When telling someone the truth might not be the best idea!... Let me tell you a story!
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...

The Hidden Power of Stillness Be Seated Be Still Be Quiet
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
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...

DON’T FRET! When Worry Becomes the Enemy of Your Calling....Fretting is Fatal
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
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.

The episode moves from the Jewish holy days to the...

Will Artificial Intelligence Transform You or Will You Transform What It Can Do...Stan Hustad on AI Human Performance Transforming Wisdom and Creating Work That Outlives Us
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
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...

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...
info_outlineDo any of you know where the term black Friday came from... Well let me tell you it's not about doing good things for you... It's all about doing good things for them. But if you're smart and aware and seeking to live not just a better life but one that is different in ways that might surprise you and make life better for you.
If every Friday you will think about joining the transformation zone we can help you be more focused every Friday I'm having a better weekend and living through the week each day in such a way that you make it a time of personal power and perhaps greater wisdom and wealth.
Maybe you could start that today!
