Like It Matters Radio with Scott V. Black

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.  T...

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 ca...

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 wh...

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...

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 t...

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...

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 wit...

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?  B...

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 w...

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...

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 produ...

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...

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 wan...

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...

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 fl...

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 pr...

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 informa...

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 pande...

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? D...

Distance reflection is a powerful way to create the seeds of change with...

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 f...
