    It's my Burning Bush year and if you're not Streaming you're just Dreaming about being successful ~
    Jun 27 2025
    ... In the media and in the marketplace today. First of all let me tell you about my burning bush birthday and maybe you can figure out what it was and what it means. If you still can't figure it out let me know and I'll tell you the whole story personally because it's important for you too! But since everybody in America listens to the radio or watches television or is involved in someway with the movies... Now everything you thought you knew about that has changed and will change a lot more in the right now future, so let me take a few minutes to help you begin to sort it out and do something smart! And now it is time for STOSH the robot to report on the radio show! If You're Not Streaming, You're Just Dreaming A message from the Impact Zone on the burning bush birthday of transformation By Stan Hustad It’s my burning bush birthday. That’s right. You can guess what that means—or let it remain one of life’s good mysteries. But here’s what matters: I’m still standing, still stirring things up, and still trying to help good people like you thrive in a fast-changing world. And today, I’ve got a message that’s as urgent as it is liberating. If you’re not streaming, you’re just dreaming. There it is. I said it. And I’m saying it again because this is the week it became official. According to the latest Nielsen ratings, for the first time ever, streaming has overtaken the combined total of broadcast and cable TV viewing in the United States. Read that again. Streaming is no longer the future. It’s the present. Broadcast and cable TV? They're down to 44.2%. Streaming now commands 44.8%—and the gap is only growing. And guess what? That shift changes everything. Not just for entertainment, but for communication, for business, for marketing, and for how we share our ideas, tell our stories, and build trust. From Airwaves to Antennas to Algorithms I’m old enough to remember when AM radio was king. When you needed a 30-foot TV antenna with guy wires just to catch a blurry black-and-white signal from Chicago. I delivered newspapers when every home had one. Today, in my apartment complex? Only one unit gets a daily paper. The rest of us are living digital—whether we know it or not. I’ve been broadcasting for over 45 years. I’ve seen the rise of FM stereo, the fall of print, and the digitization of almost everything. But nothing compares to the transformation happening right now. Streaming is more than a new channel. It’s a new world—a new medium demanding a new mindset. The Opportunity and the Challenge This isn’t just trivia for media nerds. This is your wake-up call. If you want to grow a business, start a movement, sell a product, or make a difference—you must learn how to show up on camera, behind a mic, and on demand. Podcasting, YouTube, livestreams, Zoom, LinkedIn video, TikTok, digital radio… these aren’t fads. They’re foundational. And now AI is accelerating the change. What used to take teams of experts can now be done by one creative entrepreneur with a laptop and a message. But here’s the catch: if you don’t get in front of this wave, it’s going to crash right over you. “Radio” used to mean transmitting sound across wires and waves. Today, radio means “radiated communication”—amplifying your voice, your vision, your value. And now everyone can have their own radio and TV network. You can too. What You Can Do—Right Now 1. Stop waiting. Start streaming. 2. Invest in your presence. 3. Repurpose everything. 4. Use AI wisely. 5. Build your own network. Final Words from the Burning Bush Birthday Boy This week, I released my second book for the Christian Entrepreneur Network: How to Be a World-Class Jesus Entrepreneur. It’s a project born out of this new era—a book written, designed, and published using the tools of streaming and AI. It’s proof of what’s possible. I’m not done. In fact, I’m just getting started. If you want help, I’m here: speaking, coaching, teaching, producing, broadcasting. Helping you get your voice out to the world—wisely, powerfully, purposefully. So here’s my birthday challenge to you: Don’t just dream about a better future. Stream it into existence. Reach out to me at stan@wittradio.net Let’s create something meaningful. All the best and blessings, Stan the Radio Man Key Takeaways from the Impact Zone - Streaming has officially overtaken traditional broadcast and cable. - Digital media is now the dominant force in communication and commerce. - The tools are in your hands—use them or lose out. - AI is not a threat if you learn to partner with it. - Every person, brand, and business needs a streaming strategy—now.

  • To be successful today you have to know about ZONE BASED LIVING.. Here's a start to knowing about it

    To be successful today you have to know about ZONE BASED LIVING.. Here's a start to knowing about it
    Jun 19 2025
    The world is full of people right now trying to tell you that they have the secret to success. I'm not one of them. No matter how good an idea you might have to remember that nothing works all the time and there's something wrong with everything. But for your thought and consideration let me speakand seek to explain what I have learned about what I call Zone-Based lLving and how being in the right zone in the right time will be very helpful to you as you deal with what is a rather rugged and challenging way of life right now in which most people are quite tired and don't know what to do. Maybe this 15 minutes might be helpful as a start to get back on track and have a sense of energy in the midst of difficult times. And now let's see what the STOSH has to say about the program. Living in the Zones: How I’ve Learned to Perform, Transform, and Flourish at Every Stage of Life By Stan Hustad If you’re going to survive—better yet, thrive—in today’s uncertain, noisy, and sometimes nasty world, you need more than a goal or a five-year plan. You need zones. That’s right—zone-based living is not just a quirky phrase I came up with; it’s a powerful way to understand where you are in life, what your role is, and how to perform at your best, no matter what stage you're in. This week on the program, I dove deep into the idea that living well in today’s complex world demands that we know where we are—not just physically or emotionally, but spiritually and professionally too. These five "zones" I’ve discovered over years of coaching, teaching, performing, and living... well, they’re not only helpful—they’re essential. So allow me to take you on a little journey through the five zones of life, with just enough wisdom, wit, and warning to maybe get you thinking, “Hey, I need to figure out what zone I’m in—and how to get to the next one.” The Five Zones of Life 1. The Curiosity Zone This is where we start, where we play, and where we ask a thousand questions an hour. Most of us lose it by the time we “grow up,” but here’s the big idea: what if everything you thought you knew... was wrong? Could you live with that possibility? The Curiosity Zone isn’t just for kids. It’s for entrepreneurs, artists, scientists, and anyone who refuses to accept the world as it is. Stay curious, my friends. 2. The Impact Zone Now you’re in adulthood. You’re responsible. You’re no longer just preparing—you’re performing. This is where you grow your audience, build influence, and—yes—make a dent in the universe. It’s not enough to exist. You’ve got to matter. And this is where our modern-day Dale Carnegies are born. Or better yet, reborn. 3. The Transformation Zone Congratulations—you’ve made an impact! But now it’s time to do something bigger. Better. Bolder. This zone isn’t about tweaking your brand or reorganizing your sock drawer. It’s about radical reinvention. You're not changing because you have to. You're transforming because you can. This is the zone where ideas meet courage. 4. The Generosity Zone If you’ve made it here, you’ve succeeded. But the question is, who else has? If your success doesn’t lift others, you’ve missed the point. Generosity isn’t just about money—it’s about time, attention, mentorship, kindness. Civilizations crumble without generosity. So if you’re still hoarding, you’re still stuck. 5. The Encore Zone Here’s where I live. You don’t retire—you re-fire. You’ve got wisdom, experience, and one more show to give. In fact, some of your best work might still be ahead. (Just ask Michelangelo, who created masterpieces into his 80s.) This zone is about finishing well, leaving a legacy, and making sure the world is just a little better because you were here. Memorable Takeaways - “What zone are you in? And what zone do you need to grow into?” - “You’re not just in the marketplace. You are the marketplace.” - “Curiosity didn’t kill the cat—it built the airplane, wrote the song, and launched the podcast.” - “Success without generosity is just ego with a good haircut.” - “You’re on sale every day. Better learn how to sell you.” Remember This - Curiosity keeps you young. - Impact makes you relevant. - Transformation makes you necessary. - Generosity makes you unforgettable. - Encore makes you eternal. A Call to Action So where are you today? Soul tired? A little lost in the cultural noise? Wondering if you’ve still got it? Let me tell you something: you do. You absolutely do. You just need a map. And that’s what the zone model can be—a compass for your calling, your career, and your contribution. If this message resonates with you, reach out. I’m here for coaching, conversation, counsel, or just a cup of encouragement. Let’s figure out your zone—and how to get to the next one. And remember: in a world gone sideways, those who live with purpose and perform with love will ...

  • If the Pope needs to do a Podcast maybe you do too!

    If the Pope needs to do a Podcast maybe you do too!
    Jun 13 2025
    Well maybe the Pope doesn't have to after all he is the Pope. But maybe he wants to. But he is a missionary just as I was a missionary and still am, and that means that we will do any media in any way we can to reach people with good news and good ideas and tell good stories. That's where I learned to do radio, as a missionary radio guy broadcasting all around the world. But the thing that turns me on right now is the fact that you don't have to be a big shot and have lots of money and stuff like that to be on the radio. You can be on the radio with your own program and even your own radio station. It's a wonderful opportunity, and remember that Donald Trump did not become president because he had lots of money and was a real estate development leader. ... He became president because he was the only one running who knew something about using the mass media and had been a television star... And the chance is that he was re-elected because he went on all of the podcasts. And as I used to say on late night radio, "just let that sit on your head for a while." And now STOSH the robot wants to add his two cents to the conversation. If the Pope Can Podcast, Maybe You Should Too *By Stan the Radioman* Let’s get real for a moment: when the Pope decides it’s time to do a podcast, it might be a gentle nudge from above that it’s time you considered it too. Yes, that’s right—His Holiness behind a microphone, reaching out with stories, insights, and blessings via a podcast. Now, if that doesn’t make you stop and think, what will? Hello friends, this is Stan, your friendly Radioman, and today I want to have a heartfelt conversation with you—one that starts with a bit of humor, moves through the madness of modern media, and ends with a serious call to action. Because in a world where even the Pope is podcasting, you and I have something important to consider: the voice we were given is meant to be shared. A Podcast with a Purpose The idea of the Pope doing a podcast might sound like the punchline to a late-night monologue, but it’s real—and it’s revealing. It shows us that no matter who you are or what platform you occupy, communication is changing. The microphone isn’t just for professionals anymore; it’s for teachers, leaders, creators, dreamers, and everyday folks with something meaningful to say. I’ve been preaching this for years. As someone who’s been part of the podcasting world since its scrappy early days, I’ve seen firsthand how it empowers people. Podcasting is not just about talking—it’s about performing, persuading, connecting, and even healing. In a world heavy with war, noise, and division, there’s something beautiful about claiming a little corner of the digital universe to speak your truth. And trust me, it’s not just about becoming famous or building a brand (though it can do that too). It’s about making sure your story, your message, and your mission aren’t left unsaid. That might be for your business, your ministry, your family legacy—or even just your sanity. Why This Matters Now We live in war-like times. Cities burn, nations battle, and the noise of conflict seems louder than ever. But in the middle of all that, there’s room for something different: storytelling. Hope-sharing. Peace-making. And that’s where podcasting becomes more than just a marketing tool—it becomes a mission. You don’t need a studio or a big audience. You just need your voice and the courage to use it. Take it from me—and now from the Pope—your message matters. You may try it and discover, like I did with golf, that it’s not quite your thing. That’s okay. But at least you’ll have explored it. And maybe along the way, you’ll discover a new version of yourself. You don’t have to be a podcaster. But you need to understand the power of this platform because the world is listening—and they need voices that speak truth, peace, and hope. Key Takeaways for You to Remember and Share • Podcasting isn’t just media—it’s mission. Your voice can be a force for good in chaotic times. • You don’t have to be perfect—just present. Try it, test it, and see what happens. • Performance is the new marketing. People respond to authenticity, personality, and presence. • Storytelling is soul work. It heals the speaker and the listener. • If the Pope is podcasting, you’ve run out of excuses. A Gentle Challenge and a Call to Peace So here’s the deal. I’m starting a podcast on podcasting. Why? Because I want to help people like you discover that your voice can make a difference. Whether you want to grow a business, write a book, teach a lesson, or just speak peace into a noisy world, I want to help you do it. And in the spirit of peace—real, deep, abiding peace—I leave you with this thought from Jesus himself: *“My peace I give to you.”* That’s the kind of peace we need more of. And maybe, just maybe, your next step in building that peace starts ...
