CHRONICLE 211 The Visionary Chronicles Podcast BOOK RELEASE! The Visionary Leader, The Success Principles of The World’s Greatest Visionaries   THE MINDSET | Your Mind, Your Map | Building the Mental Framework for Continuous Achievement Host | Bryan Smeltzer, Author of The Visionary Leader Welcome to this episode of The Visionary Chronicles. I’m your host, Bryan Smeltzer—entrepreneur, strategist, and author of The Visionary Leader. Today, I want to share a deeper reflection from Chapter 2 of the book, titled "Mindset Is the Road Map." This chapter speaks to the very core of what it means to lead with vision—not just manage, not just execute—but imagine, influence, and inspire on a level few leaders ever reach. So many believe that success lies in processes, tactics, or even luck. But those are simply outputs. The true input—the beginning of every breakthrough—is mindset. The Visionary leader sees things differently. They view their brand as more than a product or company—it’s part of a bigger movement, something that lives and breathes. These leaders use their minds as a strategic compass, guiding their teams toward uncharted paths. They challenge the status quo and, more importantly, create something entirely new. We’re going to explore what this looks like in action—how mindset becomes the starting point for movements, how it powers bold ideas, and how it shapes brands that leave legacies.       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.
