THE MINDSET | The Vision Journey | A 4-Step Blueprint for Turning Ideas into Impact

Host | Bryan Smeltzer, Author of The Visionary Leader

Welcome to The Visionary Chronicles, a podcast where we break down the strategies, mindsets, and principles behind the world’s most Visionary leaders and brands.

Today, I’m excited to share a powerful excerpt and discussion from Chapter 2 of my latest book, The Visionary Leader—a chapter titled and purposefully, “The MINDSET.”

This chapter explores what I believe is the core engine of Visionary leadership. Before the product, before the strategy, before the execution—there is the mind. The mindset of a leader sets the tone, defines the culture, and guides the brand’s long-term direction. The greatest Visionaries—whether it’s Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Walt Disney, or Da Vinci—first mastered their minds before they mastered their industries.

What separates a manager from a Visionary isn’t just title or talent—it’s how they think. Visionaries don’t see the world as it is; they see it as it could be. And then they lead others toward that future with clarity, creativity, and conviction.

Let’s take a deep dive into how Visionary leaders shape and sharpen this most powerful asset—their Mindset.

If this episode resonated with you, I encourage you to grab a copy of The Visionary Leader; The Success Principles of The World’s Greatest Visionaries. It’s available NOW wherever books are sold — and it’s the perfect companion if you’re looking to reignite your purpose, or lead with more clarity in a complex world.
