This is a blast from the past and it is not a political point of View for you. Eight years ago when I heard that Donald Trump was gonna run for president, I was curious about him because I knew something about him but not very much. So I went out and studied him and bought a number of his books to find out about him.

And I discovered that whether you would like him or not hate him or love him that he had a number of very good ideas and some helpful things that would possibly be useful to you and me as we are trying to build our business ... And I got a gig from a training company to put some of those things together and they did their deal about 8 years ago.

Well I happen to find some of those deep in the archives and brought them out and thought well they might be kind of useful and fun to look at now and so that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to try to remember what I learned and share it with you. I hope it's helpful to you and as I said this is not based on any particularly political point of view. I'm not a partisan at this point just an observer.

And I've always thought that the good and thoughtful person is always open to learning from every situation that they have in life and that you might even learn something from everybody including those you may not like.


Stan Hustad believes that building a meaningful enterprise and cultivating a resilient spirit are not separate journeys, but deeply connected parts of a single, ambitious life. In his podcast, Interesting ideas with Stan Hustad, he explores this intersection with a refreshing blend of practical wisdom and philosophical depth. Each conversation moves beyond surface-level tactics to examine the foundational beliefs and inner disciplines that sustain long-term success. You’ll hear discussions on entrepreneurial strategy and business growth, but always framed within a broader context of purpose and personal integrity drawn from Christian thought and spiritual practice. This isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about developing the character required to lead, create, and endure through challenges. The dialogue often circles back to how core values shape decision-making, team building, and innovative problem-solving. Tune in for a thoughtful exploration of what it means to build something that lasts, both in the marketplace and within yourself. This podcast offers a space for those who suspect that true strength in business might just begin with understanding what you’re building for, and who you’re becoming along the way.
