Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
A deeper look at the overlooked days that reveal the heart of the story—and the choices we must make. Introduction We often move quickly from Palm Sunday to Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. But in doing so, we can miss something profoundly important. Holy Week is not just about the final events—it is about the unfolding decisions that lead to them. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are not empty days. They are the days where truth is declared, tension rises, and loyalties are revealed. Let’s step into those days together—and discover what they mean for us today. Holy...

Greetings, ladies and gentlemen... friends... and yes, even the occasional foe or two. Let me begin with a confession—and a bit of an edge. Years ago, I floated an idea to my daughter. I said, “I think I might write another book... maybe a follow-up to my marketing book.” She paused. That’s always dangerous when an editor pauses. Then she said something I’ve never forgotten: “Dad... yes, you could write another book. It might even be better than most. But let me tell you something... Yes Dad .... Just what the world needs?... another damn book on marketing?! Don’t do that....

Ladies and gentlemen, let me begin with a confession. For the past week, I’ve been dealing with something I call broadcaster’s block. Even those of us who talk for a living can sometimes struggle to find the words, the angle, the energy. And that got me thinking… What if the real issue isn’t just what we say—but how interesting we are when we say it? Because here’s the truth: We are now living in what I call a performance economy. And in this economy, it’s not enough to be good. You have to be interesting. The Problem: You Might Be Offering… But Not Engaging A friend of...

Here we go, the What It Takes Radio Company presents Stan, that's me, and why don't you have a professional broadcaster in your business? Today, every business needs to consider that a professional broadcaster may be vital to your marketing and business success. May I tell you my story? Greetings once again ladies and gentlemen, this is Stan, Stan the Radioman. Now people say, but just radio? Let me tell you, radio means everything in terms of electronic communication. Radio, video, whatever you call it, it is all radio. It is electronic radiation that goes into the air or goes through the...

Some ideas don’t announce themselves with flashing lights. In fact, this one is about what happens when the lights aren’t there at all. This week on Inconvenient Ideas, I found myself talking about Tucson, Arizona — a place my wife Karen and I once called home for nearly sixteen years — and a current news story that stopped me cold. An elderly woman has gone missing in Tucson. She happens to be the mother of a very well-known broadcaster, which is why the story caught national attention. But what really caught my attention was something deeper, quieter, and frankly more unsettling....

Just for fun this a 3rd person article but written by me In a world racing toward artificial intelligence, automation, and unprecedented technological power, a provocative question is quietly unsettling leaders, entrepreneurs, and everyday workers alike: If Jesus were here today, would He use AI in his work and business? That question sits at the heart of a recent episode of The Jesus Entrepreneur Experience, a weekly exploration that looks at the life and leadership of Jesus not only as a spiritual figure — but as a model for meaningful, mission-driven entrepreneurship. Hosted by veteran...

The storm is coming. You can feel it—not just outside, but everywhere. Schools closing. Churches canceling. Flights disappearing from the board like magic tricks gone wrong. We’re all being gently (or not so gently) told: stay home, stay put, stay warm. Which is exactly what I’m doing—sitting in my little radio studio, which also happens to be a television studio, a video studio, and a worldwide broadcasting station. No tower. No transmitter building. No million-dollar equipment. Just a good microphone, a decent camera, an internet connection, and a lifetime spent loving radio. I...

In a culture crowded with slogans, outrage, and instant opinions, a recent radio program in The Jesus Entrepreneur Experience does something surprisingly rare: it asks people to stop, imagine, and think. The program poses a single, provocative question—not to shock or inflame, but to awaken reflection: If Jesus were here today—now, in our time and place—and if He were a young man living in Israel, what kind of man would He be if required to serve in the Israeli Defense Forces? The result is a thoughtful, TED-Talk-length exploration that bridges history, faith, entrepreneurship, and...

In this special birthday-commemoration edition of Inconvenient Ideas, broadcaster Stan Hustad invites listeners to pause, reconsider, and remember something easily overlooked in the story of one of America’s greatest heroes: the full and formative identity of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The program opens with a light, affectionate nod to radio history and the marvel of modern podcasting—how a single voice can now circle the globe without towers, transmitters, or billion-dollar budgets. From there, the focus turns to the meaning of this national holiday and to the man it honors....

Protest Backfires: The Inconvenient Politics of Noise, Power, and Human Nature In this episode of Inconvenient Ideas, veteran broadcaster Stan Hustad poses a question that at first sounds almost absurd—and then increasingly unavoidable: Why do the loudest opponents of Donald Trump and ICE often end up strengthening the very people they oppose? It’s a question rooted not in partisan rhetoric, but in something deeper and far more uncomfortable: human behavior, perception, and unintended consequences. A Radio Man Sounds the Alarm Drawing on more than four decades in broadcasting,...
info_outlineYes, Think Yiddish and Dress British. That's what a dear friend and former client used to say to me and there's a great story and a great truth behind that statement. And so since it's somewhat goes along with the story of the day which was the queens funeral I would like your permission to tell it to you today ... And then as one of those persons whose mind goes in incredibly random ways I think I can connect it to the event of the day which is the funeral service of Queen Elizabeth II.
Most of you saw it in some way or at least some excerpts from it, and maybe you were like me, I always try to learn something from everything I see read, do and experience. There's something to learn in everything. And often they are interesting ideas.
So if you'll give me 20 minutes on this Monday evening, please relax and let me tell you a few of my stories. And then you respond by telling me some of yours. OK?
