His latest episode of Inconvenient Ideas begins, as always, not with politics, but with a principle: “Donald Trump is still the king.” Not, Stan clarifies, the king of America—but the king of the ratings.

Please give me seven minutes to introduce you to a remarkable idea and to a remarkable entrepreneur who through many years of entrepreneurial living and coaching others in the ways to financial success can now help you discover some of the secrets of true success and powerful living.

And now I asked STOSH the robot to do a complementary comment section on the program and this is what he came up with

Where Service Meets Success: The Power of Living Generously
A Personal Invitation from Stan Hostad

Greetings friends,

My name is Stan Hustad, and I’d like to personally share with you a remarkable new venture that is bold, beautiful, and—most importantly—needed. I’ve spent years as a business performance coach and international broadcaster, but recently I’ve had the privilege of joining something that touches both the heart and the mind. It’s a new service and learning initiative called SteveLear.org, inspired by the life and mission of my friend, Steve Lear.

Steve is a financial entrepreneur and activist, but more than that, he is a man deeply committed to the practice of generosity. Not as a charitable sideline, but as a powerful way of life. This isn’t a church or a school. It’s not a tech company. And yet, it feels like a blend of all three—carrying the wisdom of spiritual traditions, the curiosity of education, and the agility of modern innovation.

So what exactly is SteveLear.org? It’s a new kind of organization for a new kind of world. It exists to serve those asking life’s most urgent questions—about purpose, calling, and what it truly means to live well.

Three Core Pathways

Let me briefly outline three foundational areas where this organization is making a difference:

1. Career & Business Development

Whether you're just starting out or starting over, we help people find their strengths, sharpen their instincts, and develop real business and life skills. We believe in helping you create not just a living, but a life that matters. Think of it as entrepreneurial thinking—with a soul.

2. Leadership That Serves

True leadership isn’t about ego or titles. It’s about service, humility, and listening well. SteveLear.org promotes a model of leadership that’s people-focused and value-driven. We’re not trying to build stars—we’re trying to build communities that care.

3. The Power of Generosity

This is the secret sauce. Generosity isn’t just a feel-good concept—it’s a superpower. By giving your time, your wisdom, your resources, you don’t lose—you grow. And so does everyone around you. Generosity multiplies impact.

Key Takeaways

Here are a few thoughts to carry with you:

• Life is not a waiting game—it’s a building project.

• Leadership is not a position—it’s a practice of service.

• You don’t need to have much to give much.

• Creating your own career path isn’t selfish—it may be sacred.

• A generous spirit can transform your business, your life, and even your destiny.

A Final Thought—And a Call to Action

Maybe you are the one. The one who lights the spark, who starts the good movement, who shows others a new way of living and giving. You don’t need permission to begin—but you do need a path.

That’s what we’re offering at SteveLear.org. Not a formula. A friendship. A journey.

If you’re tired of waiting for change—and maybe ready to be the change—then I invite you:
Join us. Learn. Serve. Give. Grow.

Welcome to where service meets success.

With gratitude,
Stan Hustad
