Welcome to today's episode of the Mindset Mentor Podcast. I'm your host, Rob Dial. If you have not yet done so,

and you love this podcast, do me a favor. Pull out your phone

real quick. However you're listening to us, go to Spotify or Apple Podcasts, whatever might be,

and give this podcast a rating and review. The reason why I asked for that is because the more

positive rating and reviews this podcast gets, the more of those platforms actually show this

podcast and present it to people who have never listened to it before, which allows this podcast to grow, but also for us to impact more people. So it'll take you five

and animals is how we can imagine a fake scenario, a fake

future, good or bad, and we can get an emotional reaction from that fake future right now,

What if this doesn't happen to me?
