The Shepherd – Humor Unplugged

Wisdom – the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! Where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1422 of our Trek, and time for a 3-minute mini-trek called Humor Unplugged. Our Thursday podcast will provide a short and clean funny story to help you lighten up and live a rich and satisfying life. Something to cheer you and give a bit a levity in your life. We are told in Proverbs 15:30 A cheerful look brings joy to the heart; good news makes for good health. We are also encouraged in Proverbs 17:22 A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength. Consider this your vitamin supplement of cheer for today. So let’s jump right in with today’s funny which is titled:

The Shepherd

All week long Pastor Frank dutifully prepared for what he felt was going to be an essential message. He has taken countless hours studying the various passages about shepherds and their sheep. He was careful to include some poignant stories and illustrations. Pastor Frank practiced the message throughout the week. On Sunday, Pastor Frank gave his all as he preached what he felt was an excellent message about shepherds and his sheep. Pastor Frank explained that sheep need lots of guidance, and that a shepherd’s job is to stay close to the sheep, protect them from wild animals, and keep them from wandering off. He reinforced his point about how the shepherd knows his sheep, and they recognize his voice with John 10:3. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep recognize his voice and come to him. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.Pastor Frank went on to reinforce the concept of the closeness between the shepherd and his sheep. He said that the people of the church were God’s sheep. As he was coming to the close of his message, he asked, “If you are the sheep, who is the shepherd?” It was pretty obvious he was indicating that he was the shepherd of his flock.

After a few seconds of silence, little Johnny shouted: “Jesus! Jesus is the shepherd.”

Pastor Frank was caught by surprise with that response and asked Johnny, “Well then Johnny, who am I?”

Johnny furrowed his brow and thought for a few moments and then spoke up, “Well, I guess you must be a sheepdog.”

I hope that brought a smile to your face today. If it did pass your smile onto some else, we all could use a kind smile each day. Our Thursday thought is, “There are quite enough sheep already – be a shepherd: be somebody who’s bold and who leads.”

Here is our verse for today:

John 10:16

I have other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also. They will listen to my voice, and there will be one flock with one shepherd.

Just as you enjoy these nuggets of humor, please encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.’ If you would like to listen to any of our past 1421 treks or read the Wisdom Journal, they are all available at Wisdom-Trek.com.  I encourage you to subscribe to Wisdom-Trek on your favorite podcast player so that each day will be downloaded to you automatically.

Life After Covid-19 Part 5 – Ask Gramps

Wisdom – the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! Where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1408 of our Trek and time for our Philosophy Friday series. Each Friday, we will ponder some of the fundamental truths and mysteries of life, and how they can impact us in creating our living legacy. As we continue on this trek called life, sometimes we have questions about life, so our Friday trek is a time where we can ‘Ask Gramps.’  Gramps will answer questions that you would like to ask your dad or granddad, but for whatever reason, this is not possible. No matter how old we are, I know that all of us would like the opportunity to ask dad or gramps questions about life in many areas.

We may mix it up a bit on our Friday episodes, but will strive to keep them down to earth and enjoyable.  If you have any questions that you would like to ask Gramps, please email them to guthrie@wisdom-trek.com

Last month, we addressed a question that is too broad to answer in one episode. The answer today is the fifth in a series which will continue this week and next on our ‘Ask Gramps’ episodes of how Covid-19 is impacting the long term economic effects in the United States. Please make sure that you download our Friday podcast sessions to follow the complete analysis. Better yet, subscribe to Wisdom-Trek so you can gain a bit of wisdom five days a week. So here is the question:

“Hey, Gramps, I realize that after this whole Covid-19 pandemic is under control, life will take on some sort of normalcy for most people. I can’t get my mind around how life will change with so many people out of work and many businesses not being able to survive. What is your take on how life will be after Covid-19?

Life After Covid-19 Part 5

Our analysis so far has been overall Jobs in Manufacturing, Brick-and-Mortar Retail, Restaurant Industry/Future Dining, and Commercial Real Estate/Offices.  As I mentioned in the past four weeks, I do not have a crystal ball nor a prophetic message about life after Covid-19.  That being said, I do have over 40 years of business and nearly 64 years of life experience, which helps me to see what others may not.

The core of the content today and in subsequent weeks comes from a book and companion blog written by Peter Diamandis. His book, ‘The Future is Faster Than You Think,’ was published in January of this year before Covid-19. Peter has recently also stated that Covid-19 would accelerate his predictions significantly. I recommend his book.

Let me once again offer some perspective. It has been said that crises don’t so much alter the course of history as accelerate changes that are already underway.  Exponential technology has been disrupting traditional industries at an ever-increasing pace.  The pandemic has put these changes into hyperspeed. Never have we had the opportunity to rewrite entire sectors, redefine the problems they address, and reinvent their solutions. This is a scary and also exciting time to be alive!   Any time we have a disaster such as this, there is also unlimited opportunity. The next economic sector we will explore Education: Impact: Perhaps the most dramatically notable effects of the pandemic have been on our schools. Practically overnight, millions of students became experts in “Zoom University.” And to date, roughly 1.38 billion students (primarily children) have been thrust into arguably the most dramatic industry pivot of this century.

Last year, edtech investments soared past $18.66 billion, driving a market shift towards digital learning and personalized classrooms. But as necessity makes way for innovation, the online education market is now projected to reach anywhere from $350-400 billion by 2025, and the numbers are only likely to accelerate.

For years, the education gap has continued to widen, as student debt (primarily in the U.S.) skyrockets, yet a degree’s ROI is questionable at best.

We are now facing a future in which the convergence of 5G, AI, and AR/VR digitizes, dematerializes, demonetizes, and democratizes education.

We may soon be able to offer the same level of personalized education to every single student, independent of socioeconomic status. This is the same way that Google democratized access to information, and YouTube did so for entertainment.

Entrepreneurial Opportunities: Here are some ideas to consider.

(1) AI-enabled one-on-one teaching at home: AI and immersive technologies (primarily virtual & augmented reality) may soon augment your kids’ education, offering personalized content based on student data.

Companies like Affectiva can use the forward-facing camera on an iPad in conjunction with its “emotional AI” technology (out of the MIT Media Lab) to know if your child is excited, confused, or bored. This then allows educators and edtech platforms alike to adapt their education strategy on a personalized basis in real-time, microsecond to microsecond.(2) Gaming As education: Moving towards access to compelling educational games that were endorsed by teachers and educational institutions, would focus kids on the subject matter for hours. Imagine a game that promised the following: “Mastery of this game by your children means they have completed all requirements of the 2nd-grade mathematics curriculum.”

(3) Education as a Subscription: For higher education, the idea that you go to college or graduate school, and then are done with learning for the rest of your life, is no longer valid. As a result, our higher education institutions should consider offering education services as a life-long subscription. When I’m accepted to MIT, it’s an offering that I expect to use throughout my life, taking courses online, in VR, and occasionally on campus.

Next Friday will close out this brief series with a segment about the 20 megatrends for the roaring 20s. It may be a bit longer, but I would like to cover all 20 on the same episode.

Proverbs 3:1-4

My child, never forget the things I have taught you.

Store my commands in your heart.

If you do this, you will live many years,

and your life will be satisfying.

Never let loyalty and kindness leave you!

Tie them around your neck as a reminder.

Write them deep within your heart.

Then you will find favor with both God and people,

and you will earn a good reputation.

That is a wrap for today’s question. Join us again next Friday for another question on our ‘Ask Gramps’ episode. Our next trek is Mediation Monday, where we will help you reflect on what is most important in life. So encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along on Monday for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.’If you would like to listen to any of the past 1407 daily treks or read the associated journals, they are all available at Wisdom-Trek.com. I encourage you to subscribe to Wisdom-Trek on your favorite podcast player so that each day will be downloaded to you automatically.

Day 1405 – Serious Faith – Wisdom Unplugged

Serious Faith – Wisdom Unplugged

Wisdom – the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! Where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1405 of our Trek, and it is time for our 3-minute mini trek called Wisdom Unplugged. This short nugget of wisdom includes an inspirational quote with a little bit of additional content for today’s trek. Consider this your vitamin supplement of wisdom for today. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget:

Today’s quote is from  Os Guinness, and it is:    Find out how seriously a believer takes his doubts, and you have the index of how seriously he takes his faith.    

Serious Faith

Doubt and faith are opposed to each other. The greater your doubt, the less is your faith. The converse is also true, as your faith grows more substantial and more durable, the doubts and fears in your life will begin to decrease. All of us face a certain amount of fears, worries, and concerns, but to what extent do they influence and control your life? We cannot fool ourselves if we say we have strong faith but live fearfully; then we are deceitful by the very words we speak. Others can see your life and know if your faith is real and is controlling your life. So let’s take our faith seriously and practice it through minimizing the doubts and fears in our lives. Let us live a life of bold confidence in the One who has created us and is the champion of our faith.  Hebrews 12:1-3 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne. Think of all the hostility he endured from sinful people; then you won’t become weary and give up.That’s a wrap for today’s Wisdom Unplugged quote.

Life After Covid-19 Part 4 – Ask Gramps

Wisdom – the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before.

Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase wisdom and create a living legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts.

Earlier last month, we addressed a question that is too broad to answer in one episode. The answer today is the fourth in a series that will span several weeks, which I will address on our Ask Gramps episodes, discussing the long term economic effects of the pandemic. Please make sure that you download our Friday podcast sessions to follow the complete analysis. Better yet, subscribe to Wisdom-Trek so you can gain a bit of wisdom five days a week. So here is the question…

“Hey, Gramps, I realize that after this whole Covid-19 pandemic is under control, life will take on some sort of normalcy for most people. I can’t get my mind around how life will change with so many people out of work and many businesses not being able to survive. What is your take on how life will be after Covid-19?”

Life After Covid-19 Part 4

Our analysis so far has been overall jobs in manufacturing, brick-and-mortar retail, and the restaurant industry/future dining. As I mentioned in the past three weeks, I do not have a crystal ball nor a prophetic message about life after Covid-19. That being said, I do have over 40 years of business and nearly 64 years of life experience, which help me to see what others may not.

The core of the content today and in subsequent weeks comes from a book and companion blog written by Peter Diamandis. His book The Future Is Faster Than You Think was published in January of this year before Covid-19. Peter has recently also stated that Covid-19 would accelerate his predictions significantly. I recommend his book.

Never have we had the opportunity to rewrite entire sectors, redefine the problems they address, and reinvent their solutions. This is a scary and also exciting time to be alive! Any time we have a disaster such as this, there is also unlimited opportunity.

The next economic sector we will explore is commercial real estate & offices.

Impact: The commercial real estate market is about to take a severe hit. And the real estate domino effect can topple adjacent financial institutions as well.

As thousands of companies race to digitize, offices are rapidly migrating to digital platforms and dematerializing entire divisions and corporate campuses.

The top-performing “Executive Team Coach” Keith Ferrazzi prophetically remarked a few weeks ago, “We’re not ‘going back to work’…We ARE at work, and for many, it’s more efficient and cost-effective than ever before.”

The convergence of 5G, WiFi-Gen6, video conferencing services (Zoom, Microsoft, and Cisco) and new collaboration tools such as Slack, are making our workforce more productive at home, freeing up an hour (or more) of commute time.

Entrepreneurial Opportunities: Here are some ideas to consider.

(1) Go Digital/Virtual: If you are a traditional company with a few hundred employees who clock in every day and work from a desk, maybe it’s time to consider dematerializing your office.

Consider the economic trade-off…What does your office space cost you? What would happen if you canceled your lease, pumped 80% of those savings into profit, and took the remaining 20% to give to your employees as a stipend for better bandwidth in their home? Or a more comfortable desk chair?

Or, if you really want to peek into the future, consider following the lead of Glenn Sanford, CEO of eXp Realty, the first-ever cloud-based real estate brokerage firm. Glenn utilized a virtual platform called VirBELA (which he now owns) to build out the company’s mega-campus in VR.

eXp Realty demonstrates the power of a dematerialized workspace, throwing out hefty overhead costs and fundamentally redefining what “real estate” really means. Ten years later, eXp Realty has an army of 14,000 agents across all 50 U.S. states, 3 Canadian provinces, and 400 MLS market areas…all without a single physical office.

(2) Live-Work Space: If you’re an owner of commercial real estate, get ready for a rocky future. What do you do as renters cancel on you? What happens when the prices plummet?

One idea you might consider is turning offices into a combination of Live-Work space (if zoning allows), whereby you can offer startups the opportunity for their employees to live and work in joint environments. Imagine comfortable one- and two-bedroom apartments in combination with open offices, conference rooms, a central kitchen, dining area, and a shared social lounge?

Now is the time to act if you are in the commercial real estate market or industry. It will radically change and consolidate during the next ten years. There are no guarantees, but we must be wise and make decisions based on the wisdom we have obtained.

James 4:13-16

Look here, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year. We will do business there and make a profit.” How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone.  What you ought to say is, “If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that.” Otherwise, you are boasting about your own pretentious plans, and all such boasting is evil.

We are still just scratching the surface of some of the accelerated changes that we will see in the next few years. Next Friday, we will explore more areas of transformation that is to come, specifically in education.

That is a wrap for today’s question. Join us again next Friday for another question on our Ask Gramps episode. Our next trek is Mediation Monday, where we will help you reflect on what is most important in life. So encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along on Monday for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.

Day 1399 – A Prayer for the Weary – Meditation Monday

Welcome to Day 1399 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom

A Prayer for the Weary – Meditation Monday

Wisdom – the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! Where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1399 of our Trek, and it is time for Meditation Monday. Taking time to relax, refocus, and reprioritize our lives is crucial in order to create a living legacy. For you, it may just be time alone for quiet reflection. You may utilize structured meditation practices. In my life, Meditation includes reading and reflecting on God’s Word and in prayer. It is a time to renew my mind, refocus on what is most important, and making sure that I am nurturing my soul, mind, and body. As you come along with me on our trek each Meditation Monday, it is my hope and prayer that you, too, will experience a time for reflection and renewing of your mind. 

So many people are weary with life. Before the pandemic, we were rushing from one activity to another. Over the past couple of months, we have become exhausted trying to adjust to a life of social distancing and coping with the ever-changing scenario. Before we know it, we will be back to a life of hustle once again. Our lifestyles are wearisome. This predicament is as old as humankind. Today let us meditate on:

A Prayer For The Weary

The wise King Solomon, after a life of phenomenal accomplishments, near the end of his life felt weary as he writes in Ecclesiastes 1:3-8 What do people get for all their hard work under the sun? Generations come, and generations go, but the earth never changes. The sun rises, and the sun sets, then hurries around to rise again. The wind blows south, and then turns north. Around and around it goes, blowing in circles. Rivers run into the sea, but the sea is never full. Then the water returns again to the rivers and flows out again to the sea. Everything is wearisome beyond description. No matter how much we see, we are never satisfied. No matter how much we hear, we are not content.

How about you? Can you relate to old King Solomon? I know there are days where I feel this way. What can we do about it? Here is a prayer that I came across recently, which is fitting for us who are weary.  It is based on Matthew 11:28-30  Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

Meditate on this prayer. Lord, some weary people are listening to or reading these words. Let them hear Your invitation to come to You with their burdens and their weary souls.

Let the wives who are weary of waiting for their husbands to spiritually lead their families come to You. They are weary of carrying a burden they were never intended to carry.

Let the weary single moms and the weary single dads who are weary being both mom and dad to their children. They do the best they can but never feel they have done enough, nor do they feel they have done what they do well enough.

Let the weary mothers come to You. They are weary from caring for their children, wiping noses and bottoms, taking temperatures, drying tears, and kissing away booboos.

Let the weary husbands come to You. They are weary from trying to provide for, protect, and preserve their family and their marriages. They are weary from the criticism they receive, for not being good enough, strong enough, or wealthy enough. They are weary from working long hours and short nights, and wondering if things will ever get better.

 Let the weary Dads come to You. They are burdened by the responsibilities they feel of protecting their children, providing for their children, and leading their children along the paths You want them to go.

Let Your weary followers come to You. Those who are weary of the search for peace. Those who are weary of the struggle for contentment. Those who are weary of the battle to be holy and pure. Those who are weary of coming up short. No matter how hard they try, they just can’t seem to get it all right. Those who are weary of being told they are not good enough, right enough, or spiritual enough to please God. Those who weary of going to church to connect with You only to leave feeling they have been beaten up and beaten down. Those who are weary of feeling like a failure and wonder if You could possibly love them.

Lord, thank you for Your invitation to the weary, the burdened, and the heavy-laden. Thank You for your offer to give us rest. Thank you for inviting us to come to You. May all who are weary and burdened come to You and find rest for their souls. As we close our prayer today, let us meditate on Isaiah 40:28-35

Have you never heard?

Have you never understood?

The Lord is the everlasting God,

the Creator of all the earth.

He never grows weak or weary.

No one can measure the depths of his understanding.

He gives power to the weak

and strength to the powerless.

Even youths will become weak and tired,

and young men will fall in exhaustion.

But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.

They will soar high on wings like eagles.

They will run and not grow weary.

They will walk and not faint.

Rest in our Savior Jesus Christ today for He tells us: For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.

That is a wrap for today’s Meditation, next week; we will continue our trek on Meditation Monday as we take time to reflect on what is most important in creating our living legacy. On tomorrow’s trek, we will explore another wisdom quote. This 3-minute wisdom supplement will assist you in becoming healthy, wealthy, and wise each day. Thank you for joining me on this trek called life.
