190: Future Story

FUTURE STORY

What if science fiction isn’t fiction at all? What if your future can be so much better than your past? What if humanity conquers death and you and I can live a thousand years with strong healthy bodies?

That vision is coming to pass, and, if you embrace it, it can be your empowering future story.

Today’s guest is man who has embraced this story about human evolution. His name is Chris Smedley.  His company, Digital Habitats, is Earth’s first terraformer. A terraformer modifies the atmosphere, temperature, surface topography or ecology of a planet. Digital Habitats will create fully autonomous happy cities complete with habitation, infrastructure, and streamlined future-world transportation systems.

This episode will give you a sneak peak into an exciting world that is evolving around you at exponential speed. You will get a fascinating glimpse at:

  • Ray Kurzweil’s vision of the Singularity – that point in time in the very near future when the word HUMAN is redefined
  • Kurzweil’s collaboration with Google to create an artificial mind
  • The 3 Bridges of human evolution: 1) Biological – people as beings with bodies; 2) Cyborg – people with bodies enhanced by technology (not the nightmarish vision created by Hollywood); 3) Homodigitalis – Humans with godlike powers
  • Singualrity University – A school in California created by Peter Diamandis and Ray Kurzweil in 2008 with the goal of shepherding humanity into a new abundant world by empowering people to leverage emerging technology to positively impact one billion lives
  • The 130 cognitive biases of all human beings
  • Overcoming our biggest challenge in life – being driven by our emotions
  • Moving beyond competition into a world of collaboration
  • Overcoming our false sense of scarcity

Humans are storytelling machines. You and I are constantly creating, destroying, elevating, and diminishing ourselves with our inner narratives that appear and disappear in our minds 24/7. Most people are not aware of this process. As a result, they believe that life is happening to them. This feels random, chaotic, and scary. Why do people tolerate it? Because they tell themselves, "That's the way it is. That is reality." Those seven words could not be farther from the truth.

This podcast will explore the storytelling process that is responsible for every facet of your life. It will discuss and encourage ways to take control of your personal narrative so that you can begin directing your destiny with an empowering story.

About your host

Profile picture for Louis Di Bianco

Louis Di Bianco

Louis Di Bianco is a storyteller. He fell in love with storytelling as a child. In his teens, his ability to tell entertaining stories saved his life on the streets of the Bronx, where he grew up. He discovered quickly how to make the neighborhood tough guys like, trust, and respect him by engaging them with stories.

Louis became a professional stage and screen actor to get paid for his love of storytelling. He has appeared in numerous feature films, TV movies, and television series, as well as performing on stage internationally.

He has taught acting for both stage and camera for as long as he has been an actor. We're talking more than four decades. Eventually, he created courses in compelling communication for business people who want to present their ideas, products, and services to the world with clarity, confidence, and persuasive power.

Louis takes the words, Change Your Story, Change Your Life, very seriously. His life experience has taught him that every word we utter, every belief we embrace, is a made up story. Even your past is a made up story that seems so vivid that you swear it's real. Accept that, and you remove all the barriers between you and your dreams. You will be able to enjoy the adventure of changing your story to change your life.
