このコンテンツについて

Moon Snacks is the podcast where extraordinary leaders pack their bags for an extraordinary journey.

Each week, Dr. Ed Hoffman—former NASA Chief Knowledge Officer—and author Jessica Fox sit down with a visionary from the worlds of management, technology, and the arts who's about to embark on the ultimate business trip: a one-way ticket to the moon.

With strict weight restrictions (and the need for radiation-proof DVDs), our guests can only take three films for the journey. Through these carefully chosen movies, we discover what drives the most innovative minds in their fields—uncovering the stories, lessons, and leadership insights that have shaped their remarkable careers.

Plus, they get to choose one movie snack for the endless supply and one book to keep them company among the stars.

It's part career masterclass, part film club, part space odyssey. Welcome aboard.

New episodes every Moonsnacks Monday starting July 2025 - your weekly dose of leadership lessons, served with popcorn.

HOSTS

Dr. Ed Hoffman spent 33 years at NASA, including serving as the agency's first Chief Knowledge Officer. He founded NASA's Academy of Program/Project and Engineering Leadership—the world's top-rated Project Management Academy—and helped establish new governance systems after the Columbia Shuttle accident. Now a lecturer at Columbia University and CEO of Knowledge Strategies LLC, Ed knows what it takes to lead teams through the impossible. He also knows that the best leaders never stop learning—whether they're launching rockets or just trying to get to Moonsnacks Monday.

Jessica Fox is an author, screenwriter, and co-creator of The Open Book—the world's first bookshop holiday Airbnb. Her memoir "Three Things You Need to Know About Rockets" was Waterstones book of the month, and as a former NASA storyteller, she's spent her career proving that the best science happens when you can tell its story. She currently writes for film and TV, and believes that whether you're writing a screenplay or running a company, it all comes down to character development.

  • Bridget McNulty // From Grief to Joy: A Writer's Journey to the Stars
    2025/07/15

    This week on Moonsnacks, hosts Dr. Ed Hoffman and Jessica Fox send South African writer and diabetes advocate Bridget McNulty on a cinematic voyage with three films that illuminate her philosophy of transforming life's challenges into meaningful connection.

    McNulty, author of The Grief Handbook and co-founder of Sweet Life—South Africa's largest diabetes community—has chosen films that celebrate human resilience and the power of small acts of kindness. Her selections reveal a beautiful progression: Amélie for its exploration of how tiny good deeds create ripple effects of joy, About Time for its reminder that we don't need superpowers to live extraordinarily, and The Intouchables for its celebration of relationships built on honesty rather than pity.

    From her college days raising funds for AIDS orphanages to pioneering diabetes advocacy through innovative WhatsApp chatbots and stock photo libraries, McNulty embodies Amélie's spirit of making the world brighter through action. Her journey from writing about grief to exploring joy reflects her belief in meaning-making as survival—and her conviction that wherever you are emotionally is exactly where you're meant to be.

  • Walda Roseman // Telecommunications Pioneer Takes Flight to the Moon
    2025/07/07

    This week on Moonsnacks, hosts Dr. Ed Hoffman and Jessica Fox send telecommunications trailblazer Walda Roseman on an interstellar journey with three carefully chosen films that reflect her extraordinary career bridging global communications.

    As the former COO of the Internet Society and current Chair of the Arthur C. Clarke Foundation, Roseman has spent decades proving that "as long as we can communicate, there's a chance for peace." Her lunar cinema selection reveals this philosophy beautifully: It's a Wonderful Life for its butterfly effect of kindness, Arrival for its celebration of linguistic courage in the face of the unknown, and Love Actually to remember "what being human is all about" during her solitary moon sojourn.

    From her early days performing alongside her actress mother to becoming the first woman in numerous senior telecommunications roles, Roseman's story is one of resilience, faith, and determination. She shares moving insights about growing up in an orphanage, pioneering international satellite communications, and her current work developing the HAL 9000 Challenge—an intergenerational collaboration aimed at ensuring humanity thrives in our AI-driven future.

    Plus: Endless Oreos (with milk) await her on the lunar surface!
