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...

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...

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...
