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...

Why Every Company Now Needs a Chief Broadcasting Officer (CBO) By Stan “The Radio Man” Hustad The What It Takes Radio Company presents another adventure… another expedition… and this one might just disrupt the way you think about your entire business. Let me start with a simple—but slightly inconvenient—idea: You are probably missing a very important person in your business today. And no… it’s not your CFO. Not your CMO. Not even your AI specialist. You need a CBO. A Chief Broadcasting Officer. AI is changing everything. But we’re not just entering a digital economy—we’re...

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...

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...

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....

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...

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....

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.

A deeper look at the overlooked days that reveal the heart of the story—and the choices we must make.

Introduction

We often move quickly from Palm Sunday to Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. But in doing so, we can miss something profoundly important.

Holy Week is not just about the final events—it is about the unfolding decisions that lead to them.

Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are not empty days. They are the days where truth is declared, tension rises, and loyalties are revealed.

Let’s step into those days together—and discover what they mean for us today.

Holy Monday — Confrontation and Cleansing

On Monday, Jesus returns to Jerusalem and immediately confronts what is broken.

He enters the Temple and drives out the money changers, declaring that God’s house is meant to be a place of prayer, not profit.

Then, in a symbolic act, He curses a fig tree—an image of outward life with no inward fruit.

This is a day of spiritual clarity.

It asks us a powerful question:
What needs to be cleansed in our lives?

Monday is about honesty, courage, and the willingness to deal with what is not right.

Holy Tuesday — Teaching, Truth, and Urgency

Tuesday is one of the most intense days of Jesus’ public ministry.

He teaches openly in the Temple, engages with religious leaders, and delivers some of His most important parables—calling people to readiness, responsibility, and faithfulness.

He also speaks about the future, urging watchfulness and awareness.

This is a day of truth.

Tuesday asks:
Are we listening?

It reminds us that truth is not just to be heard—it is to be lived.

Holy Wednesday — The Silent Day

Wednesday is often quiet in the Gospel accounts—but beneath the surface, everything is shifting.

Plans are being made. Betrayal is being arranged. Judas agrees to hand Jesus over.

At the same time, a woman pours out expensive perfume in an act of devotion and love.

This day holds a profound contrast:
Devotion and betrayal.
Love and calculation.

Wednesday asks:
Where do I stand?

It is a day of decision—often made in silence.

Putting It All Together

The flow of these days tells a powerful story:

Monday: Clean house 
Tuesday: Clarify truth 
Wednesday: Choose your allegiance 

By the time Thursday arrives, the direction has already been set.

Holy Week is not just history—it is a mirror.

Things to Remember

• God is not interested in appearances—He desires authenticity. 
• Truth, once heard, carries responsibility. 
• Quiet decisions often shape our greatest outcomes. 
• The most important choices are often made before the spotlight appears.

Things to Share

• Share the idea that Holy Week includes meaningful “hidden days.” 
• Encourage others to reflect on what Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday represent. 
• Invite conversation about what needs to change, grow, or be decided. 
• Remind others that faith is lived in daily decisions—not just big moments.

Things to Act On

• Take time to “clean house” in one area of your life. 
• Revisit a truth you know—but may not be fully living. 
• Make one clear decision about who you are and what you stand for. 
• Choose devotion over distraction, clarity over compromise.

Closing Call to Action

This Holy Week, don’t rush to the ending.

Live the middle.

Because Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are where the real work happens.

If you’re serious about building a life—and a business—that matters, start here.

Clean house. Speak truth. Make your choice.

And if you’re looking for someone to walk alongside you in that journey, I would be honored to help.

This is what we do at The Jesus Entrepreneur Experience and The Christian Entrepreneur Network.

Let’s build something that lasts.
