Using Notion for productivity and organization
Delegation, prioritization, and scheduling systems
Entrepreneurship and side hustles
Creativity and content creation as accountability
Loneliness while traveling
Finding joy and fun in difficult situations
Spiritual signs, synchronicities, and trusting momentum

77: Masterminding Healthy Habits & Taking The Leap

Josh and Sasha open the Mastermind Moments podcast by sharing healthy habits: Josh’s daily meditation, exercise, reading (five books toward a 12-book goal), steps, and consistent posting, plus adapting routines while traveling in hot, unwalkable India; Sasha emphasizes daily movement through long bike rides, label-reading and farmer’s market shopping, cycle-synced time blocking, and intentional contact with loved ones.
They discuss maintaining long-distance relationships through personalized systems, lists, and periodic outreach, including scheduling family calls. Josh reflects on reassessing friendships that feel unsupportive of his growing business and considers leaning into his entrepreneurial Jewish community, while also describing feeling socially “flat” with his partner’s friends due to communication barriers and alcohol.
Sasha shares birthday plans, strong wellbeing, “magic” synchronicities, pitching efforts, potential housing/work exchange, and preparing to give notice at her job while pursuing creative goals.

76: Masterminding Quitting The 9-5

In this raw and high-stakes mastermind session, Sasha and Josh catch up across time zones to share some of their biggest life revelations yet.

They dive deep into the concept of "burning the boats," why being "ready" is a decision rather than a feeling, and how to maintain your nervous system regulation when you’re standing on the edge of a giant life pivot. Whether you're navigating career uncertainty or ready to claim your highest self-concept, this episode is a roadmap for trusting the universe’s signs and betting on yourself.
