. Napoleon said his philosophy can help people succeed in any line of work, to do and be anything they can imagine.

Jim Collins: Good To Great

Jim Collins: Good To Great

Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't is a management book by Jim C. Collins that describes how companies transition from being good companies to great companies, and how most companies fail to make the transition. The book (buy on Amazon) was a bestseller, selling four million copies and going far beyond the traditional audience of business books. Collins identified several key characteristics in companies that made the leap from good to great.Collins found that the main reason certain companies become great is they narrowly focus the company’s resources on their field of key competence.
