Would Jesus Use AI? Faith, Technology, and the Future of Meaningful Work
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
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...

Seven Words to Think About During the Storm
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
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...

If Jesus were in the IDF today... What kind of soldier or man do you think he would be?
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
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...

More Than a Name: The Title of the Man and the Faith Behind Dr. King’s Legacy
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
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....

Why are the Democrats and the ICEers trying to get Donald Trump and his team elected and have more power
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
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,...

Six Dollars for a Newspaper
(An Inconvenient Idea Worth Thinking About)
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
What kind of person pays six dollars for a newspaper in 2026? Apparently, I do. In this short episode of Inconvenient Ideas, I tell a simple story that turns out not to be simple at all—from being a 12-year-old paperboy delivering six days of news for 35 cents, to standing in a store today holding a weekend paper that costs more than I used to make in a week. Along the way, we talk about old-school radio, standing up to do a broadcast, dressing for the job even when no one can see you, and why some things that feel inconvenient—like slowing down, paying attention, or holding real paper in...

A lot of people are destroying their destiny these days. Please be different!
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
This is a radio program that also happens to have the studio camera on. But it's a radio show and it is about an inconvenient idea... And that's about my concern that a number of friends and others are not being careful about how they are living right now and they are in effect possibly destroying their destiny, perhaps not doing what they were truly made for and what would give them some deep gladness, ... Maybe more later. Most people don’t wake up in the morning planning to ruin their future. And yet, according to this brief but pointed episode from the Inconvenient Ideas series, that may...

When “Minnesota Nice” Gives Way to "Minnesota Vice" and Hard Questions;
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
Reflections on Culture, Power, and the Cost of Ignoring Inconvenient Ideas In this edition of Inconvenient Ideas, veteran broadcaster and performance coach Stan Hustad draws on decades of lived experience in Minnesota to explore a troubling question: How did a state long known for “Minnesota Nice” find itself at the center of one of the largest fraud scandals in recent American history? This is not a political rant, nor is it a partisan argument. Instead, Hustad offers a reflective, sometimes uncomfortable examination of how cultural drift, failed assimilation, technological dominance, and...

Here is the story and the question that can help you save a lot of time make you more efficient and effective and perhaps make you more money in 2026
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
On the first day of 2026, The What It Takes Radio Company opens the year with a simple, thoughtful, and surprisingly powerful eight-minute radio and television program designed to help listeners pause, reflect, and begin the year with intention. Hosted by Stan Hustad, the program does not offer a list of resolutions or predictions. Instead, it centers on one clarifying question—drawn from history, philosophy, and practical coaching—that has the potential to save time, sharpen focus, strengthen relationships, and improve effectiveness in life and work throughout the year ahead. A Question...

Too Real to Be Fake, Too Fake to Be Real: Stan Hustad’s Inconvenient Ideas for a New Media World
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
On the first day of December, while many people are still digesting Thanksgiving leftovers and arguing about when it’s “socially acceptable” to play Christmas music, broadcaster and performance coach Stan Hustad steps up to the microphone with something more than seasonal sentiment. In his new Monday series, Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad, he invites listeners into a world where what we see, hear, and even believe may be—quite literally—too real to be fake and too fake to be real. Stan begins with a memory from his days hosting the early morning show “Morning Sound” on a...
info_outlineFor many people the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving is going to be very difficult and very bad and so I am praying for those people who are suffering tonight. I will tell you why and so please be careful.
This is one of the best holidays of the year for me and it's not especially about the food feast or about the football or about the following Black Friday. This holiday is about being thankful to God and remember that a thankful and grateful heart is seldom a fearful heart.
And often my interesting ideas are of course ideas that I learned from others from profoundly wise and wonderful and interesting people. Today I'm going to talk about the power of gratitude to change your life but I will givr deep thanks and thankfulness to Pastor Richard Rohr and to an indigenous guide by the name of Doug Good Feather.
And I try to avoid hype and sometimes that's hard when you're such a strong believer and you have such an intense personality like me. But I truly believe that for some people some of the simple words that I've borrowed and ideas that are not only interesting but transforming that I receive from others, can for a few people significantly change their lives right here right now and maybe forever.
Best and blessings and more power to you!
Stan
