Random Thoughts. Real Time. Radical Truth. Why the Most Inconvenient Ideas Might Be the Ones That Change Your Life By Stan Hustad
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
There are days when everything feels planned, polished, and predictable. And then there are days like this one. This is one of those point-of-the-moment days—what I like to call POM thinking. No script. No delay. No filter. Just real-time reflection from the Coaching Zone, where ideas don’t always arrive neatly packaged… but they often arrive useful. Welcome to another adventure in Inconvenient Ideas—because let’s be honest: the ideas that help us most are often the ones that disrupt us first. Radio, Real Time, and the Power of Now One of the reasons I’ve spent a lifetime in...

You’re Missing the Most Important Hire in Your Business… And It’s Not Who You Think

Why Every Company Now Needs a Chief Broadcasting Officer (CBO) By Stan “The Radio Man” Hustad The What It Takes Radio Company presents another adventure… another expedition… and this one might just disrupt the way you think about your entire business. Let me start with a simple—but slightly inconvenient—idea: You are probably missing a very important person in your business today. And no… it’s not your CFO. Not your CMO. Not even your AI specialist. You need a CBO. A Chief Broadcasting Officer. AI is changing everything. But we’re not just entering a digital economy—we’re...

Big Sticks, Bigger Questions, and Your Superpower:
An Inconvenient Return to Realit
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
By Stan Hustad There are times in life when you step away for a bit—whether by design or by necessity—and when you return, you see things differently. That happened to me. After a stretch of what I’ll call “downtime, overtime, and out-of-time,” I’m back behind the microphone with a fresh installment of Inconvenient Ideas. And it felt only right to begin with a simple—but unsettling—question: What if everything we think we know… might be wrong? Now, that’s not a comfortable thought. But then again, the best ideas rarely are. The Power—and Problem—of Inconvenient...

Black, Bread, and Breakthroughs A Maundy Thursday Reflection on Wisdom, Risk, and Living Well in a Changing World
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
On a quiet and reflective Maundy Thursday—coinciding with the sacred rhythms of Passover—veteran broadcaster and coach Stan Hustad took a moment not to preach, but to think out loud. What emerged was less a formal message and more a seasoned conversation—part reflection, part reminder, part rallying cry for living wisely in a world shaped by rapid change, artificial intelligence, and ongoing global tension. Drawing from a piece of his own work rediscovered from several years ago, Stan revisited a simple but powerful question: What are the real skills—the “pro skills”—that...

Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
A deeper look at the overlooked days that reveal the heart of the story—and the choices we must make. Introduction We often move quickly from Palm Sunday to Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. But in doing so, we can miss something profoundly important. Holy Week is not just about the final events—it is about the unfolding decisions that lead to them. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are not empty days. They are the days where truth is declared, tension rises, and loyalties are revealed. Let’s step into those days together—and discover what they mean for us today. Holy...

Yes Dad, Just what the world needs... Another damn book on ___________ !
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
Greetings, ladies and gentlemen... friends... and yes, even the occasional foe or two. Let me begin with a confession—and a bit of an edge. Years ago, I floated an idea to my daughter. I said, “I think I might write another book... maybe a follow-up to my marketing book.” She paused. That’s always dangerous when an editor pauses. Then she said something I’ve never forgotten: “Dad... yes, you could write another book. It might even be better than most. But let me tell you something... Yes Dad .... Just what the world needs?... another damn book on marketing?! Don’t do that....

How to Become More Interesting in a Performance Economy An Inconvenient Idea That Might Just Change Your Life
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
Ladies and gentlemen, let me begin with a confession. For the past week, I’ve been dealing with something I call broadcaster’s block. Even those of us who talk for a living can sometimes struggle to find the words, the angle, the energy. And that got me thinking… What if the real issue isn’t just what we say—but how interesting we are when we say it? Because here’s the truth: We are now living in what I call a performance economy. And in this economy, it’s not enough to be good. You have to be interesting. The Problem: You Might Be Offering… But Not Engaging A friend of...

When the Lights Go Out in Tucson, What Do We See?
Inconvenient Ideas with Stan Hustad...the Radio Man
Some ideas don’t announce themselves with flashing lights. In fact, this one is about what happens when the lights aren’t there at all. This week on Inconvenient Ideas, I found myself talking about Tucson, Arizona — a place my wife Karen and I once called home for nearly sixteen years — and a current news story that stopped me cold. An elderly woman has gone missing in Tucson. She happens to be the mother of a very well-known broadcaster, which is why the story caught national attention. But what really caught my attention was something deeper, quieter, and frankly more unsettling....

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...
info_outlineThis is a special edition radio program. The world has now heard about the catastrophe that took place from the hurricane and flooding that has smashed into large areas of the state of North Carolina.
And the catastrophe continues and many people are still unaccounted for. As a member of the Rotary clubs I was able to make contact with a fellow Rotarian who is located in the city of Asheville. Her name is Lacy Hagan
Fortunately even though she's had a number of difficulties she is OK and doing fine and helping to rescue others and she had the ability to get through and we had a phone conversation in which she told us about what's going on and how difficult it is... And perhaps how we can be helpful.
The motto of Rotary is service above self and they have been trying to more than live up to that at the present time, and obviously they will continue for a long time. And Lacy gave me the sad words that in many situations they now have gone from attempt to rescue to recovery.
I invite you to listen to the 25 minutes and then of course pass this on to others and continue to pray for them all help for them all when you can and how you can and of course pray for the children.
