What if everything you thought you knew was wrong? Stan the radio man with Inconvenient Ideas

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 ...

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...

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. And this is especially important because I know that most of the news that we get on the news programs of the day is truly...

With some life lessons about communication and the power of point of the moment radio and television in today's world. Right now there are hundreds of programs and broadcast features about the passing of Pope Francis. And we note that and comment on some of the life lessons for the man who died the day after Easter. Probably just as he wanted. However many years ago the Pope then almost died in an assassination attempt in Saint Peter's square when a loan gunman tried to kill him. I was on worldwide radio that very day and it was a very challenging and interesting story and day and I learned a...

This whole day is full of life and business lessons about the state of our world not only 2000 some years ago but right now. Whether you are a believer or not, the lessons about group psychology, leadership, and how we live our lives with our hopes and fears and what we do when faced with difficult decisions, all come to bear and the stories and truths are told. And I am going to be so bold to suggest that there is something that we can learn that's very significant from what happened that day from the bad guy himself, Pontius Pilate ... This will challenge you in many ways, I guarantee it!...

Well that was not necessarily meant to catch your attention but I hope it did. We're not trying to be funny or put anybody off it's just that it is a significant and true story. There is a famous Jewish performer who had a period in his life in which he was an admirer of Jesus. Like any performer what you admire may influence your life and your business and your music and your art. Well that is the story and it's not only a good song it's a great lesson in life and business and if we don't understand it we will seldom find true success.

No this is not meant to be Clickbait. It's actually a pretty profound lesson from a very profound teacher and character. In fact another wise teacher and character of modern times says it's probably one of the most important lessons to learn in life. Well then it's worth 15 minutes of your time to join me in a conversation, and I know you will have one either as you talk back to me or perhaps talk to a friend or someone else about what we're talking about. This is challenging stuff but it might be just the stuff you need to make it in this world that is very tough, tough indeed, right now!

Could Everything You’ve Learned Be Wrong?

Why I’m Changing the Name—and What That Might Mean for You

Hi, I’m Stan—the Radio Man—and I’ve been hosting a podcast called Interesting Ideas. But here’s the big news: it’s time to change the name. And no, this isn’t just a branding decision. It’s something deeper. Something more personal. Something that might matter to you, too.

Let me tell you why.

A Personal Moment Sparks a Shift

Today is my daughter’s birthday. My youngest is turning 50. And as I reflect on that (with a bit of disbelief), I realize that life constantly changes—whether we’re ready or not.

Back when I was teaching high school history, I overheard one of my students tell a classmate, “It doesn’t matter what the course is—it’s always Husted.” That comment has stayed with me. It reminded me that no matter what label you slap on the work, if I’m involved, I bring a certain way of thinking, a certain voice, and a certain personality to the table. So when I change the name of this show, it’s not about erasing the past—it’s about aligning with the present.

Because I’ve changed. The world has changed. Maybe you have, too.

The Drucker Moment That Changed Everything

Years ago, I read a Forbes article featuring the legendary management consultant Peter Drucker. It was the October 1998 issue. The cover headline jolted me into a new awareness:

“Everything You’ve Learned About the New Economy Could Be Wrong.”

I kept that cover. Blew it up into a poster. Used it as a constant reminder in my coaching and consulting work. Why? Because that sentence hits hard. It dares us to consider that our cherished assumptions might no longer apply.

And in today’s world—where everything is accelerating—this kind of thinking is more vital than ever.

Why the Name Must Change

The name Interesting Ideas has served us well. But now, I’m searching for something more fitting. Maybe something like:

• Instigating Ideas
• Innovative Ideas
• Inconvenient Ideas
• Irritating Ideas
• Inspirational Ideas

I want a name that reflects not just curiosity, but courage. Because that’s what it takes to admit, “I was wrong.” It takes maturity to grow up, not just grow older. And if you’ve ever changed your mind, you know what I mean.

When we realize that what we used to know might no longer be true, we’re not falling apart—we’re waking up. And that’s where real wisdom begins.

What This Podcast Is Really About

Here’s how I see the journey:

• Ideas lead to
• Insight, which leads to
• Influence, which creates
• Impact, and if you're lucky,
• Income—not just financial, but relational, spiritual, and personal wealth.

We're entering what I call The Impact Zone. If you don’t make an impact today, you may already be invisible. And I believe we were made to leave an imprint—to leave behind more than we take.

Key Takeaways

• It’s okay to change your mind. Growth means rethinking what we thought we knew.

• Impact matters. In this fast-changing world, we must move from ideas to action.

• Names are not sacred. What matters is the substance, not the label.

• Humility is power. Saying, “I was wrong,” might be the wisest thing you’ll ever do.

• Wisdom is the goal. Not information, not even knowledge—but wisdom.

A Red Plate Day—and a Call to You

When our kids were young, we had a tradition: on birthdays or special occasions, we’d bring out a red plate that read, *This is your special day*. It was a way of saying, “You matter.” Today, as I honor my daughter’s milestone, I realize that this is my red plate day, too. And maybe yours.

So here’s my call to action:
• Rethink something you’ve always believed.
• Be willing to be wrong—so you can become wiser.
• Give me your thoughts on what this new name could be.
• And above all, aim to leave a legacy of impact, wisdom, and blessings.

Because as much as everything may change, one thing doesn’t: our calling to bless others at every turn.

Thanks for listening. Let’s continue the journey—under a new name, but with the same spirit.
Until next time… from whatever this show will soon be called.

Blessings always,
Stan the Radio Man
