Interesting ideas with Stan Hustad

Some of you know I have not been a Super Bowl follower person in fact I've kind of pointed out that there's nothing really very super about it at all.  So when it comes to the Super Bowl I'm a bit of a curmudgeon and may be a little bit of a skeptic and cynic... Remember it's just a football game.  And there are a lot of things going on that are really important and matters of life and death.

But now that it is over I really can ask the question because it's a important question for me and perhaps for you too.  Did anyone really win the game, was it was a great game, or did we see an example of amazing Grace, a touch of good fortune, or were the winners just lucky.

And there's some hard life lessons there.  So if we want to be thinking and kind and perhaps compassionate human beings in a world where we reward winners and praise their performance, and for those not so successful, we often have other ways of describing them.  You know, they lost, they're broke, they didn't have what it takes.

Maybe we can learn something from a Super Bowl game that was not well played at all!

Of course that's what everybody is talking about all throughout this coming Super Bowl weekend is that the President of the United States has committed illegal acts and activities, but nothing is going to happen to him!

So what do we do now! With your permission we need to get emotionally unconnected to the mess in our world and perhaps seek ways for us to make away in our world in which we become one of the chosen few who know what they need to do and have you decided what new choices they're going to make to make that adjust changes but be transformed people doing new and powerful things.

So that's my super story for this weekend and I thank you for the 15 minutes and I believe it will be worth your time energy and effort and I would love to hear from you about how you are going to transform YOU!

When you really think about it it's kind of a strange day.  It's kind of a made up holiday that has no religious political patriotic or any such significance.  It's another 60 minute football game.  And we have thousands of them all over the country throughout the late summer and early winter.  So why is this such a big deal, and maybe it really isn't very super at all. Well maybe I've aggravated you enough but simply to tell you that maybe we should give it a second thought.

But then let me turn it very positive by telling you that from this day you could learn a great deal about how to market and sell your business and how to build your career and your reputation. Maybe you should think about having your own Super Bowl commercial to show to the world just like the multi millionaires, and big businesses do!

Let me begin to tell you how to do that because it could be very helpful and profitable for you to know. It might even be just the super idea that you need for right now.

Thanks

And after that introduction to the idea may I demonstrate what we're trying to do with the breakout of the the fourth season of the worldwide famous film The Chosen.

We are seeking to use the same power of incarnation end of storytelling in video production to show how you can follow the path of the chosen and become a world-class entrepreneur. I

t may be for you to participate in and also to become a franchise player and performer and truly become your own entrepreneur. The time is come the time is now,

 Right now there's a certain malaise in the midwinter air and atmosphere.  The usual coldness of the winter season combined with a lot of negative news and numbers of lead people to wonder just about what's going to be in 24.

That lead one respected journalist in his industry to begin his column for the day with the news, "There's pain in the forecast,"  He is usually an optimistic thinker and always has a bright and good way to look at things but he did suggest that the immediate future does look a bit painful,  indeed there is pain in the forecast.

Because I have some of those same feelings I paid attention to what he said and then here is my attempt to frame a bit of a response that has also come to me that just might be helpful to you as we look at the time ahead of us and perhaps how we can think hope and pray that we can be better than the times that are before us.

Again from the twilight zone.

Yes I got an upgrade end it wasn't something that I was looking forward to.  Some years ago when I was doing a lot more flying from time to time I would get a upgrade to first class. Unfortunately those days seem to have passed me by,  and the upgrade was very simply that my feeling sick condition was upgraded from cold to Covid.

Well that got me to thinking because most things that happen to be in life I try to see them in greater context and see if I can't upgrade them to lessons to learn or perhaps things to appreciate its greater care and intensity.

So let's give it a try.  That miserable cold that I've been battling for four or five days is more than that and so the battle goes on but the stakes are higher but I'm in good shape for that I'm grateful and blessed and perhaps you can learn something from my story today.

Thanks

 Yes and some of you may have heard me on my video cast and now all of you hear me and I don't sound very good, or maybe you think I sound a little bit better, and that's often the way things go.

I came back from Arizona with too long plane rides and somewhere in between I must've caught a cold because yesterday it hit me strong and striking.  And so that led to the question what do you do when you have a Thursday program scheduled and you don't have a substitute and you're supposed to be on the radio.

Well that reminded me a little bit of some of the things that often times came to me when I was in this situation before. What do you say when you can hardly talk and every time you do it hurts and even after all of that struggle and runny nose and the congestion and chills, how can you perform at your best for your audience.

May I share some stories of what often times came to my mind when I was in this kind of situation before because the more I remember it the better my advice is not only for when I have a cold but maybe even when I don't.

Please join me I think it'll be worthwhile!

 Well we have just about finished up our week at the historic and delightful White Stallion Ranch in Tucson Arizona.  Not only did we have course enjoy the wonderful weather and all of the things you can do at one of the premier guest ranches in the country... But we also did a bit of business by signing up five new podcast programs that will start this late winter in spring and I know that you'll be interested in almost all of them.

And we did what is called The Cowboy Up podcast and recorded an interview while he was on the touring road with Nashville singer Greg Hager. And in our conversation he gave me a line that I had to write down and I had to talk about... You see there are people with a cowboy way of thinkin' and others that are not.

And since I'm a fan and a historian and a lover of the Western tradition that got me to thinking about cowboy thinkin... And with your permission I'd like to share some of that thinkin with you and then like to hear from you and what you think.

And make sure you go to GregHager.com to hear some quality original cowboy singin and thinkin.

Thanks

Guess what, I found even more people who want to be buried on White Stallion Ranch, that's where they want their ashes to lay in the dust or blow in the wind.

You see the ranch is a good space to be and many of us who come to this place not only have the adventure of the horse riding, the open skies, the beauty of the mountains and the ruggedness of the Desert, we also find a place it is good for our spirit indeed perhaps for our very soul.

And please let me then discuss some thing you need to know that might be helpful for you to have a better life in 24... You need to be looking for, or perhaps creating good Places and Spaces that will help you be at your best, where your mind body and spirit can be addressed, and where you are open to the fact that perhaps the universe just might be on your side.

And then you need a place where you can demonstrate your wisdom insight in truth and tell your story.  Because you will never be all you can be until you learn how to tell your story and figure out how your story fits in to the big story!

Thanks

... And maybe it's time for you to have a true inner cowboy experience.

I have left some of the places where it's really cold out and it was a nice bright sunshiny day almost shirt sleeves day  in southern Arizona.  And I return to one of my favorite places.  Often when Karen sensed that I was a little bit out of sorts she would say to me, "Stan why don't you just go to the ranch today and maybe even stay overnight."

That was not her way I'm just getting me out of the house, which is probably a good thing for her and for me sometime, but you knew that when I went out to the ranch it had a soothing almost spiritual effect on me and I always return in a better frame of mind and spirit.

But I'm back but this time it's because I'm going to record the number of brand new podcast on the western tradition and the cowboy legends and lore ... And they also think it helped me to make a decision which I've been thinking about and something that even though I would have no idea about it would please me,

So with your permission may I tell you the story of bury me at the White Stallion Ranch.

Thanks

Stan
