Interesting ideas with Stan Hustad

 I said in a previous podcast that I'm lucky and I didn't expect to live this long. And I'm doing quite well and I am grateful and thankful beyond measure.  However this can't go on forever, and so today I'm in a family reunion with my cousins, and part of the reason I'm there is because going forward for the most part we will only be seeing each other as we say goodbye at the memorial service of one another.  So it's important that I be there today.

However all of this has also caused me to wonder how should I spin and spen the years that I may have left. And I have come to the conclusion that I probably could use seven years if I could be so graced to achieve some of the goals and leave some of the legacy that I wish to others.

However I have discovered the to achieve that it will be very helpful for me to do the work to have a bigger and better brain so that I can have a better body.  

And so I am beginning a program right now to do just that, to every day be thinking of ways that I can have a bigger and better brain and protect it ... and if I do that right then I can have a better body that is healthier stronger and able to push back the years of my mortality just a bit.

So with your permission I'd like to tell you a little bit about that because it might be helpful to you too. And one of the things I have to do in life is help people live a better life and have better things come to them in their life for right now and most importantly forever.

So that's the deal for this weekend.

Thanks

 Well once again the news here in the USA is about former President Donald Trump and that he has now been indicted the third time, with a possible fourth on the line.  Obviously the nation is divided over that with some people calling it a political hit job and a fraud, and of course there are others who believe that it's finally some accountability and the Donald Trump is getting what he deserves.

Well it will be an interesting drama ... But I'm going to be so bold to suggest something that I think is quite obvious, Donald Trump will be OK.  He may not win the presidency but he will have a following and a loyal audience of millions no matter what, and no he will not land up in jail.  That won't happen.

So let me make my point but then on a related and Segue point may I quote Maya Angelou who in many ways knows part of the secret to Donald Trump's continuing success, and she also knows something that you can learn if you're trying to build a life and a business that makes a difference.

Yes today some lessons from Donald Trump and Maya Angelo and me!

Thanks

 Yes, one brilliant man and a mentor said "Don't blame and don't explain just do good work." 

We spend a lot of time blaming other things and other people for things we don't like or even out of our control.  And a very smart woman friend of mine made it clear to her office colleagues, we don't blame around here, we find it and fix it." 

Today's program will be a challenge to watch out for ourselves and others when we get into the blame game and perhaps we should begin by realizing that there is a better game to play. And that is the brain gain game.

OK that combined with some weekend ramblings about Oppenheimer and Barbie and what's going on in the world and just a reminder that you have an incredible instrument right behind your eyes ... 

Take care of it, help it get better, and then you will have a better body in a better life and better things will come to you.

Thanks

 Yes by the time you finish your MBA degree it will probably be out of date. In fact it may be out of date even before you begin it.  It's not the deal today.  Hey you will need not to have something but to be something ...

You need to be real good at BAD ,,, in fact it's one of the things you're going to need to master, so MBAD.  And I'm going to audition for a position to help you be that kind of powerful personality that is vital for business success today.

So give 20 minutes to hear my story, actually it's less than that but you wanna think about it for a while.  I guarantee if you do what I recommend to V you will see things differently.

So here's the pitch and here's the story!

Thanks

Stan

 This is not just a bunch of Clickbait,  you will need to be able to reach an audience that cares and that's hard to do. You will have to stop your dead tree marketing and bring your message to life, and it's a world today that if you understand it you must seek a touch of immortality,

And you will need all three and I can help you, perhaps someone else can help you, or perhaps you can do it yourself  DIY ... But you will have to do it.

So take your 15 minutes every day learning time to hear me tell the stories and give you a few things to think about because every day in every way it gets harder and harder to build a business and make a living. And neither you nor I can do it ourselves, we will need help.  

This is useful for everybody.  If you have millions and millions of dollars and don't ever have to work again, maybe not you... But let me tell you a secret, if you want to live well enjoy your well-being, you have to do work.

So I would love to hear from you because this is meant to challenge you.

Thanks

This is nothing heavy but I hope interesting and a bit thoughtful and maybe helpful... I would like to lose a little weight but it would be better if I could build a better brain.  And during the weekend I was deeply moved by a story about whaling ,,, and I watched the Ron Howard film that I can only subtitle is, what can happen when you're out trying to kill killer whales.

And guess what there are some real life lessons there because of a lot of us high-performing Type A types are out there trying to kill the big whales, make the big deal, get the big win, make our mark in the world, grab for the gold and be the star.   

So let's see the price that we may pay for that but in the story we might also learn about what real courage is all about.  So indeed it is a bunch of rambling radio revelations but I think you might find them helpful because it'll spur you want to come up with your own wisdom insight and truth and begin to finally put it on the radio and share it with the world.

And that's OK. Every one of you has something worth sharing a story worth telling.

Well there's a bit of a malaise at this Midsummer and obviously the heat is contributing to a little bit of the slowness of pace ... But maybe that's OK because we can think of it might be truly important.  Yes the big three, in some ways we all want them and there's nothing wrong with that healthy desire if it's for good things for you the one to love and for others and doesn't hurt anybody.

But like the old song went ... Is that all there is?  And the answer of course is no so today I would like to take about 15 minutes just to make a couple of suggestions that might be helpful and give you something to think about and maybe something to pray about and take action on that might make life, easier and better now.?

These 15 minutes will be good for you. Please take time to listen. I would be grateful.

 Well did Monday go fairly well at this Midsummer time.  Well in no way is this a morbid Monday story in fact it's a challenging and inspiring story because my friend Randy, really should be dead, but he's not.  So let me perform his story for you and then share a few of my own.

Because if you took the question in the story seriously you might be a lot more serious and a lot more effective and successful in your life.  Indeed you might go where you've never gone before and do things you've never done before. In fact, you might even be brave.

Wouldn't it be nice to be brave?  So take 20 minutes to learn something brand new and fun and interesting and then let me know how I can help you and how I can put you in touch with Cowboy creature, teacher, preacher Randy because I would love to do that.

Thanks

Stan

No I don't want this to be a downer but perhaps just a reminder.  As my friend Seth says, how would you like it if every day somebody came and dumped a bunch of garbage on your front yard or the front door of your apartment.

Would you collect it and go through it and see if there might be any good stuff left in it?  Or would you act differently?

I confess I'm a media man, I've been involved in radio a good share of my life, and I've used the video and television means to reach thousands of people in my audience.  But I don't like email very much and I don't like texting very much... Talking one on one 2 x 2 is always better and of course that new addictive machine is now bringing more stuff into our world every day than we could ever begin to keep track of or maybe even find useful

And in fact couldn't it make you less smart and more depressed? If so may be a little 15 minute therapy lesson with good humor and the challenge and a bit of encouragement might be just what you need this weekend.

Thanks

 Could it be that I and the famous past mobster have something in common.  Yes I get a shave and a haircut every day and there is a very good reason for that. And that might be helpful to you to know a little bit of a story.

Which actually begins when my daughter moves to New York City to try and become a writer author and publisher and in doing so she had some incredible life lessons and experiences in the big city.

And that's kind of fun but it will give you an insight into why I get a shave and a haircut every day and what that means about how I do my day.  And just maybe it might be helpful to you to discover how you need to begin your day and what kinds of patterns and principles and practices should you put them place  .... 

That might in the words of Clint Eastwood, Make your Day!

Thanks
