The world is full of people right now trying to tell you that they have the secret to success. I'm not one of them. No matter how good an idea you might have to remember that nothing works all the time and there's something wrong with everything. But for your thought and consideration let me speakand seek to explain what I have learned about what I call Zone-Based lLving and how being in the right zone in the right time will be very helpful to you as you deal with what is a rather rugged and challenging way of life right now in which most people are quite tired and don't know what to do.

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...

Well it really is the summer season now here in North America. And I am going to start the summer by having a burning bush birthday and I'm gonna turn that into a burning bush summer. No I don't plan to burn anything down but this is a metaphor for a very powerful principle that could guide our life if we fully understood it and acted upon it. And I'm going to try to do that. With your permission may I take just 13 minutes to tell you what that all means to me and how it might be helpful to both of us and then may I inspire you to make this a very special summer for you too. Maybe it's...

Two journalists have written a book that is making them millions of dollars called Original Sin... And they claim that former President Joe Biden was the sinner. What do you think about that and what is going on, and I would love to hear your opinion. But could it be that once again that everything we thought we knew might be wrong and should we continue to have that curiosity part of our life always intact. Well give me just 14 minutes and see if we can become a little bit braver bolder and smarter and learn from the people who are not! And then the robot wanted to add something to the story ...

I tell stories. That's what I do. And today I want to tell you some stories about Memorial Day, and being on the radio, and how old time towns celebrated Memorial Day many years ago. And then I want to tell you about my friend Brennan... He is the one that the title of the program is all about. So please take about 15 minutes to be inspired, and perhaps challenged, and perhaps be thankful for those who are not here, but because they're not, you are here! Then please take some time to tell me your Memorial Day memory and perhaps your transformation story. And now here is what Stosh has to say...

And here is what STOSH the robot has to say Could...

"Behold the Man: A Good Friday Reflection on Truth, Power, and Pilate"
First-Person Summary and Review:
On this Good Friday, I took to the airwaves once again—not to preach, but to provoke. Not with controversy, but with curiosity. You see, I asked a question that might seem odd on this sacred day: Can we learn something from Pontius Pilate? The man who washed his hands, yet left a mark on all of history.
This broadcast wasn't a sermon—it was a reflection. A conversation. An invitation to step into the Transformation Zone and ask yourself what you believe is true—not just in religion, but in life, leadership, and legacy. Because Pilate, in a moment of human weakness or accidental brilliance, gave us two of the most powerful phrases in all of human history:
“What is truth?”
“Behold the man.”
Think about it. On one of the darkest days ever recorded, amid power struggles and political games, Jesus stood silent before the empire. And that silence spoke louder than any defense. Pilate saw something in him—something unshakable. Strength. Clarity. Conviction. A man who knew the truth.
And whether you believe Jesus was a prophet, a revolutionary, the Son of God—or even if you believe none of it at all—this story remains one of the most studied, debated, and inspiring dramas of all time. It teaches us about fear, courage, responsibility, and that moment when someone asks you to make a choice… and you know it matters.
Takeaways – To Remember, Reflect, and Share:
🔹 “What is truth?” – Still the defining question of our age. Ask it with boldness, live it with courage.
🔹 “Behold the man.” – A phrase echoing through history. The man who changed the world with character, not force.
🔹 Silence can be strength. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can say is nothing.
🔹 Leadership means making the hard decisions. Pilate gave in to pressure—how often do we?
🔹 Every Good Friday invites transformation. Even if you've heard the story a hundred times—maybe this is the year it changes you.
🔹 Who do you follow? The crowds? The system? Or the one who stood, unshaken, for something higher?
🔹 Don’t just believe—belong. Decide where your allegiance lies and who’s truly “on your side.”
Closing Thoughts – A Challenge and a Blessing:
This Good Friday, don’t let the moment pass like any other. Let it disturb you. Inspire you. Push you. Let it provoke you to ask: What is true? And who is this man?—this man who was sentenced by the empire but embraced by eternity.
Let this weekend be more than ritual. Let it be a reset. In your life. In your business. In your soul.
And maybe—just maybe—this won’t be a regular Easter.
Maybe this is the year the story becomes your story.
Behold the man. And become who you were meant to be.
Best and blessings,
Stan
