Interesting ideas with Stan Hustad

 Do you have anything to say about the mess were in. We most certainly are, the political social and economic relational wartime stuff that is going on is making for bad times.  Well what are we going to do about it?  Most of us can do nothing about it. But there are ways of creating a little bit of personal well-being and so we should find ways to do that whenever we can.

One of my good coaching clients has just decided that he's going to at least do a small part as he is getting his own YORS... Just like Walmart and a number of other smart businesses, places of worship, smart organizations, and social service and welfare and service groups.

They all need YORS.

You will learn some things here that might be helpful to you and it's only about 15 minutes.

 it's hard to believe how stupid and insensitive and sometimes just plain ignorant even those people who are influencers and should know better often are.

The news pundits and commentators suggested that Governor Kristi Noem from the state of South Dakota obviously should not be considered for being a vice presidential candidate or perhaps anything else because in her book she admitted that she shot her bad dog.

Well if you are old you probably remember one of the saddest of the Walt Disney films. You have to go back to the 50s and I remember the deep sadness of watching the film of a wonderful old dog that the family called Old Yeller

Of course the final scene is deeply disturbing and I actually went back and found it on YouTube and I was thinking about including it but probably better not.

But Kristi Noem needs no defense from anybody as she was illustrating one of the great truths not only of life on the ranch... But indeed life itself

We continue to seek to learn more about how we can not only live in a transforming world but perhaps be the instigators perhaps the guides, and the creators of transformation experiences they can benefit all of us.

In fact we might be living in the world where we have to do that in order to make it into the marketplace and survive and thrive. And could it be that the elements people want are really the same in their life, that what is important hasn't changed even though everything else seems to change.

And could it be that so-called AI might be something else and perhaps it's more transforming stages could even give us a touch of a better life and even a touch of immortality. This 20 minute TEDTalk type talk conversation may challenge you to be serious about exploring and living in the New World of the transformation economy.

Let's see what might happen to you.

 The trial of Donald Trump is becoming a legal farce ... And whether you like him or hate him, that's up to you but the way the trial is working is a perversion of justice. That's true whether you like to hear it or not.  And recently a pundit said he should just get up and walk away and not come back.

But then I segue into a conversation that I have as I make my way around the lake every day.  I see cockroaches and caterpillars. Which one should I step on and which one should I not.

Well let me tell you the obvious answer and why it has some very important applications to life in business for you right now today, and may be for a long time if you want to be successful and the leader in your life and business.

Indeed, caterpillars and cockroaches!

Join me in an interesting idea and an experiment. There are thousands of Rotary clubs around the world and they are all unique. With different stories and ways of helping to put service over self, above self.

As a new Rotarian but as a longtime international radio broadcaster I immediately wondered if there might be a way that every Rotary club could learn how to communicate with each other and with other clubs by creating their own radio podcasts. So this is an experiment to see if it might work and if others would like to experiment with us.

So I invited someone who's brave bold and willing, and Julia Cobley from Cary North Carolina is the pacesetter and this is our attempt to not only enjoy telling stories but sharing them with others so that indeed there could be, more hope in the world one shared story at a time.

 Good Monday to you. I hope you have plans for a better week than last week. I hope you are doing some things that will help you better understand the world, find some joy in the simple things and perhaps learn a few lessons about life and how we should live it

And today I have a bit of a sad story. And those numbers up on top or about my sad story. But like every story from tragedy to victory there often times is a lesson if we're smart enough and aware enough to learn it and to apply it to our life.

So may I tell you the story of my duck friends. And I would love to hear some of your stories about some of your animal friends.

Thanks

Stan

And here's the story. You will have bad times in your life. You may have many bad times in life. In fact you will have a lot of CRAP in your life and business. Well that's not the word that's the acronym for the kind of things you're going to experience in life from time to time.

How do you survive all of that is the question that will affect a great deal of your life and your destiny. Ironically you will discover that there are some very good things that can come out of a different kind of CRAP in your life and business.

What we hope to do in this brief little conversation is the introduce you to the bed stuff so that you can better recognize it and introduce you to the good stuff so that you can pursue it.

You will never see that word nor hear it again without thinking of something that might be helpful to you seek meaning and true success and maybe even become a transformed person running a trans formed business and living a transformed and incredible life. I think it's well worth the 15 minutes,

Yes you do, and DAD has nothing to do with fatherhood or being one... It is an activity that you have to pay attention to. It's something you need to do if you want to live well.

LivingWell is always hard to do because life is difficult and adversity is part of the plan and there will be a lot of pain in your life as well as a lot of joy and good things. But the good things have a better chance if you do DAD ...

Here's just a part of the story and a demonstration from the daily news of Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

 Welcome to a variety of interesting ideas and a virtual Potpourri of transformational questions thoughts and ways to possibly change your life or be changed by something else. 

.And as one wise piece of wisdom reminds us that a part of what we are all about is to bring new flavors in new colors into our life and into our world and in doing so we just might be the light of the world that helps change things and helps people to see and do and become new and better things

And then we conclude with a story about a powerful and accomplished young woman who claims that the two word signature statement by Donald Trump truly transformed her life.  Do you know what that signature statement was.

Do you have some signature statements of your own.  Maybe it's about time for you to come up with a few and we'll get you started on the road to seeing things that may lead to transformations.

We weren't really poor but sometimes we felt that way.  And of course those childhood things can very much influence who you are and how you become,

And so today a little self-confession and perhaps a description of some of the things I would like to change in life.  I am sure that some of you will very much resonate with my story and some of you will agree and join me in my profession confession.

Others will say, get over it Stan, who do you think you are and don't be so silly and old fashion.

But I hope you will at least listen to my story inconsiderate and perhaps do a little bit of a self-guided about you, your persona, your performance and the image that you communicate to others.  Because as I say in chapter 2 of my book on successful marketing, image is not everything but it is the first thing,

Dress for leadership!

Thanks
