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.

Inspiration. Education. Application. 

When you live your life like it matters… it does.

Choices That Define Our Life

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.

Inspiration. Education. Application.

When you live your life like it matters… it does.

250 Years - Freedom to BE

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.

Its Okay to Slow Things Down

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.
