The Exponential Story

The most important story for you to understand, right now in 2023, and moving forward, is THE EXPONENTIAL STORY. The meaning of that statement has everything to do with dinosaurs.The dinosaur was king of the Cretaceous Period of planet Earth. That was few years ago. 66 million years to be exact. It was a very hot humid world; most land was submerged under massive oceans.Can you guess how many years the dinos dominated the earth? If you guessed 100 million years, you are BINGO, correct!With that kind of staying power, you'd think Dino Dino would be around forever. Oops! An asteroid suddenly appears in the sky. This is one mother of a flying fragment. 10 km wide! Just slightly smaller than San Francisco.This extraterrestrial intruder decides to land in the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Not a gentle landing. It explodes with a blast that releases 2 million times more energy than the largest nuclear bomb ever exploded. This is literally a killer landing.Megatsunamis, earthquakes, firestorms, and volcanic eruptions swallow the Earth. The sun disappears behind a huge dust cloud and peeps its rays out only 10 years later. That dramatic fanfare was King Dino's last stand.It was bye-bye Dino, and hello nimble resilient Homo Sapiens. Your ancestors and mine became the new kings of the Earth. Throw a party whydonchya, we're still in charge. Really?You probably guessed it. The party is about to end. Correction. The party has ended, but most of the guests don't know it. And unless they wake up right away, they will join the dinosaurs in extinction.The new asteroid has already struck our world. It's called Exponential Technology. Hey, don't believe me. Go directly to the source of the information I'm sharing. You can take a deep fascinating dive into the subject in a factual book that reads like a great adventure novel. The title is Bold: How to Go Big, Create Wealth, and Impact the World, by Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler.This book is not just an eye-opener. It's an alarm call to the 21st century. It's also a playbook for the openminded to reinvent themselves and experience levels of abundance and wealth that they haven't even dreamed about yet.Bold is a call to action for you to write a new story and live into it.If you only take one thing from this podcast today, let it be this. Developing an exponential mindset is not an option if you want live with dignity, joy, wealth, and freedom. Yes, wealth is an integral part of the formula.The book will challenge you to explore different paths to physical, spiritual, and financial wealth. It will reveal how exponential thinking affects every part of your life and the lives of those you care for.One area that should get your immediate attention is the way you earn money. Most people struggle with money because they are married to linear earning models. What's a linear earning model. The most obvious and prevalent is what we call a job. Working for an hourly wage or a salary, even a lucrative one is still a linear approach to earning money.What's wrong with that? It puts a ceiling on what you can earn as you trade your limited time (we all have just 24 hours each day) for money.I will come back to the battle between linear and exponential thinking in future podcasts. In fact every episode I create will touch on this most important story of the 21st century - The Exponential Story.Understand it, embrace it, and let it change your story and change your life. Or, ignore it and be caught like a deer in the headlights when this happens. (EXPLOSION)I'm Louis Di Bianco, your host and guide, and fellow storyteller.

YOU ARE YOUR STORY

YOU ARE YOUR STORYEpisode DetailsThe dictionary defines story as "an account of imaginary or real people and events told for entertainment."Wow! The problem phrase in that definition is "told for entertainment." If all stories are told for entertainment, then they don't have much to do with our happiness, relationships, and income. They are just forms of distraction.That's a dangerous view of stories. Why? Because every action you take, the place you decide to live, the people you spend time with, your happiness and unhappiness, your wealth or struggle for money are all the result of the narratives that you create and allow to shape and define your life.If you want more empowerment and joy in your life, start thinking of stories as collections of thoughts organized in such a way as to create meaning in your life. That meaning can elevate your or diminish you. It can fill you with energy, trust, and hope, or it can fill you with anxiety, mistrust, and dread.Everything you believe about yourself, others, and the world, is based on STORIES.Religious stories shape our beliefs about the origins and the ultimate goal of our lives. Political stories define our degree of freedom or our bondage. Your personal stories determine your happiness or suffering, your social status, and your income.Here's the thing. Most people are unaware of their constant storytelling. And, they shy away from taking responsibility for their stories. So, their stories are creating their lives and their destinies.This podcast will explore the implications of that on your happiness, income, and freedom. Plus, it will show you how to step up and choose to Change Your Story & Change Your Life.
