  • Sunday Morning Coming Down = An Interesting Ideas Special Series for the Passion Week

    24/03/2024 Duration: 08min

    Starting this Sunday we're going to begin a whole new series of little 5 to 7 minute programs every day later in the afternoon early evening on the subject of ON GOING DOWN. And today millions of people around the world celebrated what is oftentimes called the triumphal entry of Jesus into the city of Jerusalem. I'm not so sure about that description. And so I have re-entitled it Sunday Morning Going Down. So please give me seven minutes to tell you the introduction to my story and perhaps how you might join me in seeking not only to think differently but actually be different at the end of the week.

  • I know that when I go to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial that I will cry! May I tell you the story

    22/03/2024 Duration: 22min

     Whether we went, whether we ran away, whether we dodged and got deferred or maybe we just weren't qualified in someway, the era of the Vietnam war affected almost every young man in America in some way. Millions of them went to the war and many thousands died in the war.  Many were deeply and profoundly injured in the war and some were damaged in such ways that life just went profoundly wrong for them in so many ways.  And in some ways those poor folks are really the victims because they didn't get their name on the wall but in many ways the war had taken their life anyhow. And now many people have forgotten or didn't know that the world famous and almost universally loved memorial was very controversial when it was first proposed and then when it was first built. Many thought it was a terrible idea.  May I tell you that story. Thankfully in that case the people in charge stood by their decision and it turned out to be a transforming work of genius.  Let me tell you why it is so profoundly significant and tr

  • Do you really want to be fully transformed, will maybe here's a way to start. You can change your "luck" starting now

    19/03/2024 Duration: 15min

     Let me tell you an open secret. Things are not going to get better in the world now,  maybe later but not now, and the only thing that's gonna get better will be the situation that you create because you truly created some new and transforming things in your life.  That's the deal, face it and believe me. And that's why a number of us are seeking to create in 2024  a way where we can deal with the realities of life with radical resilience and be able to expedite big transformations in who we are and what we do and how perhaps we even begin to change the world to be a little bit better, starting now. Here's four things to think about and remember if you are serious about doing just that. And please keep in mind most people are not serious so I would encourage you to be different. Here's my story and I think it might be helpful and the song which I didn't sing really but I certainly did in my imagination.

  • I remember seeing a picture of her with her two little girls right after Bill was killed

    15/03/2024 Duration: 20min

    At this stage in my life there are more passings and obituaries than weddings, births of children, or anniversaries in the memos we get about the class news and reunions.  Recently we received a message about June.  Even though I was not a close friend of hers I knew her, and I was very much moved by the tributes that came in and the story that was told. I knew Bill had died in the Vietnam war.  And of course during that conflict we all had friends or knew of people that had suffered badly and even died in the conflict. But I didn't know the Bill story, and now I know more of it, but what moved me even more is the story of the life that you can put together after a terrible tragedy. Truly a story of a woman who took tragedy and transformed iit nto many victories.  Blessings on her family and her memory. Thanks Stan  

  • Where has God gone? A Cowboys Lament BY CAROL MARKSTROM

    14/03/2024 Duration: 14min

    In one of the tales of Fredrick Nietzsche, the madman cries out, where has GOD gone. And if we're honest with ourselves and perhaps even honest with God we all have those kind of questions come to us from time to time.  And a few years ago a very famous rabbi wrote a book that asked the questions, why do good things happen for bad people, and why do bad things happen to bad to good people. No matter what we believe or embrace, honesty compels us to admit that those doubts fears and questions come to us all. And my only counsel after many years of living and of believing and doubting is, don't let anybody put you in a box or critique you with their final answers.   Sometimes only God knows the answer and often He never tells.  Last week we did a Cowboy Up podcast program which I will tell you about as I invite you to become a broadcaster in 2024, and how I am helping a number of people in the western tradition do just that.   And in that program and for these times we played a sad song which is called a Cowboy

  • Maybe when you are not afraid to die, the great things begin to happen in your life and business!

    12/03/2024 Duration: 15min

    Could it be then when we no longer fear death that's some great and powerful things might begin to happen in our life and business.  Will take some time with me as a reminisce about some old films that I've binged done over the weekend that reminded me of a great truth that is hard to accept but maybe it is one of the keys to success in life and business. Let me tell you the story and then you tell me what you think! Stan

  • The Transformation Project #4 How it all began with Joe Pine of The Experience Economy!

    08/03/2024 Duration: 30min

    You seldom hear the word Customer Service anymore because it has been replaced by another word. We are always talking about the Customer Experience. Well how did that happen and what does it mean. On today's project program we're going to help you better understand how you can do business better today by understanding how customer service became the customer experience, and how that has now led to what we call The Transformation Economy, in which people pay not for what you do but they pay for what they got. This story by Joe Pine will tell you how it happened and what you need to do about it

  • Donald Trump is back. She's here she's there she's everywhere, and maybe hearing is everything!

    06/03/2024 Duration: 20min

     Well the guy who wrote the Art of the Deal is back in the game... And one of the reasons for that is he knows some things about business and the power of the media that most people don't and you whether you like him or not can learn something about is success and his comeback. Then let me tell you one of the secrets of a very successful business woman who knew what to do in order to build a successful entrepreneurial business... And you can learn something from the story of my good friend.   And by the way this is National Hearing day.  I didn't know anything about that and still don't know very much but it got me to thinking about the fact that hearing might be everything because it is certainly something very important, and that's why you need to learn the art of podcasting! Thanks Stan

  • My dear grandmother yelled at me and it changed my life forever! - a transformation story with my friend Bob Bose Bell

    01/03/2024 Duration: 15min

    This truly is one of the strangest stories about life and careers that I have ever heard.  Yes, my friend Bob has a very successful career in which he does what he loves to do every day and it all began when his grandmother yelled at him as he was watching a television program. I tell you this will be one of the most unusual transformative stories ever but it has a lot of lessons and you need to take time this weekend to listen to it and think about it a lot.   We often say an interesting ideas you learn more here by accident than most places by design and the day it happens again. Thank you for listening and then sharing your own transformation story. Stan

  • An interesting ideas Special Program with Steven Lear back from Israel with stories, thoughts and wishes

    01/03/2024 Duration: 13min

    "Steve we have to hear your story! " That's what I recently said to my friend Steven Lear when I found out that he had just recently returned on a trip from Israel.  Steve and I have known each other for a number of years and I always knew that he was thoughtful and well informed as well as very good at the work he did. I also knew that he was a good teacher even though he probably would not call himself that.  But he is, and whenever something in the Middle East happened, which happens a lot, I knew that if I wanted to understand what was going on that I would not necessarily listen to all the stuff on the news, but that Steve often times knew the real story and perhaps had some ideas about what needs to be done. And now we know that the war continues on and is at a pivot and turning point, so I asked if Steve would take this time to give us some thing to think about, and not just some interesting ideas, but some challenges. That's what he does so please listen. You need to hear this! Thanks Stan  

  • Unfortunately most people don't do what they say they are going to do. Is that you? Do you know somebody who doesn't do?

    29/02/2024 Duration: 21min

     I love the old cowboy movie about Lonesome Dove ... And there's a line in that film that we all need to hear and learn and do.  So let's take a little time to see if we can improve our life just a little bit and actually see if perhaps we can become one of the few that really do what they say they are going to do. And then of course it's leap year day!  Well do you have any plans to do some leaping this year?  Or are you going to be like most people who stay put, fall back, and merely lean forward.  And I would love to hear from you about some of your leaping that will truly change and maybe even transform your life. Thanks Stan

  • Have you been dealt a Dead Man's Hand at this Lenten time ? Let me tell you a story and play you a song

    25/02/2024 Duration: 20min

     At this time of the year the mini millions of us who following the Christian tradition take a special time before the Easter celebration to examine our lives and see if there's things that we should give up, maybe some things we should start up, and very much think about the insecurity of our life and remember that sometimes we just don't know what's gonna happen to us. So I'd like to have a little fun and play one of my favorite songs which deals with the fate of a real tough cowboy who made and had tough times in Deadwood South Dakota.  It was one of those legendary poker games that turned dangerous and eventually deadly. You never know when you've been dealt a bad hand, and so what do you do if you have and what can you change when you can.? Thanks Stan

  • Always leave a picture it's a secret to successful communication success

    23/02/2024 Duration: 17min

    You just have to spend the next 20 minutes listening to this program if you finally want to know something about successful leadership and business communication. And I guarantee that there is not one course like this in any MBA program that I know of that's why I often say that an MBA sometimes means mostly bad advice, and in particular in the field of entrepreneurship. Just managing a business that's going in growing can be done by an AI robot but if you're trying to create something and do something significant and bring about a better way of life rather than just creating another better thing you need to know more about what my friend Kevin has to teach you today. So play it smart and listen to his story because you can have all the information in the world but without an image and an incarnation practically nothing of value will happen. This is good stuff! I take that back, it's great wisdom!!

  • Do Manners still Matter today? And on his birthday should we celebrate gentleman George Washington who had a special gift!

    22/02/2024 Duration: 20min

    Of course the question should be an obvious yes, but do we really believe in practice that today.  Are you old enough to remember hearing from somebody older than you, "mind your manners." Well this might be a little bit of an old school guy bit of a rant but rent is not necessarily mind in your manners so it's simply some questions, a few suggestions and may be a little bit of some longings for other things from other times, And then there is the stories of Gentlemen George, and so on this day can I take a few moments to talk about a letter of advice that he gave to a young nephew and the letter was worth over $3 million and perhaps the advice he gave was well worth it. I hope this is useful to you and I would love to hear from you about how we can best today mind our manners! Stan

  • Do you want to be great or do you want to be useless. Some thoughts for presidents day just for you!.

    19/02/2024 Duration: 18min

     I have a lot of stories to tell you today. You'll enjoy them, at least most of them.  But this Presidents' Day stuff is kind of a funny holiday.  And unfortunately not everybody gets the day off. I certainly don't and most of the people I know don't get it all off but if you are one of those select folks who work for institutions to make sure they get every day off they have coming, you may have the day off. Well are you going to do something useful on this your day off? But this got me thinking about something else and that is the fact that if you want to lead a great insignificant life you might have to go through some very deep water, endure some deep pain get beat up and scarred... Maybe you even have to suffer. Do any of you wanna raise your hand and volunteer to suffer, but could it be that strong and successful lives that are fruitful and profitable and useful will require you to indeed suffer the scars before you can reach the stars and endure the pain and maybe even suffer a lot. Just a challenge fo

  • It's time for a transformation and maybe it's about you!

    16/02/2024 Duration: 12min

    As promised my friends on this Friday Interesting Ideas will start a special weekly segment that will talk about "trans formation". Yes that is the kind of transition we need to make, and usually it cannot be a transition, it may be something that is abrupt and strong and vital and right now, or it may be something less intense. But the point is that it is more than a change and it is more than an improvement it is more than a tweaking, transformation is about significant deep change in people, organizations, perhaps communities and could it be in a cup culture in a society itself Here's the introduction to the stories we hope to tell and hopefully you will be a part of our storytime and transition project.

  • The Super Bowl a wonderful victory has become a terrible tragedy!

    15/02/2024 Duration: 17min

    Yes it is the news of the day and it will play for a day or two and then unfortunately probably be forgotten. But it is something that we should think about and pray about today. The celebration of the Super Bowl victory in Kansas City has turned into a day and a great tragedy and the tragedy will affect the lives of many people beyond today and perhaps well into eternity. And hundreds of people and politicians will tell you what we need to do now and they don't know what they're talking about. There is not something wrong with our politics, there is something about our culture and our conditions where evil finds a place to abound. It will not be about changing things it may be about something else and so I would like to just offer a few suggestions as to what we might think about and pray about and perhaps take some personal actions for us. There is something else we need to think about and it is the powerful T word

  • Did anyone really win the game? Was it a great performance? Or was it amazing grace, good fortune, or just luck?

    12/02/2024 Duration: 17min

    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

  • Now what do we do! It's not a super weekend because everything is a big mess... Way to go Joe!

    09/02/2024 Duration: 15min

    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!

  • Sunday might not be a super day at all but you could learn something super on that day. Let me tell you the stories

    06/02/2024 Duration: 17min

    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 Stan
