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.

Inspiration. Education. Application.

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