Well maybe the Pope doesn't have to after all he is the Pope. But maybe he wants to. But he is a missionary just as I was a missionary and still am, and that means that we will do any media in any way we can to reach people with good news and good ideas and tell good stories. That's where I learned to do radio, as a missionary radio guy broadcasting all around the world. But the thing that turns me on right now is the fact that you don't have to be a big shot and have lots of money and stuff like that to be on the radio. You can be on the radio with your own program and even your own radio...

This is a bit of a reflection on the news, and maybe a bit of a radio rant... But not too mean or strong. When my wife decided that she wanted to subscribe to Netflix I was not that happy about it. But it's her deal, and it turned out to be a very good deal and I have to admit I've learned a lot just by watching many of the stories on Netflix... In fact I've learned a number of things about life and business that were truly news to me that was helpful and useful to me.

Walking on the Edge: Understanding Power, Leadership, and Deals in a Changing World

It’s Monday, and here we go again. Another week, another moment of reckoning with the realities of the world around us. I’m Stan, and today, I want to share a few thoughts about power, leadership, and how understanding these dynamics can help us navigate life and business more effectively.

Over the weekend, the headlines were dominated by a familiar name: Trump won again. Now, this is not a political statement—it’s an observation. Whether you support him or not, his approach to power, negotiation, and influence offers valuable lessons. He understands the art of the deal, the importance of perception, and the way power structures operate. And whether we like it or not, these are the forces that shape the world we live in.

The Power of Perception and Leadership

Jordan Peterson once said, stop dressing like a 10-year-old. His point? Dress like a man. Dress for leadership. Dress for power. The way we present ourselves affects how we are perceived and, ultimately, how we are treated.

Take Volodymyr Zelensky, for example. He presents himself as a man of the people, dressed in casual military gear. That’s fine when addressing soldiers or rallying the public. But when sitting at the negotiating table with world leaders, perception matters. Power players expect to see a suit, a symbol of authority and respect. The reality is, in high-stakes diplomacy, appearance is part of the game.

If you want to be taken seriously, you have to present yourself seriously. That’s not just about clothing—it’s about posture, language, confidence, and understanding the audience you are playing to. The boardroom, the political stage, and the business world all demand a level of strategic presence.

Understanding Power: A Key to Success

Power is neither inherently good nor bad. It is a tool. Those who understand it can use it for constructive purposes. Those who ignore it are often at its mercy.

Trump, for example, operates with a keen awareness of power dynamics. He sees every interaction as a negotiation, every situation as a deal to be made. Whether it’s foreign policy, business, or media presence, he leverages his influence strategically. And while his approach may not be universally admired, there’s no denying its effectiveness.

What’s the takeaway? Learn how power works. Understand the flow of influence in your workplace, in your industry, in your relationships. Develop your power IQ. Know when to compromise and when to stand firm. Recognize that confidence, perception, and strategic thinking are as important as raw talent.

Lessons from the World Stage

The events unfolding on the global stage are lessons in negotiation and leadership. Trump, whether intentionally or not, positioned himself as a peace broker in Ukraine, using his perceived strength to influence the situation. While Zelensky played to public sentiment, Trump played to the power dynamics at hand. In the end, those who understand power—how to project it, how to use it, how to navigate it—are the ones who shape outcomes.

This applies to our personal and professional lives as well. Whether you’re negotiating a business deal, navigating office politics, or simply trying to be more effective in your daily interactions, understanding power is key. And it starts with self-awareness, confidence, and strategic thinking.

Key Takeaways

  • Perception matters. Dress for leadership. Speak with authority. Command respect through presence and preparation.
  • Understand power dynamics. Know who holds influence in your environment and how decisions are made.
  • Negotiate strategically. Life is a series of deals—learn how to make them work in your favor.
  • Be adaptable. Different situations require different approaches. Recognize what the moment calls for and adjust accordingly.
  • Seek wisdom. Power alone isn’t enough—use it wisely and ethically to create positive outcomes.

Moving Forward: Walking with Purpose

Life is about navigating challenges with wisdom and courage. As you step into your week, carry yourself with confidence. Be aware of the dynamics at play in your world, and position yourself to lead, not just follow.

And remember, as I often say—this is the way the world works. It doesn’t mean everything is fair or good, but understanding it gives you the ability to navigate it effectively. Seek wisdom, speak truth, and walk with purpose.

You are walking on the edge—so walk tall.

Until next time, all the best and blessings to you.
