So the standard cable is a micro USB to USB. But obviously these new macs don't have a USB port so I was wondering if there is a way that I can connect the Mojo into my Mac's 3.5mm headphone jack. Please let me know, thanks.

If it's like the MacBook pros, the 3.5mm headphone jack is also a mini toslink port. Then you could use an optical cable to connect to the mojo. Not clear to me based on the specs though. Hopefully someone else can chime in.

The MacBook pros and the older MacBooks had a combined toslink 3.5mm headphone port with optical/digital spdif output.

Yours does not have that anymore.

Get a USB-c to USB adapter or hub and connect it via normal USB port.

Cheers.

Is there no micro USB to USB-c cable yet?

$7

Don't know if it works but these cables are available.

Cheers.
P.S.: Downside using this cable is that you cannot charge your MacBook at the same time if you don't use a hub. Best is to just use the Apple dongle thingy and use the normal mojo cable with the usb-a port. Like this one: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/...7dfd87afa6ce1e385b374ad52a792af1ee9d145793d6a you probably will need that in any case for external displays etc.
