EXPONENTIAL MINDSET
An exponential mindset refers to our point of view at Xponential Society, that there’s no problem that we cannot solve when we apply exponential technologies and innovative ways of thinking. We also sometimes refer to this as an “abundance mindset.” We have a hopeful outlook on the world and our future, and so we focus our energies on empowering others to create the abundant future we envision.
Thinking linearly can prove costly to businesses, governments, and individuals alike. Firms in countless industries are seeing the effects of disruption and disintermediation happening at the hands of emerging technologies and those companies smart enough to be wielding them. Exponential thinking reduces some of this disruptive stress and reveals new opportunities. If we can better plan for the accelerating pace, we can ease the transition from one paradigm to the next, and greet the future in stride.
THE 6 D’s
Peter Diamandis constructed a useful framework to help navigate the exponential journey that a digital technology takes, known as Peter Diamandis’ 6 D’s. This framework explains what happens as an area becomes information-enabled:
- Digitized :Once a technology is digitized it becomes an information science, and so we can use computers to manage it.
- Deceptive: Exponential growth is hard to spot. At the beginning of most exponentially advancing environments, the early stages of development are almost imperceptible.
- Disruptive: After the initial deceptive growth, the development of an exponentially advancing technology can make the previous paradigm effectively obsolete, out-performing it in both effectiveness and cost.
- Dematerialized: Items that were once large and unwieldy can now fit easily into our pockets. The miniaturization of sensors paired with digitization allows for the elimination of dedicated single-use physical devices.
- Demonetized: GPS systems and high resolution video cameras were prohibitively expensive in the past, but almost anyone can access them now that they are applications and sensors included on and in your phone. The cost of producing and replicating software is dramatically cheaper than creating the physical version of it, and the economies of scale associated with the sensors allow them to become eminently affordable.
- Democratized: Products, services, and information that were once only available to wealthy nations, research labs, or companies, are now becoming accessible by an ever-increasing percentage of the global population. If you can buy a cheap phone with an internet connection, you have the same communications capabilities and access to the same exact platforms as a billionaire.
PROGRAMS
Over the next 30 years, we’ll encounter some of the greatest transitions that any generation has ever had to face. Technological disruption is already affecting every part of our lives…every business, every industry, every society…even what it means to be “human.” These changes show no signs of slowing down; in fact, they’re accelerating rapidly. The world urgently needs a new mindset and toolset to overcome the challenges of technological disruption.INNOVATION
–The purpose behind this program is to change lives. Students rarely get exposure to global leaders and industry experts; instead they’re in a classroom learning about the past. We need to inspire and motivate high-potential students to start thinking big. The world is very different than it was 10 years ago. The youth are more empowered than ever to create real change and make a significant impact in the world, and all that is missing is their ambition and mindset. They need to see what’s out there. They need to be exposed to emerging trends and technologies so they can identify their interests and start working on developing tangible skills in those areas.
FOUNDATION
–The program is designed to replicate learning environments of companies like Google and Facebook. Participants will tackle interesting and complex problems with teams, while being exposed to the most salient topics of their generation. Throughout the program, the students will have access to exclusive conferences and events, internship opportunities, deliver presentations, engage in debates and discussions, and build their professional portfolio, including their LinkedIn profiles, 1-pagers and slide decks.

PROGRAMS OUTCOMES
Develop Real-World Skills: Successful executives have one things in common: they are great communicators. The students will develop their presentation skills, hone their written communication skills through slide decks and one-pagers, and become captivating speakers.
- Learn How To Learn: AT The Exponential Society, students explore problems that don’t have solutions. The program is designed to purposely create an environment of debate and uncertainty. Students will develop the skill set to seek out and adapt to new information and ‘figure it out’.
- Make Informed Career Decisions: The Exponential Society helps students understand what they’re passionate about, so they can make better decisions with entreprenuership. The assets they create will differentiate them in their university applications, scholarships, and job interviews.
- Exposure To Internship Opportunities: Network with leading organizations to identify internship opportunities and develop career experience early.
- Build Your Professional Network: Meet like-minded individuals that you can partner with to build your next big venture, while extending your corporate network with world-class mentors.
- Think Ahead: Exploring cutting-edge topics, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Genomics, will give students the insight and knowledge to lead the future. By starting early, students can predict what’s next, develop their expertise, and prepare to shape tomorrow’s industries.
