Probably just as he wanted. However many years ago the Pope then almost died in an assassination attempt in Saint Peter's square when a loan gunman tried to kill him. I was on worldwide radio that very day and it was a very challenging and interesting story and day and I learned a lot that day that has helped me as a communicator and a broadcaster today, and I'd like to share a little bit of what I learned with you if that's OK? And blessings to all and blessings on the memory of Pope Francis Then we asked our robot friend STOSH to make a few comments and do a little review of the work I did and as always he has some good and unique things to say and so here they are .

On this Good Friday may I share with you some of the wisdom(?} of Pontius Pilate?
18/04/2025 Duración: 18minThis whole day is full of life and business lessons about the state of our world not only 2000 some years ago but right now.

Did a Jew finding Jesus teach us a great lesson about life and business?
15/04/2025 Duración: 14minWell that was not necessarily meant to catch your attention but I hope it did. We're not trying to be funny or put anybody off it's just that it is a significant and true story. There is a famous Jewish performer who had a period in his life in which he was an admirer of Jesus. Like any performer what you admire may influence your life and your business and your music and your art. Well that is the story and it's not only a good song it's a great lesson in life and business and if we don't understand it we will seldom find true success. So I think it might be worth 15 minutes of your time to hear the story of the Jewish artist and the Jesus impact.

Seeking to survive the perfect storm of stuff ... and it could save some of you a lot of pain
15/03/2025 Duración: 13minIn my coaching throughout the years to want to be and even experienced radio people, I often said, if you can just help one person that is good and your program may have been just for them.

The Question That Can Change Your Life By Stan the Radio Man Mardi Gras is the party before the penance, the indulgence before the introspection. Yesterday, the world celebrated with music, dance, and revelry. Today, Ash Wednesday, is the moment of reflection, the time to turn inward. This morning, I participated in the ritual—the marking of the cross on my forehead with ashes. Later tonight, at a friend’s request, I will do it again. And it begs the question: does this act really mean anything?
