Transformation doesn’t happen by accident.
It begins with a decision to change.
On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black explores the process of transformation and why every lasting change starts with a catalyst. Whether it’s a crisis, a conviction, or a calling, change is often the spark that ignites a completely new direction in life.
Using the science of fire and the imagery of a smelter’s furnace, Mr. Black explains that just as fire requires oxygen, heat, fuel, and a chemical reaction, personal transformation also requires the right environment, behaviors, beliefs, and identity working together. Real growth doesn’t happen by chance—it happens through a process.
This episode explores:
- Why transformation always begins with change
- How environment, behavior, identity, and beliefs work together to create lasting growth
- Why crisis often becomes the catalyst for breakthrough
- The difference between simply surviving life and stepping into your calling
- Why our lives are not episodic—they are architectural, built one decision at a time
Mr. Black is also joined by Eric and Jason, two recent graduates of Leadership Awakening, who share their personal stories of transformation, breakthrough, and how choosing change has reshaped their lives.
The question isn’t whether change is coming.
The question is:
What will it take?
What spark will ignite your awakening?
What moment will cause you to say, “Enough… it’s time.”
Because the new you is waiting.
And the fire has already been lit.

Sometimes the road to your calling takes far longer than you ever imagined.
On this special episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black shares the powerful valedictorian address he delivered after completing a journey that took 42 years to finish—a journey marked by abuse, homelessness, military service, self-doubt, setbacks, and ultimately, God's faithfulness.
Beginning with his story of being kicked out of his home at sixteen, Mr. Black reminds graduates that while everyone may arrive at the same destination, no one travels the same road.
At the heart of his message is one life-changing phrase:
"But God."
No matter what comes before it...
- But I'm not smart enough.
- But I've failed.
- But my past...
- But my trauma...
- But my circumstances...
"But God" changes the ending of the story.
Drawing from Isaiah 6, Jeremiah 29:11, Ephesians 2:10, and Romans 8:28, Mr. Black reminds listeners that God creates His people to be effective in the very environment He knows they will face. Your struggles were never hidden from Him. Your future has never caught Him by surprise.
He also shares one of his favorite illustrations from George Bernard Shaw, challenging listeners not to spend life wishing they had become someone else, but to become the person God created them to be.
This isn't just a graduation speech.
It's a message for anyone who's ever wondered if they're too late, too broken, or too far behind to fulfill their purpose.
Because your past explains part of your story...
It does not write the ending.
This is an Hour of Power about perseverance, identity, purpose, and the God who has been writing your story all along.
The road may have been long.
But God.

Leadership begins with understanding.
If you can't understand people, you can't truly influence them, develop them, or lead them.
On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black explains why understanding is the front door of the People Business. Whether you're leading a company, raising a family, strengthening a marriage, or serving your community, your success will always be connected to your ability to understand how people think, communicate, and grow.
Drawing from psychology, neuroscience, sociology, theology, and decades of leadership experience, this episode brings together powerful ideas that reveal how people are formed—and how they can be transformed.
You'll discover:
- Why relationships drive nearly every meaningful outcome
- How repetition, observation, and attachment shape identity
- What Hebb's Law, Social Learning Theory, Mimetic Theory, and Attachment Theory teach us about human behavior
- Why lasting change always begins with understanding, not control
Mr. Black also explores practical tools from Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Emotional Intelligence, including:
- The three primary communication filters: Deletion, Distortion, and Generalization
- The three perceptual positions that help leaders see beyond their own perspective
- How people process the world through visual, auditory, and kinesthetic communication styles
- Why changing perspective often changes the outcome
Most importantly, this episode reminds us that people are more than behavior.
We are body, mind, and spirit.
Great leaders don't simply manage performance—they understand the whole person. They help reshape beliefs, build trust, strengthen identity, and create environments where people can flourish.
Because when you understand how people are formed, you begin to understand how people can be transformed.
This is an Hour of Power about communication, emotional intelligence, leadership, and unlocking the greatest investment you'll ever make: people.

Life is a battle.
Not just the obvious battles we see around us, but the deeper battles that shape who we become.
On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black explores the six battles every person will face:
- Man vs. Nature – the unexpected storms of life
- Man vs. Man – conflict with others
- Man vs. Society – the pressure to conform
- Man vs. Himself – the internal war between fear and faith
- The Spiritual Battle – the unseen struggle between light and darkness
- The Battle for Identity – the greatest battle of all, because who you believe you are determines how you fight every other battle.
Joining Mr. Black is Lt. Col. Phil Cochran, a retired Air Force F-16 fighter pilot, pastor, and author of Lessons Learned at the Speed of Sound. Drawing from years in the cockpit and years behind the pulpit, Lt. Col. Cochran shares how the disciplines required to fly a fighter jet reveal powerful spiritual truths about faith, courage, pressure, failure, and perseverance.
LIM Radio s11e29 In the Fight of your life Outline.docx
Together they discuss:
- Why even a one-degree drift can lead to disaster over time
- The importance of spiritual disciplines in staying on course
- Preparing for life’s battles before they arrive
- Why Scripture is our Critical Action Procedure when spiritual emergencies strike
- How proper preparation prevents poor performance
Mr. Black also challenges listeners to become Powerful, Peaceful, and Present warriors—leaders who remain calm under pressure, disciplined in their actions, and fully aware of the people and opportunities God places before them.
This isn’t just a conversation about aviation.
It’s about leadership.
It’s about faith.
It’s about identity.
Because the greatest battle you’ll ever fight isn’t against your circumstances.
It’s the battle for who you believe you are.
This is an Hour of Power for anyone ready to stop drifting, stand firm, and fight the good fight of faith.

Your life is the sum of your choices.
Not one decision.
Not one moment.
But the daily choices that quietly shape who you become.
On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black reveals the five choices that ultimately define every life. They may seem ordinary, but together they determine your direction, your influence, and your legacy.
The five choices are:
How you spend your time
The attitude you choose
What you focus on
The story you tell yourself
What you believe about God, yourself, and your purpose
Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, Scripture, and leadership principles, Mr. Black explains why our minds are constantly filtering information through deletion, distortion, and generalization—and why the stories we repeat to ourselves eventually become the lives we live.
This episode also explores:
How your Reticular Activating System (RAS) shapes what you notice and pursue
Why beliefs at the identity level create lasting transformation
The Sovereignty Triangle found in Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8:28, and Ephesians 2:10
The difference between living for Survival, Success, or Significance
Because success isn’t the highest goal.
Significance is.
It’s not about what you accumulate.
It’s about who you build.
It’s not about making a name for yourself.
It’s about making a difference in the lives of others.
This is an Hour of Power designed to help you examine the choices you’re making today—because today’s choices become tomorrow’s character, and tomorrow’s character becomes your legacy.
The time is now.
Choose wisely.

As America celebrates 250 years of independence, one question rises above all the celebrations:
What were we set free to become?
On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black reflects on the meaning of freedom, responsibility, and courage in a nation founded on the ideals of liberty. Freedom was never meant to be the absence of restraint—it was meant to be the opportunity to build strong families, raise responsible children, live with purpose, and honor God.
This episode explores the growing challenges facing our nation:
- The decline of the family
- Rising loneliness, anxiety, and suicide
- Young adults delaying responsibility and purpose
- The growing disconnect from faith among younger generations
Through the Law of Causality, Mr. Black reminds listeners that nothing happens by accident. Every effect has a cause, and every choice produces consequences. If we want a different future, we must be willing to examine the decisions and beliefs shaping our present.
Joining the program are Joe Soltis and his son Jake, who share how they are investing in the next generation, encouraging young people to live boldly for Christ and helping reverse the trend of spiritual decline.
The episode also looks at historical lessons, including the often-cited cycle of republics throughout history, and asks whether America has the courage to reclaim the values that made it strong.
Because freedom without responsibility eventually becomes chaos.
It takes courage to lead a family.
It takes courage to keep your commitments.
It takes courage to stand for truth.
And it takes courage to use your freedom well.
This is an Hour of Power about leadership, faith, family, and the responsibility that comes with liberty.
Because the land of the free has always depended on the home of the brave.

n a world that never stops moving, maybe the most productive thing you can do… is slow down.
On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black explores why clarity is becoming one of the rarest leadership skills in our information-saturated culture. Every day, our brains are bombarded with the equivalent of 34 gigabytes of information, forcing us to filter, interpret, and respond faster than ever before.
But what if moving faster isn’t the answer?
This episode examines how our minds process information through three powerful filters:
- Deletion – We leave important things out.
- Distortion – We reshape reality through our beliefs and emotions.
- Generalization – We turn isolated experiences into lifelong assumptions.
These filters help us survive, but they can also cause us to misunderstand ourselves, others, and even God.
Mr. Black also unpacks:
- The role of the Reticular Activating System (RAS) and how it determines what captures your attention
- Why most of our daily decisions happen unconsciously
- How culture, media, and repeated messages shape our thinking
- Why awareness is the first step toward transformation
Joining the program is John CEniglia, President of SAT-7, sharing how Christian media is helping people in the Middle East see beyond stereotypes and discover truth through authentic conversations.
The message is simple but powerful:
Slow down.
Think.
Become aware.
Because you can’t change what you don’t recognize.
Leadership begins the moment you stop reacting automatically and start thinking intentionally.
This is an Hour of Power about awareness, wisdom, emotional intelligence, and learning to see clearly in a world that profits from distraction.

What does it mean to be human?
In a world flooded with information, competing narratives, emotional reactions, and constant division, that question may be more important than ever.
On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black takes listeners back to the fundamentals of human behavior, leadership, and relationships. Because before we can lead others, we need to understand ourselves.
This episode explores some of the most important truths in the People Business:
- People are the greatest asset and greatest challenge in every organization
- We don't respond to reality—we respond to our map of reality
- Every behavior is driven by a belief system
- Identity shapes beliefs, beliefs shape behavior, and behavior shapes outcomes
Mr. Black breaks down key principles from psychology, leadership, and emotional intelligence, including Robert Dilts' Logical Levels of Change, revealing why lasting transformation must begin at the identity level.
You'll also discover:
- Why people often react to narratives more than facts
- How emotional contagion shapes culture and perception
- The dangers of attaching unhealthy labels to your identity
- Why emotional intelligence is becoming one of the most critical leadership skills of our time
Joining the conversation is John CEniglia, President of SAT-7, sharing how Christians in Turkey are challenging stereotypes and changing perceptions through authentic conversations, storytelling, and faith-based media.
At its core, this episode is about understanding people better:
Why they think the way they do.
Why they believe what they believe.
Why emotions often overpower logic.
And why leadership begins with winning the hearts and minds of people.
Because every organization is in the people business.
Every family is in the people business.
Every leader is in the people business.
And the better we understand what it means to be human, the better equipped we are to build healthier relationships, stronger cultures, and more meaningful lives.

What if the pressure you’re experiencing isn’t breaking you?
What if it’s building you?
On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black tackles one of life’s greatest realities: pressure. Most people spend their lives trying to avoid it. Great leaders learn how to grow through it.
Pressure reveals what comfort conceals.
It exposes character.
It uncovers belief.
It reveals what is truly inside.
Through powerful stories, biblical principles, and practical leadership insights, Mr. Black explores why pressure is not punishment—it is preparation.
You’ll discover timeless lessons from:
- The Refiner’s Fire, where impurities are removed and strength is revealed
- The Teacup Story, where beauty is formed through heat and shaping
- The transformation from Coal to Diamond, where pressure creates value
- The Butterfly’s Metamorphosis, where struggle creates the strength to fly
- The Olive Press, where crushing releases purpose and anointing
This episode also explores:
- The difference between the Comfort Zone, Fear Zone, and Panic Zone
- Why growth only happens outside your comfort zone
- How adversity builds resilience, perseverance, character, and hope
- The connection between thoughts, emotions, forgiveness, and personal well-being
- Why leaders are forged in difficulty, not convenience
At the heart of this message is a simple but powerful truth:
The fire was never in the lantern.
When titles disappear, plans fail, relationships disappoint, or circumstances change, the question becomes:
What remains?
Great leaders eventually discover that their identity is not found in what they carry, but in what carries them.
Pressure doesn’t reveal your limits.
Pressure reveals your potential.
Pressure doesn’t define your weakness.
Pressure defines who you are becoming.
This is an Hour of Power for anyone facing adversity, uncertainty, loss, challenge, or transition—and a reminder that the very thing you wish would go away may be the thing preparing you for your greatest purpose.

What makes a great leader?
Not talent.
Not charisma.
Not position.
According to Mr. Black, great leaders are built on a triangle—and triangles are the strongest structures in creation. Remove one point and the structure weakens. Keep all three and it can withstand tremendous pressure.
On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black builds on last week’s discussion of the power of triangles and introduces what he calls the Leadership Triangle:
- OMNI — Living with purpose on purpose
- SEMPER — Always flexible, always growing
- HINENI — All in, fully present
Together, these three words create a framework for transformational leadership.
You’ll discover why words matter more than most people realize, how identity shapes behavior, and why great leaders are intentional about what they think, say, and believe. Drawing from Scripture, neuroscience, epigenetics, and leadership psychology, Mr. Black explores the connection between thoughts, beliefs, and outcomes.
This episode also unpacks:
- Why purpose gives meaning to both success and suffering
- The leadership principle of Requisite Variety—the most adaptable person has the most influence
- Why presence is becoming one of the rarest and most valuable leadership skills in today’s distracted world
- How words can reinforce identity, shape culture, and change lives
At its core, this episode is a challenge to become the kind of leader who:
- Sees purpose in everything
- Stays flexible in anything
- Shows up with everything
Because leadership isn’t just about what you do.
It’s about who you’re becoming.
You were created by an OMNITELIC God.
Designed to live a SEMPER life.
And called to walk with a HINENI heart.
This is the Triangle of a Great Leader.

Every life is built on a triangle.
The question is: Which one are you choosing?
On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black explores the power of the triangle—the most stable structure in nature and one of the most powerful patterns found throughout Scripture. Three points create strength. Three points create balance. Three points create stability.
But not every triangle leads to life.
Mr. Black unpacks two very different triangles that shape the human experience:
The first is Aaron Beck’s Cognitive Triad, the psychological architecture of depression:
- A negative view of self
- A negative view of the world
- A negative view of the future
When all three align, people can become trapped in a cycle of helplessness and hopelessness.
The second is God’s Sovereignty Triangle:
- Jeremiah 29:11 — God planned it
- Romans 8:28 — God is working it
- Ephesians 2:10 — God prepared you for it
Together they form a foundation of identity, purpose, and hope.
This episode explores how leaders can recognize destructive thinking patterns, avoid becoming like Job’s three misguided friends, and learn how to respond with wisdom, compassion, and truth instead of judgment and shame.
Mr. Black also reveals another powerful biblical triangle:
Remember → Do Not Fear → Obey
Because leaders rise or fall based on what they choose to remember. When we remember the right things, courage follows. When courage follows, obedience becomes possible. And when obedience becomes possible, purpose is fulfilled.
This is an Hour of Power about mindset, leadership, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves.
Because the enemy wants to control your memory so he can control your fear.
But God has a different plan.
Remember.
Do not fear.
Obey.
Choose your triangle.

One day your life will be summarized by a single line.
A beginning date.
An ending date.
And a dash in between.
The question is:
What are you doing with your dash?
On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black delivers a direct challenge about purpose, legacy, leadership, and eternity. Because life is not measured by possessions, titles, or status. It is measured by people.
- Who are you helping?
- Who is breathing easier because you lived?
- Who is stronger because your life intersected with theirs?
- What are you building that will outlive you?
Drawing from Isaiah 61, Luke 4, Viktor Frankl, Stephen Covey, and the book of Job, Mr. Black breaks down the deeper meaning behind being in the People Business.
Not using people.
Not managing people.
Building people.
This episode explores the powerful CARE Framework:
- Cultivate Potential
- Align Hearts & Purpose
- Restore Healthy Culture
- Empower Ownership
Because when people feel cared for:
- commitment rises
- engagement deepens
- cultures heal
- performance improves
Mr. Black also examines the three failed comforters in the book of Job:
- Eliphaz the traditionalist
- Bildad the legalist
- Zophar the accuser
Together they reveal what happens when leaders choose explanation over compassion, certainty over mercy, and systems over people.
This powerful episode also features interviews with four recent graduates of the Leadership Awakening class, sharing firsthand how the experience impacted their mindset, relationships, leadership, faith, and direction in life. Their stories bring the message of transformation out of theory and into real life.
This is an emotional, challenging, and deeply personal episode about becoming the kind of leader, parent, mentor, spouse, and friend who leaves behind more than success.
A life fully spent.
A dash that mattered.
Because at the end of life, the question will not simply be:
“What did you accomplish?”
But rather:
“What on earth were you doing?”

Vision is not wishful thinking.
Vision is seeing clearly enough to connect the dots before everyone else does.
On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black breaks down the six forces that shape a life that matters:
- Passion – the fuel
- Purpose – the why
- Focus – the direction
- Commitment – the GO button
- Team – the multiplier
- Vision – the ability to see what others miss
Because without clear vision, people drift.
Without passion, people quit.
Without purpose, any road will do.
Mr. Black challenges listeners with three defining leadership questions:
- Where are we now?
- Where are we going?
- What will it take to get us there—and how long?
This episode connects leadership, neuroscience, parenting, culture, and spiritual formation into one unavoidable truth:
Children become what they see.
Through powerful research on mimetic theory, social learning theory, attachment theory, and developmental psychology, Mr. Black shows how today’s crisis of identity, anxiety, delayed adulthood, and cultural confusion did not happen by accident.
The data is staggering:
- Emotional maturity is delayed
- Anxiety and depression are skyrocketing
- Young adults are disconnected from purpose, responsibility, and resilience
- Technology has replaced mentorship, risk, and real-world formation
But the message of this episode is not hopelessness.
It’s responsibility.
Because the solution is not outrage.
The solution is better examples.
Parents acting like parents.
Leaders acting like leaders.
Adults refusing to stay emotionally adolescent while expecting children to mature.
This is a direct challenge to become someone worth following—because whether you realize it or not, someone is watching.
“When you thought I wasn’t looking…
I was learning how to live.”
This is an Hour of Power about leadership, legacy, culture, and reclaiming clear vision in a distracted world.
Because if you want to change the future…
you must start by becoming the example.

Are Millennials and Gen Z falling apart…
or standing at the edge of a massive awakening?
On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black tackles one of the biggest leadership and cultural questions of our time:
Is the next generation a mess—or an opportunity?
The statistics are staggering:
- Loneliness is skyrocketing
- Anxiety and depression are rising sharply
- Emotional intelligence is declining
- Purpose is collapsing
- Hope is eroding
And the effects are showing up everywhere—from relationships and mental health to the workplace itself. Surveys reveal many business leaders see Gen Z as the most difficult generation to work with, citing struggles with communication, conflict resolution, motivation, and emotional resilience.
But Mr. Black makes something very clear:
This didn’t happen by accident.
Through the lens of the Law of Causality and the Chain of Causation, this episode examines how culture, technology, isolation, and spiritual drift have shaped an entire generation. Drawing from Jonathan Cahn’s The Return of the Gods, Mr. Black connects major cultural and legal shifts to the broader battle over identity, values, and the soul of a nation.
But this episode is not about condemnation.
It’s about intervention.
Joining the conversation is Garrett Bryant from Prayer at the Heart, sharing why many Gen Z young adults are turning back toward prayer, faith, and spiritual community in search of what social media, achievement, and endless comparison could never provide.
Because underneath the anxiety is a deeper hunger:
- To belong
- To matter
- To find purpose
- To know truth
Mr. Black closes with a direct challenge to leaders, parents, mentors, and believers:
The time is NOW.
We can still shape the next generation.
We can still interrupt the cycle.
We can still change eternal destinations.
Because helpless and hopeless are not the final answer.
This is an Hour of Power about leadership, culture, purpose, and the fight for the hearts and minds of the next generation.

If not now, then when?”

Every leader thinks they’re in the product business…
the profit business…
the performance business…
They’re not.
They’re in the people business.
On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black breaks down the core truth behind every organization, team, and outcome:
people are the cause—everything else is the effect.
The greatest expense? People.
The greatest reward? People.
The greatest potential—and the greatest problems? People.
This episode challenges leaders to stop managing results and start developing humans. Because when you build better people, everything else rises with it—culture, performance, relationships, and long-term success.
Mr. Black introduces the CARE Framework, a practical system for leading in the people business:
- Cultivate Potential – Develop strengths, not just assign tasks
- Align Hearts & Purpose – Connect people to something that matters
- Restore & Reinforce Culture – Protect the emotional environment
- Empower Ownership – Trust people to lead, not just follow
This isn’t soft leadership.
It’s how high-performing teams are actually built.
You’ll also uncover how people are formed:
- Early life experiences shape their map of reality
- Hebb’s Law wires repeated experiences into patterns
- Social Learning Theory shows we become what we see
- Attachment Theory defines how we trust and connect
- Mimetic Theory reveals we desire what others model
Which means this:
People aren’t broken.
They’re programmed.
And leaders who understand that don’t just fix problems—
they rebuild people from the inside out.
Because when people feel cared for, they commit.
When they commit, they engage.
When they engage, performance follows.
So the real question is:
Are you using people…
or are you building them?
This is an Hour of Power for leaders ready to stop chasing outcomes and start leading what actually drives them.

Why are you where you are right now?
Luck? Circumstances? Other people?
Or something deeper?
On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black breaks down one of the most misunderstood truths in life and leadership: causality. Every effect has a cause. Every cause becomes part of a chain. And your life today is the result of that chain—built one decision at a time.
But here’s where it gets dangerous:
Humans are wired to connect dots… even when they shouldn’t be connected.
This episode tackles the concept of spurious correlations—when we assume something caused an outcome simply because it happened at the same time. Like blaming the wrong source, missing the real issue, and building beliefs on faulty conclusions.
Because if your beliefs are built on false connections…
your decisions will be too.
Mr. Black walks through:
- The Law of Causality and the Chain of Causation
- Why choices → consequences → habits → character → destiny
- How false cause fallacies distort thinking and behavior
- Why examining your life is the starting point of real leadership
This episode also zooms out to a broader cultural level—exploring patterns, pressures, and narratives that have shaped how people think, especially around identity, purpose, and responsibility.
Because leadership starts internally.
Not with position.
Not with titles.
But with the ability to examine your thinking, challenge your beliefs, and take ownership of the next decision.
You are not defined by the chain that brought you here.
But you are responsible for the next link.
So the question becomes:
What are you choosing next?
This is an Hour of Power for anyone ready to think clearly, lead intentionally, and stop living on autopilot.
Because when you change the cause…
you change the outcome.

Change doesn’t start with effort.
It starts with awareness.
On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black dives into the first and most critical step of transformation: awakening—the moment you finally see what’s been there all along.
Awakening is not the change itself.
It’s the realization that change is necessary.
It’s the moment where:
- You see the gap between who you are and who you could be
- You recognize patterns that are holding you back
- You feel the weight of staying the same
- You become ready to take responsibility
Joined by John Whaley, Chief of Staff at Prayer of the Heart, this episode connects personal awakening with something bigger—a call for a national and spiritual awakening.
With declining faith, rising anxiety, and a culture drifting from truth, the need is clear:
awakening isn’t optional—it’s urgent.
This episode unpacks the full 4-stage transformation process:
- Awakening – You see what must change
- Unlearning – You release what no longer serves you
- Repatterning – You build new habits and thinking
- Integration – You live from a new identity and purpose
Because transformation isn’t random—it follows a pattern.
You’ll also explore the core components of awakening:
- Awareness
- Disruption
- Conviction
- Desire
- Responsibility
And the real question becomes:
Are you willing to see?
Are you willing to change?
Are you willing to be awakened?
This is an Hour of Power for anyone who knows there’s more—but hasn’t fully stepped into it yet.
Because once you see it…
you can’t unsee it.
And once you’re awakened…
everything changes.

Here’s a truth most people resist… until life proves it:
You need help.
On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black reframes what it means to be a helper—and why needing help is not weakness… it’s design.
From the story of creation to modern-day life, the message is consistent:
God never intended for people to operate alone. He created “ezer kenegdo”—a helper of strength, a corresponding partner—not as an assistant, but as a force that brings what is missing.
This episode unpacks the deeper meaning of “helper”:
- Not subordinate… but essential strength
- Not optional… but mission-critical
- Not passive… but active, present, and powerful
Mr. Black connects this truth across Scripture and real life:
- God as our helper—provider, protector, and sustainer
- The Holy Spirit as Paraclete—guide, counselor, and advocate
- Relationships as reinforcement—not replacement, but completion
From a simple app where strangers help the blind navigate everyday life… to leadership, marriage, community, and faith—this episode makes one thing clear:
We all need helpers.
Because isolation is not strength.
Independence is not the goal.
And no one succeeds alone.
This is also a challenge:
Are you willing to receive help?
Are you willing to be help?
Are you showing up as someone who strengthens others—or someone who isolates?
Like It Matters isn’t just a radio show—it’s a system of support: training, coaching, community, and connection. Because transformation doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens in relationship.
You were never meant to carry it all.
You were built to walk it out—with others.
Inspiration. Education. Application.

You were never meant to do life alone.
On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black takes on one of the most urgent and overlooked crises of our time: disconnection. In a world filled with digital noise and surface-level relationships, people are more connected than ever… yet more isolated than ever.
Drawing from John Donne’s timeless truth—“No man is an island”—this episode reminds us of something we’ve forgotten:
your life is tied to other lives.
What affects one… affects all.
Mr. Black breaks down the reality of today’s loneliness epidemic—where people aren’t just alone, they’re questioning whether they matter at all. When connection fades, trust fades. And when trust fades, everything else begins to fracture—relationships, communities, and culture itself.
But this isn’t just a diagnosis. It’s a call to rebuild.
This episode explores:
- Why humans are wired for connection and belonging
- How loneliness impacts mental, emotional, and even physical health
- Why trust is the foundation of every healthy relationship and system
- How real connection—not surface interaction—restores purpose
Through a deeply personal story of loss, Mr. Black brings this message out of theory and into reality—reminding listeners that people are not just important… they are everything.
Because here’s the truth:
People are the problem.
And people are the solution.
You were made for relationship—both vertical and horizontal.
You are part of something bigger.
And your life matters more than you think.
This is an Hour of Power for anyone who feels disconnected, overlooked, or alone—and a challenge to leaders to rebuild connection, restore trust, and invest in people again.
Because when one of us suffers, we all feel it.
And when one of us rises, we all benefit.
Inspiration. Education. Application.

If everything in life comes down to people…
then here’s the truth most leaders miss:
It matters how you lead them.
On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black breaks down the core of leadership through one central idea:
People are the ultimate commodity.
Not replaceable.
Not transactional.
But the driving force behind culture, performance, and legacy.
This episode connects four powerful frameworks that explain how people actually work:
- Hebb’s Law – repeated experiences wire the brain
- Mimetic Theory – people imitate what they see and desire
- Social Learning Theory – behavior is modeled and reinforced
- Attachment Theory – trust and connection shape performance
Put simply:
People are shaped by what they experience, what they see, and who they’re connected to.
That’s why leadership isn’t a title—it’s a loop.
Mr. Black introduces the PEC framework:
- Permission – your actions give others permission to act
- Example – what you model speaks louder than what you say
- Culture – the environment reinforces what becomes normal
Because people are always watching.
And what you do is what gets repeated.
This episode also challenges listeners to move beyond survival and success into significance—a life built not around self, but around others. A life where you operate as:
- A Warrior – fighting for what matters
- A Leader – setting the standard others follow
- A Conduit – pouring into others, not just storing for yourself
Leadership is not about you.
It’s about who you’re building, lifting, and multiplying.
This episode also features a timely conversation with Ray Moore of the Exodus Mandate Project, addressing the growing tension around homeschooling and the role of parents, government, and belief systems in shaping the next generation.
Because at the end of the day:
Better people create better culture.
Better culture creates better outcomes.
And that only happens when leaders understand…
It matters.

You don’t need more time.
You need to recognize the time you’re already in.
On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black breaks down the difference between Chronos and Kairos:
- Chronos is the ticking clock
- Kairos is the appointed moment
And here’s the shift:
You were not dropped randomly into time.
You were placed into a Kairos moment—a divinely timed intersection where your gifts, your story, and your calling collide with purpose.
This is not just another day.
This is your moment.
Mr. Black challenges listeners to confront the reality that everything we do—or don’t do—is driven by our belief systems. If your thinking is off, your life will follow. But when your mind is renewed, everything changes.
This episode connects:
- Neuroscience (how the brain rewires through repetition and meaning)
- NLP (how we code experience and create emotional states)
- Scripture (renewing the mind, guarding the heart, living with purpose)
Because transformation isn’t random—it’s structured.
You’ll also be reminded of a powerful truth:
You are not your body.
You are not your brain.
You are a spirit, designed with intention, wired for purpose, and called for impact.
Mr. Black brings it home with a clear leadership mandate:
If you want to lead, succeed, and make an impact—
you must get into the people business.
Because the greatest asset, the greatest cost, and the greatest opportunity in life…
is people.

Life is a series of decisions. Some are easy. Some are painful. Some feel impossible. But one truth remains: not choosing is still a choice.
On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black confronts the power—and danger—of indecision. While having choices is often a blessing, too many options can create confusion, fear, and paralysis. Add in FOMO, past trauma, negative self-talk, and doubt, and many people end up stuck on the fence instead of stepping forward.
This episode explores the reality that Scripture often presents life in simple contrasts:
life or death…
blessing or curse…
light or darkness…
the narrow path or the wide road.
You can’t live in two opposing realities at the same time. Eventually, a decision must be made.
Mr. Black also examines how each person is uniquely wired with different strengths through the lens of Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences—reminding listeners that leadership, intelligence, and influence show up in many forms. The key is recognizing your design and committing fully to your path.
Through powerful stories—from Darwin’s encounter with Jemmy Button to the leadership legend of “burning the boats”—this episode illustrates what happens when people remove the option to retreat and commit completely to purpose.
Because breakthrough moments in life often come down to a single decision:
drawing a line in the sand and saying, “I’m all in.”
Success doesn’t appear automatically.
Cows don’t give milk without work.
Rocks don’t split without repeated blows.
Dreams don’t chase you—you pursue them.
The leaders who change their lives—and the world around them—are the ones who choose, commit, and refuse to turn back.
Inspiration. Education. Application.

Every leader talks about vision. Few actually define it.
On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black challenges listeners to examine whether their vision is truly clear—or just wishful thinking. Real vision begins with three simple but powerful questions:
- Where am I now?
If you don’t know your starting point, you can’t chart a course. * Where am I going?
What does the destination look like, sound like, and feel like? * What will it take to get there?
Every outcome requires steps, disciplines, and habits to move from Point A to Point B.
This episode explores how leaders define success, how identity shapes direction, and why purpose must anchor vision. You’ll also unpack the difference between operating from a Fear Operating System (FOS) or a Growth Operating System (GOS)—the internal framework that gives meaning to every decision.
Mr. Black connects vision with practical transformation tools, including:
- The four stages of change: Awakening, Unlearning, Repatterning, and Integration
- The four laws of behavior change from Atomic Habits
- The leadership mindset of the 5 P’s Warrior: Peaceful, Powerful, Present, Purposeful, and People-centric
Because vision without systems becomes frustration.
And vision without identity becomes drift.
Leadership starts with knowing:
Who you are.
Why you are here.
What your purpose is.
And whose you are.
When those questions are answered, vision becomes clear—and action becomes inevitable.
Inspiration. Education. Application.

What if the problem was never that you weren’t smart enough…
but that you were measured by the wrong standard?
On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black confronts one of the deepest identity wounds in our culture: the belief that we are “not enough.” Not intelligent enough. Not gifted enough. Not qualified enough.
It’s time for a paradigm shift.
Moving from the traditional IQ mindset—where intelligence is fixed, narrow, and test-based—to the MIQ reality rooted in Dr. Howard Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences. There aren’t one or two ways to be smart. There are at least eight distinct intelligences—linguistic, logical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic—and every person carries a unique combination.
The question is not how smart are you?
The question is how are you smart?
This episode explores:
- The shift from fixed intelligence to developmental capacity
- Why standardized testing misses the uniqueness of the individual
- The connection between brain development and fingerprint formation
- How each brain lobe corresponds to distinct cognitive strengths
- Why identity must precede performance
At the core of this message is Imago Dei—the truth that you are created in the image of God. Leadership does not begin with titles, platforms, or applause. It begins with identity.
The world says: earn your worth.
God says: you were created with it.
Through biblical “eschatological reversal,” Scripture shows a pattern: the weak are chosen, the overlooked are elevated, ashes become beauty, and what the world calls worthless Heaven calls gold.
This is not motivational hype.
This is identity alignment.
Einstein struggled in traditional classrooms but changed physics.
Michael Jordan was cut before he became legendary.
Oprah had no elite credentials but built an empire through relational intelligence.
Different wiring. Same truth.
More than enough.
You are not defined by a score, a label, or a past failure.
You are uniquely designed—with purpose in your patterns.
Stand in the mirror and declare it:
“I am smart enough. I know myself. I never give up.”
This is a leadership episode about identity, intelligence, and unlocking the potential already wired within you.
Because when you live your life like it matters… it does.

What made Jesus the most transformational leader in history?
It wasn’t volume.
It wasn’t position.
It wasn’t force.
It was mastery of language, story, pattern, and identity.
On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black breaks down the literary and pedagogical tools of Jesus—the teaching methods that didn’t just inform minds, but transformed hearts.
From parables and metaphor…
to shock reversals and rhetorical questions…
to hyperbole, contrast, and narrative indirection…
Jesus didn’t argue people into change—He led them into self-discovery.
You’ll explore powerful frameworks including:
- The pattern of transformation—“Unless a seed dies…”
- The 5 Pillars of Transformation: Identity, Mindset, Habits, Relationships, and Purpose
- How patterns shape emotion and behavior
- Why leaders must see the pattern beneath the problem
This episode also confronts one of the most misunderstood words in our culture: love. Not sentimental feeling. Not fragile emotion. But sacrificial action. Jesus demonstrated a kind of love that often offended before it healed, corrected before it comforted, and confronted before it restored.
Because love is not defined by how it is received—
but by its truth and its intent.
You’ll be challenged to consider:
- Are you reacting to problems… or decoding patterns?
- Are you leading from identity… or from insecurity?
- Are your words shaping minds… or just filling space?
True leaders understand this:
You don’t respond to the stimulus.
You respond to your story about the stimulus.
Change the story.
Change the state.
Change the behavior.
Change the outcome.
This is leadership at the level of identity, language, and transformation.
Because leaders who see problems stay frustrated.
Leaders who see patterns change the world.

If we’re all in the people business, then every leader needs to ask one question:
What tools are in your toolbox?
On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black unpacks the science and structure behind human behavior, motivation, and transformation. After nearly 34 years in the human potential field, he makes it clear:
Nobody is broken.
We are programmed.
People run patterns—of thought, emotion, belief, and identity. And leaders who understand those patterns don’t just manage behavior… they transform it.
This episode weaves together powerful frameworks including:
- Hebb’s Law – Neurons that fire together wire together
- Social Learning Theory – People model what they see
- Mimetic Theory – We imitate what we desire
- Attachment Theory – Secure relationships shape performance
- NLP patterning – Change the “how,” and the outcome changes
You’ll also explore the deeper layers of transformation—Environment, Behavior, Capabilities, Beliefs, Identity, and Purpose—and why identity is the ultimate leadership superpower.
If a pattern can be seen, it can be changed.
If it can be changed, it can be repeated.
If it can be repeated, it becomes a new reality.
This episode equips leaders with practical insight to move, influence, and grow people from the inside out.

There are only three options in life: lead, follow, or get out of the way.
So here’s the real question—what type of leader are you becoming?
On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black goes straight at the heart of leadership: not titles, not positions, but the ability to move people. Leadership isn’t about control—it’s about motivation. About influence. About what moves others when pressure rises and culture shifts.
This episode begins in the space between—that critical moment between stimulus and response where decisions are made, identity is revealed, and leadership either forms… or fractures. Mr. Black explores how drift happens quietly, how leaders lose clarity inch by inch, and why the leaders who last are the ones who anchor themselves before the pressure hits.
You’ll be challenged to examine:
- What leadership actually is—and what it isn’t
- Why every movement (good or destructive) has leaders behind it
- How drift rewrites identity if it goes unchecked
- The difference between Drift Leaders and Anchor Leaders
Mr. Black breaks down five core leadership styles—Prophetic, Restorative, Transformational, Servant, and Transactional—highlighting their strengths, their shadows, and when each one matters most. He also connects transformational leadership directly to biblical discipleship, showing why inner change is the only path to lasting impact.
This episode dives deep into the neuroscience, psychology, and spiritual reality of drift—how repetition reshapes the brain, how compromise becomes normal, and how identity becomes the only true immunity against manipulation and pressure.
The message is clear:
Leaders who don’t know who they are will drift.
Leaders who do know who they are become anchors.
This is an Hour of Power for anyone willing to look honestly at their influence, their convictions, and the kind of leader they are becoming—whether they realize it or not.
Because leadership isn’t optional.
You’re already influencing someone.
The question is: what are you leading them toward?

What happens when the world keeps drifting… and someone refuses to move?
On this intense and timely episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black confronts the growing decay and confusion we see in our cities, our homes, and especially in our men. This episode makes one thing clear: the breakdown in leadership didn’t happen all at once—it happened inch by inch.
Through powerful metaphors like the Camel’s Nose in the Tent, the Boiling Frog, and the slow pull of cultural drift, Mr. Black exposes how small compromises quietly erode identity, conviction, and courage over time. What begins as “just a little change” becomes a complete loss of direction.
At the heart of the episode is a gripping spoken-word message, “The One Who Would Not Be Moved,” built around a defining leadership truth: when you know who you are, why you are here, and WHOSE you are, you become unmovable—even when everything around you is shifting.
This episode weaves together leadership principles, social learning theory, neuroscience, and biblical truth to explain not only how things have gone wrong—but how they can be made right. Mr. Black challenges listeners to see themselves honestly: we are both part of the problem and part of the solution.
The choice is unavoidable:
Drift or anchor.
Run or fight.
Disappear—or stand.
A warrior in a wheelchair isn’t defined by strength, speed, or position, but by conviction. In a culture sliding toward chaos, the leaders who refuse to move are the ones who help others stand.
This is an Hour of Power for those who feel the pressure, recognize the drift, and know it’s time to reclaim identity, draw a line, and lead with purpose.
Because if not you—then who?
If not now—then when?

On today’s Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black takes on one of the most misunderstood leadership traits: flexibility.
Using the Marines’ battle cry “Semper Fi”—Always Faithful—Mr. Black introduces a lesser-known but equally critical leadership principle: Semper Gumby—Always Flexible. Great leaders know when to adapt, when to pause, and when to pivot… but they also know when not to move an inch.
Drawing from Dr. Viktor Frankl’s powerful insight—“Between the stimulus and the response there is a space. In that space is our power and our freedom”—Mr. Black challenges listeners to examine how they respond under pressure and what that reveals about their leadership.
This episode explores the core existential questions every leader must answer:
- Who am I?
- Whose am I?
- Why am I here?
- What will I never compromise?
Through the lens of Social Learning Theory, Mr. Black reminds us that leaders are always being watched. People don’t just hear what we say—they model what we do. That makes understanding influence, example, and integrity non-negotiable.
Mr. Black is joined by Kelsey Pritchard of the Susan B. Anthony Foundation for a timely and direct conversation about one of those leadership “lines in the sand”: the Hyde Amendment—where flexibility ends and conviction must stand firm.
This is an Hour of Power for leaders who want both wisdom and backbone—who know when to bend and when to stand.
Because who you are matters.
And it’s time to LIVE like it matters.

What if 2026 isn’t about playing it safe…
What if it’s about expansion?
On this powerful episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black introduces The Jabez Way—a bold, faith-driven challenge to step out of comfort, stop shrinking your calling, and start living with greater responsibility, courage, and impact .
Drawing from 1 Chronicles 4:10, Mr. Black breaks down the Prayer of Jabez—not as a feel-good verse, but as a dangerous prayer for leaders who are ready for more. More influence. More territory. More accountability. More of God’s hand on their life.
This episode connects biblical truth, leadership psychology, and neuroscience to ask a confronting question:
Are you asking God to bless you… or are you prepared to steward the blessing?
You’ll hear:
- Why leadership is always about people, not positions
- How uniqueness is not a flaw—but the key to your effectiveness
- Why identity-level change is the only change that lasts
- How expansion always comes with responsibility
- Why pain can make you bitter… or better (just one letter apart)
Mr. Black also delivers The Jabez Declaration for 2026—a bold, prophetic affirmation for those ready to think bigger, believe deeper, and walk into new territory without apology.
If you’ve felt stretched, restless, or stirred for more…
If you know you weren’t created for small thinking or safe living…
If you’re ready to move from Bitter to Better…
This episode is for you.
Enjoy today’s Inspiration, Education, and Application on Like It Matters Radio—because when you expand your thinking, you expand your life… and when you live like it matters—it does.

Are you stuck in that weird, in-between stretch… where the holidays are over, the New Year’s confetti is gone, and reality hits you with: Alright… now what?
Perfect.
Because that “space between” isn’t empty.
It’s a launching pad.
On today’s Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black brings a high-impact “Hour of Power” built for people who know they’re made for more—but need their mind, identity, and direction locked in for 2026.
This episode is called “Call Me Esther Noah” for a reason.
Esther was called for a specific moment in history.
Noah built when it was late in the game, when it didn’t make sense, and when nobody understood it.
So here’s the question:
What if you’re both?
What if 2026 is your moment to stop hesitating and start building what God put in you?
Mr. Black pulls back the curtain on why the world keeps obsessing over differences—and why that’s a trap. Because scientifically, human beings are 99.9% identical, and it’s the tiny 0.1% that makes you unrepeatable. Your gifts. Your wiring. Your strengths. Your voice. Your “Only You.”
And if you’ve been doubting yourself, shrinking back, or letting old labels define you… Mr. Black is going straight for the root:
Your beliefs shape your identity.
Your identity shapes your behavior.
And identity-level change changes everything.
You’ll learn:
- The Logical Levels of Change (why you can’t fix identity problems with behavior tweaks)
- The 4 Laws of Behavior Change (how to build new habits that actually stick)
- The Stages of Change Model (how real transformation happens—step by step)
This is not hype. This is structure.
This is faith + mindset + leadership science.
And it’s designed to help you step into 2026 with clarity, courage, and traction.
So if you’re ready for a NEW YOU, a NEW DIRECTION, and a NEW DEDICATION…
press play.
Because when you live 2026 like it matters… it does.

Happy New Year! There’s a space between the old and the new… and that space is where your power lives.
On today’s episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black kicks off 2026 with a message of new beginnings, fresh perspective, and real momentum. If you’ve been carrying old patterns, old pain, or old distractions into a brand-new year, this episode will challenge you to mind the gap and step forward with purpose.
Mr. Black breaks down why the battle is in the mind, why leaders must ask themselves the right questions, and why 2026 must become a year of understanding: understanding yourself, understanding others, and understanding how real change actually happens.
From Viktor Frankl’s “space between stimulus and response,” to faith-driven leadership, to the science of habits and behavior change, this episode lays the foundation for what could become your strongest year yet.

Today on a very special bonus episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black is joined by Philip C. Parrish, a former Naval Intelligence Officer, national security expert, lifelong Minnesotan, and Republican candidate for Governor of Minnesota. Together they talk about what’s been uncovered, what it reveals about leadership and accountability, and why Philip believes it’s time for a serious course correction.
This episode will challenge you, inform you, and remind you that real change starts when people stop ignoring the problems and start demanding better.

With December 25th behind us on the calendar what do we do with Christmas?
Where did all the tidings of Joy, giving to those in need, and the desire for more Jesus go?
Christmas is a way, not a day, it is Yahweh!
Today, on Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black wants to encourage listeners to stay in the Christmas Spirit. Christmas is a WAY, not a DAY, it is YAHWEH! People need HOPE and HEAT no matter the time of year. We live in a dark, bitter, and self-absorbed world. There are wars, and death, there are marriages and divorces, there is sickness and health. There are good people doing bad things, and there are healthy people taking their lives because of feelings of despair. Helpless and Hopeless, war ravaging our families, our communities and our countries. God sent His Son to HEAL and to SAVE. As followers of Jesus, we get to be his hands and his feet, throughout the year, not just December 24-25 of each year. On today’s Hour of Power, Mr. Black will be joined by Michael Johnson President of the Slavic Gospel Association, with a focus on the children of Ukraine. Listeners today will be inspired and will be entertained, but they will also be called to stay in the Christmas Spirit and to bring some Heat and Hope to the children of Ukraine, to our fellow citizens and to our families! Enjoy today’s Inspiration, Education and Application as Mr. Black encourages listeners to stay in the Christmas Spirit and remember: Christmas is NOT a day, it is a WAY, it is YAHWEH!

It is Christmas time. The Holidays are upon us, with get togethers, treats, parties, lights, and music. For many there is also sadness, loss, fear, and loneliness. What does every human being WANT, and NEED this Holiday celebration? CHRISTMAS FLOW. ‘The Psychology of Optimal Experience; FLOW’, was written by Hungarian American psychologist, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. He defines flow as a state of complete immersion in an activity where time seems to disappear, the ego fades, and the experience itself becomes deeply rewarding. Consider the benefits of getting into a CHRISTMAS FLOW. Flow requires attention and presence. Christmas spirit requires slowing down and noticing blessings. Flow is about intrinsic reward. Christmas spirit is about relational reward; love, hope, and belonging. Flow dissolves the ego. Christmas spirit dissolves self-sufficiency, reminding us of the Savior who carries our burdens. Today’s HOUR OF POWER is inspirational, educational and applicational. Listen and be moved to get into a CHRISTMAS FLOW- your family deserves it! Merry Christmas Flow!

Did you create a budget for Christmas?
Do you know what you are going to get the people in your life?
What is it going to cost you?
What is your budget, your economy?
What is God’s economy?
Today, on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black wants you to consider your economy, your frame for the season, and your operating system. What needs to happen for you to look back and consider this holiday season, a “GOOD” or a “bad” Christmas? The Bible tells us it is more blessed to receive than to give. Neuroscience backs up this Biblical truth. When we give our brains release Oxytocin, the bonding hormone- it builds connection. When we give, we also release dopamine, the joy chemical, and we lower Cortisol, the stress hormone. Yet, how many people are worn-out after Christmas from the rushing, the worrying, the purchasing and the mortgaging of our future, based on some traditions of men. Listeners will consider their gifts, their heart, and their operating system. Today’s hour of power is designed to get your heart and your mind on the true reason of the season.

Do you ever wonder why it is so hard to change?
Have you ever wondered why even after you committed to change, you struggle?
Today on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black is going to cover the structure and power of our Belief Systems. Everything we do, or do not do, is driven by a belief. Your brain is not fixed. Your beliefs are not permanent. Your paradigm should not be a prison! A paradigm is a pattern of thinking, a system of lower-level beliefs that construct a structure that has power to build or destroy, to construct or to destruct! Listeners of today’s hour of power will receive an understanding of some of the WHYs and HOWs of what we do.
Mr. Black will go over the logical levels of change- the structure of our experience. Listeners will hear about Viktor Frankl, Alfred Adler, Robert Dilts, and Donald Hebb. Listeners will learn about Neuro Linguistic Programming, Neuroscience, paradigms and the structure of beliefs. Mr. Black will also be joined by a graduate of Leadership Awakening from 3 years ago, who talks about the change that happened in class 3 years ago and that has grown into an incredibly changed life! Mr. Black will share his expertise of working in the human potential field for over 32 years. Mr. Black says, “if you have a WHY, then all you need is an understanding of the HOW. That is what I bring to you, your people and your organization- the power of People knowledge and People skill”. Tune into Like it Matters Radio for an hour of Power where listeners can expect: Inspiration, Education and Application and reminded- When you live life, LIKE IT MATTERS- it does!

The Bible says, “Without a VISION, people perish.” Vision is the ability to see how things play out. It is almost like seeing into the future, and understanding the chain of causation, the pattern and its proclivities. Life is short, and our focus is too so today’s radio show is a reminder of the proverb: If you don’t know where you are going then any road will take you there. As always today’s show will be Inspirational, Educational and Applicational. Listeners will be challenged emotionally and intellectually with information on topics that matter. Listeners will understand Anthropic principles and constants. Biometric markers and the uniqueness of every human creature. The soundness of Holy Scripture as being critical to the personal growth of every leader because it brings the wisdom of God. All this science and common sense is always wrapped in the physical realities of the world we live in: We live in a fallen world, and that hurting people8 hurt people and lastly, UNDERSTANDING is a difference maker! Tune into Like It Matters Radio for an Hour of Power and Live LIKE IT MATTERS!

Today on Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black wants to get to an understanding. No understanding, NO PEACE. It is not about a pound of flesh, or a record of wrong, it is about understanding. If we are all in the People business, and we are, then we need an understanding of people. “85% of the reason you get a job, keep that job, or advance in that job are due to People skills and people knowledge.” If we are going to be influential with people, then we need to know the struggles and strengths of human experience. One of the struggles with being human, is being fully present Heart, Body and Soul. When we are present, we see people, we have opportunities and we experience life and connection. When we are physically in one place, but emotionally, mentally or psychologically in someplace else we miss people and we do damage. Tune into the hour of power as Mr. Black helps listeners understand people better!

Have you ever struggled with people? Do people confuse you?
Are you afraid of people?
Do you know how to motivate people? Do you care about people?
On todays Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black is going to “Talk about People”. No this is not a gossip session, or a gripe session, this is Inspiration, Education and Application. If you are in the business world, in the world of ministry or NOT LIVING on a deserted island- then people are a key to your life and your success. WE need to understand how to move, mold, and motivate people since they are the purpose of our existence. We were created for relationships: Vertical with God and horizontal with people. For those who believe in the personal God of the Bible, then you will be judged based on what you did with the people that Yahweh put in your life. People are the reason we lead, they’re the heartbeat of every mission, the soul of every vision. They’re not the side note, they’re the headline. People are the why behind the what, the fuel behind the fire, the purpose behind the plan. You don’t build organizations, you build people who build organizations, who make your equipment, who impact your customers. Tune into Like It Matters Radio and let’s talk about people- Like IT Matters!

Life and Art both exist as battlefields. IN the fiend of human development, there is a battle between the OLD patterns and the NEW patterns. WE have habits, and ruts, we have patterns and traditions of men, we have growth and we have stagnation. This is the process of living life- LIKE IT MATTERS. Everyone is unique and created for something unique. Just as our fingerprints, DNA, our gate, our voice, our trauma, drama and family of origin issues are different- so too is our understanding of our GOOD FIGHT. We all have a unique purpose. Today, on Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black wants to get listeners stirred up in a fighting spirit. Not to fight against people, or with Guns or hardware, but to FIGHT our GOOD FIGHT. Who are you? Why are you here? How will you know if you have been successful on this part of your journey? How do you want people to remember you? ON today’s Hour of Power, Mr. Black is going to remind you that you are a soldier, and you have a good fight. On September 30th, the FDA quietly approved a new generic version of the Abortion Kill Pill mifepristone. It blocks progesterone which starves the baby to death inside the mother’s womb. The drug is produced by Evita Solutions, a company that describes its mission as being to “normalize abortion” and make it “accessible to all.” Join Mr. Black as he is joined by Kelsey Pritchard, the Director of Political Communications for Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, as they lay the foundation for a basic concept; What is worth fighting for? Listeners will also hear from Todd Nettleton host of The Voice of the Martyrs Radio. Todd serves as a voice for persecuted Christians, inspiring Christians with the faithfulness of Christ’s followers in 70+ nations where they face persecution for wearing the name of JESUS. What is your Good Fight? Listen in and be moved to make a difference, like IT MATTERS!

What business are you in?
I am not asking you how you make your money, but what do you consider your type of business to be?
When Jesus walked this planet, he was about His Fathers business. So today, Mr. Black is asking, what is your business about, what business are you in?
Today’s Like It Matters Radio is all about The People Business. No matter where you think your money comes from, might we suggest that we are all in the people business. On today’s hour of power Mr. Black wants listeners to understand that whether you are a CEO, a janitor, a pastor, or even a salesperson- we are ALL in the People Business. If you are in the car business you know cars, if you are in the computer business you know computers- we are all in the People business. Because of this importance, we should know people. We should know what moves, motivates, shuts down, inspires, turns off, or turns on PEOPLE- this is what we need to understand and master. Today, Mr. Black will be joined by Adrian Cano CEO of the Spartan group of businesses. Spartan is in the construction business, steel fabrication and building large structures. Adrian is also a child of God and a developer of people. Listeners will gain much insight from today’s conversation between CEO Cano and Mr. Black. When you understand you are in the People business then you can live your life like it matters, Inspiration, Education and Application!

**Today's Like It Matters Radio episode is about power, it is about truth, it is about the purpose of our existence in this body currently. Charlie Kirk reminded us that the way we live our lives is the way we will die! No one knows the day of their last breath, unless they choose to take their own life. When many people die, it was just an ordinary day, that something extraordinary took place- they transitioned to the next phase of our journey.
On today’s ‘Hour of Power’ Mr. Black will be joined by Joe Willey, Sat-7’s VP of marketing and Communications. You will learn about the POWER OF THE AIR and how it can be used for good and for GOD! Today you will learn about Peace and Conflict and how Mercy and Truth kiss!
What if the only way you were to ever know about Christianity, Jesus and Christians was from your Muslim traditions? Imagine a force, so powerful that you could beam truth in without threat of censorship, distortion or the thought-police arresting you? How would you ever know about Jesus the Messiah, if you were in a world where Christianity was looked down upon or even illegal?
Tune into Like It Matters Radio and find the answers to all those questions and get some hope! You will also get some spoken words and poetry from The Blackman! Inspiration, education and application are all on the menu today- Like IT Matters!**

Do you know what time it is? What are you doing with your time? Death has a way of humbling we humans. We feel almost invincible when we are younger, feeling like we will live forever, then tragedy strikes. In times of tragedy, we are reminded of our temporal nature. When Charlie Kirk was assassinated, many people were taken aback. Paul Fineman of ESPN was driven to re-valuate his entire life and is getting ready to make a drastic career move. What are you doing with your time? We all have a limited time, and we will be held accountable for what we do with our time. Today on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black wants us to become aware of our personal eschatology. How is your personal Leadership? How are you leading your life, what impact are you making? When we live our lives like they matter, then we die, LIKE IT MATTERED! It is written; It is appointed for man to die one time and then comes the judgement. Tune into Like It Matters Radio so you can live your life to someday hear the words; “Well done my good and faithful servant!” The Time is Now!

The age-old question is, “What is Leadership?” “Leadership is the echo of your values in the lives of those you serve. Leadership is the art of moving hearts and moving hands. Leadership is the courage to go first—and the wisdom to bring others with you.” Not only is WHAT IS leadership an important question, but what TYPE OF LEADERSHIP should I be implementing? Look at America’s last 2 Leaders and how different their styles are: Biden and Trump. Both moved the country for 4 years, and each had his own style and own outcomes. Today, on the HOUR OF POWER, Mr. Black will be joined by author Jordan Ames. These 2 Leaders will talk about Jordan’s new book, “Red Letter Leadership; Leadership Lessons from the Life of Christ.” Mr. Black will answer the questions on what leadership is, what are important leadership qualities and what type of Leadership should we us? You will also hear great interaction between 2 men that have led many into many battles. You will be moved to action by this powerful radio show. Inspiration, Education and Application are on the menu for listeners! Reminding all, When you Live your Life Like It Matters- It Does!!

Today on Like It Matters Radio we are asking the question, “Who are my people?”. It was Dr. Martin Luther King who lived and died for the Dream; “I have a dream! That one day my 4 little children will live in a nation where they are not judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. I have a dream today!” On April 4, 1968, as he stood on the second-floor balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee, he was assassinated! Well less than 60 years from his death, we have assassinated his dream as well. Today we seem to be all wrapped up in color again. Racism is openly government sponsored today. All that matters is one’s skin color to determine how justice is meaded out, who gets free money, good schools and sympathy and empathy. All we did was switch colors. White used to be good, and Black was not good. Nowadays, Black is the color of a victim and white is the color of a persecutor. The only thing that has changed is the preferred color. For those who don’t ‘group’ identify, this show is for you. Who are your people? If you are not wrapped up in skin color and which bathroom someone uses, then how do you identify “your people”? Jesus addressed this in a home in Capernaum, when he said, “Who is my Mother, and who is my brother, but he or she who does the will of my Father, that is my mother and that is my brother.
Today on this hour of power Mr. Black will be joined by Joel Hillary. Joel has a podcast called, “The Jesus Magnet”. Joel is a follower of the risen King, he is a New Zealander who lives and missions in Thailand- Joel is my people. Listeners will be moved as he shares the stories and the power of the people he interviews and share incredible stories. Inspiration, Education and Application- that is what is on the menu for our People, those who want to be more and use Like It Matters Radio as a source of growth and encouragement!

Today, on Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black wants listeners to consider three words: Sympathy, Empathy and Compassion. These three words are on a continuum of emotional involvement. These three words are progression, a building up to the point of doing something to ease the pain. Sympathy is recognizing someone’s suffering and feeling sorry for them. Empathy is ‘walking a mile’ in someone else’s shoes and feeling what they feel. Compassion is empathy with a desire to help or make things right. Where are you on the spectrum? In an America that wants us to focus on the differences, do you have pity, have understanding, or take action to ease others’ pain? Sympathy is the first step it opens the heart. Empathy builds bridges- it connects us to others’ pain. Compassion transforms- it moves from guilt and pity to growth and help. This is what Jesus said when He said, ‘When I was in prison you visited me, when I was hungry you gave me something to eat, and when I was thirsty you gave me drink.” On today’s hour of Power Mr. Black is going to stir up some compassion for those less fortunate than ourselves, with a primary focus on people behind bars! Inspiration, Education and Application are on the menu for listeners to todays Radio Show.

Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, at approximately 12:23 p.m. Mountain Time, while speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. He was in the middle of a live event for his “American Comeback Tour,” engaging in a public Q&A session under a tent labeled “Prove Me Wrong.” Just moments after responding to a student’s question, a single shot was fired from a rooftop roughly 200 yards away, striking him in the neck. Today on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black wants us to be mindful that planes crash, and people die- it is a fact of life. None of us know the date of our last breath, unless we take our lives. So naturally, the way we live is the way we will die- and be remembered! As we live a self-examined life the question must be What are you LIVING FOR? And the secondary question is, what is it worth dying for? On today’s hour of Power Mr. Black will not only talk about Charlie but about life. Mr. Black will introduce; Mass Formation, The Tytler Cycle, Sleight of Narrative, Common Sense and 2 great books; Edward Gibbon’s The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and Carl Wilson’s, Our Dance has turned to Death. This show is not just about Charlie Kirk, it is about you, me and America. Tune in and be inspired to speak your truth and to do so boldly and courageously!

Today’s hour of power is about being “ALL IN”. All in is about being fully committed, and ON FIRE, with Passion! Commitment and Passion are the real, difference makers. Mr. Black will ask listeners to consider are the FULLY COMMITTED or whether they are just participating. We are encouraged to live an examined life, as we seek to find the purpose of our existence. God is looking for people who are fully committed! On today’s Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black will use the book by Walter A. Henrichsen titled, “Many Aspire, few attain”. It is about being ALL IN for the Kingdom and our Lord, Jesus. When you're fully committed, distractions lose their grip. Your energy isn't scattered across competing priorities—it's channeled like a laser. That kind of focus breeds excellence. “All in” people don’t quit when it gets hard. They adapt, learn, and push through. Commitment creates emotional stamina, which is often the real currency of success. Join Mr. Black as he takes listeners on a journey of introspection and hope as he challenges them to BE ALL IN! Tune into this powerful hour as Mr. Black has listeners consider whether they are a chicken or a pig! Oink, oink!

Today’s Podcast is a SPECIAL PODCAST- There are children in dire need of our help! It is written:
Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world. James 1:27.
And just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment. Hebrews 9:27
Today Mr. Black will be joined by Michael Johnson, President of the Slavic Gospel Association. And the focus is on children! With all the heartache of the Ukrainian people it is the children that suffer the most. A staggering 87% of Teenagers who ‘age out’ of orphanages in the war-torn country will fall victim to Sex Trafficking, slavery, organized crime, or even suicide! Please take 20 minutes and listen to the cries for help and be a difference maker! This podcast and your listening have been ordained; For such a time as this! You matter, those children matter, today let us make a difference! Tune in and be moved to action and be the family, and the hands and feet of our Lord to those who have little, or no hope! Their hope is YOU!

Did you know: The United States has a very high incarceration rate compared to many other countries, meaning a larger proportion of its population is held in prisons or jails?
Did you know: As of early 2025, there were around 1.8 million people incarcerated in the US. Do you understand that millions more are in a mental prison and struggling to be ALIVE?
Did you know that the recidivism rate (people who get out of prison and go back inside within 10-years) is over 50%.
However, when we teach people how to think and connect them to a higher purpose those rates drop drastically. Today On Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black wants to go into the 3’s of Prison. Getting the Mind Right, the Heart repaired and the SPIRIT on purpose will reduce or eliminate recidivism. In the Bible three is a complete number, it means God is moving\doing. A triangle is a 3-sided structure. From an engineering perspective, the triangle is inherently the most stable and rigid of the simple geometric polygons, particularly when used in structural frameworks like trusses. It effectively distributes weight and forces along its three sides, preventing bending and deformation. On today’s hour of power Mr. Black will go into the 3’s of Prison and focus in on what we can do to win the battle in the HEART, BODY and SOUL! Be inspired, be educated and be ready to APPLICATE in your personal and professional life!

Mr. Black is back from his yearly mission trip to Sturgis, South Dakota. He is also fresh out of his prison ministry work and ready to INSPIRE and to ask probing questions. Why are so many people struggling to belong and fit in? Why is there so much distance, pain and relationships that are in tatters? Why do many people feel so unloved and underappreciated? Today on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black poses the question, “What is Love?”. It is reminiscent of Pontius Pilate’s question to Jesus, ‘What is Truth?’ The questions are compounding on each other. What is the truth that leads to the love that allows people to function at the highest levels? On today’s hour of power Mr. Black will take his listeners through a couple of stories and the reality that people are the greatest commodity in our lives. When we invest in people and love on people, then we all do better. Why do people go into prisons and serve those less fortunate? Why do people go on mission trips and spend their time and money pouring into other people? Because people matter- we are all in the People business no matter what we do for a living! Tune into Like It Matters Radio for Inspiration, Education and Application! Because, when you live your life like it matters- It does!

There is an old saying, “A picture is worth 1000 words”. The typical human being speaks at 120-150 words per minute- Mr. Black gets to 180. 1 picture of disrespect, non-interest, non-concern, rudeness, lacking love…overrides 6-8 minutes of nonstop dialogue. We now know the mind often prioritizes visual information when it is more salient or relevant to the context. Auditory information can dominate if it is unexpected or emotionally charged. The brain integrates both senses, but visual cues typically have a stronger influence on perception. In ambiguous situations, the mind may rely on visual input to resolve discrepancies between sight and sound. This is why it is important that OUR ACTIONS, what people SEE us do, are so important and so influential. On today’s hour of Power Mr. Black is going to help listeners understand that what they are doing speaks so loudly, that most people aren’t listening to what most people are saying- but they are watching! Inspiration, Education and Application are on the menu for listeners. John MacArthur, Ravi Zecharias, Stories and the Reality and power of Resilience will be on the agenda. Tune in and be moved to be better and to SHOW UP BETTER!

What is the purpose of your life? How do you know how well you are doing? Are you on Course, or are you off course? Do you have a course at all? Today on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black is going to have listeners examine themselves to see if they are still “in it”. What is It? You need to decide! Leadership is the ability to move people. What difference does it make that you were given the gift of life? Today, listeners will be introduced to a man by the name of Genor. This old, gray-haired man that had a deal with God, and kept his commitment intact for over 40 years even without any measurable impact. Leadership is a loop, a pattern and today Mr. Black will share that pattern. Permission, Example and Culture create the acronym, PEC. Our PECs are the strong muscles in the arms; they are the GUNS that many like to brag about. When the SUN is out, the GUNS are out! Your life matters, and when you live like it does- then other lives are impacted for the better! How many people are you bringing with you across the finish line of life? Enjoy today’s hour of power and be inspired to be better and to give more!

Have you noticed the changes in America? Have you seen the breakdown of the family? Do you know how few children grow up with their biological mother and father? Do you understand how critical this one piece of data is? Today on Like it Matters Radio Mr. Black is going to talk about Daddy issues. There is a war on men in this country, and it has been very effective. The liberal media, Democrat party and the “spirit of this world”, has been working to remove masculinity and males, who don’t think they way ‘The World’ wants them to. This is an important issue, and this show is not just for men, it is for us all. This issue has a great effect on women, probably only second to the children. Mr. Black is in Sturgis, SD at the 85th annual Sturgis motorcycle rally. He is there with an organization called FreeBikeWash.com. Michael Bushilla is the founder of this great ministry, and he will be joining Mr. Black to talk about Father issues. It comes down to 2 words: Validation and Affirmation. Validation involves authority and truth. Affirmation, while also positive and supportive, does not inherently carry authority in the same way validation does. Affirmation is often about encouraging or confirming someone’s worth or value, but it can be based on personal opinion or social approval rather than divine truth. Tune into this hour of power and be awakened to the problem and the solution with what is ailing American families!

C.S. Lewis in his book Mere Christianity described hope as a theological value. The Gospel is called GOOD NEWS. America has changed- not for the better. Then when we add death, devastation and the feeling of helplessness from a Natural Disaster, what little hope people still have is diminished. Hope is what the people in the Hill Country in Texas need. On the heels of one of the most catastrophic flooding events in recent U.S. history with now more than 140 confirmed deaths, many still missing and the latest significant flooding in San Saba over the last weekend, Convoy of Hope has helped deliver more than 300,000 lbs. of essential supplies across the Texas Hill Country.
On today’s hour of power there will be a live update from the Hill Country with Mr. Black’s guest. Ethan Forhetz is the National Spokesperson for Convoy of Hope. Convoy of Hope is aiding Families and First Responders in the Texas Hill Country Flooding. Hear about HOPE that is coming to such hopelessness and be reminded of the power of HOPE! Today’s Hour of power is an emotional, and hopeful journey you don’t want to miss. Plus, you can become a HOPE PEDDLER for many who are without- Like they matter, because they do!!

Fortitude and resilience seem to be words of a forgotten Ethos, a long-ago kingdom. Resilience is defined as the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties, the ability of a substance, or object to spring back into shape. Resilience is the ability to cope with and recover from setbacks. Does that sound like anything you know? Like…Life? It has been said, “We cannot control what happens TO US. WE do, however, have absolute control over what happens in us. Today, Mr. Black will be joined by author and friend, Kate Hamberger to promote her new book, “Dances with Fire”. In Dances with Fire, Kate relates the specifics of such infamous fires as the Yellowstone Fires of ’88 and the Dude Fire of ’90. In this riveting memoir, Kate recounts the fires she and her crewmates worked to control while often calling upon their physical reserves to survive. With great honesty and eloquence, she also shares the experience of falling in love, and the missteps made when you realize life has only prepared you for so much. She credits her faith with getting her through times of fear, loneliness, and uncertainty as she becomes a veteran firefighter herself. Today’s listeners will learn how to grow, and it is always, OUTSIDE, our comfort zone!

Two men sit behind bars. One sees mud, the other sees stars. What we remember matters! We are called to NOT keep a ‘record of wrong’, a ‘pound of flesh’. This is important information to understand as a leader, since what we hold onto tends to come back around. Transactional Analysis is the study of Psychology\Communication. Transactional Analysis reminds us that communication is essentially a “stimulus” and then a “response”, that in essence is communication. There is Interpersonal Communication- communication between 2 or more people. There is also Intrapersonal which is the way we talk to ourselves. Today’s show is based on how we talk to ourselves. This self-talk is what causes depression, suicide and most of the angsts of the world that many of us struggle with. The senseless loss of so much in Kerrville, Texas, the pain of other losses and the unfairness of life- causes many people to stuff, stuff, stuff…then snap! Leaders remember the right things. Tune into Like It Matters radio for an hour of power as Mr. Black helps listeners unpack their thoughts and feelings. 2 men sit behind bars. One see mud, the other sees stars.

Today on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black is going to help people understand why we get stuck. Why we struggle emotionally and physically with change. Today’s hour of power is called, ‘Misfiled Past into Future’. We all have a past, we all have a NOW, and we all have a future- although the length of that future is unique to each person. Many people are limiting their future, based on Beliefs, trauma and programming from their past. Everything we do, or do not do, is driven by a belief system. This knowledge of how we work allows us to work effectively through the process of change and growth. Today you will hear from Graduates who have been through the smelters furnace of Mr. Black’s Leadership training that you can read about at www.likeitmatters.net Today is a realization that you are not bound by the past. You are not what happened to you, or what you did in the past! Your life is about how you learn, grow and become a vessel of positive change for others! Because when you live your life like it matters- IT DOES!

Follow the fruit to the ROOT is a powerful way to look at the bi-product of
our lives. The way we live our lives matters to God, and it also matters to
those around us. The Bible is filled with Agricultural metaphors and
analogies because we understand, “What we plant, and water GROWS!”
Names like Nobel, Ghandi, Jesus, Trump, Susan B. Anthony, Trump- have
meaning. When we hear the name, we have things associated with that
name. In the business world we have things like; logos, trademarks,
Copyrights and Patents- because a Picture can be worth 1000 words, and
1 million dollars. How is your brand? If people were to look at the WAKE
of your life, would they see anything? Would there be enough
‘breadcrumbs’ to feed a bird? Would there be a cornucopia of fruit, from
the encounters and impacts you had? On today’s hour of power, Mr. Black
will have listeners consider this existential concept. In the 2 nd half of the
show, Mr. Black will be joined by Kelsey Pritchard Political Affairs
Communications Director for Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America
organization to share some truths about the battle for LIFE and bring a
polemic approach to the time and opportunity we find ourselves in with
regards to correcting a major injustice. Tune in and be reminded; When
you live LIKE IT MATTERS- it does! It is the Way of Warrior!

Today on Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black is going to be talking about Patterns. The focus of today’s hour of Power is the 4 Cs of Leadership. We are shaped by our thinking. The outcomes of our lives cannot be better than our Pattern of thought. It is the patterns in our lives that get us what we are getting! Many patterns are unconscious. It is hard to deal with anything at the unconscious level, so we must bring it into the consciousness so it can be dealt with. Today’s pattern is about staying committed, being productive and handling whatever the world throws at us. In life obstacles are called; Death, disease, doubts about the future based on the past, dire pain, disappointments, depression, devaluing and many delusions. In my training environments obstacles are called, Pontoon boats, acid rivers, spider webs, fire, frustration, and yellow ropes and notes! As a Warrior, I would rather be prepared for a battle that does not take place, rather than not be prepared for one that does! The Pattern that Mr. Black will discuss today is the Pattern from his Leadership Breakthrough 2 class- Leadership Adventure! You will hear from graduates who have just completed the great Adventure and the impact it has made on their lives. Listeners will be introduced to the successful pattern of moving a group of leaders through the ups and downs of business and life. Commitment, Communication, Clear Vision and Consensus, is the Pattern being pushed today! Once those are in place then we add the +1, Consistency. Tune into Like it Matters Radio where listeners are inspired and equipped to LIVE LIKE IT MATTERS- it is the Way of Warrior!

Where are we now, where are we going? Clear Vision is about knowing where your starting point is, what your ending point is and what it is going to take to get to “There” from “here”. What is happening in America is confusing! We seem to be struggling in all aspects of our identity, our activity and what we Believe. Why is America struggling? Because the family is struggling, because marriages are struggling, because the church is struggling and the earth is groaning. Today on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black is going to be joined by J.P. DeGance President of Communio. Communio is a nonprofit ministry that trains and equips churches to share the Gospel through the renewal of healthy relationships, marriages and the family. Join for this critically important and powerful expressed conversation about what is ailing America. J.P will offer insight on the underlying causes of the declining birth rate in America, and the potential impact of a ‘baby bonus’. Mr. Black and Mr. DeGance will also talk about proven strategies for strengthening marriages and families through community and faith-based initiatives. Listeners will also learn about the 5 things that brought down the greatest empire of all, the Roman Empire, to see the similarities with America today. Listeners will also understand the great Kingdoms and how they fall, so we can reverse the trend we are experiencing today. If you want more out of your marriage and for your family, then TUNE IN NOW! Your family is worth it, so LIVE LIFE LIKE IT MATTERS!

Miracle is defined as: a surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the work of a divine agency, an extraordinary event that seems to defy natural laws or to be caused by divine intervention. In George Washingtons first inaugural address, President Washington descripted the word Providence as the ‘Invisible Hand which conducts the affairs of men’. On today’s hour of power Mr. Black will be joined by Author and Political Commentator Michael Medved to discuss the limited release of the new Docudrama The American Miracle. In this new Docudrama that is inspired by Medved’s national best-selling book of the same title. Black and Medved will talk about the rewriting of history and the truth of what really happened 250 years ago. The truth matters and it matters what you believe about America and its origins. There is history, humor, knowledge, interesting facts and as always Mr. Black teaches about the foundational elements that show up in our lives, and how it shows up. You will enjoy todays show and be inspired by what great men did 250 years ago, to allow us to do what we do today. Tune into Like It Matters Radio where you will be reminded of the importance of the truth!! Inspiration, Education and Application.

LIM Radio SPECIAL PODCAST about The American Miracle. Today listeners are blessed because the Father of our Country, General George Washington, will be joining Mr. Black. In celebration of the upcoming 250-year anniversary, Mr. Black called on the God of the universe for an interview with the man who started it all! The American Miracle – Our Nation is No Accident hits the silver screen in 1,000 theaters nationwide Monday, June 9th through Wednesday, June 11th. This 2 hour plus Inspirational and historically relevant movie will stir your spirit and be reminded of the PROVIDENCE of God that inspired the forming of America as an independent nation. Inspired by Michael Medved’s bestseller of the same name- this exciting, entertaining, and edifying motion picture experience was created in anticipation of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The history of the American experiment is a fabric woven of countless instances of improbable, unimaginable events. Miracle is defined as; a surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the work of a divine agency. Americas history, Americas goodness, Americas Founding Fathers have all been under attack by anti-American forces inside of our borders. The Left insists that there’s nothing special about America. But a new docudrama contends that God inspired its founding. Daniel Shippey the Actor who portrays General Washington in this moving docudrama will be in FULL CHARACTER and conduct the entire interaction as George Washington. Tune in for this powerful and inspirational interview that will make you PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!
Special NOTE to Listeners: We are aware of the unfortunate audio connection between General Washington and Mr. Black early in the conversation. He was calling from the 1600’s!

What we water grows. Energy Follows thought. Our eyes and our feet are connected! We move in the direction of our FOCUS, and we FOCUS on the direction of our movement! We are unconscious creatures. So much of what we do is happening below the surface of our conscious thought and effort. However, the effects are just as real, powerful and lasting as those things we do that we are consciously aware of. Today On Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black wants listeners to get the power of our BELIEF SYSTEMS. Everything we do, or DO NOT do, is driven by a belief. Beliefs come from what we think about, and how we frame\process the experiences from our past. Again, many of these BELIEFS and THOUGHTS are happening at the unconscious level- yet having catastrophic outcomes- UP UNTIL NOW. Today Mr. Black will share with listeners the knowledge that leads to application. Topics of discussion for this hour of power are Placebo, Nocebo, Epigenetics, Carolyn Leaf, Bruce Lipton- Biology of Belief. Listeners will also hear a few great stories and some poetry. Tune in and be inspired to live LIFE LIKE IT MATTERS- it is the Way of Warrior!

Today’s Special podcast is from a future show that Mr. Black has yet to air called, ‘Follow the Fruit to the Root’. We all leave a mark; we will be remembered for something. Today’s Podcast is pulled from an hour-long show Mr. Black recorded talking about how our lives will be remembered. It is about understanding the value of our existence based on the FRUIT we produce through our choices and actions. Mr. Black will be joined by Kelsey Pritchard Political Affairs Communications Director for Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America organization to share some truths about the battle for LIFE and bring a polemic approach to the time and opportunity we find ourselves in with regard to correcting a major injustice. Because of the timeliness of this topic, Defunding Planned Parenthood, we chose to air this segment as soon as it was available. Tune in and be reminded; When you live LIKE IT MATTERS- it does! It is the Way of the Warrior!

What is the cost? That is the question we are asking today on Like it Matters Radio. There is usually a cost. I am not talking about a number that is placed on an item that we need to exchange currency to have. This is beyond money. Certain things have a COST that is far greater than money, currency or exchange value. The Freedoms America has had for 100+ years had a cost. The loss of our freedom today has a cost. For many around the world, following Jesus has a cost. Today’s hour of power is talking about that cost. The specific question; How much did that Bible cost, to get into your hands. If I mentioned men like William Tyndale, and John Wycliffe, with a little study you would see the COST that these men paid for defying a country, The Catholic Church and the forces of Evil to print a Bible in ENGLISH- it was ILLEGAL! Today you will hear about Tyndale, if you didn’t already know. However, Tyndale is merely our launching point to get us to a ministry called EEM. The mission of EEM began in 1961 when a small band of missionaries bravely answered God’s call to take His Word to the people under the rule of the IRON CURTAIN, the Soviet Union. Today you will hear of a man by the name of Gwen Hensley, and the cost he paid to get the Bible in the native tongue of people who had never read it, never heard it and were outlawed from having it. Tune into Like IT Matters Radio and be inspired and understand that the great things in life have a cost that few are willing to pay!

Change your Position to change your Perspective! Are you tired of feeling stuck? Are you sick of being in a rut? Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Are you ready for some new terrain, a new perspective? Then it is time to change your POSITION! Today, Mr. Black is going to have you consider your position of your understanding. Today Mr. Black will explain to listeners the Perceptual Positions, as well as the power of this understanding. There are only 3 ways to see anything in life, and the Perceptual Positions lay out that understanding. Each one of these 3 positions brings us more data, it gives us clarity and understanding by exposing us to things we might not normally see, hear, feel or even sense. Dr. Covey has “Begin with the End in Mind” and “Seek first to Understand and then be Understood”, as 2 of his 7 Habits of Highly Successful People. On today’s iteration of Like It Matters Radio you will learn how powerful those 2 habits are when applied. Get ready for an hour of power to move your position in life and change your perspective!

What is holding me back? This is the $64,000 question! What is keeping you from more? What is keeping you from better, bigger, brighter? There is a principle in Leadership that says, “When you change your position, you change your perspective.” Mr. Black is going to challenge listeners to consider a new perspective. Today, on Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black wants to encourage listeners to look at what is STOPPING them from achieving their goals. Everything we do, or do not ‘do’, is driven by a Belief. Our belief systems are created through our past experiences, but affect everything from our motivation, to how we feel about what we did, or what we didn’t do. Ultimately our Beliefs about ourselves dictate what we do, where we go, and the altitude and attitude of our lives! Mr. Black will introduce listeners to the 20 biggest STOPPERS! The 20 most common blocks to Leadership. Leadership is the ability to move people, and that includes us! Listeners will learn about Focus, about Frames, about B.S. and about the heart and the mind. Tune into Like it Matters Radio for an hour of power as Mr. Black helps listeners get UNSTUCK, to Raise the Bar and LIVE LIKE IT MATTERS!

Is GOODNUFF NO Longer your outcome? Are you tired of accepting and giving GOODNUFF? Are you ready to expect more out of yourself and others? Today on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black is going to be encouraging listeners to RAISE THE BAR. The ‘Bar’ is your standard. Your Bar is the level of quality or attainment, it is an idea or thing used as a measure, norm, or model in comparative evaluations, it can also be considered your BAR; accepted as normal or average. What do you expect from yourself? What is your acceptable level of Commitment? What type of person are you? What type of energy and dedication does that type of person bring? Jim Collins in his book, “Good to Great” explained the dilemma of GOODNUFF. “Good is the enemy of Great. When we have good schools, good businesses, and good government, we are prone to accept that level of quality- GOODNUFF. It was Voltaire that said, “Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers”. Today’s listeners will be questioned about their Bar and their desire! Listeners will learn about the Camel’s Nose, and boiling frogs, and more importantly realize the importance of beliefs, actions and commitments. Tune into Like It Matters Radio for an hour of Power as Mr. Black takes his listeners on a journey to RAISE THE BAR in their personal and professional lives- Like It Matters!

Aware of Being Unaware! Today’s ‘Hour of Power’ is about considering the question, “What are you missing?” We are UNCONSCIOUS creatures. The highest level of learning is UNCONSCIOUS COMPETENCE, and the lowest level of learning is UNCONSCIOUS INCOMPETENCE. It is posited that we only use 3-5% of our brain Consciously. I hear all kinds of flak on this statement, but what I usually hear it as, is that we only use 10% of our brain. I said, “CONSCIOUSLY”. We are programmed creatures. We have a CONSCIOUS mind\brain, and an UNCONSCIOUS mind\brain. We breathe without thinking about it, but if we think about it, we can change our breathing- but it works without Conscious thought or attention. We drove home after work, without realizing how we drove home. Yet, we stopped at all the stops, we turned at all the turns and we wind up at home realizing- “I don’t remember driving home”. That is also what can happen in life, we get to the end, to a trauma and a drama and then we wonder, “WHAT HAPPENED?”. Today on Like It Matters Radio you will hear from recent graduates of Leadership Awakening. A 2.5-day intensive Leadership Experience that WAKES PEOPLE UP to what they have been missing- UP UNTIL NOW! Join Mr. Black as he is joined by TEAM MEMBERS from Team 894. Listen in as you hear what it is like to become AWARE OF BEING UNAWARE!

Today on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black shares a personal story about being attacked by a Racist. It is a great story about how some people can profess to be something they are not. The Bible says that from the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. When we get someone talking long enough, you will start hearing their true self. In the business world, we give a 90-day probation period, in a marriage we have an engagement…. Once you spend enough time with someone, and they get comfortable, you will see who you have. The Proverb says, “You can tell a man’s religion in times of despair.” As a leader it is important to understand how we function, how we work, and what causes us to break down. Being Under Construction is about Constant and Never-Ending Improvement. Working to be better today, than yesterday. Better tomorrow than today! Listeners will learn about the 3R’s of Survival and the Power of our Beliefs. Tune into Like It Matters Radio for an hour of power and spend your time improving yourself- LIKE IT MATTERS!

Did you know? Today on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black is going to talk about information. Information is applicable, and useful, largely based on the time that we RECEIVE it, in comparison to the time we NEED TO USE that information. The 3 times to get information: 1- before you need it. 2- When you need it. 3- After you need it. In the World of Mr. Black, the best time to get information is WHEN YOU NEED IT. On today’s hour of power Mr. Black is going to have you consider some important information that you NEED TO HAVE. The Power of Framing\Reframing. The impact of Attitude on our Altitude in life. Japanese concepts of Oubaitori and Kintsugi- the understanding of these 2 words is all about developing as a person. You will also learn some fun facts about things, ways and creatures. A virtual Potpourri of information and inspiration is what today’s listener can expect to receive!

Today, on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black posits that most people are Deaf, Numb and Blind. We look but we don’t see, we hear but we don’t listen, we touch, but we don’t feel like we should or used to. Jesus Himself chastised His followers’ multiple times; You have eyes but do not see, you have ears but do not hear. Mr. Black is coming up with a solution, to the pandemic of lack of understanding! Sensory Acuity is a heightened state of Awareness of our senses. Rapport is the ability to connect with someone at the unconscious level to establish a trusting relationship- for better communication and connection. Sensory Acuity and Rapport are the answers to the loneliness that many feel. When we are not listened to, we feel like we don’t matter, that we are not “enough”, that we are alone. Mr. Black will conclude today’s Powerful Radio message with some Active Listening tips and impact. If you are in the People business, if you want better relationships with people, if you want to move people in a better way and a better direction- tune into Like It Matters Radio for radio that is inspirational, Educational and Applicational!

Today on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black is going to school his listeners on the reality of life. Choices have consequences. The book of Amos makes some statements about the Chain of Causation, the Law of Causality. Can two walk together without agreeing where to go? Does a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey? Does a young lion growl in his den if he has caught nothing? Does a bird land in a snare where no bait has been set? Does a trap spring from the ground when it has nothing to catch? If a ram’s horn sounds in a city, do the people not tremble? If calamity comes to a city, has the LORD not caused it? Amos 3:3-6. Today Mr. Black will be joined by Kelsey Pritchard with the Women Speak Out PAC. Today they will be talking about the political contest for Wisconsin Supreme Court between Liberal pro abortionist, Susan Crawford and the conservative Pro Life candidate Brad Schimel. They will discuss the National importance of this local race. But in the bigger picture Mr. Black wants to listeners to understand the Butterfly effect; That any change, changes all things. That our choices create an environment that others who follow will be constrained by! Tune in for your HOUR OF POWER as Mr. Black and guest discuss, The Butterfly Effect- Sins of the Father. Inspiration, Education and Application!!
Can two walk together without agreeing where to go? Does a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey? Does a young lion growl in his den if he has caught nothing? Does a bird land in a snare where no bait has been set? Does a trap spring from the ground when it has nothing to catch? If a ram’s horn sounds in a city, do the people not tremble? If calamity comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it? Surely the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets. The lion has roared—who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken—who will not prophesy? - Amos 3:3-8 BSB
Warrior;
What a litany of statements. These are all CAUSE-and-EFFECT statements, natural laws- the WAY THINGS WORK: IF ‘A’ THEN ‘B’. If you put your hand into fire, you WILL GET BURNED. God has always forewarned us, He wants to make sure that people know that CHOICES have CONSEQUENCES and God wants none to perish. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Pet 3:9) God has a plan and He has YOUR PLAN. He promises us, HE HAS THIS, we just need to have FAITH. Faith has consequences, it allows us to be all that God has intended for us to be! “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do”. (Jeremiah 29:11, Ephesians 2:10) Believing God’s WORD is called Faith! Without Faith it is impossible to please God. The Consequences of FAITH, pays huge dividends in the Kingdom of God and allows us to be used for God’s purpose NOW!

Today, on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black posits that most people are Deaf, Numb and Blind. We look but we don’t see, we hear but we don’t listen, we touch, but we don’t feel like we should or used to. Jesus Himself chastised His followers’ multiple times; You have eyes but do not see, you have ears but do not hear. Mr. Black is coming up with a solution, to the pandemic of lack of understanding! Sensory Acuity is a heightened state of Awareness of our senses. Rapport is the ability to connect with someone at the unconscious level to establish a trusting relationship- for better communication and connection. Sensory Acuity and Rapport are the answers to the loneliness that many feel. When we are not listened to, we feel like we don’t matter, that we are not “enough”, that we are alone. Mr. Black will conclude today’s Powerful Radio message with some Active Listening tips and impact. If you are in the People business, if you want better relationships with people, if you want to move people in a better way and a better direction- tune into Like It Matters Radio for radio that is inspirational, Educational and Applicational!

Today on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black is so excited to tell you, “I just got out of Prison”. Mr. Black had the blessed opportunity to serve on staff for Kairos Inside Estes 23. While in Prison for those 4 days Mr. Black got to be a part of a process that helps those behind prison walls to emerge into a better space: Mentally, Spiritually and Hopefully. On Todays Hour of Power, Mr. Black will talk about how we get into the mental space where our lives take turns to bring us to a PRISON. Millions are in prisons around the country- physical structures that confine their movement and remove their choices. Many millions more are free of physical walls, but incarcerated by Emotional, Psychological and Spiritual prisons of their own doing. Today Mr. Black will share the power of struggle and the consequences of our choices. It is said, ‘Two men sit behind bars. One sees mud, the other sees stars”. Perspective becomes reality. A broken heart becomes a shut-off heart. Poor thinking becomes hazardous, and poor self confidence becomes its own prison. Listeners will understand the power of our programming, about Life Scripts, and about the Power of Hope. Tune into Like it Matters Radio and be reminded; You matter, and the Time is Now to step into the new you- with Passion- Heart, Body and Soul.

Today on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black wants listeners to consider the grand question: “How do you want to be remembered?” Dr. Covey wrote a billion-dollar book called, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”. Mr. Black will focus on his second habit, “Begin with the end in Mind”. Distance reflection is a powerful way to create the seeds of change within. When we look at our lives from the end, it looks different! Sometimes a change of position creates a change of perspective. When we change our perspective, we change our reality and change our lives. Today Mr. Black will include much in his encouraging talk. You will hear about Steve Jobs, Alfred Nobel, Socrates and Jesus. Join us for an hour of power as Mr. Black shares stories, poetry, knowledge and wisdom so that you can Live Life Like It Matters!

What is lacking in today’s chaotic world is Emotional Intelligence. People can’t move through conflict, they can’t forgive, never forget, and keep a pound of flesh and a record of wrong. We won’t socialize with someone who votes differently than we do, and we judge others by their external features; The color of the skin, their sexual preference, who they vote for! It is a mess! To quote Rodney King, “Can’t we all just get a long?” What is lacking is EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE. Emotional intelligence is now seen as a “need to have” ingredient in the makeup of leaders. One of the early purveyors of the concept of EQ (Emotional Intelligence), Dan Goleman says this about EQ: “Without emotional intelligence, a person can have the best training in the world, an incisive, analytical mind, and an endless supply of smart ideas, but he still won’t make a great leader.” Goleman identified five elements of our make-up that we could attribute to emotional intelligence: 1-Self Awareness – How much do we understand about our own moods, states, and emotions. 2-Self Regulation – How good are we at thinking before we act? 3- Motivation – How strong is your desire to relentlessly pursue your goals? 4-Empathy – How easy do we find it to see another person’s point of view? How much do we understand about the emotional make-up of other people? 5-Social Skills – How easily are you able to build rapport and find common ground to effectively manage your relationships? In today’s hour of power Mr. Black will also share with you 2 tools that he uses to help others GROW THEIR EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE: Epigenetics and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) Warriors it is time to get EQUIPPED- Like IT MATTERS!

Today on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black wants listeners to consider a Grand Question, “Which one are you gonna be?” Life is about choices, and about what we do with the consequences of those choices. If we are going to be honest let’s admit; 1- Life aint no fair. 2- Life Is Hard. The Bible says that a righteous man will stumble 7 times but get back up. The wicked will stumble into ruin. We cannot control what happens to us in life, but we can choose how we respond. We experience life once, then we codify our experiences in memories that are stored in pictures, words, feelings, smells and tastes. There is a saying that illustrates this concept of choices. “Two men sit behind bars. One sees mud, the other sees stars”. Dr. Viktor Frankl the great Austrian Psychotherapist, the founder of the Will to Meaning, and Logo Therapy said, “Between the stimulus and the response there is a space. IN that space is your power and your freedom, your liberty.” Today Mr. Black will use the real-life situation of Team 892 in Las Vegas. We had 8 people scheduled for a life changing event. At the end of the training, there were only 5 people that were still there and living life like it matters! This is a situation that plays out millions of times daily and people use their consequences to play victim, to covet and to blame the world for their choices. We are better than this! Tune into Like It Matters Radio for an hour of power as you hear from Mr. Black and recent graduates from Team 892. Be inspired, get educated and be ready to be different!

Heart disease remains the top killer of Americans as risk factors continue to grow. Studies show a decrease in Emotional Intelligence in Americans. Attitudes that become skills like empathy, self-awareness and emotional regulation are on the decline. The pandemic seems to have changed the DNA of many Americans. Burnout is on the rise, Excessive screen time that leads to a decline in non-verbal cue interpretation, empathy development and the ability to move through conflict have struggled. Men are struggling with their place in society, loneliness is abounding, and everybody seems to have a ‘pound of flesh’ they are carrying, or a ‘record of wrong’ they are listening to. Today is about more than diagnosing the problem, it is about understanding that WE ARE, and WE HAVE the solution! It starts with the Heart! Tune into Like It Matters Radio for an hour of Power as Mr. Black brings hope to listeners by letting them know; HELP IS HERE! Join Mr. Black and get your HEART ON!

Can’t we all just get along? This was the cry of Rodney King after the infamous Los Angeles riots in 1992, as chaos, racial anger and hatred boiled over and Los Angeles burned in a different way than today. It seems like America, our cities, our communities, our families are dealing with so much confusion, anger and hopelessness that we are having a tough time getting along. Today on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black wants to make the point that we are at a precipice, the TIME IS NOW, to start connecting with people and making sure we are building relationships that allow us to live the ‘GOOD LIFE’. Listeners will learn about Rapport, and how to connect with people. Mr. Black will bring in a Harvard study that covered almost 50 years, that finally shows what makes a good life, a GOOD LIFE! Learn the different ways people process and understand how to connect with other people. The key to life is people! To fully enjoy, a fulfilling life, it is about people. When life is over, what will really matter is the relationships we had with people! What is stopping us from more happiness, more contentment and more people is- the heart and the mind. When we clean up our stinking thinking, and resuscitate our heart, then we can truly LIVE LIFE LIKE IT MATTERS!

Do you think you can? Do you think you can’t? Do you wonder what I’m thinking? On today’s hour of power Mr. Black will talk about the power of our thinking and doing. If you think you can, or think you can’t, you are right, is a quote attributed to Henry Ford. Mr. Black uses this quote as a launching point and has a dual purpose for the topic. 1st he shows the listeners that the search for simple truths is not clear, or easy- but the process is invaluable. 2nd, Mr. Black explains to listeners the power and impact of Belief Systems and thoughts. Were you made to soar like an Eagle, but have been placed in a chicken coup? Is the pain of your past keeping you from revealing God’s glory in the future? Hear the story of the Chicken who BELIEVED He was a chicken, and the Eagle who THOUGHT he was a chicken. Tune into Like It Matters Radio for Radio that is inspirational, educational and applicational as Mr. Black encourages his listeners to REPURPOSE THE PAIN!

Choices and Consequences, the Alpha and Omega; The Cause and effect! Do you ever wonder how we got to where we are in our country today? The pandemic of poor mental health. 40-60% of college graduates are not prepared for the workforce. People can’t eat with someone who votes differently. People killing and maiming unknown people just to hurt people. Americans are having fewer kids, if they have any at all. Men are struggling starting families, getting homes and choosing to just checking out. 60% of our population has chronic disease, where 50 years ago it was 6%. It is time to go back to the basics. We can fix this dilemma by remembering how things work, and what is important. The Law of Causality and the Chain of Causation is science. If you plant wheat, the only thing that will grow- if anything grows, is wheat! From our choices come consequences. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Today’s listeners will be reminded of everything they needed to know they learned in kindergarten and be introduced to “Wrong Way Riegels”. The time is NOW to be inspired to choose differently! The Time is Now for Like It Matters Radio. Radio that is Inspiration, Education and Application!

Activity versus Productivity; Time to Decide. As we start this new year, we need to realize that we are judged by what we do with our time. At the end of one’s life, we all get together and listen to a Eulogy, or now we call it, a celebration of life- it is always about this: What did that person- who is in a box at the front of the room- what did they do with their time? Today, on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black is going to encourage listeners to consider how they are going to invest their time in this new year. As Mr. Black has listeners consider this question of the investment of time, he will share stories and have listeners consider what others say about time: The Bible, Stephen Covey, Jim Stovall and Vilfredo Pareto. Tune into Like It Matters Radio for an hour of power as we consider TIME, and how we can best invest it for our future!

Do you think you are doing something wrong because things are hard in your life? Do you believe the road to a life of significance should be easier? Today on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black will bring some HOPE to your frame of reference for ADVERSITY! Adversity is FOOD for WARRIORS. As the 2 ‘good’ spies in Numbers 14 knew, “Our Giants are food for us!”. The way we view, and handle adversity will make our LEGACY, or make the NEWS. Whether we are talking about the New Orleans New Years terrorist, or serial killer, Jason Thornburg- many things come down to how we handle adversity. In this New Year you will have many visitations, and some of those will be by ADVERSITY. Today’s ‘Hour of Power’ is even more special today because Mr. Black will be joined by Todd Nettleton, who is VP of Voice of the Martyrs.

How have you invested your time this last year? Do you know what time it is? Are you making the time to get ready for a powerful, productive and peaceful 2025? Do you know the times you are living in? ‘Looking back to move forward’ is the focus on today’s Like It Matters Radio. There are 2 Greek works that we translate into time, they help us understand the meaning of time. Chronos is quantitative and Kairos is qualitative. Chronos is a set time on a watch or sun dial. Kairos is a TIME that we are living in, a dispensation. Before we are ready to make the most of next year; setting goals, outcomes and creating a vision for a year that is exciting and successful- we need to take the time to SWOT this year. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats will be our focus today as we learn from the past to prepare for a better future. Be inspired, be motivated and be ready to GROW! Today’s ‘Hour of Power’ will prepare you to get the most out of this closing year and use it to make the most out of the next year!

When you live your life like It Matters, it does! It is the code of ethics of the Warrior. It is an inner drive that any leader can grab ahold of. It is a MINDSET that creates a sense of urgency. Planes crash and people die, it is a fact of life. When we live our lives, like time is running out, then we live it at a brisker pace, and in a more purposeful, passionate pattern. Today Mr. Black will discuss the understanding that time is fleeting. We have all been given a set amount of time to live our lives. Times is our currency, and we will be accountable for how we spend it, how we invest our time for the things of God. Mr. Black will be joined by a recent graduate of Leadership Awakening who is also a LEO (Law Enforcement Officer). Their conversation will be geared around the belief that a Purpose driven life has a sense of urgency. Tune into this hour of Power as Mr. Black inspires his listeners to make the most of their time! This is the Way of Warrior!

Do you ever wonder why some people fight and some people don’t? Do you ever question why some people get so worked up about things? Today on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black wants to talk about, “Why we fight”. I know as a Christian many believers think that we shouldn’t get into politics or get too wrapped up in the laws and governing of this world- since we are sojourners. However, we are called to be SALT and LIGHT in this decaying world! Today Mr. Black will be joined by a spokesman for the Susan B Anthony Pro-Life America organization to talk about the victories that were experienced this last election. Today’s show is NOT about abortion, it is about WHY WE FIGHT our battles! The battle for the unborn is the GOOD FIGHT for the SBA Pro Life America organization, and for many believers. Tune into this HOUR OF POWER as Mr. Black and Guest talk about WHY WE FIGHT. This is NOT a show about Abortion, it is about Encouragement! Be Inspired, be educated and be moved to action by today’s auditory smorgasbord!

Epiphany, The House of Cards. Epiphany is defined as a moment of sudden revelation or insight. Today On Like it Matters Radio Mr. Black is going to go into the machinations of how we work as humans, to create our Belief system (BS). Everything we do, or do not do, is driven by a belief system. When we have a drastic change on a HIGH-LEVEL Belief, it changes those below it, causing a “house of cards” to fall. Dr. Dilts and the Logical Levels show us that from the psychological point of view there are 6 levels that human beings create beliefs at. The basic level is our ENVIRONMENT. We operate on that environment through our BEHAVIOR. Our behavior is guided by our mental maps and strategies which define our CAPABILIITES. These capabilities are organized by BELIEF SYSTEMS and VALUES. Beliefs are organized by IDENTITY. Our Identity derives its essential meaning from SPIRIT- “Why are we here?” Listeners will not only be Inspired, educated and motivated to act, but they will also realize the power of our BS and understanding how we create experience and set up our environment to make us more successful. This understanding, and this clarity will allow listeners to construct their Beliefs in a way that allow them to be all they desire to be! Be inspired, be moved and apply this powerful self-knowledge in a way that honors who you are and why you are here! It is the Way of the Warrior!

Worldview; The deciding frame. Why do people do what they do? We just finished an election, have you ever wondered HOW, and WHY someone would vote for that person you voted against? Answers to those questions and more will be received by spending the time to listen to this important discussion. It is all about the FRAMEs in our lives! Mr. Black will be joined by Pastor, Leadership Awakening Graduate, and friend of Like It Matters- Jesse Hamberger. Listeners will understand the 6 Neurological levels which will help them understand the power and importance of beliefs. Jesse and Mr. Black will discuss the power of the highest-level beliefs, Spirit. Which begs the question, and the desired understanding: How do one’s Spiritual Beliefs affect everyday decisions, including who to vote for. Inspiration, Education and Application is our outcome. Listeners will be better able to fight their good fight and to understand themselves and others better. Understanding is part of the journey of the Way of Warrior!

Constant and Never-Ending Improvement; The Attitude of Effective Leaders. God calls us to Constant and Never-Ending Improvement. We are called to be NEW CREATIONS, getting better mentally, spiritually, emotionally and personally. This is why we believe the sign of a Leader is, Under Construction. The Japanese are world renowned for their quality of life, and of manufacturing. What I believe makes the Japanese people stand out is their attitude, their mindset of Continual Improvement. An American named Dr. Deming went to Japan after America defeated them in WW2. Dr. Deming taught the Japanese and important principle of life: Quality always costs less! He posited to the Japanese that if they could just focus on constantly improving, they would eventually be globally dominant. Today on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black wants to focus in on 6+1 mindsets that the Japanese use to keep their hearts and minds focused on Constant and Never-Ending Improvement: Ikigai, Kaizen, Pomodoro Technique, Hara Hachi Bu, Shoshin, Wabi-Sabi and Kata. Tune into Like It Matters Radio for an hour of Power as Mr. Black helps listeners get their minds right! Because it is that attitude that causes a leader to live their life like it Matters!

Under Construction The sign of an Effective Leader. Good is the enemy of Great is a concept Leadership guru and author Jim Collins expounded and expanded on in his book, “Good to Great; Why Some Companies Make the Leap and Others Don’t.” John D. Rockefeller told us, “Don’t be afraid to give up the good to go for the great”. Collins said, “The enemy of great is NOT bad, the enemy of great is good”.

Protocol: How is your pattern working for you? Our patterns in life get us what we are getting. Einstein famously defined insanity as: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. He also said, ‘You can never solve a problem at the same level it was created at.” We are getting exactly the results we have programmed ourselves to get. As a Warrior, a Leader, a Conduit, this is where we affect change! If we don’t like the RESULTS then we get to, CHANGE the APPROACH, as we change our approach we change our results. The Logical Levels posit that we have beliefs on 6 levels in life, and those beliefs dictate our results, because they decide our Behavior. The six levels are Spirit, Identity, Beliefs and Values, Capabilities, Behavior, and then Environment. Today, listeners will learn about the Fiery Furnace of Growth and how Environment, Behavior and Identity- put into proper form can help anybody live their lives at the highest level- Living Like It Matters! Inspiration, Education and Application are on the menu today on Like It Matters Radio!

The Power of Persuasion. Believing a lie as if it were the truth, this is what happens when the truth is eschewed and manipulated for political science purposes. There is an all-out assault on the human psyche…for the truth…and if we cannot find truth then we are all in big trouble!! Understanding the power of motivation, the ability to move an individual is important in understanding the Mass Formation and Propagandizing of the masses.
The same things that motivate a person to act or believe are needed to move groups of people. Since we are unconscious creatures, we can be manipulated if not consciously aware of the wiles of our enemy.
Dr. Ingrid Skop, a pro-life OB/GYN and Medical Director of the Charlotte Lozier Institute, will join Mr. Black and discuss some lies the media is telling on behalf of Harris and at the expense of the lives of the unborn and the health of those mothers! It was Jesus who said the truth with set you free.
It was James A. Garfield who added, but first, it will make you miserable. The Truth is an important tool for the Warrior. If we are to LIVE LIKE IT MATTERS, then we must know the truth and that truth will set us free! It is the Way of Warrior!

False Evidence Appearing Real is what is Holding us back. Have you ever wondered what is Holding you back from getting, doing and being more? What if it is FEAR?

On Todays Like It Matters Radio you will learn Fears address, Fears power, and Fears effect on you. Epigenetics tells us that we can poison ourselves with our thoughts, and Brain science tells us Energy follows thought. Fear produces darkness, acidification, and destruction. Anger comes from Fear.

This is many warriors GOOD FIGHT! Are you lacking clear vision in certain areas of life? Do you want to know the TRUTH even if you don’t FEEL like it? When we don’t know the truth of what is going on, then we have a hard time being properly prepared for the battles that will ensue. In today's Spiritual and Political climate in America it is hard to get beyond TRIBAL feelings. Of the 66 books in the Bible not a one of them is called “Feelings” or “Opinions”, yet our Political and Spiritual cognition seems to be driven by those 2 nemeses. Emily Davis, Vice President of Communications for Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America is joining Mr. Black for an hour of Power and Truth. In 1993 Bill Clinton Democratic platform coined the phrase: ‘Safe, legal, but rare” to describe their belief on Abortion. That statement implied abortion was inherently immoral, and thus should be rate. Today’s Democratic party celebrates the death of the unborn, as a power move. Today’s conversation will pull back the curtain on what took place at the Democratic convention, and in the back halls of the DNC that has totally changed the landscape and what abortion is about today. This is an important conversation, one that you need to listen to and share. If you are going to live your life like it matters, then, THE TRUTH will set you free. It is the Way of Warrior!

What is the condition of your head and your heart? From the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks, and from the overflow of the focus our feet move. We are programmed creatures. Psychologist Alfred Adler posits that by the time a child is 5-years old a majority of their map of reality is in place. Programming in the psychological world can also be phrased as Conditioning. Conditioning is a fundamental learning process where certain experiences or stimuli make actions more, or less likely. There are 2 primary types of conditioning: Classical and Operant. Today on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black wants to help listeners understand that as a Leader, our Number 1 ability is to move people. To maximize our motivational capabilities, we need to understand how most are conditioned. Tune into this hour of power as Mr. Black expands the possibilities of Leadership by having his listeners consider: What is the condition of your Head and your Heart?

Assassinations: Truth and Trump. Debates, Death, and Dismemberment. If you watch the news, and watched the debate, then you can see America has become a killing field. We not only attempt to kill those that expose the deep state, but we also kill our unborn children, and we kill peoples livelihood and lives with vicious, unrelenting personal attacks- if you are not part of the machine, if you are NOT WOKE. Assasination can be defined as: murder by sudden or secret attack often for political reasons: the act or an instance of assassinating someone, or the treacherous destruction of a person's reputation. Today we are going to introduce you to the truth. The 3 on 1 debate was overwhelming for any fair-minded person. The so-called Fact-Checkers assassinated Trump, while protecting the lies of Kamala Harris. Today we are going to expose 3 clear LIES that ABC refused to fact-check Harris on, because their intent was the assassination of the candidacy of Donald Trump. Mr. Black will be joined for a conversation of LIGHT, to expose the LIES of the LEFT, by former Congresswoman from Colorado Marilyn Musgrave. Today’s message will also discuss the machinations behind the outcome of this chain of causation. Tune into Like It Matters Radio, Radio Like it Matters. Inspiration, Education and Application- the Way of the Warrior!

What are you talking about? Why the Narrative matters. Everything we do, or do not do, is driven by a belief system. Frank Outlaw is credited with the statement; “Watch your thoughts, they become words; watch your words, they become actions; watch your actions, they become habits; watch your habits, they become character; watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.” All what Mr. Outlaw stated is driven by our Self-Talk. We believe what we tell ourselves repeatedly. Whether we are talking about Classical Conditioning, Mass formation, Narrative Control, or basic manipulation- they are all driven by repetition of message whether visual, kinesthetic, or auditory. Epigenetics tells us that we are a community of 50 trillion cells all driven by our environment. This awareness can keep us from being controlled and manipulated by nefarious sources not looking out for our best interests. Tune into Like It Matters Radio for an hour of power as Mr. Black helps listeners understand the power of the Narrative, why what we are talking about matters!

The Road to Sturgis; Reasons why. Every human being wears a hat labeled WIIFM: What is in it for me. We are programmed creatures. We do what we do because of drivers. Pain, trauma, Belief Systems, experiences, disappointments and many other things drive us to do what we do. This is why UNDERSTANDING goes a long way. We don’t need JUSTICE in this world to have PEACE. We need UNDERSTANDING. If I can understand you a little better, and you can understand me a little better, doesn’t it make sense that we are in a position to have a better relationship? On todays Way of Warrior: Fighting the good fight Mr. Black is going to interview 4 people who he met on the black top in Sturgis at the 84th annual Motorcycle rally.

If Nothing Changes, Nothing Changes; Break Free: Transform Your Life with Scott V. Black. Welcome to "If Nothing Changes, Nothing Changes," where we delve into the essence of change itself. Albert Einstein once remarked, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." In this podcast, we embark on a journey of transformation, beginning with the fundamental entity that undergoes change: us. Exploring the depths of human nature, we unravel the triune essence within us—body, consciousness, and spirit.
Change initiates with a decision, a commitment—a pivotal moment signifying an end and a new beginning. I am deeply committed to change, believing that to alter our world, we must first transform our thinking. Our beliefs shape our reality, influencing every aspect of our lives. Through introspection and challenging our belief systems, we unearth the power to redefine our narratives, reframing our past experiences and shaping our future.
Join us as Scott V. Black, a seasoned expert with over 30 years of experience guiding peak performers towards remarkable results. He deftly navigates through the layers of change, understanding its multi-dimensional nature. From adjusting attitudes to reshaping memories, from altering perspectives to rewriting life scripts—each shift contributes to a holistic transformation. At Way of Warrior, we embrace the notion of starting anew, symbolized by drawing a bold line in the sand and declaring, "Up until now..."
Acknowledging our past, filled with imperfections and mistakes, we embrace the opportunity for redemption and growth. Our history, though written, does not define our future. Instead, it serves as a canvas for reframing, allowing us to reinterpret our experiences and pave a path towards self-improvement.
As we delve deeper, we explore the psychology behind change, understanding how neuro-associative conditioning shapes our behaviors and habits. By leveraging the power of focus, interrupting limiting beliefs, and creating empowering alternatives, we embark on a journey of self-mastery. Through rigorous conditioning, we forge new neural pathways, aligning our actions with our aspirations.
In our quest for change, we recognize the importance of flexibility, embracing the mantra of "Semper Gumby"—always flexible. By acknowledging the diverse states of mind within us, we navigate the complexities of human psychology, understanding the dynamics of ego states and transactional analysis.
Join me on this transformative journey as we challenge the status quo, redefining our reality one thought at a time. Remember, if nothing changes, then nothing changes. Let's embark on this journey of self-discovery and transformation together.

Was he the father of leadership? That's the question we're exploring in this special episode. Is leadership merely a position, or is it embodied by a person? Is leadership a collective of individuals, or is it defined by a set of values and actions? What exactly does it entail to be a leader? Are there specific skills that are crucial for effective leadership? In today's perplexing times, what qualities and abilities do we require from our leaders? What, in your opinion, distinguishes a good leader?
Welcome to a special episode of the Way of Warrior, Fighting The Good Fight Podcast. Where we present "Story Time with Mr. Black." Today, Mr. Black delves into the war in Ukraine to delve into the essence of leadership, prompting us to reflect on our nation's humble origins. Once, we were a small group of people yearning for religious freedom and self-governance. We endeavored to break away from a far superior power, requiring immense desire, unwavering commitment, and exceptional leadership. Some argue that leadership is an art, a conscious choice fueled by values. In today's episode, Mr. Black urges us to contemplate the outstanding qualities of great leaders.
Those instrumental in the formation of our nation are commonly referred to as the Founding Fathers. Among them, George Washington stands out as the Father of our Country, owing to his pivotal role in securing America's freedom and establishment.

Environment or Behavior? Epigenetics - Special Episode. Have you ever reflected on the fact that your thoughts essentially constitute a conversation with yourself? Do you experience moments when you feel overwhelmed and find it challenging to think clearly? Recognizing the potency of both positive and negative self-talk, have you contemplated the impact it can have on your life decisions? If given the opportunity to transform your life by altering your thought patterns, would you seize it? Are you familiar with the concept of Cognitive Dissonance and its implications?
In an upcoming study, Mr. Black will be joined by a recent graduate of Leadership Awakening, Kim. Through a series of questions, Mr. Black will facilitate Kim's exploration of the profound impact of immersing oneself in Mr. Black's world for 48 hours, where epigenetics is not only studied but actively applied. Environment or Behavior? Epigenetics. This perspective asserts that our mental processes significantly influence our actions and choices. Consider the idea that if others treated us the way we treat ourselves mentally, it would be intolerable. This realization has led to the phrase: 'I've met the enemy, and he's living in my shorts.' Have you ever contemplated the influential role your internal dialogue plays in shaping your everyday decisions and actions? What if you could assert control over the space between stimulus and response, thereby transforming your life?

A New You or More Broken Promises? Are you part of the New Year, New You crowd? It's perfectly fine if you are. However, the crucial question remains: Are you transforming into a New You, or simply making more Broken Promises?
Today, we'll explore three factors that often derail resolutions but can also be the keys to overcoming them: Our identity, our environment, and our behavior. When we weave these three elements together, we can create transformative change.
So, are you up for it? Are you no longer willing?
I'm the kind of person who connects behavior, environment, and identity. Or, I'm the kind of person who doesn't.
Let's delve into the etymology of words. Take "RESOLUTION," for instance. It's rooted in the idea of settling a problem, deciding firmly on a course of action, and having a firm determination to do something. Similar to "ASSERT," which involves confidently stating a fact or belief and behaving or speaking with confidence. Both are forms of commitments.
"COMMIT," "ASSERT," "RESOLVE" — do these sound familiar? They're akin to getting in the car and embarking on a journey. A New You or More Broken Promises?
Jim Collins, in his book "Good to Great," draws a powerful metaphor of a business as a bus and the leader as a bus driver. The key is not starting with where you're going but with who. Leaders of companies that achieve greatness begin by assembling the right people on the bus, removing the wrong ones, and ensuring everyone is in the right seats.
Today, let's consider getting IN THE CAR:
COMMIT
ASSERT
RESOLVE
Because, as the saying goes, nothing great happens without commitment.

Which Way Are You Going? How frequently do you find yourself dwelling in the present moment? Is your focus directed more towards your past experiences rather than the path you're currently navigating? Are you placing greater emphasis on understanding your DNA, neglecting the effort required to overcome personal challenges? Do you still find yourself entangled in the trauma and drama of bygone days, prioritizing past events over shaping a better tomorrow?
Which Way Are You Going? Our guests today are two graduates of Mr. Black's Leadership Awakening training, embodying a newfound sense of hope, fresh perspectives, rejuvenated hearts, and a transformative direction. The positioning of our eyes in the front of our heads symbolizes the significance of moving in the direction of our focus. Which Way Are You Going?
In life, we are perpetually evolving or regressing, progressing or stagnating—either becoming better or growing more stagnant and embittered. Our choice lies in either moving forward with a forward-looking focus or dwelling on the past. The journey focused on the rear view mirror carries passengers named regret, resentment, and resistance. Conversely, when we adopt a forward-looking approach, embracing forward movement and action, hope becomes our steadfast companion. Which Way Are You Going?

3 Steps to Reach Your Goals. Resolutions, How To Keep Them and Not Fail. Introspection, resolve and will power are often not enough. Determination, and resilience frequently proves insufficient. The top 3 tips to help you reach your goals. And guide you toward success.
The journey to achieve your resolutions involves more than mere introspection, resolve, and willpower.

To truly transform your aspirations into tangible achievements, consider the top three key steps that go beyond traditional approaches, offering a comprehensive guide to success. The first crucial element is acknowledging that introspection alone might not lead to sustainable change. It acts as the foundation, providing insights into your desires and motivations, but to materialize these aspirations, additional strategies come into play.
Resolve, the second vital step, encompasses the unwavering commitment to your objectives. It requires a conscious decision to push through challenges and resist the temptation to abandon your goals at the first sign of difficulty. However, even with robust resolve, setbacks are inevitable, making the third step—willpower—paramount. 3 Steps To Reach Goals.
Willpower becomes the driving force that sustains your commitment when faced with obstacles. It involves the conscious effort to stay on course, even when circumstances test your determination. Yet, recognizing that willpower alone might falter, the essential guide offers an array of tips and strategies. These include motivating practices, resilience-building techniques, and dynamic approaches to ensure that your resolutions not only endure but flourish. 3 Steps To Reach Goals.
By understanding that change is a multifaceted process and adopting a resilient mindset, you empower yourself to transcend the common pitfalls that lead to resolution failures. The combination of introspection, unwavering resolve, and fortified willpower, coupled with the guide's tips and strategies, forms a potent recipe for success, propelling you towards triumphant realization of your goals.

Mass Formation, Or Mass Hypnosis. Special Episode.
Why does our country and community experience such pervasive chaos? How is it that in a nation founded on principles of free speech, we witness censorship and suppression of diverse opinions? Why have norms shifted from what was considered normal just a few years ago to what is now deemed abnormal? Why do we willingly surrender so much, succumbing to a climate of fear? How can two conflicting national belief systems coexist, driven by beliefs rooted in fear rather than science? The answer lies in understanding Mass Formation—a phenomenon akin to mass hypnosis.
In this episode of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black embarks on a journey to unravel the "why" behind the prevailing division, strife, anger, and victimhood that seem to have replaced traditional American icons. Today, he delves into the concept of Mass Formation, a form of mass hypnosis that induces a collective "hive" mindset, catering to the psychological needs of individuals. In this context, the veracity of information becomes secondary to the ability to manipulate people's beliefs successfully, as evident in the current state of the country. Mass Formation, Or Mass Hypnosis.
Drawing insights from Professor Mattias Desmet from Belgium, Mr. Black sheds light on the four conditions essential for mass manipulation to thrive: social isolation, lack of meaning in life, free-floating anxiety, and discontentedness. Mass Formation, Or Mass Hypnosis. The podcast aims to bring clarity to the prevailing confusion, offering answers to pressing questions. By understanding Mass Formation, listeners can gain insights into the manipulation affecting society and foster a pattern for living life with purpose.

The Eagle serves as a powerful metaphor across various cultures, symbolizing strength, freedom, independence, and self-actualization. A Native American perspective beautifully encapsulates this: "Eagle is reminding you to take heart and gather your courage, for the universe is presenting you with an opportunity to soar above the mundane levels of your life... Eagle teaches you to broaden your sense of self, beyond the horizon of what is presently visible." Eagle or Duck, Which Are You?

For heightened success, experts emphasize the significance of intentionality, reflection, and a visionary approach towards one's goals. The need to ask existential questions and establish directional vision becomes paramount, setting the stage for a year of meaningful achievements.

Do high expectations matter? What we believe matters. Do you have low expectations of others? Does it matter either way?
Do the expectations we set for ourselves and others truly matter? The significance of our beliefs cannot be overstated. Whether we hold high or low expectations can greatly influence our thoughts, actions, and ultimately, the results we produce. The power of expectations is evident in the self-fulfilling prophecies that shape our lives.
Consider your beliefs about others – do you maintain high or low expectations of them? The impact of these expectations is substantial, influencing not only their actions but also their potential for growth and success.
Our beliefs extend beyond interpersonal dynamics to encompass our views of ourselves, our opportunities, and our abilities. These beliefs play a pivotal role in determining our actions and the outcomes we achieve. Scientifically validated phenomena such as the Pygmalion effect, the Rosenthal effect, and the Galatea effect highlight the profound influence of expectations on human behavior.
Join us as we welcome a remarkable guest, Angel, a dynamic individual who underwent a transformative journey in Mr. Black's Leadership Awakening training with Team 252. Angel's story serves as a poignant example of the emotional and tangible outcomes that arise when expectations and beliefs undergo a profound shift. Her experience will undoubtedly inspire and motivate you to raise the bar in your own life.
In reflection, let us ponder the question: What we believe truly matters – not just for ourselves, but for the individuals we interact with, the actions we take, and the results we aspire to achieve.

Culture Wars; The Ultimate Environment. Have you ever wondered what is the most important fight? Have you ever considered what YOUR most important fight is?
In the realm of existence, where culture wars unfold, we find ourselves engaged in the ultimate environment—the battlefield of life itself. Epigenetics, the silent orchestrator, posits that within us exists a vast community of 200 trillion cells, all intricately interwoven and propelled by the currents of our environment.
On this enlightening episode of Way of Warrior, Mr. Black, a seasoned warrior himself, is joined by Don Noe, delving into the profound intricacies of understanding our environment. These warriors assert that to navigate the complex tapestry of life, one must first decipher the threads of culture woven into the very fabric of existence.
As warriors, we are tasked with comprehending the nuances of our surroundings, for culture is the guiding pattern of life. It encompasses the general customs, deeply ingrained beliefs, acceptable interactions, and the preferred behavior that shapes our collective journey. Our attitudes, opinions, and actions reflect the culture embedded within the environment we navigate.
The environment, a crucible of challenges, has the power to mold a warrior's character and shape their reputation. It tests the mettle of those who tread the path of the warrior, demanding an acute awareness of the cultural currents that dictate the ebb and flow of existence. To be a warrior is to be cognizant of the dynamic interplay between environment and expectation.
In embracing this awareness, we, as warriors, attain a heightened state of power, tranquility, and presence. Armed with the understanding of the cultural forces at play, we navigate the terrain with purpose and clarity. The call echoes—soldier on! For in mastering the culture wars of life, we forge a path that transcends mere existence, embodying the way of the warrior.

Your Depression Comes from Thoughts. Win Battle of Mind. In the landscape of the mind, the battleground is often obscured by the relentless chatter of our thoughts, 18,000 a day, a constant hum beneath the surface. Have you ever truly listened to your inner dialogue?
It's a battle, a silent war waged within. Depression lurks in the shadows, despair looms like a heavy fog, and feelings of helplessness and hopelessness become formidable adversaries. Yet, amidst this mental warfare, there is a focal point that can tip the scales—the power of our focus.
Words hold sway over the mind; they shape our thoughts and, in turn, our actions. What we choose to focus on becomes the compass guiding our journey. In the realm of psychology, Transactional Analysis reveals a profound truth: it's not solely about what happens to us but how we remember it, how we remind ourselves.
Our responses to life's events are not tethered to an objective reality; rather, they are woven into the narrative we construct around those events. Psychologist Edward Thorndike, drawing from his work with both people and cats, observed a fundamental principle: behaviors followed by satisfying consequences are likely to be repeated, while those yielding unpleasant consequences are often discarded.
Your mental health becomes a testament to the stories you tell yourself, the interpretations you assign to experiences. It's a reminder that the mind is a delicate instrument, susceptible to the ebb and flow of thoughts. Amidst the battle, remember that your focus can be a shield—a guard against the onslaught of despair.
In the vast expanse of the mind, relationships form a crucial part of the terrain. The dynamics with others and, more importantly, with oneself, can shape the contours of this internal battleground. It is here that a glimmer of hope emerges—a tip for the weary traveler.
When the weight of depression bears down, when thoughts threaten to pull you into the abyss, remember that your mind is a garden. Tend to it with care, for the seeds you plant will blossom into the landscape of your emotions. Guard your thoughts as a sentinel guards a fortress.
In the face of despair, there is a choice—a choice to think differently, to rewrite the narrative, and to focus on the positive. Your mind, a sanctuary or a battlefield, is shaped by the stories you choose to tell. Let hope be the ink that paints a brighter picture, and let the echoes of that hope reverberate through the recesses of your consciousness.
In the battle against depression, thoughts matter, and the mind becomes a powerful ally or a formidable adversary. Focus on the light, on the possibilities, and on the strength within. The war may be relentless, but within you resides the resilience to win the good fight.

God and Doing Good in a Dark World. Do you ever wonder if things are going to get better? Have you considered how dark and hopeless thing look at times?
In a world often veiled in darkness, the belief in God and the commitment to doing good become beacons of hope, illuminating the path to a brighter future. It's natural to question whether things will improve and to feel the weight of despair in the face of adversity.
Hope, as the greatest commodity of a leader, becomes the driving force that propels individuals to believe in the possibility of a positive transformation. Even in the darkest of times, hope empowers us to perform at higher levels, transcending the challenges that surround us. Understanding the dynamics of strife and its potential to be overcome through effective leadership is crucial.
Distinguishing between mere management and true leadership takes center stage in navigating the complexities of a dark world. Leaders comprehend the power they possess—the ability to inspire change and foster hope, not only within themselves but also in the world they influence.
Michael Johnson, the CEO of the Slavic Gospel Association, sheds light on how his organization is actively engaged in bringing hope, sustenance, and a new beginning to regions marred by conflict, such as war-torn Israel and Ukraine. Through their endeavors, they inspire and motivate others to join in the collective effort to make a positive impact on the world.
This discussion serves as a reminder that even in the face of adversity, individuals and organizations have the power to overcome darkness, instilling hope and initiating transformative change. The story of leaders like Michael Johnson serves as a testament to the belief that, with faith, determination, and a commitment to doing good, we can build a world that transcends the challenges that often threaten to engulf us.

Differences of Good Fight and Just Fighting, Culture Change. Fighting the GOOD FIGHT is about choosing to make a positive impact, not just for yourself but for those around you. It's about being an Example, setting a standard for others to follow. When faced with challenges, it's essential to consider the big difference between merely surviving and truly thriving.
In the realm of Leadership, there's a crucial distinction between managing a crisis and leading towards a better future. It's not just about accepting the status quo but pushing beyond, refusing to settle for "GOODNUFF." Culture plays a significant role in this dynamic, as it shapes the way individuals and teams approach challenges and opportunities.
The Leadership Loop emphasizes the interconnected nature of Permission, Example, and Culture. The choices we make in what to fight for and how we fight directly impact those around us. Leaders must be aware that their actions and decisions are under constant scrutiny, and others are watching to see the Example they set.
Why does it matter? Because thriving is about more than personal success; it's about inspiring and influencing others to do the same. It's about awakening a sense of purpose and motivation that goes beyond mere survival. The Leadership Loop challenges individuals to transform from mere managers of circumstances to leaders who actively shape a better tomorrow.
In seminars or training sessions, leaders can emphasize the importance of being a positive Example, fostering a culture that rejects mediocrity, and understanding the power of the Leadership Loop. By doing so, they empower individuals to be warriors for positive change, not just in their own lives but in the lives of those they influence.
So, are you merely managing, or are you leading? The GOOD FIGHT involves choosing to lead, embracing the challenges, and inspiring others to do the same. It's about living a life of significance, leaving a lasting impact that goes beyond mere survival.

Thanksgiving Gratitude Key To Unlocking Your Quality of Life. Have you ever wondered about Thanksgiving? Is it a day of the year, or is it a way of life? Ever pondered the essence of Thanksgiving? It can be a profound way of living you life.
Engage your brain, master your focus. The realm of brain science unfolds as a vital avenue to unleash our latent potential. Understanding the intricacies of our cognitive processes empowers us to achieve remarkable feats. The Reticular Activating System emerges as a pivotal key, allowing us to govern what captures our attention and shapes our perceptions. In this intricate dance, our eyes and feet share a connection, steering us in the direction of our focus, and reciprocally, we focus in alignment with our movement. The trajectory of our focus determines both our attitude and altitude in life. Mr. Black prompts contemplation— should we regard Thanksgiving merely as a day or embrace it as an enduring way of life?

Why Is Change So Hard? It's Your Identity! Why is it so hard to commit to change a habit? Have you ever found yourself unable to break free from a bad habit or struggled to establish a new, healthy routine?
The challenge lies in understanding the role of your identity in this process. Our habits not only reflect but also shape our identity, and vice versa. To alter our actions, we must first transform how we perceive ourselves. As James Clear emphasizes in his book, "Atomic Habits," all habits form a feedback loop that connects our actions to our identity. The crucial insight is discovering the kind of person we must become to accomplish the things we desire.
Join Mr. Black in the studio with recent graduates of Team 251, who underwent an awakening last weekend by changing their identity. They are now approaching this week with a fresh perspective, doing things differently. Uncover the secret to habit creation and destruction as they share their experiences and insights.

Change Your Perspective, Change The World. Have you ever struggled to see the world from someone else's viewpoint? Have you considered the possibility of changing your current perspective?
True and lasting change often demands a shift in our position. Our position significantly influences our perception. By starting with the end in mind and cultivating empathy—immersing ourselves in another person's experience—we alter our frame of reference for those challenging situations. Changing our position inherently transforms our perspective.
In the hustle and bustle of life, it's easy to overlook the gradual fading of our awareness and presence. This numbness to life's realities can hinder our ability to connect with others. Mr. Black is in the studio with a recent graduate of his Leadership Awakening program, John Paul, who hails from Uganda. Having endured considerable pain and hardship from a young age, John Paul shares his experiences, shedding light on the coping mechanisms developed during childhood and their lasting impact on adulthood. Join the conversation into the profound effects of changing one's position, fostering empathy, and awakening leadership qualities.

Do You Know The Universal Laws?
Have you ever felt like you were on a journey where sometimes things seem to work in your favor, while at other times, it's as if you're working against the flow? These are the 12 Universal Laws, the hidden forces that govern our existence and determine our level of success or failure. Let's explore them.
The Law of Attraction: What you project into the universe, you attract. Positive thoughts and energy bring positive outcomes, while negativity can attract more of the same.
The Law of Cause and Effect: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The choices you make have consequences, whether good or bad.
The Law of Compensation: You receive in proportion to what you give. The universe compensates you for your actions, so sow positivity and reap its rewards.
The Law of Relativity: Everything is relative. Your experiences are shaped by how you perceive them. Challenges may seem daunting or manageable depending on your perspective.
Understanding and harnessing these Universal Laws can be the key to turning the tides in your journey. So, do you know these laws, and are you ready to make them work for you?

Israel, Jerusalem, Palestine, Will There Be Peace? Have you ever wondered why they can't all just get along in the Middle East? Have you ever wondered why Israel is such a lightning rod?
Israel and Jerusalem have long been at the center of a complex conflict in the Middle East, involving both Jewish and Arab populations. The question of peace in the region has remained elusive for generations. The conflict has deep historical roots, with ongoing battles between groups like Hamas and Israel, resulting in a war-torn region. The issue of land ownership, whether it's Israel or Palestine, is at the heart of the conflict.
Mr. Black and Bible teacher Don Noe explore this challenging topic from both a logical and spiritual perspective. Their conversation delves into the historical truths and the complexities of the situation, seeking to shed light on the conflict in this Holy land. While peace remains a distant goal, understanding the historical context is crucial for a more comprehensive grasp of the situation and, hopefully, a path towards peace for the sake of the children of this troubled region.

Life, Warriors Live The Change. Do you possess the vision to discern the ongoing battles in your surroundings? Can you comprehend the dynamics of your environment?
Life is a constant battlefield. Recognizing these conflicts is the inception of transformation. Change stands as the sole unwavering element in our existence. The world undergoes perpetual transformation, and without awareness, we'll remain unprepared for the unfolding events. There are battle zones all around us, and living a life that truly matters involves embracing these battles. To emerge victorious as a warrior, two crucial points must be grasped. Firstly, one must acknowledge being amidst a battle, and secondly, they must determine what they are willing to fight for. Life embodies change, and change entails transitions. Today, on Like it Matters Radio, Mr. Black will establish the fundamental principles of this realization.

Today's Life Is Tomorrow's Hope. Do you feel stuck, stagnant, In a rut? Are you ready to trade hopeless for hopeful?
Hope for tomorrow requires letting go of the pain of yesterday. The battle is in the mind! We must let go of the Past, to create a new future. When we get trapped in the past, the future seems hopeless. For many people the trauma and drama of our past keeps us from being fully present and truly happy in the NOW moment. In order to create hope today, for a better tomorrow, we need to deal with our past hurts, bruises and scars (HBS). Hear how one woman went into Leadership Awakening a closed off recluse. 48 hours later, she is on fire for life and living life OUT there, instead of IN here!

New Beginnings For Your Life. Have you ever wanted a new beginning in your life, but didn't know how to get it? How do you change what you have been doing all your life? Where to start and how?
Life is an ongoing process, marked by continual evolution. It revolves around the art of embracing change, and when you embark on the path of renewal, your entire sense of self undergoes a profound change. In this episode, we delve into the notion that leaders are often destined to remain "under construction," persistently striving to improve a little more each day than they did yesterday and aspire to be a touch better tomorrow than they are today.
While the past remains immutable, the present is where we wield the influence to create meaningful change. We'll cast aside outdated habits and beliefs that no longer serve us. This transformative process allows us to emerge as entirely new beings, with a revitalized identity and the promise of fresh beginnings on the horizon.
Joining us for this enlightening expedition is a remarkable guest, Dave Rogers, the Regional President of Broken Chains Motorcycle Ministry. Dave will generously impart his experiences and insights, illuminating the path of embracing change and evolving one's sense of self, ultimately leading to extraordinary transformations in life.
So, if you're prepared to embark on a voyage of self-discovery, personal growth, and profound transformation, be sure to stay tuned! This episode promises to ignite your inspiration and fuel your motivation to harness the power of becoming "new" in your own life.

What Inspired Them To Change? Their Powerful Story. Have you ever seen someone do something and believe, ‘I would never do that’?
People have a story; Are you helping them with the Rest of their Story? Life scripts are deeply held belief systems about our lives. We act according to our beliefs, so the story we tell ourselves dictates the activities and drive we do and have. Understanding someone’s story helps you to understand their drives and motivations, as well as their fears and doubts. We live in a bitter time, we have created a Chairos that has people self-focused, self-protective, and self-absorbed. Robert Rhome, used to say, "If I can understand you better, and you can understand me better- doesn't it make sense that we are in a position to have a better relationship"?

Guilt by association or blessed by those we are bound to? The quality of the people you associate with. Epigenetics, is the science of how our environment affects us. The people we spend the most time with, or around, have a tendency to influence us the most. One of the greatest influences on a person, is the people they spend time with. It has been said, "You will never rise above the quality of the people you hang out with". Are you getting better by the people you associate with? Or are you being drug down, by your associations? Stories and poetry to get the listener emotionally involved: The story of the Eggs, Carrots and Coffee, the Cookie Thief poem and many other inspirational moments and stories.

Life You Desire, Create It From Our Frame of Reference. Do you sometimes feel that it is hard to change? Do you ever wonder why you do what you do?
Meaning Makers; Creating the life you desire FRAME by frame. The meaning of life is dictated by our FRAME of reference. The Power to change our lives starts with the frame, the narrative. 7 Things needed to reach our potential will be our launching point. It is NOT what happens to us that truly matters, it is how we explain it to ourselves. These frames become filters. Filters are used to eliminate things in order to achieve a desired result. When we use them in cooking, the unwanted elements are dredged, strained, and discarded. When we use them in email, they weed out what (or whom) we don’t want to read. Our lives are similar. If we want to change our lives, we need to change the filter, change the frame, and then we change our lives! Are you ready for some change?

Fear, Can We Use It As An Advantage and How To Harness that Power? Do you understand the fear in your life? How is fear holding you back?
The Purposeful use of fear. Fear has much power and control over many people’s lives. Neuro Associative Conditioning (NAC) is the key to understanding how to use fear to move us in a positive direction. It is the Fears of Rejection, embarrassment and Failure that do more to keep people down than almost anything else in the world. Fear has become a cudgel for others to use against us, and for us to use against ourselves. What is the genesis of these fears, and how can we use them to seek understanding? It is hard to do battle with an enemy you can’t identify. What is your greatest fear? What is the basis for that fear? Mr. Black will take a poem from friend Larry Houghton, ‘Enough’ to build the case for False Evidence Appearing Real.

Power of Remembering, Memorial Day. Memorial Day is about remembering those who paid the ultimate price in battle. What are you willing to pay to win the battles in your life? What are you remembering about your past that inspires your future?

How do you know if you had a good day, a good week, or a good year? What needs to take place for you to consider any of these good?
It is a special episode of ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. “Who you are makes a difference”. We are all given the same amount of time in a day, in a week, in a month and in a year. We might not be able to control the length of our “Dash of our life”, but we can control the width, the intensity. In other words, we might not be able to control how many years we spend on this planet, but we do get to control what we do with our time. There is a GOOD BOOK out there that talks about things that are temporal and things that are eternal. Some things are here for a while, and some things last forever. One of the things that can last forever is what we do with our time on this planet. Are you accumulating things, a following and your own fame and fortune? Or are you accumulating lives that you have touched? Today’s story time will end with a poem comparing Alexander the Great and Jesus of Nazareth to bring home the point that it is in the lives we touch, that give our lives the truest value.

Do you ever make comments like "nothing ever goes right for me"; "everything I touch fails"; "I always mess up"? If you answered yes even to just one of these, your thought life needs detoxing right now. Scoop of poop.
It is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. A personal story about the power of the mind. Research shows that around 87% of illnesses can be attributed to our thought life, and approximately 13% to diet, genetics, and environment. We live in a world that is living in their head. A world in deep thought, meeting and discussing and thinking… but consider what is thinking? Thinking is talking to yourself, it is self-talk. Large parts of depression can be traced back to the way we talk to ourselves. Our thoughts, self-talk, is driven by our beliefs and wrapped up in our emotions. It is a simple pattern and identifiable if you have eyes to see and ears to hear. Today’s story is from Mr. Black’s 30 years of transforming hearts and minds in Leadership Awakening, at www.LikeItMatters.net.

God Created Law Enforcement Officers, what does that mean? It seems obvious, but we seem to have forgotten our local heroes, those warriors who keep our communities safe and protect our individual rights of where we live. The right to freedom of property, freedom of safety and freedom to gather and voice our political opinions. The soldiers on those front lines are Law Enforcement Officers (LEO). LEO’s have a thankless job in America and are themselves targeted and under attack. Most people could not do the job of these brave men and women in blue.

Is your life all about you? Do manners and civility matter anymore?
Today on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black wants to talk about the values and the norms that we consider customary. Part of a parents job is to help their children establish foundational principles that equate to a life, 'well lived'. Words like manners, civility, and ethos are bantered around, but little promoted or considered. It's become a ME-world. When it all becomes about 'ME', there's little room for manners, etiquette and common sense. Today Mr. Black will delve into what the Father of our country, George Washington, built his life on, and that was manners and civility. Tune into Like It Matters Radio, for an hour of power as Mr. Black unpacks: Rules of Civility 110.

Love Is A Verb - Special Episode.
It's ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Mr. Black shares a story that has its roots in love. The message of this story is that when we are prosperous, we underrate Love. When we feel important, we do not appreciate love. And even in happiness and sorrow we overlook love. Only with time we realize the true value of love. Why wait and not cherish Love every day of your life? Of the hodgepodge of emotions out there, and in here- we seem to seek and lose love the easiest. Emotional Intelligence is the ability to use ALL EMOTIONS in an appropriate way. Using the right emotion, at the right time, directed toward the right person and in the right way- this is not easy, however, it is transformational. We live in a world where people are looking for love, and they are looking for it in the wrong places, in the wrong way. One of the reasons for this elusiveness is because we do not know what love is and thus how to find it. Today's inspirational story will help remind us that Love is a VERB, it is not a feeling. For someone so loved, that they did something about it. Enjoy today’s story, titled, Love is a Verb.

Do you know what is needed most in today's troubling times? Do you know what you want from most people, most of the time?
Today on Story Time with Mr. Black, listeners are privy to a touching story about misunderstanding. We are living at a time of the VICTIM. There are so many self-righteously wrapped up in their own pain, trauma, and drama that they miss others who are struggling. When we get so wrapped up in our lives, at the expense of others we supposedly care about- we make things worse, not better. It was funny man, Robin Williams who once said, “Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.” We need understanding! If I can understand you a little better, and you can understand me a little better- doesn’t it make sense we are in a position to have a better relationship. Enjoy today’s Story Time and consider what we all need; Understanding, Get some!

How often do you experience ‘Thanksgiving’? If those closest to you were to be asked the following question about you, what would the response be? “Are you a partaker of Thanksgiving as a Holiday, or as a way of life?
Today is Thanksgiving and Mr. Black wants to get his listeners thinking about what they should be GIVING THANKS for. Thankfulness, or more commonly called, Gratefulness, is a worthy human trait. Thanksgiving is a mindset, it is a frame, it is a proper comparison with how things are, compared with how things COULD BE. On today’s podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black wants listeners to be intentional about the concept of THANKSGIVING, its implications and it’s ramifications. Be inspired and be moved emotionally to consider the frame of gratefulness! The Time is NOW, TO BE satiated by that which you hunger and thirst for, as you consider: Thankful for?

It is a special episode of ‘Story time with Mr. Black’ titled "Persistence". Mr. Black will be sharing 2 poems. The first poem is by Justin Farley and the second by Maya Angelou. Both poems deal with Persistence. In the ‘Stone cutter’ credo by Jacob Riis it is persistence that shines through; “Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before”. We need persistence in the battle to become who we are. We must focus on those things we can control and concern us, if we are to achieve any greatness in life. The Proverbs tell us that a Righteous person will fall 7 times and get back up. But the wicked will stumble into ruin. When we realize we cannot control what happens to us, but we can control what happens to us- a freedom overtakes us that makes others want to be like us! Enjoy today's story called, Persistence! Tune into our new Podcasts every Monday and Thursday, and build the pattern for; Living Life Like It Matters.

Do you know the difference between a subjective experience and an objective experience? Would you like to understand more of how you work and how you create experiences?
On today’s podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black wants listeners to understand the bevy of information available to every leader. Nobody responds to reality, we respond to our map of reality. In other words people are not living an objective life, but we all live, a subjective life. Mr. Black is a Master Practitioner of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming). NLP is the study of subjective experience. Today Mr. Black will pull back the curtains, and share with you some 'Objective Revelation'. If you want to be the best version of yourself and understand your role in your experience called Life, then the TIME IS NOW: Subjective Experience.

Do you understand that what we believe effects everything we do, or do not do? Do you believe it is more important to know the naked truth, than believe a lie?
Most people believe they know the truth and are dealing with the truth. But, what if what you believed was a lie? Would you be willing to change your belief system, if you had evidence that what you believe might not be true? Whatever we decide as truth, effects how we respond to others and how we respond to ourselves. The naked truth is that most people don’t respond to reality, we respond to our map of reality. We don’t respond to the truth, we respond to what we believe to be truth, even if it might be a lie. Enjoy today’s Story Time with Mr. Black and consider; The Naked Truth.

Do you desire to change? Do you understand how change takes place? Would you like to make sure that others notice the change that is happening within you?
On today’s Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black is talking about fruit! Fruit is the external proof of what type a tree, or a bush, it is. Depending on the tree, decides what type of fruit you get. 'Fruit' is not just sweet, juicy produce, it is also the proof of what is inside a person. What people see outside, is a bi-product of what is going on, on the inside! Mr. Black has spent the last 30 years helping people achieve the change in their lives they desire. Real change, can be seen, heard, and felt, by others. It is also said you can tell a man’s religion in times of despair. This proverb means, ‘you can follow the fruit, to the root’. Are you ready to change in a way that others notice? Today Mr. Black will be joined by guests, the discussion being; On the outside looking in.

Think it Through. Do you know ‘Behavior Reinforcement”? Do you understand ‘Behavior modification’? Do you know how we are programmed? Do you want tomorrow to be better than today?
On today's podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, we are going to put our ‘big person’ pants on. Life doesn’t offer ‘DO OVERS’, and it is impossible to go BACK IN TIME. Today Mr. Black is going to challenge listeners to properly process this moment in time. There are times in life that become a ‘fork in the road' moment. Who we hook our wagon to in marriage? Whether we go to college, or to work? Civilian or military, university or technical school, the God of the Bible, or the gods of the world? To remove a life for convenience, or accept the responsibility, and choose life? If you could be convinced that this moment in time is a FORK IN THE ROAD, would you consider that in your vote? The Time is Now to Listen IN, and to Act OUT.

Red Marbles - A Special Story Time with Mr. Black.
On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black sharing a story he calls ‘Red Marbles”. The story is really about discernment. Life can be busy, hectic, and confusing. We must be able to differentiate between what is urgent and what is important. Time is a fixed commodity, we only have so much time and it can never be replaced. We need to make sure we are making the most of our time and that means knowing the existential questions of live: Who am I, why am I here, whose am I, and why do I get up each day, do what I do, go home at night, go to bed, and get up the next day…over and over again?

Today you will be privy to a special conversation between Mr. Black and the CEO of Iron Mechanical, from Sacramento, California. The conversation is about the implementation of a vision. Vision is about seeing into the future and being aware of how the 'dots' connect. Without a vision people, and companies perish!

How about you? Have you considered these three questions? Today’s Story time with Mr. Black will help you answer those three questions and many more.

We hear words thrown around today in an abusive, attacking way. The Word BIGOT and RACIST seem to be the greatest words that have been weaponized against those who we disagree with. Bigotry is defined as obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction; in particular, prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group. Bigotry can be simplified as the possession or expression of strong, unreasonable prejudices or opinions. Today we want to consider how we might be bigoted in lowering the bar of expectations of certain people. Our expectations of others, says a lot about ourselves, not just others. In the study of expectations there are two types of self-fulfilling prophecies. They are called the Pygmalion effect (if a supervisor thinks her subordinates will succeed, they are more likely to succeed) and the Galatea effect (if a person thinks he will succeed, he is more likely to succeed). Today let us consider that it is bigotry to have low expectations of others, based on anything but specific, historical interactions with that person\people.

There’s a GOOD BOOK out there that starts with the first sentence: In the Beginning God created….

We are imagers of God and as His Imagers we have been given similar qualities, and the most important is FREE WILL. Our Thoughts, Our Words, Our actions, Our attitude, and many other daily choices- allow us to create an experience called, OUR LIFE.

If I can understand you a little better, and you can understand me a little better- doesn’t it make sense that we are in a position to have a better relationship? It is important to understand that people can have different perspectives. It is theses perspectives that frame our personal understanding of the issues at hand. It is also important to understand what your wants/needs are from every interaction. When you add your understanding of the patterns around you, to this other 'understanding', you then become the most powerful element in your system.

If we are going to be all that we are created to be, then we need to realize people are watching. There is a saying, “What you are doing speaks so loudly that people don’t need to hear a word you are saying.” In other words, a Picture is worth 1000 words. Vision is the most powerful of all human sensory abilities. We have about 11 million sensory receptors and 10 million of those are dedicated to sight. Once someone sees something, it is hard to discount it, or forget it. Are you aware of what story the pictures of your life are telling?

Today Mr. Black is peddling, HOPE. We hear the constant cry of follow the SCIENCE. Too many are following political science, as they berate others to; ‘follow the science’. Just like a leader, science has its foundation in questioning things. Why does 'that' happen? Does it always happen that way? What causes that to consistently happen? If we look at the 'WHAT' of American chaos and consider the 'WHY', it makes sense. We're dealing with helplessness and hopelessness. When hope is brought in, everything changes! When people are helpless and hopeless they choose differently. ON today’s Living Life Like It Mattes, Mr. Black introduces his listeners to the power and Science of Hope.

With All the talk about pronouns, we might not realize the importance of prepositions in our mental health. A preposition is a word that shows direction, location, or time. In today's world of poor mental health, I am positing that the key to good EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE is in the prepositions! In today’s America, people are living driven by a SPIRIT OF OFFENSE. It seems like everybody is keeping a ‘record of wrong’, what we call a ‘pound of flesh’. The problem is that whatever we focus on affects us, and it dictates our direction. If you are going to be the BEST OF THE BEST, and live your life like it matters, then you must focus in a way that empowers you to be that BEST VERSION of yourself. Instead of focusing on what happened TO you, maybe change your focus to “what is happening IN you”. Enjoy Today’s Story time with Mr. Black; What happens in you matters most.

Have you ever thought you were there? Have you ever realized that as much as you know, there is so much more to know? Have you ever wondered how to go to the next level?
Many people can outperform others with their natural gifts and talents. When our outcome is just to be better than others, we have a tendency to live in a state of, GOODNUFF. Good enough for government work, good enough for tenure, good enough that I am doing better than most, good enough that He\She doesn’t walk out the door and leave a note on the door…. It is easy to get focused on our strengths or to let our EGO convince us we are better than that-them-this. However, if your goal is to be the best version on yourself, then Constant and Never-ending Improvement require that we focus on your weaknesses to turn them into strengths.

The great struggling comedian Robin Williams famously said, “Everyone you meet is
fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.” Today on Storytime with Mr.Black we will hear a story about the impact of one person. We can sometimes get so wrapped up in our own world, that we forget that others have their own struggles. “If I can understand you a little bit better, and you can understand me a little bit better, then it makes sense that we are in a position to have a better relationship. One smile to a stranger can change their life. One compliment can improve someone’s day. Never forget the importance of spreading joy and kindness to the world. What we need in America is not stimulus, not a Dem or a Rep president or Congress- what we need is Mercy, Grace, and most of all UNDERSTANDING. Think about that as you listen to the Sandpiper story.

We think about the challenges of life. We cannot control many things in life, but what we can control are ourselves and our responses. Someone famously said, “Our Attitude creates our altitude!” We cannot control what happens TO us, but we can control what happens IN us. Which one are you more like… the Egg, the Carrot, or the Coffee bean?

Motivation is the act of MOVING people, and ideas. It is literally to MOVE someone. We are all driven by things from our past. Unless we realize we are driven by things, then we will never consider how to change what we are doing. By going back to the PAST and doing some 'clean up' work. By the time a child is 5-years old a majority of their 'Map of Reality' is in place. Everything we do, or do not do, is driven by that structure called, Beliefs. Mr. Black is wrapping up his week in Sturgis at the 82nd annual Motorcycle Rally. Enjoy today's conversation as Mr. Black talks with Reggie and Johnetta Lewis from Open Bible Church about drivers! Motivations and things from the past form the RIDE OF OUR LIFE. Today Mr. Black and the guests will consider what causes some to take the: Ride to Sturgis.

Goal setting, outcome setting, and mission accomplishing are all activities of a Leader. As the famous adage goes, “The best-laid plans of mice and men…. Which means in the middle of your plans, STUFF HAPPENS! How we respond to the ‘stuff’ that life throws at us, is more important than the ‘STUFF” that happens. In other words, “It is NOT what happens to us that matters, but what happens INSIDE OF US, that truly matters! Are you ready to turn Obstacles into Opportunities?

Some things in life are worth fighting for. Are you fighting for those things that are important to you? In order to fight the "good fight" you must know at least 2 things. First, you would need to know what is 'The good fight', and secondly, you need to know how to fight that fight. The DESIRE to be more, impact more, to make a difference comes from a Warrior mindset. Today Mr. Black is joined by fellow Warrior, Kevin Parker for a passionate discussion about Warrior Training.

Are you convinced there is nothing you can do to change those things you like the least about yourself? Do you feel like your past, has determined your future? Are you hitting a wall, because of what you believe is the “Writing on the Wall”?
Be sure to Like and Follow us on our facebook page. Check out our website www.LikeItMatters.Net.
Do you fear the ‘Writing on the wall”? "The writing on the wall" is an idiomatic expression that suggests a portent of doom or misfortune, based on the story of Belshazzar's feast in the book of Daniel, Chapter 5. Life has a ‘chain of causation' to it. Our actions create patterns, and our patterns create habits, and those habits create a character and that is what we are judged upon! The Good News is that the ‘Writing on the Wall’, can be positive, it can be good, it can be transformational. It is all based on our Belief Systems, our Values, and our Self-Talk. When how 140 we live our lives like they matter- the writing on the wall, changes, as we change!

How deep are your relationships? Do you have an intimacy issue? No, I did not ask for a medical diagnosis of ED, I asked if you can go below the surface with people in your life? Do you let people IN, and are you IN others’ lives?

Intimacy in Relationships is what makes them sweet, special, and lasting. The word intimacy gets conflated with physical relationships, when people think of intimacy they think of sex. That is probably why there is lots of sex going on, but very little intimacy. Intimacy is best understood by saying the word, phonetically. INTO ME SEE, see into me- that is intimacy. Intimacy requires desire, trust, safety, and self-confidence. It has less to do with the other person, and more to do with how comfortable we are in our own skin. Would you like more intimate relationships?

Mr. Black continues talking about mental health. What does good mental health mean? How can one achieve a level of maturity and growth where they can become more emotionally intelligent? Communication is a transaction, the more you can understand how the other person is thinking and feeling, the better you can communicate to get what you both want from the interaction. This applies to the communication we have with others, as well, as our self-talk. If you want to change your life, you must change your thinking!

Motivation is the ability to move someone. It is the reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way. It is our WHY? The WHY is critical because it is the emotional involvement. Without the emotional involvement we give up, we give in, we give away our power and our freedom! As leaders, we need to understand our motivation why we are doing what we are doing. The right motivation at the right time can change lives, destinations, and eternity!

On Todays Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black wants to go in depth on the topic of Leadership. What is lacking today in most of our environments is effective Leadership. If you were to consider the question, “What are the most effective qualities of a leader”? What would your answer be? Why is that important? Because we are either leading or following in life. If you are NOT LEADING, then you are following. If you are leading, where are you taking yourself and others that follow? If you are following, where is that person taking you? Is that where you want to go? Is that what your life is about? One thing is very clear in our world today. We are experiencing Leadership Vacuums. Voids, spots where we are in the mire, we are in a situation that does not have a good outcome, and we need some leaders to step up and fill the void.

Today Mr. Black will turn to the ‘Good Book’ and use the story of the vision of Isaiah, in the throne room of God, from Isaiah 6. Courage by definition is only available in the presence of fear. In these moments on ‘applied courage’ we grow, and we learn what we are made of. If we avoid moving through fear and dealing with FEAR, we tend to limit our potential and our impact. What do we do with our failures from the past? How do we integrate the pain and disappointments of the past into our present situation, so we can grow from them into our better tomorrow? What we do with our past, how we move through fear, and the hope we encounter on the way, all come from- COURAGE. Enjoy today’s Story Time, Courage: Get some, give some.

Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black wants us to consider our behavior and our identity. Mr. Black will remind us of a biblical parable and take that learning and meld it with how our unconscious minds work. Dr. Robert Dilts did much work with logical levels. It is posited that from a psychological point of view, there seem to be six levels that human beings work with most often, and they are in a hierarchy. Like with all systems, the Logical Levels have laws that govern them. By understanding the human experience, and structure of that experience, we can truly unpack our ‘stuff’, and ‘repack’ it better. Do you attach your behavior to your identity? On today’s Living Life Like It Matters podcast, Mr. Black wants to remind his listeners of the story of the Prodigal son.

On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black wants to talk about life. Life is this journey that we are all on, doing it, our own way. We create meaning in, and throughout our lives. We need to occasionally check our luggage, to see if we have any unwanted ‘Stowaways’. Did you know that nobody responds to reality, we respond to our belief about the ‘reality’ of the moment?

On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black wants to remind his listeners about the importance of May, as National Mental Health Awareness month. Have you noticed how bitter and broken people seem to be? Have you seen all the ‘rich and famous’ who become helpless and hopeless and end it all? Depression and suicide come down to helplessness and hopelessness. When we have a PASSION for a PURPOSE- HOPE becomes a byproduct. When we know our reason WHY, then HOW, or WHAT are easier questions to find solutions for. What is needed is Passion, which brings with her, Hope. Just like darkness hates the light, because when IT (light) comes, IT (darkness) must go away. The same is true for Passion and HOPE, they send Helpless and Hopeless, packing! Enjoy today’s Story Time with Mr. Black titled, ‘What sends your heart to heaven?”.

Depression is a mathematical equation. My life is hard, tough, and unfair today…and tomorrow will be no different. Have you ever been there? Have you ever considered that the pain of life, is no longer worth the burden of life? Have you ever been at your ‘wits end’, and ready to walk away from everything? If you have been at that place, or are there today- there is hope that tomorrow can be better.

On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black will dive deep into the reality of Suicide. In 30 years of working at the deep, structural level, Mr. Black has learned: Hurting people, hurt people. One of those people, hurting people hurt, is themselves. Suicide is in the Top 10 of ways people die in America. In the pandemic of disrespect and our wanton rebellion against authorities called Law Enforcement Officers, (LEO), more police officers are being killed in the line of duty than ever before. As high as that number is, more police die from suicide than from other perps. Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in adolescence. Hopeless and helpless are killing us! The prescription is HOPE, and each of us can administer it in large, and small doses! In honor of National Mental Health Awareness month, Mr. Black is going to talk about a prescription for what is killing us. Have you considered, HOPE? Hope is the answer for the helpless and the hopeless. Enjoy today’s podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, as Mr. Black talks, and brings understanding about; It's killing me.

On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black wants to be mindful that May is National Mental Health Awareness month. There is a pandemic hitting America and is not a virus from China. It is deteriorating Mental Health. Suicide is in the TOP 10 for how people die in America. It is in the top 3, for teens\adolescents! We have a tendency to blow of these mental struggles or feel that we are not qualified to help. I want you to understand, that we can all impact this pandemic in a positive way. As author Edward Everett Hale, so famously stated: “I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do”.

What do you fear the most? What has fear kept you from accomplishing, or having? Fear shows up in many ways, in many forms. Fear causes pain, trepidation, and lost opportunities. Fear is a great motivator, and an even more powerful, demotivator. How we respond to this chemical reaction called FEAR, dictates our levels of success, relationship, and inner turmoil.

On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Storytime with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black wants you to consider the undulating line of life. Life has highs and it has lows; peaks and valleys- what we call desert experiences. Many people seem to be in a perpetual desert experience. There is a reason for the desert, for our valleys- if we don’t learn the lesson from the valley, then we never get out of our deserts! When the Israelites left Egypt in the Exodus, the journey should have taken no more than 2 weeks, yet it took 40 years. Approximately 2 million people walked out of Egypt and went into the desert and only 2 who left, entered their destination. Besides those 2; Joshua and Caleb, all others who entered the promised land, were created in the desert itself. This is how people fail in life- we don’t get to the place that we were designed to get to! We settle and we tend to let our fear, doubt, and the DESERT keep us from our PROMISED LAND! There is value in the Desert, there is a lesson to learn and until you learn that lesson, you will never get out of your desert and onto your mountain!

Do you know that the typical human being has 30-60,000 thoughts per day? Did you know that social media, with its constant access to us, affects more of what we do than most want to consider? Have you considered what goes on in your head; your thoughts, your fears, your doubts, your worries, your dreams, and your desires are running 24\7? Think about that: As much of an impact as social media is on the typical user, consider how much more impact your personal\internal “social media” has on you!

On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black is going to talk about influencers. We think of influencers in the 'dictionary defined' way. By definition, an influencer is a person who guides or inspires the actions of others. Think about that; What influences you the most? Social media refers to the means of interactions among people in which they create, share, and/or exchange information and ideas in virtual communities and networks. In today’s world, circa 2022, an influencer is also defined as a person who is able to generate interest in something by posting on social media. Billy Graham once said, "Any preacher worth his/her weight, will have a Bible in one hand and a newspaper in the other." In other words, if your message doesn't deal with today's issues, then you’re not going to influence people's behaviors and beliefs. Have you considered what effect your 30-60,000 thoughts daily have on you? What about your ‘family of origin’ issues, your beliefs, values, your mentors…? Tune into Like It Matters Radio for an hour of power as Mr. Black takes a look at our personal influencers, as he covers the topic; Controlling our Social Media.

On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Storytime with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black wants you to consider this question: Do people plan to fail? Life is busy, life is hectic, and life is ever-changing, and Life can be good, it can be troubling, it can be hard. Our lives are a direct result of our choices and the choices we make become the sum total of our whole life. Confusing right-- because life is confusing at times. Life is what we make it! That is the key, we are in control of our lives, whether by choice or by non-choice, we have at the least, permissive will in our lives. I learned a long time ago, that people don't plan to fail in life, rather, they fail to plan their lives and they get whatever happens, while they are serving time. It is time to get back on the roller-coaster called Life, it is an undulating line with peaks and valleys. Is it time to consider your mission and vision?

On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black will be joined by a recent graduate of Leadership Awakening. It is said that a picture is worth 1000 words. In other words, an example, speaks better than a statement. Today Mr. Black wants to go into the purpose of our existence. We are significant creatures, created for a significant purpose, to make a significant difference. In order for our actions to meet that prose, we must choose the type of vessels we will be. We can either be a CONDUIT, or a Cistern. Add to that decision the Mantras of your life- the Core Belief Systems that govern your existential meaning. This creates a powerful drive and desire to do what others think is impossible. A true Conduit, living a life of significance, would claim the mantra: 'See a Need, Meet a Need!

On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Storytime with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black wants us to consider what makes a man? In the latest political warzone, we had the chance to replace a Supreme Court justice. One of the most telling moments was when a female Senator asked a female judge a simple question, “Define what a woman is”. This female judge, who has been privileged to go to the finest schools America has to offer, and who is very intelligent, paused. This woman who was appointed the lofty position of an appellate judge and now, a Supreme Court judge, gave an answer that shook many to their core. Her answer was, “I can’t say- I’m not a biologist”. At that moment we understood that America has forever changed. Today, I want to focus on Men with the same question about us. “What makes a man”, “How do you define a man”? There has been a war on men for decades and it has been very effective. Men are confused, and we are all paying the price for that confusion. Today’s storytime with Mr. Black will have some poetry from a real man- John Wayne, and some data from a leader of men, Steve Farrar. Enjoy today’s story, titled, Man up!

On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black will be joined by a recent graduate of Leadership Awakening. Mr. Black will ask questions that allow Kim to share the impact of living 48 hours in the world of Mr. Black. In that world, epigenetics is taught and applied. What we do in our head, affects what we do in our lives. If other people said and did to us, what we do in our own heads- we would never tolerate that. From this understanding, I've coined the phrase: 'I've met the enemy and he's living in my shorts'. Have you ever considered the power of what goes on in your head to affect everyday choices and actions? What if you could take control of the space between the stimulus and the response, and change your life? There are many things we cannot control in life, and there are many things we can! Choices have consequences and choosing to be aware and control our self-talk, has great consequences and opportunities. Today Mr. Black will help his listeners understand the POWER and FREEDOM of Epigenetics.

On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Storytime with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black wants to have us examine our lives. Living an examined life it the only way to true success and significance. One cannot accidentally live a successful or significant life. It takes much self-reflection, adjustment, and desire to become your BEST SELF. When we examine our lives and make adjustments based on key existential questions of who am I, why am I here, how do I want to be remembered- that makes our lives WORTH LIVING. Have you ever considered that through the self-examination process we get better? Do you understand the belief and desire to improve the quality of your life and relationships? These questions reveal the level of desire to be the best version of yourself. If you are not who you want to be and you are not doing what you need to be doing- might I suggest the remedy to your rut is self-examination. On today’s storytime with Mr. Black we will hear from Maya Angelou and Paul Harvey about the wisdom of moving around on our Timeline.

On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black wants to talk about our focus. As human creatures, our bodies are like a machine. We need to understand the machine, to run more effectively, and efficiently and get as close to our potential as possible. In the Battle to become the best possible version of ourselves there are many important points to consider. One of the greatest predictors of our quality of life is our FOCUS. In 30 years of developing leaders at www.LikeItMatters.net, one of the most important things I realized is that Leaders remember the right things. When I say Leader, I mean a good leader, a powerful leader, a leader worth his\her weight. As part of the human condition- we all remember things. When we learn that our focus dictates our direction, we become more aware of our choices. If we are constantly focused on the wrong things; Negativity, short-comings, victimhood, ‘poor me’, the past…life ain’t no fair- we move in a very negative, bitter direction. The great news is that when we change our focus, we change our direction. Enjoy today’s podcast titled; Remember the Right Things.

On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Storytime with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black wants to recognize those who served in one of America’s most unpopular wars, the Vietnam War. March 29, 2022, was the official Vietnam Veterans Remembrance day. In recognition of the great service and sacrifice of those brave men and women, Mr. Black will be sharing a great story about the return of a Vietnam Veteran after 7 years in captivity as an enemy combatant in Vietnam. Gerald L. Coffee is the man who the story is about. He was shot down over the China Sea on February 3, 1966, and 7 years later, was released to return to his family on February 3, 1973. The story that is recounted is by David McNally from, “The Power of Optimism”, by Alan Loy McGinnis. The story is a great reminder of how things can always be much worse, and how we need to do our best in whatever moment we find ourselves in. The greater message of the story is that our Beliefs matter, and used properly they can propel us to be overcomers and over-achievers if we are willing to remember, the RIGHT THINGS!

Today on like it Matters Radio Mr. Black wants to go into the structure of our experience, Words. There is a proverb that says, ‘if the only tool we have in our toolbox is a hammer, then we see every problem as a nail’. As a leader, understanding the needs of the moment go a long way towards the impact we can have on people. Words are one of the instruments that leaders use to get what they want, to convey a message and to create a vision. Just like Emotional Intelligence is using the right emotion at the right time and in the right way- increases the effectiveness of the leader. The same ability in the use and form of our words, is similarly powerful. To know the need, and the form of the right words, at the right time, for the right purpose- its strategically important. Words can build you up, or they can break you down. The right word at the right time can change someone's life. Today, Mr. Black wants to focus on a specific way we use Words in a rhythmic pattern and rhymes. Poetry is a powerful way to put words together that touch people in a deep way, emotively. There is a time for everything under the sun, as the Good Book says, so today let us be INSPIRED. Poetry at the right time, with the Right message is not easily forgotten! Today, let Mr. Black give you some hope with some prose! Enjoy today’s podcast titled; Words that rhyme, for a State of Mind.

On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black will be going to the Middle East to visit our friend Goha. Stories are multi-dimensional abacus’ of learning. Stories, metaphors, parables, fables are great literary tools to help create meaning, understanding and possibilities. One of the great things about stories is when the story is finished the moral, or the lesson of the story seems so transparent, so clear that it seems to be common sense. Common sense can usually be brought about by critical thinking. In America we used to pride ourselves as great thinkers! Today with Mass Formation, State Run Media protecting their candidates that they agree with, with political lines being drawn so vividly and acrimoniously- there seems to be little place for critical thinking, challenging our own assumptions, and what many would call COMMON SENSE. Today’s stories about Goha are simple stories designed to remind us of the basics. It is time to get back to the basics of life and today’s story time with Mr. Black is a new opportunity to do just that. Enjoy today's story called, Common Sense, Critical Thinking- Get some!

On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black is going to use the war in Ukraine to talk about Leadership and to remind us of our own humble beginnings as a nation. We were once a small formation of people with a desire to have a freedom of religion and one of self-rule and self-government. We attempted to separate from a Power that was far greater than the newly forming nation. It would take great desire, great commitment, and great leadership to pull off the great experiment. It has been posited that Leadership is an art, it is a choice, and it is driven by values. Today on Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black wants us to consider what are the great qualities of great leaders? Those that were active in the forming of our nation are called, The Founding Fathers. George Washington, because of his role in America’s freedom and formation, is often called the Father of our Country. Enjoy today’s Story Time with Mr. Black titled, The Father of Leadership.

On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black will talk about direction. Our direction dictates our destination. Our Maker, our Creator, put our eyes in the front of our face. That was done so that we focus in the direction of our movement, and move in the direction of our focus. Life is movement, everything around us is moving. The question we must ask ourselves today is, 'Which way you Going?’ Survival and 'Thrival', have different coordinates! 'Getting through' life and living life, 'Like It Matters', require 2 different focuses! Mr. Black will be joined by a recent graduate of Like It Matters, Leadership Awakening, to share the power of that focus! Enjoy today’s podcast titled, Regret, Resentment, Resistance.

On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black is going existential on his listeners! It was Dr. Viktor Frankl in the death camp of Auschwitz that came up with the concept of Logo therapy. Dr. Frankl posited, that even in suffering, if we can find meaning\purpose in that suffering, it can have value. We are in an existential crisis. Existential questions are meant to have us consider what is the meaning of OUR LIFE. Man has a WILL TO MEANING and without that understand we are merely existing. We are innately PURPOSE driven people. Without those deep underlying drivers, we can float through life without deriving great meaning or significance. On today’s story time Mr. Black will expand on this point by looking at the famous composer, Beethoven. Enjoy today’s story time with Mr. Black, titled, WHY, Beethoven.

On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black reminds us of the great scripture from the LOVE chapter in the Bible. 1 Corinthians 13:11 says, "When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me." There in a nutshell is the problem with the World, our Country, our relationships, and our Emotional Intelligence- we're behaving like children! The solution is to think and act, differently. Today Mr. Black will talk about the 4+1 C’s of Leadership, tell a few stories, and go in depth on the hierarchy of Needs and Emotional Intelligence, (EQ) As the Father of 4 children Mr. Black taught his children early on: 1- The world does NOT revolve around them. 2- there is a huge difference between WANT and NEED. Today’s Podcast will cause the listener to dig deep and consider….!

As we watch the chaos that is the world circa 2022, we watch the war in UKRAINE between a small former satellite country of the former USSR, and Mother Russia, unfolding. We seem to be reckoned back to a time when America was a liberal, progressive mess and Iran and Russia were wreaking havoc on the world. Looks like we are going back to the “OLD DAYS” The Soviet Union, officially the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), was a socialist state that spanned Eurasia during its existence from 1922 to 1991- US President Ronald Reagan answer the call and destroyed that empire. It was in the 1980’s that America got its newest version of a hero, when Ronald Reagan brought America back to prominence and dismantled the Soviet Union and won the COLD WAR. Today we see the HEROES in Ukraine picking up arms and laying down the comforts of modern life to confront a foreign adversary much greater than they are. The president, Zelensky. offered safe exit by BIDEN, declines, and chooses to stay and fight- that is what we would call, HEROIC! What the world needs today to confront the lies of State Run Media, the manipulation and censorship of the DEEP STATE- are HEROES! When all is hopeless and helpless it is a HERO, who makes things better? Are you that Hero?

Are you so busy making your point, that you are not understanding another’s? Do you miss information in your life that would help you make better decisions and choices? Are you seeking first to understand and then, be understood? Do you understand the COST of not understanding? Do you get the VALUE of understanding?
On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black wants to discuss the cost and value of understanding. We seem to be living in a time where we are so busy proving we are right, and fighting our personal fight- that we have lost the ability to seek UNDERSTANDING. If I can understand you a little better and you can understand me a little better- doesn't it make sense we are in a position to have a better relationship? It is NOT justice that is so badly needed in our world, it is understanding. With all the hatred, bitterness, anxiety, and fear in our worlds, we need a remedy to what ails us! Mr. Black will logically suggest that the answer is not pharmacological, it is not political- it is personal, and it is mental! The most important thing to remember about understanding is that it is AVAILABLE! It is time to open up our heads and our hearts to some understanding! Enjoy today’s podcast, as Mr. Black lays out the case for: The Value of Understanding. Tune into our new Podcasts every Monday and Thursday, and build the pattern for; Living Life Like It Matters.

Have you ever set yourself up for failure by having low expectations? Have you ever noticed how when you lower expectations, you usually get what you expect? Have you noticed when you Raise the Bar on your expectations, you approach things differently? Awareness is a requirement of becoming a Self-Actualized person. Are you aware of how your expectations of others and self, have great impact on our outcomes?
On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black is going to the movies for his Story Time. It has been said that “Life imitates art”. Let us also remember that the truth is the truth, no matter if it comes through a fictional character or an actual person. It is the meaning, the lesson and the word that matter, more so than the story, and the fact of truth or fiction. Today’s story time is called, “Raise the Bar of Expectations”. The Law of Attraction believes that what you focus on tends to direct your path. The Good Lord put the eyes in the front of our face because we move in the direction of our focus, and we focus in the direction of our movement. In Management \ Leadership principles, it goes like this; our expectations of ourselves and of others have a huge impact on the attitude we have towards that person and the way we perceive who they are and what they are doing.

Do you consider leadership the art of motivating, swaying, and impacting others? Based on that criterion, how many people are you moving and in what direction? Is it daily part of your outcome to impact other people and give them permission to be better today, than yesterday and better tomorrow than today? How many people will look back at your relationship with them and say, “He made me do it”? How many will mean that positively and how many, negatively?
On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black will seek to expand the understanding of the power of Leadership. Leadership is an opportunity every human being has to sway other human beings. Leadership at its core is about motivating others. Motivation is about moving people, helping them move in a direction that is beneficial and positive. There is great power in understanding how the human creature works and understanding the power of Leadership. How could Hitler move so many to do so much evil? How could Jesus move so many to do so much righteousness? How do we explain group think, mass formation, or pack mentality? What about the concept of critical Mass, a psychic trend that grabs others in its path, like a tsunami? People are always watching, using us an example. We must consider, are we an example of what they would desire to be? Or are we living an example of what they would never want to be?

Are you interested in a successful life, or is significance your desired outcome? Success is about us, our kingdom, our accolades, and our accomplishments. Significance requires others. How many people would say that their life is better because it has crossed paths with your life? How many people would call you a main influence in their life, for good?
On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black will have his listeners consider if they are a ROSE by any other name. One of the most famous lines in Romeo and Juliet is, “A Rose by any other name would smell as sweet”! Today’s story is about a woman named ROSE, but it could be about a guy named Bob, or a girl names Sue. The story is about the impact of our lives on others. Shakespeare’s famous quote implies that what someone or something is called does not change their innate characteristics or attributes. In other words, ‘the nature of a thing is more important than what it is called’. Today’s story time is about considering the IMPACT we have on others.

Do you consider yourself a role model? Are you moving people closer to what you believe and what you do, or are they using you as an example of what they would never do? Do you live your life as if someone is always watching you? How do you know if you are successfully moving people in a positive direction or a negative direction?
On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black wants to remind us, people are watching. People are using us as an example of what they would love to be like- or never be like! The pictures of our life, our actions, our interactions, and our relationships speak so loudly that people don’t need to listen to the story you are telling them. We have all heard it said that a picture is worth 1000 words. So the question we have to ask ourselves is ‘What story are my actions telling’? Neuro Associative Conditioning posits that we are moving toward enjoyment, or moving away from pain. We are role models, are we moving people closer to our values and beliefs, or are they moving away? Are people using you as a role model of what they want to be like, or are they using you as an example of what they'd never want to be? Enjoy today’s podcast titled, Can I get a witness?

On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black wants to encourage his listeners to embrace adversity and to be uncomfortable. Have you considered; we have a tendency to desire and seek comfort, but it is in adversity and learning to overcome, that we develop into the best version of ourselves?

Those three questions will help a leader develop a CLEAR VISION. However, sometimes we need to ask another question, and that question is, “What am I doing here?’ Sometimes, we need to consider that where we are at, is beneath who we are!

Everything we do, or do not is driven by a Belief System. Those beliefs make you decide what is good or bad, right or wrong, and a truth and a lie.

Do you want more out of life? Are you surviving, succeeding or are you going for the BIG KAHUNA, and striving for significance? Why do you get up each day, do what you do, go home at night and do it again and again and again? How do you know if you have been successful this day, this week, this month, this year, or in your life? How do you define success? What type of business are you in?
On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black gets in your business. If you have a J O B, and you get paid from that job, then you- most likely- spend a majority of your waking hours at that job. Whatever you do to ‘make a living’, whatever you get paid for with the mortgaging of your time for money—we are all in the People business. There are three levels of living: Survival, Success, Significance. Survival is the default mode of the Human Experience. Success is about making a name, a Kingdom, a family, a legacy, a future…for yourself and those close enough to you to get some of your ‘overflow’. Significance, however, requires a change of focus. As leaders, we are either Conduits, or Cisterns. A cistern holds things, whereas a conduit, moves things. A cistern is about gathering and holding, a conduit is a pass-through agent. If we truly want to maximize the potentials we were created with, then Significance is calling! If we are in the People business you must learn about the creature called the human being. The patterns, the reasons why, how people process the past and the future, how people learn to overcome…. On today’s podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black will establish this thesis and then provide supporting evidence to support this position.

Do you ever get emotionally hijacked? Do you feel like your emotions control you, instead of you controlling your emotions? At your age are you finding it easier to forget, than to forgive? Do you keep a ‘Record of Wrong’? How heavy is your ‘Pound of Flesh’ getting? Do you want more out of life? Would you like to have the right emotion, at the right time, for the right reason, directed toward the right person? If your answer to any of these questions is, YES- Then you have found a good starting point!
On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black will be talking about Emotional Intelligence. Emotional Intelligence (EQ), is the ability to sense, understand, and effectively apply the power and acumen of emotions as a source of human energy, information, connection, and influence. We live in a country and a time, where emotions seem to get the best of people. We pretend to want the truth, we pretend we, ‘follow the science’, but really we follow our FEELINGS, to create our ‘personal’ TRUTH and our SCIENCE. Psychology today posits that Emotional intelligence is the ability to identify and manage one’s own emotions, as well as the emotions of others. Daniel Goleman who is considered one of the Fathers of Emotional Intelligence puts grave value in leaning the SKILL of Emotional Intelligence, “If your emotional abilities aren't in hand, if you don't have self-awareness, if you are not able to manage your distressing emotions, if you can't have empathy and have effective relationships, then no matter how smart you are, you are not going to get very far.” If you want to RAISE YOUR BAR, to become better, to become more then you need, EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE.

Do you have a ‘Bucket List’? Do you have a TO DO list? Do you have a friends list? You know, those few people who you could call at any time, from anywhere and they would respond? Do you have a list of “people to stay away from’, or “People to hang around”? How many people’s ‘good’ list are you on? How many people’s ‘bad’ list are you on? Remember at Christmas time we learned… that Santa Claus is making a list and checking it twice, we’re gonna find out who has been naughty and nice…. If there were 2 universal lists, one called SUCCESS, and the other called, SIGNIFICANCE- which one of those would the WORLD put you on?
On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black talks about LISTS. The human creature works through lists. Some of the most famous lists: Bucket List- things to do before we die, No-Fly list- for those who make the government upset, Emily’s list- for those who believe that a women’s most important right is abortion, The “A” list- for top-of-the-line celebrities, TO DO list, and men- we have our HONEY DO, list. People keep and make lists, government keep and make lists. At the end of the year, many people make a list of memories from the year, things that they experienced and people that they encountered. It is a list of memories and memorabilia and each of us is on a list somewhere, or on someone’s list, somewhere. When you live your life like it matters, that mindset has a tendency to impact many people and get you added to their list of, “People who have made a significant different in my life”. Today Mr. Black wants you to consider: Who’s List are you on? Tune into our new Podcasts every Monday and Thursday, and build the pattern for; Living Life Like It Matters.

As the New Year begins, have you made commitments, goals, or resolutions? Success doesn’t happen by accident, and people are an important ingredient to all of our success. In planning your NEW YEAR, what will your metric be? 12 months from now, what needs to have happened in order for you to claim 2022 a success? What is your measuring stick for the New Year? What is the currency of success for this next 12 months? As you look back at your past, are there any people that stand out? Are there any difference-makers in your life? How did they make an impact on your life? As we move from the Holidays of 2021, into the living\workdays of 2022- what is your focus, what is your outcome and how many people will benefit from having crossed your path this year?
Today’s Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black will be sharing a story by Sister Helen Morsia, called ‘All the Good Things”. As we begin a New Year, people are usually more focused on planning out the New Year, beginning with the ‘End in Mind’, setting some goals, and doing some basic vision casting work. As you begin your New Year, planning on having a great year- what are the outcomes that you want to achieve? As we look back at our lives, in order to plan for our future, we realize that it is really about people. It is the people, and those intimate, personal relationships that come from the investment of time into people. After the Holidays there is much loneliness and much depression. People need encouragement, they need other people, and they need to know they matter. Each one of us has the ability to be a DIFFERENCE MAKER by investing in, and encouraging other people. Today’s story is about the impact of a leader willing to encourage and focus on “All the Good Things”. Enjoy today’s Story Time with Mr. Black.

What are the most important lessons you learned from this last year? What do you want to accomplish in 2022? December 31, 2022, as you look back on your year, what happened that made ’22 such an incredible success? How do you know if a day, a week, a month, or a year is successful? If ‘A’ happened in ’22 then it would be a failure- what is ‘A’? Do you spend more time planning a weekend getaway, than you do your life?
On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black is encouraging his listeners to take inventory and make visions. We need to learn from this closing year, and plan for a new year- if we are to live our lives, LIKE THEY MATTER. The Saying, “Out with the old, in with the new” means to leave old things or ideas behind and start fresh with new things or ideas. People usually say this at the beginning something new, or the ending of something old. The time between Christmas and New Years is the time for this reflection. The time between New Years celebration and fully engaging the NEW YEAR is the time to ‘begin with the end in mind’, and see the outcomes we want to create. On todays Living Life like it Matters podcast, Mr. Black will pose many questions that can help us retain the most profitable of 2021, and create the patterns for a highly successful 2022.

How did your Christmas season go? Was your Holiday celebration a success? What makes your time have great value? What is the cost of what you purchased for people this Christmas? What is the value of the time you spent finding that perfect gift? What is the value of the time you spent with those who truly matter? What will bring you more RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT? Will your loved ones find more value in what you spent ON THEM, or the time you spent WITH THEM?
On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today’s story time is about VALUE. We exchange our time for other things. Time is a fixed commodity, we only have so much. Where all other things can be replaced, renewed, or revived- times is a limited and rare commodity. We have a tendency to worship money and the perceived control it seems to give us. But it is the commodity of time that increases in value as we age. During this holiday season there is much time and money spent. We need to ask ourselves how are we spending both, our time and our money, and where are we getting the greatest returns? As a leader we need to understand the difference between expensive and valuable. Our understanding of these two words will dictate how, where and why we spend both our time and our money. As adjectives the difference between valuable and expensive is that valuable is having a great value while expensive is having a high price or cost. I pray this Christmas season your received great value on all the expensive things you purchased. Enjoy today’s Story, Valuable vs Expensive!

Against whom, or what do you judge yourself? If we are to LIVE an examined life we will judge ourselves based on certain criteria. Where is your standard? Where is your BAR? Do you have high expectations in success and failure? Do you resist the urge to be satiated with GOODNUFF? Good enough to be better than many? Good enough that he\she doesn’t walk out the door and leave a note on the wall? Good enough for Government work? Good enough for tenure?
On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black Mr. Black will be joined by recent graduate of Leadership Awakening Team 230 Jeremy Rowles. Mr.’s Black and Rowles will talk about expectations. One of the key phrases Of Like It Matters, Leadership training is - Raise the Bar. To RAISE THE BAR the bar is to have high expectations, to have a high standard. There are scientific reasons to have high expectations. The Galatea and Pygmalion effects are two important management theories based on the power of expectations. The fundamental difference between the two theories is that the Galatea effect is based on an individual's expectations about themselves, whereas the Pygmalion effect is based on the premise of people's expectations of others. Our expectations determine our direction and drive. Our expectations effect our outcomes, more than we realize! Today’s discussion will help recognize the powerful benefits of having high expectations, of ‘Raising The Bar’! Enjoy today's Podcast titled, “The Bar”.

Do you question yourself? Do you live an examined life? When was the last time you asked yourself any of the following questions? Who Am I? Why am I here? If today was my last day on this planet, how will I be remembered? How many lives are better off today because your lives have intersected? Am I willing to speak up to the lies, and propaganda that has become America, or am I just interested in not being cancelled? Do I know what to do, based on WHO I AM? The ‘Good Book’ tells us, “It is appointed for man to die one time, then comes the judgment. What is that going to be like for you?
On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black will be talking about our existential crisis in America. The word "existential" combines the two words "existence" and "essence” ("exist-ential"), and this etymology tells us what an "existential question" is: a question concerning the essence of what it means to be alive! What is the meaning of your life? Why do you get up each day, do what you do and go to bed, get up the next day and do it again, and again, and again. One of the most important existential questions is, “Who am I?”. When you know WHO you are, then what to do is not as complicated. Today Mr. Black is going to talk about 2 gentlemen who had an existential moment, where they had to decide WHO THEY WERE and HOW they would be remembered. Pastor Martin Niemoller and Alfred Nobel both had lives that started down one path, and had a course correction at some point in their lives. It is these life-changing moments where we either reach for a beer, or we reach for meaning and significance. Today, Mr. Black will ask you to choose.

Are you hopeful? No matter what is going on in your world, today, do you believe tomorrow can be better? Do you LOOK FORWARD, or are you feeling guilty about past choices, and past mistakes? Do you feel that you can never change? Do you believe that if you just had some help your life could be much better, more productive, and more profitable? Are you open to some HOPE? What we all need at this time of year is HOPE. Our gift to you is that you finish today's podcast with more HOPE, that you can leave FULL OF IT- HOPEFUL!
Today on Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black is bringing an extra serving of HOPE! Hope is what we all need. Hope that no matter how bad the past is/was, today can be better. Hope that no matter what happened today, tomorrow can be better. The Holidays are about hope and being hopeful: Full of Hope! One way to bring hope is to let people know they are not alone, to help them understand that they have a TEAM to help them be, and accomplish- more! Many people feel alone that they don’t fit in and this belief system creates many other beliefs that are not beneficial to us, nor motivate us to be better, or do better. Depression around the Holidays is a huge problem, depression after the holidays is a huge problem. The solution is HOPE! Hope that they can have a better tomorrow than today. Hope that next year, can be better than this year. When people understand and feel the presence of support personnel, then they know, 'they can do this'! Tune into an incredible conversation between Mr. Black and recent graduates of Leadership Awakening.

What is the motivation of your heart? Why do you do, what you do? Do you ever question, or even, challenge your motives? As Leaders, we are called to live an examined life. In our journey to be self-actualized, in other words, to maximize the potentials we were created with- we must regularly examine our Words, our Actions, our Thoughts, our Character, and our HEART! When was the last time you did a look back, and examined your motives for doing what you did? Are you driven by what is in it for you, or are you driven by, seeing a need, and meeting a need?
On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today’s story is about two potential heroes: The Coyote and the Camel. The story is titled, the deceitful coyote, but it could well be named, “Today’s ruling elite”. What makes someone a hero, is not who they are, it is what they do, or do not do. Leadership is NOT position, it is action. Our Actions speak louder than words. Words are nothing more than a few letters puts together, without the energy to back them up. What really matters is the heart. The underlying motives, the reason WHY, we do what we do. What takes someone from a potential ‘hero’, to a disappointing, ‘zero’? The answer is the motivations of the heart. The book of Wisdom tells us, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it”. The Hebrew translation of ‘guard’ means to keep above all keepings. So, above ALL you guard – your marriage, family, bank account, passwords, your car, or house – guard your heart with more vigilance than anything else. What we need in America, in our communities, in our workplaces and our in homes are leaders whose hearts are pure, and motives are to help others. Will you be one of those NEW LEADERS? Rule #1 about being a leader, “It’s not about you.” We need to get off of ourselves, and put the needs of others, before our personal needs and wants. At the end of this story consider, who is the hero and who is the zero? Also consider how the outcome could have been much different with 2 different hearts. Consider how this story would play out if you were the Coyote, or if you were the Camel?

Do your actions affect others? Are your choices impacting others? If you answered NO, to either of those questions, then you have probably caused much damage in your world, or the world of those who share your world. Do you understand for every reaction, there is an equal and opposite reaction? Newton’s third law of motion has proven the test of time since he first stated it in 1686. Our actions, our choices, have an effect on others. We are all part of the HUMAN SYSTEM.
Today on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black is going to talk about the interconnectivity of a system. The ‘Supply Chain’ is a system! A system is defined as a set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or interconnected network. As a human race our actions, choices and Decisions have a ripple effect on others. It was famous writer John Donne in his Mediation no. 17 who penned the prose, “No Man is an Island Entire of Itself.” In other words we were not made to be alone, we are part of a system called humanity. Our actions have an effect on others. Many of us live in our own world, thinking our Words, Actions, Thoughts, Character and Habits are solely ours and have a limited, or no-effect, on our world, on our system. All systems need to be regularly analyzed in order to define its goals or purposes and to discover operations and procedures for accomplishing them most efficiently. Today we want to take a peek behind the scenes and talk to the crisis within the Supply Chain. There is so much misinformation, today we will show how it is one system, dependent on many intertwined factors. Tune into Like It Matters Radio, for an hour of power as Mr. Black will be joined by a guest who is a graduate and a leader in the field of manufacturing to pull back the curtain and do a: Systems Analysis.

Do you wake up everyday driven to make everyone happy? Are your like a sailboat on the rough waters of public opinion? Being blown to and fro, by the shifting opinions and values of others in your world- many of whom you have little in common with? When was the last time you spent time posing the questions, then answering them? Who Am I? Why am I here? If today was my last day on this planet, did it matter, one bit, that I was given life? How many peoples lives are better for me having lived on this planet? If you do not know who you, and why you are here, then you will be blown around by the fickly opinions of people who do not have your best interest in mind. This is the pathway to a life of confusion and one that will lack fulfillment.
On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today’s story is about our friend Goha, his son, and his donkey. The message of the story is to know thyself. Logo therapy is the pursuit of meaning in our lives. Logo therapy is founded on the belief that human nature is motivated by the search for a life purpose. In the process of finding our purpose, we need to understand key “existential questions”. Existentialism a system of ideas made famous by Jean Paul Sartre in the 1940s in which the basic presupposition is, our world has no meaning, except the meaning which we give it, and that each person is alone and completely responsible for their own actions, by which they make their own character, and thus derive their meaning. Again, here is a repeat lesson in leadership; It’s all about choices! When we choose to decide who we are, and why we are here, then what to do is not dictated by opinion, it is dictated by purpose.

Why is there so much chaos in our country and in our communities? Why is there censorship and the squashing of people who think differently, in a Country established, and known for FREE SPEECH? Why does it seem like things that were normal a few years ago are now abnormal? Why are we willing to give up so much, and live in so much fear? How can there be 2 totally different National Belief Systems, and how can so many people believe so many things that are based in fear and not in science? Today you will find out the WHY, it is called, Mass Formation, and it is a form of Mass Hypnosis.
On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black is on a quest to answer the question, why? Division, Strife, Anger, and Victimhood, seem to have replaced Baseball, hot dogs, Apple Pie, and Chevrolet- as American icons. If we are going to be active in; LIVING LIFE LIKE IT MATTERS, then we need to remove confusion and bring to light, that which is done in the darkness. Today we will explain a term called, Mass Formation. Mass formation is a form of Mass Hypnosis. Mass formation creates this “hive” mindset, that responds to the psychological needs of the human creature. Truth or lies, Fact or Fiction- none of that matters. What matters is, can you manipulate a people into believing what you want them to believe? As you can tell by the mess we are in in this country, the answer is yes, and the impact is stunning. Mr. Black will help make sense of the madness and confusion with the help of Professor Mattias Desmet out of Belgium. Desmet identifies four conditions that must exist for this MASS MANIPULATION to take place: 1- Social Isolation. 2- Lack of meaning in life. 3- Free-floating anxiety. 4- Discontentedness. Today’s Podcast called, Mass Formation, will bring some clarity to your confusion and answer some of your questions.

Have you ever heard the saying, “Raise the Bar’? The ‘Bar’ is your potential, your expectations, your level of satisfaction and acceptance. Many people have been programmed to LOWER THE BAR, to not have expectations. There is a saying, “Expectations are the seeds of disappointment”. If you believe that quote then you have probably lowered your bar. Would you like to RAISE THE BAR? Would you like to raise your threshold of expectation for yourself and others? It is time to get ITCHING for more!
On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black will be talking about Learned Helplessness. Learned Helplessness is a state of mind that occurs after a person has experienced a stressful situation repeatedly. They come to believe that they are unable to control or change the situation, so they do not even make an effort- even when opportunities for change become available. They have been conditioned! We are conditioned creatures. HR 101 tells us, “Any behavior reinforced with a positive outcome will repeat itself”. Our trained animals know that, and so do powerful leaders. It was Henry Ford that gave us the famous quote, “If you think you can, or think you can’t, you are correct”. In other words, your level of commitment is directly proportional to your level of belief. If you think everything you do will fail, you will stop doing anything. If you think that nothing you do will matter, then you will do nothing, that matters. Life is all about choices! Enjoy today's Story Time titled, “Itching to Raise the Bar”!

What is Thanksgiving to you? Is it a day of the year? Is it the 4th Thursday of November, every year? Is it possible to be in 2 different places at a time? Can 2 opposing forces occupy the same space in one’s mind? Can you be Grateful and also be a victim, at the same time? On Thanksgiving do you eat a pound of turkey, or are you still keeping your pound of flesh? What if Thanksgiving was a mindset, a way of life, a choice made daily- instead of a day of the year where we stuff ourselves like a bird on a holiday in November?
On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black wants to help you celebrate your Holiday, not just gustatorily with the satiation of your appetite for things like: Turkey, pumpkin pie, Candied Sweet Potatoes, Mashed potatoes and gravy…. Today’s Podcast is about enjoying the mindset, the Spirit of Gratefulness which is; Giving thanks in most situations. The battlefield is in the mind. It doesn’t really matter what happens to us, as much as it matters, what happens IN US. We can’t control what happens to us, but we can control how we explain it to ourselves and how we store it in the mind. In the study of Transactional Analysis we realize that it is not what happens to us that makes us respond, but it is our narrative- our, self-talk, our internal explanation of what, why, and how what happened to us took place. If you want to be the best version of yourself, then you need to control the narrative. Leaders take control of the narrative! As we celebrate Thanksgiving on Thursday, let us continue on with the ‘SPIRIT OF GRATEFULNESS’ to our own benefit and the benefit of others. Enjoy today’s podcast and keep the Thanksgiving mindset beyond Thursday! Gobble, Gobble. Tune into our new Podcasts every Monday and Thursday, and build the pattern for; Living Life Like It Matters.

What do the following people have in common: Transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson, Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu, supermarket magnate Frank Outlaw, spiritual teacher Gautama Buddha, and the father of Margaret Thatcher? They are known to be motivators of people and sources of many powerful quotations. They also share a common understanding of the power of our Words, Actions, Thoughts, Character and Habits. Do you understand the agricultural relationship of these 5 things- How they grow into you? Character is defined by...
On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black will be talking about Character. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s famous speech, ‘I have a Dream’, references character. Dr. Kings dream was to live in a country, in a world, where character was the determinant of our progress and treatment. In a paraphrase, he had a dream that one day his 4 children would live in an America where they were judged by their choices, instead of their ‘non-choices’. Dr. King believed in a meritocracy; to be treated based on his repeated actions. Where does our character come from? It comes from our action. Where do our actions come from? They come from our thoughts. Where do our thoughts come from? They come from our Words. There is an interconnectivity between our Words, Actions Thoughts, Character and Habits. “Plant a thought and reap a word; plant a word and reap an action; plant an action and reap a habit; plant a habit and reap a character; plant a character and reap a destiny”. Its all about choices! Enjoy today’s Story Time, Character is defined by our choices! Tune into our new Podcasts every Monday and Thursday, and build the pattern for; Living Life Like It Matters.

Do you understand the environment that you live in? Are you aware that some things are not working well? Have you noticed the division, and the dissension in our country today? Does it seem like people are meaner, and less open to critical conversations? Have you seen the Wizard of Oz? When the powerful Oz, turned out to be a short, dumpy dude? Would you like to know how the Munchkin made people fear him and cower in fear over him? Demagogue: What IT is, and why IT matters
On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black takes a peek at our environment. No Today’s podcast is NOT green, and we are not ‘saving’ the Third Rock from the Sun. Today we are talking about the environment of our thoughts and the environment we live in, that we call, culture. Culture is a series of repeated norms, or acceptable behavior. In the study of Epigenetics we have learned that we are a community of roughly 300-trillion cells all driven by our environment. Our environment creates an ultimate cause-effect pattern. Culturally and socially, the accepted norms of society create the environment for many things to happen. As a leader we must be AWARE. Like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, we must pay attention to the person behind the green curtain. It is important to understand the programming and the narrative of society and our leaders, so that we are in control of our thoughts and choices. That is truly where our personal power lies.

Do you know what you believe? Everything we do, or do not do, is driven by a belief. When was the last time you did an inventory of what you believe? When was the last time you logically processed what you believe? When was the last time you challenged an old belief system? Can you logically defend why you believe what you believe, or are you just into believing what everybody else believes, because everybody else believes it? The Power and the Consequences of what we believe.
On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black sharing a story about the willingness to believe something solely because it benefits us, or to just get along with others. Societies, relationships, and lives are built on beliefs. Those believes bring about actions. Those actions are judged based on the culture of the setting we are in. I am defining culture as the repeated patterns and acceptable norms. As a leader, we must realize that the key to our lives, lies in our beliefs. Nobody responds to reality, we respond to our ‘Map of Reality’. In other words, people don’t respond to what others are doing, or what is happening around them. What people respond to is what they BELIEVE others are doing and what they BELIEVE is happening around them. Notice again, everything we do, or do not do, is driven by what we are willing to BELIEVE! We don’t need to all think alike, we don’t need to all believe the same things- but we should be able to give a reason for what we believe and why we believe it. Enjoy today’s Story Time with Mr. Black titled, “The Power and the Consequences of what we believe.” Tune into our new Podcasts every Monday and Thursday, and build the pattern for; Living Life Like It Matters.

How do you know if you're successful? How do you know if you're not? What makes a good week? What makes a bad week? At the end of our lives, we are going to judge ourselves and we will use a Standard. Standard is defined as; an idea or thing used as a measure, norm, or model in comparative evaluations. What will you do today? Every day is like a ticking clock. How did you spend your time, before your time in the box? When your eulogy is written, life actions are re-hashed…It's OK to be proud of things they say about how you spent your Dash. What is the Standard of your life?
On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black is asking the question, “What is the Standard of your life?” When we use terms like better\worse, good\bad, Right\Wrong… what we don’t realize is that these words are COMPARISON Words. In other words, we have a litmus test, something we are comparing things to- it is what can be called a STANDARD. How do you know something is a lie? The answer is simple, “We compare it to the truth”. In order to do that we must have a “standard” for truth. For someone to know that money is counterfeit, then they need to know what real money looks like, feels like, what and where are hidden codes, and watermarks. The only way to know money is counterfeit is to know all there is to know about all the intricacies of REAL MONEY. Today, Mr. Black will be joined by the Senior Pastor at Hope Works church in Fort Worth, Texas- Shane Gray. They will be discussing traits, science, and historicity about the Bible that many do not know. Pastor Gray and Mr. Black will have a spirited discussion about why they believe!

Have you ever been treated poorly, unjustly, unfairly, or just wrong? Have you ever justified a negative, bitter response or retort because of what the other person did? Do you want to be more successful and have more control over how you respond to situations in life? If your answer is yes, then you have found a great podcast, and you will be blessed!
On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black sharing a story about how RACISM and HATRED can affect others, and how no matter what others are doing, the way we respond matters. We are all in the people business. It doesn’t matter where your paycheck comes from, and what you do to earn money- eventually we will be judged by the impact we have on others. Once we realize our power, then others can no longer run our lives. It was Dr. Viktor Frankl, behind the walls of the death camp called Auschwitz who said, “Between the stimulus and the response, there is a space. In that space is our Power and our Freedom.” It is time to get back to the basics of influence, the basics of Leadership. We must focus on what we can control, even when we are being controlled by forces that are against us. It is NOT what happens TO US, that matters. What really matters is what happens IN US; between the stimulus and the response. Enjoy today’s Story Time with Mr. Black titled, “Leaders consider the questions: If not me, then who? If not now, then when?” Tune into our new Podcasts every Monday and Thursday, and build the pattern for; Living Life Like It Matters.

Why do you get up each day do what you do, go home at night and do it again? What is your purpose on this planet? Why were you created? When your life comes to an end, how do you know if you have been successful or not?

Do you know what to do to have a ‘Good Day’? Have you considered how much you miss in a day? How many people do you think you walk by daily without even a thought of what their struggle is, or if they have a need you can meet? Do you feel the need to GO on a mission trip, a working vacation or anytime of a servant\ministry type of excursion? Are you Aware of being unaware? Our Actions Matter. Am I living my life making an impact on others?
When Dr. MLK Jr recited his, “I have a Dream’ speech, he said one of his most quoted lines and how our actions matter. He said, “I have a dream that one day my 4 little children will live in a Nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character”. Dr. King said to judge us by our actions, our choices- the content of our character, not by our ‘NON-CHOICES’- the color of our skin. In the Spiritual realm we know that some of us ‘water, some of us plant, some of us prune…’; but all of us get to participate, if we are willing to participate. Are you living your life like it matters, by making your actions matter? Do you see helping others as a means to your successful life? It is time to consider the question, “Am I living my life, making an impact on others’ lives?? Today on Living Life Like It Matters, it’s ‘Story time with Mr. Black’.

Do you ever feel like you are in a rut? Do you ever think that this is your lot in life, that you cannot change? Have you ever been helpless and hopeless wondering if this is all? Have you bought into the Belief System that you “can’t teach an old dog, new tricks”? Have your resigned yourself to a life that is beneath your potential? If you thought you could change, and believed in a process to change, would you commit to the change? Are you more focused on the WHY NOT’s, instead of the WHY’s? Similar vs Different.

Have you ever felt alone? Have you ever wondered what this life is about? Have you ever considered how you would quantify the success of your life?

What Can You Learn From A Man Who Sold Hot Dogs? Fear Conditioning. It is posited that by the time a child is 6-years old a majority of their ‘Map of Reality’ is in place. In other words, we have beliefs running our lives today, that were in place from early childhood. When was the last time you did an inventory of what you believed? Are you a good steward of what you allow into your experience? Are you cognizant of what you are allowing to affect your beliefs by what you listen to, what you watch and who you hang out with? Have you been a good steward of your mind? Can you do better?
On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black wants to RE-MIND us that everything we do or do not do, is driven by a belief system. Our beliefs dictate our focus, our direction, our action, and our commitment. When we believe something we act, AS IF, it were true, and we move in the direction of making it a reality. Nobody responds to reality, what we respond to is our Map of Reality. In other words, we don’t respond to what is happening, we respond to what we BELIEVE is happening- and sometimes they can be two different things.

Do you live with Regret, Resentment, or Resistance? Do you struggle getting our of bed with a swing in your step, and hope in your heart? Are you moving forward while your focus is constantly in your rear-view mirror? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might need a "vision". Without a "vision" people perish. To figure out if you have a vision you only need to check your focus.
On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black wants to have us LOOK FORWARD. Vision is about seeing into the future. Vision is about connecting the dots, to see how things play out. In the Famous speech by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., I HAVE A DREAM- Dr. King’s dream, was a VISION. He was talking about an AMERICA where…” One day my 4 little children will live in a nation, where they are NOT judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.” Dr. King was ‘looking forward’ to an America where we could treat each other equally on choices that are not ours, and meritoriously on issues of choice. There is a good book that says, “Without a Vision, people perish”. It was Nietzsche that said, “He who has a WHY, can bear almost any HOW”. Having a vision, gives us a reason why. When we have a Vision, then we have a reason to overcome, to commit, to play big and to give our Heart, Body and Soul to whatever we do. Today’s Podcast is titled; Without a vision people perish.

How would you rate the final success in your life? What is your purpose? Why are you here? Whose life is better because you have lived? How do you judge your success in life? Is it by how much stuff you get, how much money you acquire or how many followers you get? Is your life capitol tied to the lives that you impact? Are you offering a handout, or a hand up?
On Todays Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black wants to have us consider the ultimate value of our life. What is the standard for your life’s final success? We must all have a definition of success, otherwise how will we know if we are on course, or we are off course? How will we measure our level of success, if we do not have a definition of what success is to us? If you pride yourself as a leader, then your success is tied to others success. If we are truly a Conduit, then our success must somewhere, and somehow, be tied to the number of people we bring with us. How many people will cross the threshold of success in their life, because of the impact of your life? When your eulogy is written and life’s actions rehashed, will you be proud of things they say, about how you spent your dash? Enjoy Today’s Storytime with Mr. Black titled, “Hand out, or Hand up?”.

This September 11th, we recognized the 20-year anniversary of a day that changed America forever. Not only did it change America, it changed Americans and it has been the genesis of much more change that occurred from the ‘Domino Effect’. Have you noticed how a lot has changed in America, over the last 20 years? Things we used to value, are no longer of value. What made our Country great? What price was paid for the freedoms we have? Will we always have our freedoms, or can they be lost? Has there ever been a democracy that lasted as long as America has? The hard work, sacrifice and commitment made by previous generations seems to be lost on our Country today. When we think back on our heritage, what should we remember? September 11th; Freedom’s Cost.
On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black wants to help us RE-MEMBER, to ‘put back together’, some of those who helped make our country great. Freedom is never free, is a nice saying- but what does it mean? We have a tendency to get complacent, apathetic, and lazy once we get used to something. The Tytler Cycle shows how all Democracy’s go through the same process. Consider, this pattern identified by Alexander Tytler, and how it shows up in many other areas, as well. Whether we are talking about a thing, a person, a relationship, or a gift- the old saying goes, “Familiarity breeds contempt”. With the commemoration of September 11th, and the radical change that has taken place in America over the last 20 years, and speeding up this last year- let us be mindful of those who have demonstrated the greatest love for Country and Man ever acknowledged. There is a ‘Good Book’ that says there is no greater love, than someone to lay down their life for a brother\sister. Enjoy Today’s Story time with Mr. Black titled, “September 11th; Freedom’s Cost”.

Do you sometimes feel that your emotions are out of control? Do you have a hard time controlling your emotions? Do you sometimes wish this would all end? Dying to Laugh.
On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black goes into the real American pandemic, poor Mental Health. A Majority of Depression falls into a category called situational depression. What causes situational depression is our intrapersonal communication, our SELF TALK. The way we talk to ourselves dictates how we feel about ourselves and the world we live in. Even before the plandemic, even before the forced shutdowns, even before the forced self-quarantine mentality that causes us to separate and become even lonelier, people were struggling with mental health issues- people were struggling. Those issues have now exponentially increased by adding fear of the future, the unknown of the Coronavirus and the added consequences of the government edicts to supposedly protect us! People were struggling with their mental health before the plandemic, now it is much worse. Join Mr. Black as he is joined by Leadership Awakening graduate and comedian Brad Bonar as they talk about depression and the medicinal effects of humor. Enjoy today’s Podcast titled, Dying to Laugh.

Leaders Needed.
On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black talks about equality and equity. There is a famous saying, accredited to many famous people, it says: “Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny.” We have forgotten that choices have consequences, as well as our Belief Systems. We seem to be in an existential crisis, not sure of who we are individually, or corporately as a nation. It was Dr. Martin Luther King’s vision, that someday, character would matter more than choices that were not ours to make. We must go back to the basics and understand who we are, why we are here, what to do, what is our purpose and 'whose' we are. I truly believe there is a starting point, it is not random, it is NOT, non-consequential. It all starts with knowing WHO you are and WHOSE you are. When you know those 2 things, then WHAT TO DO is not that complicated! Enjoy today’s story, titled, Leaders Needed.

Why do you get up each morning and do what you do? If you are to live a life of purpose, then you must know what is the purpose of your life. What do you want so bad, that you are willing to endure hardship and loss? What is it that you are striving for that will keep you ON COURSE, not matter what the obstacles? What is the IT of your life? When you live your life like IT matters, IT does!! What is your, IT?
On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black is going to go into Goal Getting and Purpose striving. At Like it Matters their motto is, “When you live your Life Like It Matters- It does”. In understanding goals and goal-getting there are elements required to make a goal a “Well-formed” outcome. This means when you structure a goal correctly, it allows for the accomplishment of that goal and the realization of its purposes. On Today’s podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black will go into the 6 Elements of a well-formed outcome as well as the basic understanding of Logo-Therapy. In essence Logo-Therapy is “a treatment that allows for us to find meaning in our actions, in our lives”. As we unpack these 2 pieces of living a life of Purpose, on purpose, we will start to hone in on our personal IT. What is the IT, of your life? What is the IT, that you will eventually judge your life as a success or failure by? Enjoy Today’s Podcast titled, What is, IT?

The New Testament writer Paul, the Apostle, famously said, “For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate". Why do you do what you do? Why do you NOT do what you want to do, but continue in habits that you don’t want to do? What do you believe about yourself and your situation? Where did those beliefs come from? What beliefs do you have that are working against you? What should those beliefs be now? We are programmed creatures, and in order to change our outcome, we must change our program! Well done soldier, but the war is over
On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black will share a historical story with a real-life lesson for each of us. Famous psychologist Alfred Adler posits that by the time a child is 6-years old a majority of their ‘Map of Reality” is in place. Our Map of Reality is the basic set of Belief Systems that guide us in our interpretation of this experience called life. In all reality they are programs that guide us, direct us, and let us know if we should be happy, sad, confused…. These program, these Belief Systems are the reason for everything. Everything we do, or do not do, is driven by a Belief System and most people are unaware of most of what they really believe and why they believe it. Today’s riveting story will help you make sense out of why we do what we do, and why it is time to do something different. Enjoy today’s Story, ‘Well Done Soldier, but the war is over!

Have you lost your first love? Have you experienced change in a relationship that you were unaware of, at the time? Have you ever wanted to change a relationship, a habit or yourself? Have you thought you can never change? Do you think you do not need to change? Change is one of those things that works when we don’t want it to work, and sometimes won’t happen when we need it and want it the most. Boiling Frogs or Camel's Nose.
On today’s Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black is going to talk about change. Change is one of the Constants of life. This too shall change, is a statement that can be said over most things. In our lives we can consciously change, and we can also change without realizing we have changed. Tiny unconscious little changes over time create massive changes. Then we ask ourselves the question: What happened to -----? There are other times that we have a traumatic, big experience that forever causes change. They are both ways to change but one seems to be more conscious than the other. Mr. Black will be joined by a recent graduate of Leadership Awakening and will share the ‘8 Changes everyone should consider making’. Enjoy today’s Podcast titled, Boiling Frogs or Camel’s Nose.

How do you know if you had a good day, a good week, or a good year? What needs to take place for you to consider any of these good? What would make your life a disappointment? If you did not accomplish, A, then your life would be considered a ‘missed opportunity’? We must know who we are, in order to know what to do. When we view our life from a different perspective, we bring greater value to our life, and the lives we get to touch. Who you are makes a difference.
On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black will be sharing a story he calls “Who you are makes a difference”. We are all given the same amount of time in a day, in a week, in a month and in a year. We might not be able to control the length of our “Dash of our life”, but we can control the width, the intensity. In other words, we might not be able to control how many years we spend on this planet, but we do get to control what we do with our time. There is a GOOD BOOK out there that talks about things that are temporal and things that are eternal. Some things are here for a while, and some things last forever. One of the things that can last forever is what we do with our time on this planet. Are you accumulating things, a following and your own fame and fortune? Or are you accumulating lives that you have touched? Today’s story time will end with a poem comparing Alexander the Great and Jesus of Nazareth to bring home the point that it is in the lives we touch, that give our lives the truest value.

Do you know why you are here? Do you know why you wake up every morning and do what you do? If you don’t have a reason WHY, then what to do is more complicated. Do you know what your purpose is on this planet? When your life is wrapping up, how will you know if you accomplished what you wanted to accomplish? Do you have success defined for you? If not, how will you know if you are ON COURSE, or OFF COURSE? Diagnosis: Existential Crisis.
On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black offers a diagnosis to America's problems, and the confusion in our heads and hearts. Dr. Viktor Frankl came up with the concept of Logo Therapy, sitting in a cell in Auschwitz. Man's will to meaning, creates a 'Search for Meaning'. When we don't know Who we are, then, 'what to do' becomes confusing. As individuals we are confused, as citizens of the world we are confused, as spouses, as parents, as children of God- we seem to be confused. Confusion is our enemies #1 weapon formed against us. When we are confused, procrastination reigns supreme. However when we are CLEAR on our Mission, on our Purpose, on our reason WHY, then we can RISE UP and be all we were created to be!

Are you at cross-purposes with yourself - going through the motions, but not really committed to the goal, saying one thing but meaning another? How distorted is your thinking? Do you ever make comments like "nothing ever goes right for me"; "everything I touch fails"; "I always mess up"? Have you taken Behaviors and attached them to your Identity? If you answered yes even to just one of these, your thought life needs detoxing right now. Scoop of poop.
On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black will share a personal story about the power of the mind. Research shows that around 87% of illnesses can be attributed to our thought life, and approximately 13% to diet, genetics, and environment. We live in a world that is living in their head. A world in deep thought, meeting and discussing and thinking… but consider what is thinking? Thinking is talking to yourself, it is self-talk. Large parts of depression can be traced back to the way we talk to ourselves. Our thoughts, self-talk, is driven by our beliefs and wrapped up in our emotions. It is a simple pattern and identifiable if you have eyes to see and ears to hear. Today’s story is from Mr. Black’s 30 years of transforming hearts and minds in Leadership Awakening, at LikeItMatters.net. Enjoy today’s Story, Scoop of Poop.

Do you know why you get up each day, do what you do, go home at night, and get up the next day to do it again, and again, and again? Do you know who you are? What you are called to do, and the quality in which you do it? The power of a Mission statement to move you in the right direction day after day, is priceless. It is decision time; Will you be part of a flock, like a duck? Or will you be unique and soar like an Eagle, above the flock? Duck or Eagle, decide!
On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black shares a story he calls “Duck or an Eagle, decide!” Eagles are like Leaders, they don’t flock. Ducks are usually in groups, a flock, like sheep. You were meant to soar, there is none Like you. Your mission is who you are, it is what you do, and it is the quality in which you do it. Once you figure that out, then press the GO BUTTON and SOAR with your strengths! The Eagle metaphor has been used across cultures as a symbol of strength, freedom, independence, and self-actualization. Consider this saying from a Native American writing, “Eagle is reminding you to take heart and gather your courage, for the universe is presenting you with an opportunity to soar above the mundane levels of your life . . . Eagle teaches you to broaden your sense of self, beyond the horizon of what is presently visible.” Tune into our new Podcasts every Monday and Thursday, and build the pattern for; Living Life Like It Matters.

When was the last time you checked into your self-talk, your thinking? Everything we do, or do not do is driven by a Belief System. Those belief systems are established, and reinforced by our self-talk, those things we say to ourselves, over and over and over. Do you tune into your self-talk, to listen to the conversation? If other people talked to you, like you talk to yourself, would you tolerate it? Can the statement, “I’ve me the enemy, and he\she is living in my shorts”, apply to you? Demons in the Mind-field with Team 225.
On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters Mr. Black talks about the battlefield of the mind. We have 30-60,000 thoughts per day. Those thoughts either lift us up, or tear us down. They make us bitter or better. Dr. Viktor Frankl, the Father of Logo Therapy quotes this battle succinctly; “Between the stimulus and the response, there is a space. In that space is our power and our freedom”. We have seen this TRUTH in the news lately. Olympian Simone Biles just showed the world, no matter how gifted, talented, trained up, revved up, we are- the battle is in the mind! Mr. Black will be joined by recent graduates of Leadership Awakening, Team 225 who were victorious in winning the Cognitive battle.

Leadership is about permission and if we desire change, then we must start with ourselves and be the change that we want to see in the world. You could give others permission to change, by your willingness to start with yourself. Today be encouraged about being a better YOU today, than yesterday- a better YOU tomorrow, than today.

Do you wonder what your potential is? Do you wonder if you were created for more? Do you want to know how unique your are, how special you are? Would you like to know why you do, what you do? The answer to all those questions are in your fingerprints. Understanding Innate Intellect; It is in the Fingerprints.
On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black goes in depth on Understanding. Mr. Black has been doing a series on Understanding, what is lacking in today's world is Understanding. During the series Mr. Black has been covering the field of psychometrics. It is a compound word, that means, 'Mental Measurement'.

What motivates someone, or shuts them down? What are their fears, people skills and people abilities...how do they handle themselves under pressure, can they work alone...? In closing this series Mr. Black will discuss the Innate Intellect Profile. This unique profile is the most fascinating psychometric that Mr. Black has ever experienced. It is the only psychometric designed based on how we are made, not based on how we answer questions. Today's show will include discussion on Multiple Intelligences, Dermatoglyphics and psychometrics. Our fingerprints are unique to us, they are a way to identify us, but they are also a way to identify traits, characteristics and features that make us unique.

On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black will be talking about Forgiveness. In the study of communication and the Human experience, it is clear that we have much more power and freedom with how we feel, than we want to admit or muster. Dr. Viktor Frankl, in his best-selling book, “Man’s Search for Meaning” says, ‘Between the Stimulus and the Response there is a space, and in that space is your power and your freedom”. We have the freedom to choose what we reflect on, hold on to, and think about. We have the Power to allow others words to have little effect on us, or greatly affect us. Many of us have good examples around us of people who have some peace and creatures who seem to never let anything get them down. We can learn from all types of things, and people and experiences.

On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters Mr. Black is going into a rare commodity in America- Understanding. In today's conflict filled America, conflict filled World- there's little connection and few who seek, or give- Understanding. I believe in the statement: if I can understand you a little better, and you can understand me a little better- then, we are in a position to have a better relationship. In order to truly understand another individual we must get our focus off of our wants, our needs and our outcomes and ‘walk a mile’ in someone else’s’ shoes. When we step into another person’s reality, we are in a position to move them into a better place- only after we have understanding and have established Rapport. There are assessment tools that help us to understand the personality styles of others. Psychometrics are assessment tools that allow people to understand themselves, and others better. Today Mr. Black will delve into one of the oldest, most well-known of the assessments, and delve into The DISC methodology.

Have you ever been so wrapped up in your task of the moment that you missed the specialness of that moment? Do you define success as the impact you make on others’ lives? Take the time, to make IT matter!
On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black will share a story that is the reality in many people lives. As Leaders we must value people. We are in the People business, no matter, where our paycheck comes from. We must control our focus, and pay attention to what matters most, on a regular basis. Too many people miss the most important things in life, People, moments, and special moments with people. Robin Williams is quoted as saying. “Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.” Rule #1 about being a leader is It’s NOT about you. It is about those you get to impact in a positive, powerful, permanent way. One smile to a stranger can change their life. One compliment can improve someone’s day. One Taxi ride can bring closure to a long life. Enjoy today’s Story, Take the time, to make it matter!

What is the big deal with Pornography? What do all these names have in common: Jeffery Toobin, Hunter Biden, Anthony Weiner, and Josh Duggar? Pornography, like drug use, has gone mainstream.

On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black is going to deal with an important issue facing America and the World- Addiction. Addiction is defined as a state of being compulsively committed to a habit, or practice, or to something that is psychologically or physically habit forming. A habit is something we start doing consciously, and then we continue doing, unconsciously. This happens to such an extent that it is hard to stop, and/or that cessation results in severe trauma. In the new Progressive America, addictions are on the rise and coping mechanisms like Emotional Intelligence, and walking with God is on the decline. Addictions to alcohol, cigarettes, prescription drugs, Marijuana are all on the rise and causing much harm. Today, however, Mr. Black will focus on one of the most impactful addictions to our relationships. With all the racial violence, sexual violence, separation, as well as sexual and racial animosity, we need to take a look at one of the drivers of our fractured society. Today Mr. Black will hone his focus on pornography addiction with special guest Rusty Nokes of 'Purity is the New Sexy'. Tune into Living Life Like It Matters to put this struggle into perspective.

Have you wanted to make sense of the struggles that you have been through and why you have had to go through them? Up until now. have you allowed the struggles of life to make you bitter vs better?Finding our Value through the fiery furnace of life.
On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black shares one of his favorite stories, the TEACUP Story. Life is an undulating line with peaks and valleys, with highs and lows, with lessons and lesions. Many have a tendency to go through life and allow things to attach to their experience that make them ‘less than’ their potential. Sometimes we need the ‘Fiery Furnace’ the Smelters Furnace to remove some of those things, experiences, memories, and beliefs from our experience. Many are going through this life too heavy, carrying too many burdens and beliefs from the past, that limit their experience of the moment, and diminish their potential of the future. You are more than an overcomer! Enjoy today’s Story time with Mr. Black, 'Finding our Value through the fiery furnace of life'.

Is FEAR the co-pilot of your life? Is fear the number one emotion that you experience on a regular basis? Do you want more out of life, and desire to put fear in its’ place? Are you tired of FEAR getting more glory than your dreams and your ambitions? Will you see bars or stars?
On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black talks about the self-imposed prison that many live in. In the study of Transactional Analysis we realize we have control over our experience. Between the stimulus and the response there is a space and in that space is our Power and our Freedom! There is a saying, "Two men sit behind bars. One sees mud, the other sees stars". We are at choice, but if we do not know that, then there seems to be NO CHOICE. No choice creates a helpless and a hopeless mindset, as depression and anxiety set in and then we move from being VICTIMIZED, to becoming a VICTIM. In my 3 decades of counseling I have learned that nobody responds to reality, we respond to our Map of Reality. In this process we give birth to FEAR and then it grows into something so big and sinister, that it becomes the 'Godzilla', in our metaphorical Tokyo! Today’s podcast is the beginning salvo of a war in the mind, that you are equipped to win! Today’s Podcast is titled; Will you see bars or stars?.

Are you afraid of sharing your beliefs because you do not want to push them on to others? Are you worried that you might be wrong, so you do not share constructive criticism? Are you more preoccupied with being liked, than being transformational? Today’s Storytime with Mr. Black will give you an understanding of the proper way to share proper information! Did I move you to tears, or to heaven?
On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black shares a story about the power of feedback. As a leader we are in the people business. In essence leadership is about building people, mentoring people and being a conduit to people. It does not need to be lonely at the top. If you bring enough people with you, then not only do you succeed, but your legacy is one of building people. Today’s story is about our influence as a Leader, and the ability we have to alter people’s destiny. In order to do that effectively, we must be able to speak life into people and affect their actions and their direction. Today Mr. Black will cover the 3 criteria for knowing if the constructive feedback you give is building up, or tearing down. Is it True, was it shared properly and was your intent, pure?

Have you ever wondered why you do the things you do? Have you ever wondered why you struggle doing some of the things you desire to do? Have you ever wanted to know what drives you to do what you do? Great leaders are not only able to motivate others to change, but they also understand themselves and what motivates them within their own personal choices. Behavior Modification.
On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters Mr. Black will go into some of the Characteristics of Effective Leadership. One of the key traits of a Leader is the ability to Motivate people, the ability to move them in the proper way and direction. Motivation is not just about getting people excited, or inspired, it is also about modifying their behavior to develop them into a better human being, better leader, better team member…today, then they were yesterday. A better person tomorrow, than they are today. HR 101 states that any behavior reinforced with a positive outcome will repeat itself. In order to change our lives we must change our heart, mind, and behavior. Mr. Black will help you tap into the power source of the unconscious brain, to help you understand how our brains are wired to create habits, and what the major motivating factors are. Mr. Black will go into N.A.C (Neuro Associated Conditioning) and help you understand how we are motivated by our feelings. Mr. Black will also reference the book, "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg and help us understand what advertisers know, and how the history of toothpaste explains why you cannot lose weight or overcome other issues.

Are you stuck in a rut? Are you having a hard time lifting up your eyes to the future with Hope? Have you been stuck on a low hanging branch, needing some incentive to let go and fly? The Time is Now to believe and act, ‘AS IF’. Look up, and SOAR!
On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black will talk about the ‘Comfort Zone’. Our comfort zone is where things go to die. We have a tendency to limit our potential by not pushing the limits of our comfort zone. People have a tendency to choose the enemy they know versus, the enemy the DO NOT know. Fear resides outside of our Comfort Zone, and we have a tendency to settle, to become ‘Victims of our circumstances’ instead of ‘Victors of our Actions’. Successful people know that we cannot control what happens TO US, but we can control what happens IN US! The Time is Now to LOOK UP and SOAR and become more today, then you were yesterday. More tomorrow, than today! Enjoy today’s Story time; Look up, and SOAR! Tune into our new Podcasts every Monday and Thursday, and build the pattern for; Living Life Like It Matters.

Who is responsible for what goes on in your head and your heart? Who is the one responsible for how you feel? Today you will be inspired to believe, and understand, that the Battle is in the mind, and we are in control of what we allow in our minds, keep in our minds, and how our mind frames and codifies our experiences. Mental Stewardship.
On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters Mr. Black will go into the importance of being a steward at the gate of our mind. In a way, we are each like a BORDER PATROL AGENT. We stand at the precipice of what gets into our minds, what stays in our minds and how we explain to ourselves what happened to us, and why it happened. Technically it does not matter what happens TO US, it matters what happens IN US.

Have you ever been betrayed by an emotional outburst? Have you ever regretted the way you acted in a heated moment and wished you would have been better? Great leaders learn how to manage their emotions, and use them as a source of power, instead of regret! The Power of Emotional Intelligence.
On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black will share with you a story called, “Genghis Khan and his falcon”. We seem to be at a place in history where emotions are getting the most of people. We seem to have lost our ability to critically think, and instead we are being emotionally manipulated. If someone can get us agitated, or create an emotional cacophony we lose our ability to reason, we do not represent ourselves, or our cause in a positive light. Emotional Intelligence is a cornerstone of an outstanding leader. The ability to use the right emotion, at the right time, toward the right person, in the right way, for the right reason- is priceless and rare. Today's Story will help listeners understand that even when a friend does something you do not like, he\she continues to be your friend.

On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters Mr. Black will go into the power of Vision. Leaders have a vision, and they communicate it to others. A vision allows for people to not only connect the dots as they look into the future, it also allows the leader to facilitate the process of ‘beginning with the end in mind’.

Have you ever felt that you were tied to something in your past? The Power to Move with Proper Feedback!
On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black will share 2 short stories. In the first story we are taught by Socrates. He has a test of 3, that allows us to know if the information we are sharing is proper to share and beneficial to share. Knowing how to give feedback and what feedback to give is instrumental in making any leader a better leader. In our second story Mr. Black has us consider the power of the mind. To think is to create. The story about a man and his three donkeys, will remind us of the power of our Belief Systems. Many of us have been tied to the future, by knots and ropes secured in our past. Once we understand the power of our Belief Systems, we can move forward in a more compelling and successful manner. Everything we do, or do not do, is driven by our beliefs.

How often have we heard people say that they want to improve their lives? That they want to have a memorable, impactful life. We can and will learn valuable lessons from Memorial Day.
Mr. Black wants us to consider who is worthy to be memorialized. We should always acknowledge those who lived well and died well defending the rights that we used to value and cherish in our country. For 200 years America has been known for our freedoms. A free and fair press, freedom of speech, freedom from political prosecution and persecution, free and fair elections, a one tier justice system where the ruling elite have the same standards as the average person.... These core freedoms are what makes America-America. In order to secure our future, we need to make sure the people we are memorializing are people whose Life and Death give us an example of service, sacrifice and excellence. Today let us think about those Soldiers, and those LEO’s who lived and died in the service of others! Tune into Like It Matters Radio for an hour of power as Mr. Black reminds us of who is worthy to be celebrated and Memorialized.

On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today we celebrate Memorial Day. Memorial Day is a day we commemorate those who gave it all. Freedom is NOT free. For over 200 years brave men and women have given their lives so that American can have the freedoms that make us America. Today we seem to take our freedoms for granted as we see them dwindling away in the Progressive, Anti-American sentiment that seems to be taking over politics in our country. And in today's new America we seem to have forgotten our local heroes, those warriors who keep our communities safe and protect our individual rights of where we live. The right to freedom of property, freedom of safety and freedom to gather and voice our political opinions. The soldiers on those front lines are Law Enforcement Officers (LEO). LEO’s have a thankless job in today's new America and are themselves targeted and under attack. Most people could not do the job of these brave men and women in blue. Today let us honor our Men and Women who put on the uniform. Blue Lives Matter! Enjoy today's story time called, God made LEO’s!

On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black discusses what moves us as individuals! It is said that a quality of a good leader is the ability to move people in a productive way. The word that is used is MOTIVATE. If you fancy yourself as a Leader, then you are in the people business, no matter your field of compensation. We must know people, how people work, what motivates people, and what demotivates people, or shuts us down. I continually say\question, “If I can understand you a bit better, and you can understand me a bit better- doesn’t it make sense we are in a position to have a better relationship”? The secret to motivation is knowing what people want. When you know what people want, we can motivate them by helping them get what they want. Part of the understanding of motivating people comes with the realization that we all wear a hat with the initials: WIIFM- What's In It For Me? Today’s Podcast is titled, Incentive.

On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters is going to discuss what we value. When something is expensive we seem to value it more. Expensive means to have a high price or a high cost. Valuable means to have great value. They sound similar- to some synonymous, however there is a great difference between the two. As a self-actualized person, we must know what we VALUE and what we treasure above all else, because that becomes EXPENSIVE, especially if we lose it!

On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black shares a story that has its roots in love. The message of this story is that when we are prosperous, we underrate Love. When we feel important, we do not appreciate love. And even in happiness and sorrow we overlook love. Only with time we realize the true value of love. Why wait and not cherish Love every day of your life? Of the hodgepodge of emotions out there, and in here- we seem to seek and lose love the easiest. Emotional Intelligence is the ability to use ALL EMOTIONS in an appropriate way. Using the right emotion, at the right time, directed toward the right person and in the right way- this is not easy, however, it is transformational. We live in a world where people are looking for love, and they are looking for it in the wrong places, in the wrong way. One of the reasons for this elusiveness is because we do not know what love is and thus how to find it. Today's inspirational story will help remind us that Love is a VERB, it is not a feeling. For someone so loved, that they did something about it. Enjoy today’s story, titled, Love is a Verb.

Chief Anderson brings a wealth of experience and knowledge in community policing, as well as the complications of LEO’s in today’s quickly changing environment. One of the initiatives that Chief Anderson spearheaded was “COP House”, a unique way to allow the inner-city communities to build rapport with Law Enforcement and to change some of the newly formed stereotypes. Law Enforcement Officers (LEO's) are in a quandary, in America’s new racially charged environment.

On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black will be sharing 2 poems. The first poem is by Justin Farley and the second by Maya Angelou. Both poems deal with Persistence. In the ‘Stone cutter’ credo by Jacob Riis it is persistence that shines through; “Look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before”. We need persistence in the battle to become who we are. We must focus on those things we can control and concern us, if we are to achieve any greatness in life. The Proverbs tell us that a Righteous person will fall 7 times and get back up. But the wicked will stumble into ruin. When we realize we cannot control what happens to us, but we can control what happens to us- a freedom overtakes us that makes others want to be like us!

On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black goes into the reality of change and the need of hope. Barack Obama ran on HOPE and CHANGE. It was a nice political slogan, because we want HOPE, and we need CHANGE. Change is a process, for it to be lasting, it must follow the rules of the unconscious brain- since it runs 'the ship'. We only use 3-5% of our brain consciously. So If you want to make a change, and make it stick- you must do it by the pattern of the unconscious brain! Hope is always a future event. Our past is a reminder, a storied history that can sometimes get us into regret, resentment, and resistance.

Life can be busy, hectic, and confusing. We must be able to differentiate between what is urgent and what is important. Times is a fixed commodity, we only have so much time and it can never be replaced. We need to make sure we are making the most of our time and that means knowing the existential questions of live: Who am I, why am I here, whose am I, and why do I get up each day, do what I do, go home at night, go to bed, and get up the next day…over and over again?

It was comedian Robin Williams who declared, “Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.” We must remember the POWER OF ONE! One smile to a stranger can change their life. One compliment can improve someone’s day. One real inquiry into how someone is doing- could give them hope that someone cares! People need people, and they need people who will encourage them instead of destroy them! ONE thing I have noticed in life- it is sometimes the saddest people, who work the hardest to make people happy, to make them laugh- it is contagious.

Today's Storytime with Mr. Black is a double gift. Mr. Black shares one of his favorite quotes by Valerie Cox, 'The Cookie Thief', and a piece by Charles Fulgrum from, 'Everything I needed to learn I learned in Kindergarten. We can see in the world much chaos and strife. Hurting people, hurting people. We have the tendency to judge ourselves by our intent and judge others by our perception of their intent. If we would give people the same mercy, grace and understanding that we want from others many of life's miscommunications would never happen. We also need to figure out what to do with our past. Too many people are living in the trauma and drama of their past, getting stuck in the 3 R's of Survival; Regret, Resistance, and Resentment. There are many things that we were taught as children that we need to remember as adults so we can play nice again. We must learn to learn from the past, but not live in it. Dream of a future, but we live in the NOW! Yesterday was history, tomorrow is a mystery. Today is the present, so we must treat it like the gift that it is.

There are approximately two thousand classified fears. Those documented fears run
the gamut—everything from triskaidekaphobia (the fear of the number 13) to
arachibutyrophobia (the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth). There
is even a phobophobia- the fear of acquiring a phobia. What is interesting is that
psychiatrists posit that we are born with only two innate fears: the fear of falling and the
fear of loud noises. That means that every other fear is learned. More importantly, this
means that every other fear can be UNLEARNED. Mr. Black with go into the power of
fear, and the impotence of fear, based on one thing. He will also be referencing Dr.
Susan Jeffers book, “Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway”. When the show is over you will
be able to realize that FEAR is nothing more than a strawman-the only power it has, is the power you give it.

The great struggling comedian Robin Williams famously said, “Everyone you meet is
fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.” Today on Storytime with Mr.
Black we will hear a story about the impact of one person. We can sometimes get so
wrapped up in our own world, that we forget that others have their own struggles. “If I
can understand you a little bit better, and you can understand me a little bit better, then
it makes sense that we are in a position to have a better relationship. One smile to a
stranger can change their life. One compliment can improve someone’s day. Never
forget the importance of spreading joy and kindness to the world. What we need in
America is not stimulus, not a Dem or a Rep president or Congress- what we need is
Mercy, Grace, and most of all UNDERSTANDING. Think about that as you listen to the Sandpiper story.
