Why Every Company Now Needs a Chief Broadcasting Officer (CBO)

By Stan "The Radio Man" Hustad

The What It Takes Radio Company presents another adventure… another expedition… and this one might just disrupt the way you think about your entire business.

Let me start with a simple—but slightly inconvenient—idea:

You are probably missing a very important person in your business today.

And no… it's not your CFO. Not your CMO. Not even your AI specialist.

You need a CBO. A Chief Broadcasting Officer.

AI is changing everything. But we're not just entering a digital economy—we're entering a performance economy.

It's not enough to know something, build something, or market something. You must communicate it—clearly, powerfully, and consistently.

That's broadcasting.

There's a difference between someone who does a podcast and someone who is a broadcaster.

Broadcasting is not just a skill. It's a state of mind. It's curiosity. Presence. Connection.

The best broadcasters are the most curious people in the room.

Every person has a story. The question is—are you curious enough to discover it?

Every person you meet is wearing an invisible sign that says:

"Please tell me I'm important."

Read the sign.

In today's world, your communication determines your success.

Your Zoom calls matter. Your videos matter. Your voice matters.

If you want to succeed today, you must learn how to perform across media.

This is the new degree: Master of Self-Expression.

THINGS TO REMEMBER

We are living in a performance economy.

Communication is core strategy.

Curiosity drives connection.

THINGS TO SHARE

Every business needs a CBO.

Curiosity is power.

Broadcasting is identity.

THINGS TO ACT UPON

Improve your communication skills.

Invest in your presence.

Develop or hire a CBO.

A PERSONAL CHALLENGE

If you can't communicate it, you can't scale it.

A CLOSING BENEDICTION

May you find your voice in a noisy world.

May your curiosity open doors.

May your message reach those who need it most.

You are not just building a business. You are broadcasting a story.

Make it worth hearing.


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.
