Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
A TRUTH DISCOVERED IS BEST OF ALL An Inconvenient Idea from Stan Hustad In this episode of Inconvenient Ideas, I explore a lesson that has stayed with me for years: telling someone the truth may not be the best way to help them hear it. I believe in telling the truth. But I’ve also learned that a truth told is good—and seldom heard. A truth revealed may have greater effect. But a truth discovered is best of all. When people discover something for themselves, it becomes theirs. They can say, “Now I know. I found that out to be true.” And a truth imposed? For the person on the receiving...

After a working vacation in Arizona, Stan Hustad returned to the microphone with an unexpected reflection: sometimes the most useful thing a communicator, leader, or entrepreneur can do is pause. In this Jesus Entrepreneur Collective program, Stan considers a practice Jesus himself often made room for: withdrawing from the noise and activity to find a quiet place. Drawing on Scripture and wisdom from a century-old spiritual book, he explores the possibility that stillness is more than a break from work. It can help people listen, regain perspective, and draw on the spiritual strength they need...

A two-word command can change the way a person leads, works, and lives: “Don’t fret.” In this edition of the Jesus Entrepreneur podcast, broadcaster and performance coach Stan Hustad explores an old-fashioned word with urgent meaning for a worried world. His challenge is simple: anxiety may feel like responsible thinking, but unchecked fretting can slowly rob people of their courage, energy, dreams, and willingness to act. Drawing on Psalm 37, which repeatedly urges readers not to fret, Hustad asks listeners to consider the heavy invisible load they may be carrying: worry, stress, fear,...

The storm is coming. In this timely edition of Inconvenient Ideas, veteran broadcaster and business performance coach Stan Hustad uses an approaching coastal storm as a living metaphor for the forces already gathering around individuals, leaders, businesses, and institutions. His message is neither an invitation to panic nor a promise of easy escape. It is a call to prepare: to become spiritually grounded, emotionally resilient, technologically capable, and creatively ready for a world in which yesterday's methods may no longer be enough. The episode moves from the Jewish holy days to the...

Artificial intelligence may be changing the world, but Stan Hustad believes the most important question is far more personal: What will it change in you, and what will you choose to do with it? In this timely edition from the What It Takes Radio Company, Stan the Radio Man steps into the controversy surrounding artificial intelligence with curiosity, humor, faith, and a broadcaster's instinct for asking the question beneath the headlines. Will AI improve human performance or diminish human purpose? Will it expand creativity or encourage intellectual laziness? Will it help people serve their...

September 1 was Transformation Day. September 3 may be even more important. Because declaring a day is relatively easy. Living a transformed life is something else entirely. In this special edition of What It Takes Radio, broadcaster, coach and entrepreneur Stan Hustad follows the first annual Transformation Day with a very personal invitation: THIS IS FOR YOU. It is an invitation to enter what Hustad calls The Transformation Zone — a growing community and conversation for people who are no longer satisfied merely making things a little better. They want to become different. And perhaps help...

What Does Jesus Look Like? Dolly Parton understood something that every entrepreneur, broadcaster, leader, and communicator eventually learns: Image is not everything—but it is the first thing. In this timely and thought-provoking edition of the Jesus Entrepreneur Collective, Stan Hustad—“Stan the Radio Man”—begins with the passing of one of America’s most recognizable performers, entrepreneurs, and generous public figures. Dolly Parton died on August 25, 2026, at the age of 80. The media response was immediate and enormous. Her passing became one of those major stories that, in...

September 1 has a new designation. At least it does if Stan Hustad has anything to say about it. The longtime broadcaster, teacher, business performance coach—and increasingly self-described “Transformation Man”—has decided that September 1 should become Transformation Day. Call it T-Day. Not an official government holiday. No banks will close. The mail will probably still arrive. And nobody is required to buy a greeting card. But perhaps it is a day worth taking seriously. In this special edition of What It Takes Radio and The Transformation Zone, Stan makes the case that September 1...

There was a time when a very young Stan Hustad climbed onto the kitchen counter and peered behind the family radio. His mother asked what he was doing. He was looking for the people in the radio. He could hear their voices. Surely they had to be in there somewhere. Decades later, Hustad became one of them. That childhood story opens this edition of Inconvenient Ideas, but the program is not really about nostalgia. It is about the future - and an inconvenient proposition: In an AI world, perhaps more people need to learn how to be "radio people." Not necessarily professional broadcasters,...

A Jesus Entrepreneur Collective Commentary with Stan Hustad There is a version of Jesus that almost everybody can live with. Gentle Jesus. Welcoming Jesus. Compassionate Jesus. Jesus with the children gathered around him. Jesus healing the sick, feeding the hungry, forgiving sinners and telling frightened people not to be afraid. That Jesus is real. But he is not the whole Jesus. And in this challenging edition of the Jesus Entrepreneur Collective, Stan Hustad asks his audience to confront another side of Jesus—the strong, courageous, sometimes confrontational Jesus who was willing to...
info_outlineYes we made it to Friday and Friday is future day in which case if you are a leader you can listen, or if you want to be a leader you can listen, but if not don't listen. And we will start with a little bit of fun by asking how do the geese know who gets to go first and who gets to lead.
And then a little cowboy wisdom about the difference between humans and animals that might surprise you. It seems that in many cases animals are smarter than us. And then I confess, a bit of a rant about the state of leadership in our world today...
And then a bit of a challenge to say that to be a good leader you need to learn how to be a good sleeper. And hopefully in the new year will be able to help you do just a little bit better at that. Just 20 minutes to stir your mind and maybe give you some good ideas.
