Interesting Ideas in Our Changing World - with Stan Hustad - What it Takes Radio

 Yes as I said yesterday books and movies and radio they're all being squeezed out by new ways in new technologies.  So what are you going to do with all of the new ideas and technologies?  Are you an early adopter or are you one of those or cautious souls who wait to the last moment and are very late adopters.   Well of course most of us are somewhere in the middle, but we need to have a view a guide post to evaluating new technologies and new strategies and unfortunately most of us do not have the ability to do that as well as we like, and that is why we need to...

Well the purpose of this little program is to help you better understand what's going on in Life in business right now. As one famous business consultant always asked, "What's up Doc" The business media world is changing and it is true that it's hard to buy a real radio anymore just look it up. And many people are not buying books anymore or reading books anymore. That's just true! And those people who often try to take in a movie every week seldom do that anymore and the theater business is struggling in many parts of the country. And have you noticed as I remember that in the mall of America...

Interesting Ideas in Our Changing World - with Stan Hustad - What it Takes Radio

 Many years ago when I was training to be in radio my wise old mentor said to me, "Mr. Hustad if you're fortunate enough to make it in radio you will never be allowed to celebrate a holiday ever again."  And in so many ways that was true. Maybe it still is because I felt led to fire up the microphone and tell you a story about a film that I saw yesterday which touched me deeply, I think it's a film you should see even though I had never even seen it or heard of it before yesterday when I stumbled across it on Netflix.  And I got lots of emails from people trying to sell me...

 Well those are some of the thoughts and radio ramblings that I'm having with very many mixed feelings on this Memorial Day weekend in the United States... There are so many stories and memories associated with this holiday, and in many ways what could and should be a holy day. And I remember the mentor who told me that there's something wrong with everything and nothing works all the time and that is led to the Hustad formula of the three "C's"  ... Cracks, Crap, Creativity And finally since you're fortunate enough to be alive why don't you take the challenge to be full of it......

 Well that's what this program is all about and I throw in some other stuff that I think will make you laugh maybe make you smile, and maybe just tick you off a bit but that's OK.  And as I recounted the stories from the past and from the present it finally hit me.   There's a good chance when the Jesus entrepreneur started his enterprise he had to go about and choose people who we thought would be helpful and useful and powerful enough and strong enough to build a whole new world franchise.   And of course he chose some rather interesting characters to say the...

 What did you learn over the weekend that will be new and useful to you.  Since I've been involved in radio and teaching and in business performance coaching for many many years I've just gotten into the habit of always looking for new ideas.  And this weekend I heard some things that might be useful to you too. First of all let me challenge you with another AI robot thought for your career and future plan.  What skill do you have that a robot cannot do.  And now the challenge is that the smarter you are in the more you are involved in thinking and messaging and...

 Here we go let's lighten up after a hard week and thank goodness it's Friday.  I once made people change their names for an exercise in a leadership workshop.  Let me tell you the story about that. And let me ask you, how did you get your name and do you like your name?  How and why did you name your children and do they like their name?  By the way have you ever thought about changing your name and if you did what would you change it to?  You see naming is very important and often today it is defining and you must be in the business of protecting your name and...

I don't like being lied to. But from time to time even though I don't like lying I do a little bit of lying.  And probably so do you. But indeed some lies are really bad and we all were lied to really bad and a lot of people were hurt by the lies. Those are really bad people. So let me talk about that briefly today and then suggest some ways that you can start to be unique and creative in the world that is truly messed up and full of liars. And that does not have to be you and no need for you to be so because the truth about you is better than any of the lies about you.  This is 18...

 During the weekend we took time to watch the latest Tom Hanks film called OTTO.  Of course Hanks is a great actor and he chooses only good shows to be in.  This was a touching film a bit of a tearjerker and for the most part I would recommend it. However today Tom Hanks made the news by saying that AI is getting so good that he can make movies after he is dead.  You know what, he's probably right. And with a little help I can even be making radio programs after I'm dead.   So let me tell you the story of how that can be and why you need to have lots of practice...

Interesting Ideas in Our Changing World - with Stan Hustad - What it Takes Radio

Part of my problem in life is I am quite old-fashioned and old school and as a result I am often way in the past and out of touch with what is going on now. But I have another problem is that I often have many ideas and things that I put together and create that are too far out there and there's no interest in it yet. My ideas and I am out there in the future but nobody else is out there with me. And a number of years ago I got in trouble because I suggested to some significant people in some organizations that they might wanna go a little bit easy on this Mother's Day and this Father's Day...

 I think most of us take ourselves too seriously. And there's a difference between taking your work seriously and taking yourself too seriously.

That is particularly true in the work that I do. From time to time years ago a frightened young intern would come to me and confessed they had messed something up for a radio program and they were here to ask for forgiveness.

Usually that was no problem though I made it a point to try and ask them to think and do some remedial work to try and avoid that from happening again. I would then share with a smile  ... That they were not the first person to make that mistake in the industry and they won't be the last. And then sometimes I would add, and remember it's only a radio program.

I felt I had worked hard and put in a good solid 15 minutes of news, some views, a touch of entertainment and some wisdom insight and truth that might be helpful about making an impact in the world.  

But I also know that in this business like in almost every business, timing is vital and just as I was posting the program we got news of the terrible shooting in Nashville. And obviously that was and should dominate the news and hopefully no views of why it happened or how it happened, at least for a while.  

You see  in the midst of that I am not going to increase the amount of perhaps useless noise by putting my radio program right smack dab in the middle of the conversation.  And so I did not,but now I'd like to talk about how important it might be to learn how to makean impact for good in this obviously broken and very sad world,
