b'Welcome to Day 1503 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.\\xa0This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomCrafting A Futuristic Mindset \\u2013 Ask GrampsWisdom - the final frontier to true knowledge.\\xa0Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! Where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy.\\xa0Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. Today is Day 1503 of our Trek, and our focus on Fridays is the future technological and societal advances, so we call it Futuristic Fridays.\\xa0My personality is one that has always been very future-oriented.\\xa0Since my childhood, I have yearned for the exploration and discovery of new technologies and advancements for the future.\\xa0I grew up with the original Star Trek series, and even today, as I am now on my 65th revolution around the sun, I still dream of traveling in space. Each week we will explore rapidly converging technologies and advancements, which will radically change our lives.\\xa0At times, the topics may sound like something out of a science fiction novel, but each area that we explore is already well on its way of becoming a reality over the next couple of decades.
To keep with our theme of \\u201cAsk Gramps,\\u201d I will put our weekly topics in the form of a question to get us on track.\\xa0This week\\u2019s question is, Hey Gramps, how can I create and maintain a mindset that is future-oriented while staying focused on what is essential for today?\\xa0
Crafting a Futuristic Mindset
Last week we focused on turning Sick Care into Well Care. This week let us look at what it takes to be future-oriented while maintaining a focus on what is essential today.\\xa0I am using some of the information mentioned in Peter Diamandis\\u2019s blogs and book \\u201cThe Future is Faster Than You Think.\\u201d
While business and material success is not the most important determining factor of overall success, it is an indicator of a focused life. So let me ask you a question. What made Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, or Elon Musk succeed? Was it their technology or their mindset?
Personally, I think mindset is an entrepreneur\\u2019s most critical asset. Yet few of us ever take the time to craft it -- to purposefully select and sharpen the mindset(s) we desire.
Your mindset is the filter through which you see the world. It determines how you spend your time, what decisions you make, and where you invest your resources.
I\\u2019ve been asked whether I\\u2019ve always had an Abundance mindset and an Exponential mindset over the years. The answer is yes, and no. They are both mindsets that are part of my personality, but I\\u2019ve crafted and honed my mindset progressively over the past 40+ years.
So how do you craft and reinforce a mindset? Which mindsets are the most exciting for me? These are the questions we will explore today.
Let\\u2019s dive in\\u2026
HOW MINDSETS WORK...

Before choosing which mindset(s) to focus on, it helps to understand how mindsets work.
Here\\u2019s an analogy: if you\\u2019ve been following Artificial Intelligence developments, you know that we can train neural nets to do image recognition. The challenge with these neural nets is that they\\u2019re only as good as the data you feed them.
For example, if you show the neural nets thousands of pictures of cats and show them a picture of a dog, the algorithm will tell you that the dog is actually a cat. It doesn\\u2019t know any better.
The same is true for our brains, which are also a type of neural net.\\xa0If you continuously feed your mind with negative perspectives, your outlook will be negative. You won\\u2019t know any better.\\xa0So my question to you is, how are you training\\xa0your\\xa0neural net?
Most of us don\\u2019t realize that we\\u2019re doing this training. It operates in the background. For example, you train your mind constantly...'
