After his daughter Kira's birth faced medical challenges and he couldn't find reliable information online, Jimmy launched Wikipedia in January 2001. In this conversation, Jimmy shares why extending trust before it's earned creates better outcomes, how to deal with bad actors, and the seven rules for building things that last. Notes: Key Learnings (in Jimmy's words) Wikipedia launched 20 days after my daughter was born. When Kira was born, I realized that when you go on the internet, and you've got a question like, "what is this condition my daughter has?"  It just wasn't there. There were either random blogs or academic journal articles that were way above my head. Kira was born on December 26th, and I opened Wikipedia on January 15th.  Nupedia failed because of the seven-stage review process. Before Wikipedia, we worked on Nupedia. We recruited academics to write articles. You had to send in your CV showing you were qualified before you could write anything. We had very slow progress. I was on the verge of giving up. This top-down approach with a seven-stage review process before you publish anything that's no fun, and nobody's doing it. We let anyone edit and figured we'd add structure later. We thought we'd have to figure out who the editor-in-chief of the chemistry section is. You're gonna have to have some kind of authority and hierarchy. But I thought, let's just not have too much structure for as long as possible.  "It's fun. You could be the first person to create a page." There was a point in time when you could write, "Paris is the capital of France". That's amazing. It's not much of an encyclopedia article, but it was fun. It's like, oh, we can just start documenting whatever we know. People started just doing all kinds of stuff. The magic is when you come back and see others improving your work. You could just write a few facts down and hit save, and it's not very good yet. But you'd go back a few days later and see somebody dug in, and they added more information. That element has always been really important. Is it fun? Do you enjoy the activity? Do you meet interesting people? You spend one afternoon, you add a few facts, and then you think, you know what? The world's just ever so slightly better. Trust is conditional, not naive. Out of every thousand people, probably a small handful are gonna be really annoying. But it's really rare to have somebody who's actually malicious. The idea of assuming good faith, as we call it in Wikipedia, is extending trust first before it's been earned. It's conditional. You extend that friendly hand of trust. And if the person proves themselves to be super problematic, then you have to deal with it. To get trust, give trust.  Most people are decent. It also creates an environment where trustworthy behavior is rewarded. As a boss, wouldn't it be fantastic if you said, I'm going to go off and do this other thing, but I just trust my people are so good, they're gonna crack on with the work? Sometimes they'll make a call I would've made differently. That's okay. They're smart. Sometimes they're going to get it better than I did. "You haven't earned my trust." When somebody looks you dead in the eye and says, "You haven't earned my trust," that's destruction. It's the opposite of building a culture where people can thrive.  Extending trust works in parenting, too. When teenagers say, "Well, it doesn't matter what I do, they're going to think the worst anyway, so I might as well do the bad thing." That's really unfortunate. As opposed to saying to your teenager, "Yeah, you want to go out and stay a little later than before. I want you to do that. I trust you, but you gotta do it the right way." You give that trust and believe me, they come home right on time because this is my chance to actually nail this. Give your children an opportunity to live up to building trust.  When trust is broken, you can rebuild it faster than you think. Frances Fry is a Harvard professor who had a huge job at Uber when they had an enormous crisis of trust. People say once you've broken trust, that's it, you can never get it back. But is it really true? No, it's actually not true. She thinks companies can rebuild trust faster than you think. A teenager who's broken a rule can rebuild trust pretty quickly. And our job is to let them rebuild that trust.  The eighth rule is walk the walk. The rules of trust aren't just a lot of good words. You actually have to walk the walk. If you say "I screwed up" and you own that, but then you go back to being the same as you were before, you're not going to rebuild trust. But if you walk the walk, people will see that.  Airbnb rebuilt trust by walking the walk. Really early in Airbnb's history, someone rented out their apartment and came home and it was absolutely trashed. Airbnb handled it very badly. They were stonewalling. In this era, that's often the wrong advice. Not saying anything just means it goes viral. So they ripped off the band-aid. They said, Look, we screwed this up. They started requiring ID's for people renting apartments out, ID's from customers, and substantial insurance for owners. They walked the walk. Transparency doesn't mean sharing everything; it means sharing the process. If people can see your workings, they can see what you're doing and how it works, it gives them assurance in the process. It's about judgment calls. What would be helpful for us to share so people can trust the whole process?  If you think people are fundamentally rotten, you can't work with them. It's very easy when we look at the state of the world to be downtrodden, cynical, and don't trust anybody. If you think people on the other side of you politically or people at your workplace are fundamentally just rotten people, then you're going to have a hard time listening to them. You're going to have a hard time understanding where they're coming from. You're not going to do the right things that make sense to people. Which hurts all of society.  When you've been beaten up by life, change the channel. If you work somewhere where your boss doesn't trust you and your coworkers are all backstabbing freaks, it's time to change the channel. Every night, you should be trying to find a better position. Your number one criteria in looking for that next position is finding somebody who you think is a proper person to be your manager. Think of it as you're interviewing the company just as much as they're interviewing you. When you give trust, you attract trustworthy people. When you become known as a person who gives trust before it's earned, you magically attract trustworthy people. It's kind of cool how it works. Will you get burned every once in a while? Maybe. But you attract the type of people that you wanna be around. Curiosity is the ultimate love language. Get out there in the world and be curious. Asking people questions and being genuinely curious about their stories and learning about them and asking follow-up questions is a great way to show love and to connect with people. When you find yourself in a curiosity conversation where everyone's asking and learning, and they're head nodding and into it, there's nothing better. That's human nature connecting. We are born to connect and collaborate with others. It's quite easy and natural for people to fit into whatever culture is around them. We naturally like to work together to build something good. We're social, and we like to be social. We collaborate to build experiences together. A party with only yourself is not a party. Do what you love, even if it takes time to get there. One of the things that I think is really important is do what you love, do something that you really care about. Oftentimes for young people, there's this struggle between here's the thing that I really want to be doing, and here's the thing that's going to make me some money. Work really hard to find a way to put those together.  Reflection Questions Jimmy says extending trust before it's earned creates better outcomes, but it requires not being naive when someone proves untrustworthy. Think of a situation where you're withholding trust. Is it because of actual evidence that this person is untrustworthy, or are you bringing baggage from past experiences with different people? What would it look like to extend conditional trust in this situation? If you're in a leadership position, honestly assess: are there team members who feel you don't trust? What specific actions could you take this week to demonstrate trust before they've "earned" it in the traditional sense?

Podcasting is one of the smartest moves you can make when you want to expand your audience and market your services. It's intimate, portable, and scalable. More than that, it builds the single currency every service provider needs: trust. If you've been thinking about adding a show to your marketing mix, here's why podcasting deserves a top spot, how it builds real connection, and how you can turn listening into leads.Podcasting pairs long-form content with low friction. People listen while driving, washing dishes, walking the dog, or doing quiet work. That means your message gets repeated exposure in contexts where attention is harder to grab through posts or banners. The medium's steady, episodic cadence helps you build familiarity episode by episode, and familiarity is the stepping stone to influence. On a practical level, podcast audiences have demographic and behavioral traits brands want. Podcast consumers tend to be well educated, more likely to own homes and businesses, and they're comfortable acting on recommendations they hear from hosts. That makes them a high-value audience for service-based professionals who want clients who will invest in expertise. Please Visit: https://www.platformlaunchers.com/

In 15 years of solo cleaning, over 75 families have hired me to clean for them. However, I sold my business with 17. What happened to the others? It's simple. This is a seasonal service for some and a lifetime for others. I never tried to figure that out. I just served. I have lots of experience getting "let go", "moved on", "fired", etc. Some let me know face-to-face with a month's notice. Some stopped immediately through email, phone, or text. Others just disappeared (literally a UFO got 'em)! There was only one time that I fired myself. For the sake of privacy, we'll call this customer "Bob".Bob worked from home as a consultant and his family lived in a beautiful 4,000+ square foot home in a new development. They had a son 1-year older than my son, Kenny. Bob and I had awesome conversations and many were from opposing viewpoints. Some were political and some were religious. We had a mutual respect for each other and our beliefs. The cleaning itself was tough. The master shower had two glass doors, the kitchen island was 15 feet long, and the oven was HUGE! The knobs on the range top would turn to the 'On' position on a hairpin trigger, so I always had to check to the level of OCD to make sure the gas was off. On November 2, 2016, I cleaned and didn't do a good job inspecting!When I got home, there was a text from Bob's wife. She is stressed out as the gas was left on for at least 6 hours after I left and she had to call to get help to make sure it was safe. Thankfully, everything was okay. But the family was in shock and I was feeling a level of guilt I've never felt in all my years in this business. **Cleaners** I urge you to check the oven knobs every time you leave!You'll have to listen to the episode, but here's what happened. I fired myself. When Bob and his wife talked over what they should do, he came to me and just wanted to have another civil conversation. I had prayed and thought about it for a whole day and literally told Bob. "I am SO sorry. This is literally a irreconcilable offense. I put myself in your place with your wife and son as my own. If a cleaner had done that in my home, I would lose all trust and fire them immediately. I think you should do the same. I don't want to lose your business, but I want to do the right thing." Bob was amazed. "Ken, I respect you for your response and care of my family." Ultimately, they did let me go and they should have. I talk about building trust. In this case, I lost all of my trust in the turning of one oven gas knob. I knew it would be harder to go from a 1 Trust Factor to the 10 I had before THAN getting a new client at 6 and getting to 10. After the smoke cleared, I remained friends with Bob. We still connect to this day and he left a glowing review of my cleaning service on Google.

Meghan Weinman joined Carrix and SSA Marine in 2024 as Vice President of Sustainability. She is an industry leader across the sustainability, transportation, and environment sectors and has worked throughout North America and internationally, including Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.  Prior to joining Carrix and SSA Marine, Ms. Weinman was a Managing Director at Edison Energy, leading the Transportation Electrification and Clean Energy Practice. She has also served in roles in management, engineering, and consulting across sustainability and built infrastructure. Ms. Weinman has served as a mentor for the Clean Tech Alliance, an industry advisor at Kellogg School of Management, and is also a frequent speaker on topics relating to sustainability, transportation, clean energy transition, climate, and women in leadership. Meghan Joins Sustainable Nation to Discuss: The scope of sustainability at SSA Marine and 2030 targets Decarbonization strategies including renewable energy sourcing Renewable diesel and hydrogen fuel options Advice and recommendations for sustainability professionals Meghan's Final Five Questions Responses: What is one piece of advice you would give to other sustainability professionals that might help them in their careers? Taking on different roles that strengthen understanding of the overall business is always something that would benefit sustainability. I started out in engineering, I went to business school, I'm now in my role today. That has been hugely helpful to understand different parts and wearing different hats and really being able to think cross functionally. With that, networking with other professionals not only in your industry, but adjacent industries. I always learn things when I talk to others in their roles. I had lunch with one of my colleagues who's at Alaska Airlines and we got to swap stories about how they're handling waste management. That was really helpful. Lastly, being a collaborative partner and really looking at how you can solve problems for stakeholders internally always is a way that can benefit not only sustainability, but the business overall.  What are you most excited about right now in the world of sustainability?  I'll go back to the answer that I gave around doing things that are really good for the business, but that can be sustainability initiatives. I get really excited about doing things that can be mutual wins across an organization. I've been working in electric vehicles now for almost 10 years through a couple of different roles, and there's been so much progress that's been made in terms of technological advancement. The commitment from automakers and equipment makers and increasingly the technology is becoming more and more of a mainstay, and that makes it easier and easier to incorporate into operations. It also brings about cost parity. Those are the things that I'm really getting excited about because it really is at a tipping point.  What is one book you'd recommend sustainability leaders read?  I'll give one book in two different categories. One that jump started my interest in sustainability over 20 years ago, and I'm sure this is probably known to most readers, was Natural Capitalism. That really helped me think about sustainability in a different way and really put into perspective the work that we're doing. But more recently I'm enjoying books that are at the intersection of business and can really help in a sustainability role, and so they're actually negotiation books, and you might wonder why negotiation. It's about coming up with solutions that may benefit many stakeholders across an organization and finding solutions that benefit potentially both sides. If you're thinking about how to convince your CFO or your commercial team, really think about it from a perspective of: how do I get what I want in sustainability, and also the finance team gets what they want. I'm going to give two books here, but one of them is Negotiate Without Fear by Victoria Medvec, and the other one is Getting to Yes, which is a classic by Roger Fisher and William Ury. Those are two that I would recommend any sustainability professional think about in terms of their own organization.  What are some of your favorite resources or tools that really help you in your work?  I really do like getting newsletters. I love reading and finding out what's happening across the industry. A couple that I like is ESG Dive from Industry Dive. That one I find to be really great information about what's happening across different companies, a blend of news and initiatives. I also really like Fortune's newsletters. Fortune has a number of newsletters, but one that has a lot of sustainability topics in there is the Trust Factor. They talk a lot about how sustainability and ESG is really paramount to businesses. But they also have other great newsletters too, like CEO Daily and CFO Daily, and they dabble into sustainability in those newsletters, too.  Where can our listeners go to learn more about you and the work being done at SSA Marine?  You can connect with me on my LinkedIn, Megan Weinman.

They also discussed how the rise of ETFs and technological advancements are reshaping the investment industry, making it easier for investors to access diversified, low-cost portfolios.

Most brands see influencer content as single posts, even when they're part of long-term partnerships. The best brands see these posts as the start of entire campaigns.Creators are more than marketing channels – they're shaping culture, setting trends, and even launching products that outperform legacy brands.This week, Paul welcomes Keith Bendes (Forbes Contributor, Creator Expert & VP of Strategy @ Linqia) to the podcast. Having spent years advising global brands, Keith knows the most impactful ratio of brand-to-creator content, why “unsexy” industries actually need creators the most, and how smart brands are using a mix of CGC (Customer-Generated Content) & paid media to scale trust at speed.You'll learn how to:Go From One Post to Full-Funnel Impact: The strongest brands don't solely run influencer campaigns – they integrate content from each one into every marketing touchpoint. The same creator content that wins on TikTok should be repurposed across paid, CTV, and even OOH.Partner with Influencers Before They Compete with You: Creators are selling products, yes. They're also launching their own. Nestlé's Unwell Hydration with Alex Cooper proves how brands can get in on the action: collaborate now, or risk competing later. Know the Difference Between CGC, UGC & Influencers: “The people with the following are the ones who build the culture”, Keith says. While CGC (Creator-Generated Content) & UGC (User-Generated Content) fuel performance, influencers set the tone. Expect tactical advice for using all three.The Future of Social Commerce & TikTok Shop: Affiliate strategies work, but don't mix them with influencer campaigns. If you want creators to build brand equity, don't turn them into salespeople.What Brands Keep Getting Wrong: You can't buy your way into relevance. The brands that win are the ones creating something people want to be part of.Rethink how you're working with creator content, before you fall behind.Chapters00:00 – Building Brand Culture for Advocacy02:03 – How Influencer Marketing Has Evolved04:07 – Winning Strategies for Brand Engagement06:14 – Earning Trust in “Unsexy” Industries09:06 – The Trust Factor in Content Creation13:41 – Where Paid Media Meets Influencer Strategy15:53 – Why Influencer Marketing Matters More Than Ever17:21 – Leveraging User-Generated Content for Growth20:06 – What's Next for Content Creation?23:05 – How Brands and Creators Build Together31:54 – The Changing Advice for Marketing Campaigns39:10 – The Future of Short-Form Video42:35 – Mastering Affiliate Marketing for Growth46:09 – Balancing Brand Equity with Sales Targets51:06 – Community, Culture & the Future of Brand AdvocacyRate & review Building Brand Advocacy:Apple PodcastsSpotifyConnect with Keith:On LinkedIn Via Linqia's WebsiteHear more from Keith on his podcast, Creator Economy Live!

It's tempting to add some sauce to your content to give it flavor. But if the meat isn't there, what's the point? You have to make sure there's substance to your work before adding style. That's one of the things we talk about with Caroline Van Dyke.In this episode, we're taking marketing lessons from Hot Ones with Caroline's help. She's the Head of Content at Skilljar. And together, we talk about making customers the star, focusing on the meat of the content, and much more.About our guest, Caroline Van DykeCaroline Van Dyke is Head of Content at customer education software company Skilljar. She is a content and creative strategist with more than 10 years experience leading B2B start-up content strategies. Her panache? Puns & a little personality can take brands up a notch. She joined Skilljar in October 2023, and previously worked in various leadership roles at RollWorks and Zugata (acquired by Culture Amp).What B2B Companies Can Learn From Hot Ones:Make customers the star. Highlight how your product is helping them. Use their voice in your content. Caroline says, “As a content creator in B2B spaces, when's the right time to make it like, ‘Hey, look at us and some personality on our team or thought leader.' Is it actually helpful to other people in the audience? Or do you help them make their customers the stars and help give them that material?” It's like how Sean Evans rarely talks about himself, because his focus is on elevating the guest and highlighting their work. Focus on the actual meat of the content. Educate, entertain, and drive value through the content first. Then you can think about making things visually appealing. But when you put style over substance, your content suffers. Caroline says, “Put that effort into what the actual meat of the content is. That's research, getting to know people, and then we're a little bit more forgiving of how things look. Yes, we want them to still be visually appealing and do your best, but gone are the days of pretending that spending all that money or time just on a facade of something is going to also equal great outcomes.” In Hot Ones, this means that the value is on the quality of the questions and research behind them, versus focusing on having a shiny, sparkly set. Quotes*”We're all just kind of raising this bar together of sameness. And so where can you go to get something a little bit different? And that's not to say that you don't also need that sea of sameness and stability and  important stuff. But what on top of it can you add?”*”You can't rip and replace a lot of this conversation around taking B2C and making it B2B. It's not one for one. And you'll see people do it poorly, unfortunately, of thinking, ‘Hey, a consumer likes this. So I'm just going to copy it exactly and somehow make the pun relate to my industry.' If it doesn't land for your audience, respect that other program and don't duplicate it.”Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Caroline Van Dyke, Head of Content at Skilljar[2:44] Caroline Van Dyke's Role at SkillJar[3:41] The Origin Story of Hot Ones[5:41] The Unique Format and Success of Hot Ones[14:16] Analyzing the Interview Style of Hot Ones[23:38] The Trust Factor in Interviews[24:35] The Simplicity and Success of Hot Ones[26:17] Marketing Insights and Trends[27:11] Imitation and Innovation in Content[28:04] The Importance of Authenticity[32:03] Balancing Creativity and Strategy[35:18] Content Strategy at SkillJar[41:18] The Future of B2B ContentLinksWatch Hot OnesConnect with Caroline on LinkedInLearn more about SkilljarAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

How do you envision the collaboration between super-intelligent AI and humans? What steps should humanity start taking now to prepare for a future where this partnership is a reality?  Why do we see the limited things that we see?  Are the things we actually see, a mirage? Today's guest Rob Greenlee added to my dad's definition of the meaning of life, a veteran in the world of podcasting and technology. This episode takes us on a journey through the intersections of technology, consciousness, and the future of human interaction with artificial intelligence. Rob shares his transition from marketing in the Florida citrus industry to becoming a frontrunner in digital media, shedding light on how creating content is more about the energy in the moment than the end product itself. We'll explore thought-provoking topics such as the potential of artificial general intelligence (AGI), the truth that may lie in the transitions between extremes, and the fascinating concept of our consciousness existing in a wireless ether. Moreover, Rob discusses the philosophical and ethical implications of technology in our lives, questioning the visibility of aliens and the invisibility technologies, and considering the eerie possibility of AI taking over jobs. Join host Reena Friedman Watts and her father, Wayne Friedman, as they delve into these mind-expanding topics with Rob, reflecting on how these advances might shape our understanding of life, existence, and the unseen forces that govern our world.
