Companies like Loon, Mineral, Project Foghorn, and Waymo all have one thing in common. They started out as moonshot companies, companies that weren't satisfied with the status quo + wanted to alter the way we view current problems.Moonshots are long-term companies, they are optimizing for 10x change over a decade of time. Moonshots take ambitions people with an innovative, unconventional mindset and most important it takes people with a desire to build.Today, I'm super fortunate to play host to 3 incredible individuals. Lohit Potnuru, Timothy Simmons, and Lauren Pryor.We are all innovators at The Knowledge Society + have been working through solving several problems across the world. Last month we had the opportunity to work on a project for the United Nations + right now we are tackling big problems in the world b creating a moonshot company!We talked about different strategies that go into creating a moonshot, the mental model of an employee at google x, and conducted a roundtable discussion on google x companies. We each chose 1 company, explained the project, the problem + how the company is trying to solve it!Episode 43 is value-packed!
