As I've said before I am now in my burning bush year so I can do a lot of things and July 1 of 2025 is here and I'm going to start doing what I call TWIT Talks from Time to Time and I'm hoping that you will join me in being a good TWIT Talker! ...
So let me tell you the story because there are a lot of them,,,
and STOSH something to say for greater clarity and showing even greater talent.
Are You a TWIT? I Hope So. (Because I Am One Too)
by Stan Hustad
Let me just get this out there: I am a TWIT. And proud of it.
That may raise an eyebrow—or both—but let me explain.
Today, I’m inviting you to join me in the Impact Zone, Transformation Zone, and now the TWIT Zone. Because on this latest episode of What It Takes Radio, I took a light-hearted but deeply personal dive into what it means to be a real TWIT… a person devoted to Transformation, Wisdom, Insight, and Truth.
Now, if you're thinking, "Stan, has the Arizona sun finally baked your brain?", hang on a moment. There’s a method to this joyful madness.
See, the idea came to me the way the best ideas do—on a morning walk, talking to God, thinking, pondering, and yes, praying. All of a sudden, BAM—TWIT. Four letters that could change a life (and maybe even a few businesses) if we let them.
From What It Takes to TWIT
The original inspiration came from an old mentor who told me to carry on his legacy of “What It Takes.” So WIT (What It Takes) became a theme in my life and work.
But then I added the T—for Transformation.
And I thought, what if being a TWIT wasn't foolish... but powerful? What if our world today needs a new kind of TED Talk—one that’s less about tech and more about truth?
That’s when TWIT Talks was born.
Not TED. Not TEDx. TWIT.
It might sound silly. But so did the wheel at one point.
So What Is a TWIT Talk?
A TWIT Talk is 5 to 15 minutes of pure gold—packed with wisdom, insight, and truth that actually helps people transform. It’s a little irreverent, often humorous, and always heartfelt. It’s the kind of thing that leaves you thinking, smiling, maybe even challenged.
You see, to TWIT someone is also to tease, to prod, to poke a little fun... but all with love and a dash of wit. It's about sparking curiosity and waking people up with a twinkle in the eye and a kick in the soul.
Why TWIT Matters Now
Let’s be honest—2025 hasn’t exactly been a cakewalk. We're in a messy, noisy, confusing, AI-fueled world where shouting seems to replace speaking, and everyone’s selling something but saying nothing.
What we need are real voices sharing real wisdom—earned through scars, stories, and lived experience.
That’s what TWIT Talks aim to do. They're short, sharp, and spiritual (with a splash of sass). They remind us that transformation begins not with a miracle, but with a moment of honesty.
Some Possible Takeaways from This TWIT:
• Transformation starts with truth, not just tech.
• Wisdom doesn’t come from Google—it comes from living.
• The best insights are simple, but never shallow.
• A little humor makes truth easier to swallow.
• You don’t have to be TED to make a difference—just be real.
• AI is powerful, but you are irrepl
