THIS IS FOR YOU Welcome to the Transformation Zone Four Questions That Could Change Your Life and Business A What It Takes Radio / Transformation Zone Special
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
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? Image, Influence, and the Peculiar Power
of the Jesus Entrepreneur
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
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: TRANSFORMATION DAY A New Season, a New Zone—and Perhaps a New You
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
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...

THE PEOPLE IN THE RADIO And Why You May Need to Become One of Them
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
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,...

JESUS, THE CHILDREN—AND THE MILLSTONE The Warning We’d Rather Not Hear
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
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...

STOP WORRYING. START CREATING YOUR OWN ECONOMY. An Inconvenient Idea for an AI World That Is Changing Faster Than We Are
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
There is a whole lot of worrying, waiting and wondering going on. After taking something he rarely takes—a real vacation—Stan Hustad returned to Inconvenient Ideas with five days away from television, computers and the daily digital noise. The occasion was a significant wedding anniversary, celebrated with his wife, Karen, along the North Carolina coast. It also came after a difficult season marked by loss, uncertainty and reminders that life can change very quickly. Perhaps that is why a few days away produced something more valuable than rest: perspective. Stan returned not pretending...

Didn't Know Jesus Was That Smart!
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
Why Seeing Jesus Through the Eyes of an Entrepreneur Could Change Your Life, Business, and Calling This expanded feature article is designed for publication, distribution, teaching, and discussion within the Jesus Entrepreneur Collective. It explores one of the central ideas of the episode: many people know Jesus as a religious figure but have never seriously considered Him as an extraordinary communicator, leader, craftsman, entrepreneur, and builder of people. A Remark Worth Remembering During a business presentation, a young businessman approached Stan Hustad and said, 'I didn't know Jesus...

Two men about my age died last week. Can I tell you the story.docx
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
Two men about Stan's age died within days of one another. One was a lifelong friend. The other was his own brother. Their passing became more than heartbreaking news—it became a deeply personal reminder that every one of us is living on borrowed time. In this thoughtful and surprisingly hopeful episode of Inconvenient Ideas, Stan reflects on those losses and asks a question that most of us avoid: How do we become fully alive before our lives come to an end? Drawing on the wisdom of philosopher and theologian Howard Thurman, Stan explores the difference between merely paying the bills and...

MOM — Moment of Mortality
A Reflection for Radio and Transformation The death of Senator Lindsey Graham is a vivid reminder of what the Bible expresses so simply:
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
“You do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.” — James 4:14 By all public accounts, Senator Graham had returned from Ukraine, was planning to appear on television the next morning, had spoken with President Trump only hours before, and reportedly mentioned only that he was 'tired.' Within hours, he had died from what preliminary reports identify as an aortic dissection. That is what I have called a MOM — Moment of Mortality. The idea reaches far beyond a single event. MOM is a memorable acronym that...
info_outlineLet me tell you right now that this story is exactly 60 minutes. And it is well worth your time to spend part of your weekend to listen to her story of how she started with nothing and created a national business all on her own with a little help, and then figured out how to live a life of generosity and service to others.
And as she will tell you, she is no saint, but she is extraordinary and focused, and well coached and extremely resiliant and she learned how to be one of the 3% of the population who knows how to succeed in life.
And as a woman in a man's industry, how well and powerfully she overcame the barriers and broke the walls that were necessary for her to succeed in a very challenging and difficult industry.
She is wise and witty and fun to listen to, and you will learn a lot. I guarantee it.
