Zero Trust IRL
In this episode, I dive into the essence of trust, sparked by an unexpected encounter at the Austin marathon. My conversation with Clayton, initiated by our matching green hats, not only rekindled my passion for podcasting but also set the stage for a deeper exploration of trust in today’s world. From the scarcity of genuine connections to the importance of building solid, trustworthy relationships, I share insights and a "trust checklist" to navigate personal and professional alliances. It’s about choosing who stands beside us, not just across from us.
