b'Welcome to Day 1518 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.\\xa0This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomCrafting a Futuristic Exponential 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 1518 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 to 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, another type of mindset you mentioned a couple of weeks ago is an exponential mindset.\\xa0What is an exponential mindset, and how can I craft an exponential mindset?\\xa0
Crafting a Futuristic Exponential Mindset
Last week I explored some data that will back up why we should have a Futuristic Abundance Mindset. This week we will look at how to have an exponential mindset. I am using some of the information mentioned in Peter Diamandis\\u2019s blogs and book \\u201cThe Future is Faster Than You Think.\\u201d
Do you have an Exponential Mindset? What is an Exponential Mindset?
That\\u2019s our conversation today\\u2026
We\\u2019ll discuss the advantages of having an Exponential Mindset and how it can benefit your business and life.
Our brains, the 100 billion neurons, and 100 trillion synaptic connections that shape everything we think and do.\\xa0God created us as His masterpiece.\\xa0As we read in https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%20139%3A14&version=NLT (Psalm 139:14), Thank you for making me so\\xa0wonderfully\\xa0complex! Your workmanship is marvelous\\u2014how well I know it.
For all of civilization, we are primarily \\u201clocal and linear.\\u201d\\xa0That is to say, we think locally and linearly. We are linear thinkers.
So, here\\u2019s an experiment.\\xa0I will ask you a question, and then you can try with your kids or grandkids.
Choose between the following:
Option #1: I give you $1 per day for the next 30 days;
Or
Option #2: I give you a penny on the first day, two cents on the second day, four cents on the third day, eight cents on the fourth day, and continue to double it each day for 30 days.
\\xa0Ok \\u2013 within 10 seconds, choose.
Obviously, option #1 nets you $30\\u2026 easy to predict, the definition of linear.
But option #2, where we are doubling - that is to say, growing exponentially, goes from deceptive to disruptive.
After the first five days (1, 2, 4, 8, 16 cents) net you just 31 cents --\\xa0it\\u2019s\\xa0deceptively\\xa0dismal.
But after 30 doublings, the situation gets\\xa0disruptive\\u2026 now we\\u2019ve increased the payout that will quickly reach a billionfold\\u2026
So if you, your kids, or grandkids choose option #2, they would end up with a payout of\\xa0$10,737,418.24 in 30 days and $171,798,691.84 in 34 days!
That\\u2019s the promise and power of exponential growth!
One of our biggest challenges as entrepreneurs is to train our brains to think exponentially.
This isn\\u2019t easy to do. But it\\u2019s...'
