 Welcome to a variety of interesting ideas and a virtual Potpourri of transformational questions thoughts and ways to possibly change your life or be changed by something else.  .And as one wise piece of wisdom reminds us that a part of what we are all about is to bring new flavors in new colors into our life and into our world and in doing so we just might be the light of the world that helps change things and helps people to see and do and become new and better things And then we conclude with a story about a powerful and accomplished young woman who claims that the two word signature statement by Donald Trump truly transformed her life.  Do you know what that signature statement was. Do you have some signature statements of your own.  Maybe it's about time for you to come up with a few and we'll get you started on the road to seeing things that may lead to transformations.

We weren't really poor but sometimes we felt that way.  And of course those childhood things can very much influence who you are and how you become, And so today a little self-confession and perhaps a description of some of the things I would like to change in life.  I am sure that some of you will very much resonate with my story and some of you will agree and join me in my profession confession. Others will say, get over it Stan, who do you think you are and don't be so silly and old fashion. But I hope you will at least listen to my story inconsiderate and perhaps do a little bit of a self-guided about you, your persona, your performance and the image that you communicate to others.  Because as I say in chapter 2 of my book on successful marketing, image is not everything but it is the first thing, Dress for leadership! Thanks Stan

Join us for about 15 minutes as we boldly go where we may never have gone before. Let's join the crew of the Starship Enterprise and discover new and possibly powerful things about how we can become transformed people who can bring and guide powerful transformations into our world and for others. Remember the world needs more transformed people. Be One ,,, maybe this little starship adventure can help you do so right now. Now this is for those of you who are listening by radio rather than the audio version and here is the actual video that we played so you can see it and view it for yourself. https://youtu.be/cFods1KSWsQ        

 Yes it does. And I'm not saying that that's necessarily a good thing because often it is not, but it is the real thing today. Let me introduce you to my 20 minute Radio WIT talk. Like the TED Talk this is only 20 minutes but I think I do more than most TED talkers.  WIT stands for What It Takes, which stands for Wisdom Insight and Truth, and "wit" stands for a sense of humor and not taking yourself too seriously. That's a WIT Talk. I am going to demonstrate, hopefully, that the world does revolve around the radio and because of that you need to understand it, not to love it or even be a part of it but you do you need to understand it.  And it affects your life more than you could ever believe. So here is my challenge to you.  ... Why don't you figure out how to use it to better your life and your business and to help other people live better and grow and go forward and achieve some true success.. Why don't you join me and try to learn how to be a world class radio broadcaster and change your world and perhap

I have been a business performance coach for many years and a performance marketing teacher for just about as long and a broadcaster for many more years than that. Recently my two careers came together as people have asked me to create a variety of radio and video broadcasts about the things that we really need to know, learn to do, do them well, and then share the information knowledge and wisdom with others. Here's the deal, I am now developing a seven module coaching experience that are the Seven Stories about the Seven Strategies that the successful creator entrepreneur and business leader will need to learn, master, perform, and excel in.   Here in 20 minutes is a WIT Talk, a What it Takes presentation about what the seven strategies are so that you can start creating a pathway and the highway to learning all that you need to know to be on your way to true success in the 21st-century business marketplace. We can help you, so ask how a class, a course and a coaching experience might be just exactly what y

This will take no more than 20 minutes, just like a simple TED talk only this is a WIT Talk ... Hopefully wisdom insight and truth with a touch of humor and a smile. This year is leap year and we need to leap into some new and powerful ways to change your life and business because most people are lost and clueless and we don't want to join them and be a part of that said fellowship. My colleagues and I are trying to help people discover not only what they want in life and how to have a better life, but perhaps to have a very different life, that's very good and that has been transformed in ways that they never thought possible. That's the hand we're trying to deal you so that as you play the cards of life you will play them well. Play well and best and blessings to you so that you won't need luck ... just Grace. Stan

.Well since you're reading this it means you're probably not going to do what I said. You probably want to know where I'm going to tell the truck drivers. Well I'm going to tell them that sometimes I really admire their way of life and often wonder if maybe I should've been a truck driver myself And then I'm going to thank them because every day when they go to work they actually help somebody. Somebody's life is a little bit better because what they did that day.  And how many of us can say that. So in this 17 minutes this is a truck driver's tribute and salute and perhaps some questions about how you are living your life today and maybe you should make some changes starting now!

I am sure that that is a shocking title to some of you. But without the sarcasm or the toughness that it might imply, that's exactly what I'm telling myself and what I might share with you. Some people called this day silent Saturday because it seems like nothing happened and certainly nothing was said after all of the chaos commotion and death that took place on Friday. Maybe there's a great lesson there. We can start with Jesus on Friday and we can explore if we have time and wish some of the great teaching and the power of silence and stillness in living a good and powerful and effective life. So maybe what God wants us to do when things are difficult and perhaps even when they're rather easy just to stop being noisy and doing fast things. Maybe we should sit down, shut up, be still, and pray by listening rather than talking. This is our final lesson from the week. Tomorrow we celebrate going up. For your time and attention this week I give you thanks and I appreciate you.

 It's another Friday flowing into the weekend of a very significant weekend that we call the Easter celebration.  And that celebration is about a claim that certainly qualifies for a transformation,  and this is another interesting ideas program specializing in the ongoing Transformation Project Podcast.  Today I would like to talk about a challenging mentor who often sought to help me with all of my new ideas and projects and ways that I wanted to change things and do things.  He asked the question that all of us should answer from time to time and maybe all the time about what we believe say do or seek to accomplish ... Does it matter?  Will it make a difference?  Will it do good? Will it help somebody else besides you? So if you'll give me just a few minutes today on this be still silent Saturday to take time to think about what is happening and what we are doing in the life we are living right now.  Will it lead to a better life for me and for those I love and even for others that I don't even know starti

What do you think that could be about? Most of the big stuff about Good Friday is fairly well known by people who care. But there's a lot of other things that were going on and I want to point out just a few that might be interesting and significant for you. And let me tell you what I mean by TNGF and what really happened that might be even good about something said by all the people in the deal, the Romans themselves. I know you're busy but I think this 10 minutes could be very helpful and useful to you and give you something to think about which is what this whole season is all about. Thinking about you thinking about God and thinking about what to do. Blessings on you as you do that work!

Indeed I do. The recent tragedy of the Baltimore Bridge reminded me of something that I think about often. And I've had a bit of experience doing a lot of difficult work and difficult hours. So I'd like to just take a few minutes to talk about those dear people who make it possible for us to get a good nights rest because they don't. They work the graveyard shift and we should be grateful and thankful for them. This is my salute and this is my story.

We continue going down. And please remember that the people who are experiencing this at the time it happened had no idea of how the story is going to end. Jesus, through divine insight or just because he is such an incredible student of the human condition knows what's going down. And he doesn't like it one bit. He celebrates the pass over and has all of them perplexed as the king of the universe as they would hope gets down and acts like the loneliest of servants. What in the world is this all about. And then we go to dinner and my goodness what a strange toast. This is my body and this is my blood! And out to one of their favorite places and Jesus cries out in agony and sweats like blood and pleads with God that there be another way and his followers are fast asleep. And then the betrayal begins and goes down and bloodshed and the beginning of nothing good and everything evil is coming down.

We continue in this mid week of the Holy Week, indeed the passion and suffering week, and the week when things are truly going down! This is probably the day that the deal was done and making sure that Jesus would be done for! For the powers that be most of all religiously but some for political reasons, Jesus must be taken down, And so I call this the Big B Day... And let me tell you the story about the b-day and what it can mean not only for Jesus but for you and me too. Because there's a good chance that we will have more than one B-day in our life too!

Well Jesus is back and now he continues to raise a ruckus and cause trouble in Jerusalem, and the powers that be are being threatened by that not only because he has a great deal of popular support he seems to almost be fearless and right in their face. They try to catch him and harass him and ask him who does he think he is and where does he get his authority and credibility and his power. And he gives it right back to them, keeping them off balance, and demonstrating that he's probably even smarter than they are, So right now he begins to demonstrate the truth that will be confirmed later in the week, indeed this is Jesus and he is The One!

Well we enjoy celebrating the parade on Sunday but on Monday Jesus is not just coming down into town again he's coming down to take a lot of other things down with him... And so we have the famous scene of Jesus, hardly gentle and kind, flipping tables throwing things, scaring people and making a big mess. Indeed Monday is truly a messy day and they are going to be a lot of messy things coming down this week. Are you ready to learn from all of the things that are going down.

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.

 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

 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.

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  

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
