The Moonshot Podcast

Most companies are stuck in AI “motion” - pilots, consultants, and tools that never reach production.
In this episode of Moonshot, I’m joined by David Hyman (Co-founder + Board Advisor, Lendi Group) to break down how Lendi shipped a customer-facing AI agent in 16 weeks - and what it really takes to become AI-native in a regulated industry.
We cover:
Why AI pilots / POCs stall before production
Project Aurora: rebuilding workflows with AI at the core (not bolting on chat)
Agentic AI governance: human-on-the-loop vs human-in-the-loop
Cross-functional hackathons that surface real, shippable AI use cases
Measuring ROI when the marginal cost of building is collapsing
The VIC framework: Velocity, Intelligence, Capacity
How AI agents change skills, culture, trust, and leadership
Big tech owning the stack: where the next opportunities still exist
If you’re a founder, operator, or leader trying to move beyond AI hype and actually ship, this is a must-listen.

We are drowning in new tools, but we are running them on an outdated "Human Operating System."
Dom Price (Ex-Atlassian Futurist) argues that most companies are failing at digital transformation because they are trying to cram 2026 technology into 19th-century management styles.
🎙️ In this episode, we cover:
The "Fool with a Tool" Paradox: Why AI might just be speeding up your mistakes.
Stop Predicting: Why the obsession with certainty is killing innovation.
The Innovation Killer: Why "Best Practice" is actually lazy leadership.
Battling Convenience: How friction (like going to the supermarket) fuels creativity.
2026 Skills: Why storytelling and reflection are the new superpowers.
If you’re navigating AI, leadership, or career uncertainty - this is your reset.

Is the speed of AI moving faster than your nervous system can handle? You aren’t alone.
We often assume that to survive the Age of AI, we need to become more like machines - grinding harder, processing faster, and shutting off our emotions. But today’s guest argues that this instinct is biologically guaranteeing our failure.
In this episode with Rich Hua (former Chief EQ Evangelist at Amazon), we cover:
The "Safety Trap": Why we mistakenly buy software to solve human problems (and why 70% of AI projects fail).
The Physics of Burnout: Understanding "The Jerk" and the violence of technological acceleration on the nervous system.
The MIT Data: Why high collective IQ has nothing to do with individual PhDs (and the "X-factor" that actually makes a team smart).
The 2030 Question: What is a human's purpose when AI is 1,000x smarter than us?
If you feel like you’re drowning in new tools and struggling to keep up, this conversation is your permission slip to stop trying to be a robot and start being human again.

Are you struggling with High Functioning Burnout? Do you wake up exhausted, even though you’re "doing everything right"? Do you find yourself getting sick the moment you slow down after a big project?
You aren't lazy.
You are likely suffering from The Campaign Lifestyle—a dangerous cycle where you go "all in" on business, only to crash and burn in your health.

In this episode, High Performance Mentor Rachel Godfrey (Founder of ONYX) joins Tatjana to reveal why the traits that make you rich - your drive and discipline - are the exact things breaking your body.
We discuss:
🔥 The "Human Doing" Trap: Why your self-worth is tied to productivity.
🔥 The Second Shift: Why high-achieving women still feel like failures at home.
🔥 Completion Addiction: Why you can't rest until the To-Do list is empty. 
🔥 The Identity Upgrade: How to divorce your old self to get the body you want.
🔥 Speed Round: The truth about Ozempic, The 5 AM Club, and "Cheat Meals."

If you are a high-achieving woman who feels like she is thriving in business but surviving in her body, this episode is your wake-up call.
