Send us a textMike and Doug recount a cathartic, slightly unhinged weekend in Utah full of music, laughter, rituals, and deep connection. From a racist Uber ride and wandering the Joseph Smith Memorial building to writing a new song about living again, the episode moves through politics, spirituality, grief, and creativity without losing its joy. At the center is something simple and necessary: being alive together, making art, and remembering how good it feels to actually live.Want more?

A severe bomb cyclone is targeting the East Coast, threatening to freeze supply chains just days after a similar crisis left trucks stranded in Louisiana. Drivers and fleets are urged to prioritize safety and understand their rights regarding coercion as winter weather intensifies along critical corridors like I-95. While the physical world battles ice, Wall Street celebrates C.H. Robinson's surging stock price following reports of impressive profit margins. The company credits its "lean AI" strategy for decoupling volume growth from headcount, signaling a fundamental shift in how brokerages manage efficiency. The autonomous sector also sees massive investment as Waabi secures $750 million to expand its "physical AI" technology for both trucking and robotaxis. This funding round supports a major partnership with Uber to deploy thousands of autonomous vehicles, aiming for commercialization by 2027. In the courts, major business groups are backing freight brokers in a Supreme Court case that could redefine liability for trucking accidents. Proponents argue that federal law should shield brokers from state-level negligent hiring claims to prevent a costly patchwork of regulations. On the legislative front, a new bill offers a lifeline for heavy-duty towing operators by addressing restrictive length regulations during recovery operations. The proposed Towing Safety Act aims to clear accident scenes faster and improve roadside safety for first responders. Legal troubles continue for the R&R Family of Companies as new lawsuits allege the firm continued operations and accumulated debt while insolvent. Meanwhile, legacy carrier Schneider prepares for a leadership transition with Jim Filter set to take the helm as CEO this summer.

Arjun Vora was born and raised in Mumbai. He grew up in a family that wasn't financially stable, which drove him to come to the states for new opportunities. He came for school, landing in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and immediately loved the environment. Post school, he worked for MicroStrategy and Salesforce, eventually landing at Uber - where he met Tito. Outside of tech, he's married to his girlfriend from 9th grade with 2 kids.Tito Goldstein was introduced to technology when he was 8 years old, building simple games in Q basic. Since then, he ha s been tinkering and creating things. He graduated from USC, and continuing tinkering in web design and building products around the messaging world. Eventually, he came to Uber and met Arjun on day one. Outside of tech, he enjoys projects where he finds something scary and then digs in to become a true expert.While Tito and Arjun were at Uber, they quickly understood that the reason people drove for the company was not the pay, but the flexibility and self service aspect of the platform. With this, they started to wonder... why can't we give this to everyone else?This is the creation story of Teambridge.SponsorsTECH DomainsMezmoBraingrid.aiAlcorEquitybeeTerms and conditions: Equitybee executes private financing contracts (PFCs) allowing investors a certain claim to ESO upon liquidation event; Could limit your profits.

In this episode of The Real Build, I sat down with Bryan Clayton, co-founder of GreenPal, a platform often compared to the Uber for lawn care. But before GreenPal, Bryan spent years running a traditional landscaping business. He was in the field every day dealing with crews, customers, weather, margins, and all the chaos that comes with service work.What really pushed Bryan to start GreenPal was being fed up with bad landscapers dragging the industry down. No-shows, poor communication, and unreliable service were hurting good operators and frustrating homeowners. Instead of walking away from the problem, he decided to solve it.Today, GreenPal has helped generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for lawn care professionals across the country. But the most interesting part of Bryan's story isn't just the company, it's how he built it. Bootstrapped. No shortcuts. A lot of hard lessons learned along the way.We talked about building from the ground up, mistakes that almost killed the business, and what service-based entrepreneurs can learn from solving real problems in their industry.If you run a service business, hiring a lawn care company, or are thinking about building something that actually makes an industry better, this is an episode worth listening to.Guest Info: Bryan ClaytonWebsite: ⁠https://www.yourgreenpal.com/Linkedin: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/bryan-clayton-a96b33214/Host Info:Email: Bill@rkreiman.comCONNECT WITH ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:▶︎ YOUTUBE | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxAdSxHN0dIXZPhA-6p1HYA ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠▶︎ INSTAGRAM | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/imbillreiman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠▶︎FACEBOOK| ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/billy.reiman ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠▶︎ LINKEDIN | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/bill-reim...⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠▶︎ TWITTER | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/ImBillReiman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠▶︎ WEBSITE | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.rkreiman.com⁠

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1255: Waymo gains ground on rideshare rivals as Tesla undercuts them all. A global study shows bad CX drives customers away faster than high prices. And automakers pull back from Super Bowl ads, choosing more flexible, efficient buys.Only two automakers — Toyota and Cadillac — are confirmed for Super Bowl 2026, as most brands step away from the pricey event. Facing budget pressure and chasing efficiency, car companies are shifting spend to longer campaigns across other live events.Brands like Ford, BMW, Kia, Honda, Nissan, and Stellantis are sitting it out, citing affordability and better ROI elsewhere.With a $9 million price tag per 30 seconds plus production, the Super Bowl is losing appeal amid industry cost pressures.Automakers are turning to the Olympics, World Cup, and NBA All-Star Game for more cost-effective, multi-week campaigns.“There's no secret that the premium of being in the Super Bowl certainly would come at the expense of having some additional investment,” said Sean Gilpin, Hyundai CMO.Waymo is becoming a real contender in ride-hailing while Tesla goes for a classic price war play. A new Obi study compares autonomous and traditional services, showing a market reshaping rapidly — especially in San Francisco.Waymo's robotaxi pricing has dropped and is now only 12.7% more than Uber and 27.3% more than Lyft, compared to 30–40% higher in mid-2025.Tesla Robotaxi leads on price at just $8.17 per ride, but lags with 15.32-minute average wait times.Obi CEO Ashwini Anburajan: “They're using the playbook that Uber and Lyft used... and we know that playbook works."Consumers now prioritize customer experience over price with 59% abandoning a brand after one bad experience versus 55% fleeing due to price hikes, according to a global Havas CX study. Consistency and emotional connection are key drivers of loyalty.A global survey of 59,000+ shoppers shows experience matters more than cost — more consumers ditch brands after poor service than high prices.Consistent, seamless experiences across digital and physical channels top what customers value most.Emotional connection and personalization now weigh as heavily as functional efficiency in shaping CX.“Loyalty can only be earned by delivering unwavering consistency, authentic personal connection, and experiences that create lasting emotional memories,” says David Shulman.This episode of the Automotive State of the Union is brought to you by Amazon Autos: MeetJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

At age 47, Neil Whitney and his wife were living paycheck to paycheck—one bad day away from losing everything. Now, less than ten years later, he's financially free with $8,000/month in passive income from rentals. Neil started with almost no money, promising his wife he would keep their life savings untouched while investing. He picked up side gigs, drove for Uber for a year and a half, and saved anything he could to buy a rental. And once he got his first rent check, everything changed for Neil and his family. Neil is now a millionaire in his 50s, thanks to “boring rentals,” all in affordable price ranges ($200K or under homes!). Once paid off, his rental portfolio will make him over $20,000 per month. In his own words, “If I can do this, anyone can do this.” Today, he shares the steps he took, how he finds the best tenants, and how to use rentals to fund the dream life you've always wanted (new cars, overseas trips, and more).  So if you're in your 40s, 50s, or 60s and thinking it's too late for you to turn your life around and get to financial freedom, Neil is ready to prove you wrong.  In This Episode We Cover How to buy your first rental property even if you're living paycheck to paycheck  Are $200K houses really worth it? Neil says “yes!” and explains why lower-income tenants should not scare you  The one side hustle that helped Neil save over $15,000 for real estate investing  Using home equity to invest and build a real estate portfolio faster  Want a new car?

Send us a textHeadlines say crime is down and wages are up, but they rarely ask why. We dig into the data and argue that consistent immigration enforcement is quietly shifting the country toward order: fewer repeat offenders on the streets, tighter labor markets that finally reward hourly workers, and public services that are no longer bursting at the seams. It's not about cruelty; it's about incentives. When rules are clear, chaos recedes—and the people who rely most on schools, hospitals, and safe streets feel the gains first.Culture sets the tone, too. We react to Michelle Obama's bleak framing of womanhood and make a different case: empowerment without agency is just intimidation. Younger women aren't asking for a battle plan; they're asking for options. Real freedom means choosing career, family, both, or neither without apology—and recognizing that seasons change. Choice beats grievance, and optimism beats burnout.Then we open the black box of ride-hail safety. Court discovery shows Uber logged more than 500,000 sexual misconduct reports since 2017—far beyond public summaries. We break down the vetting gaps, the “review before suspend” policy that keeps accused drivers on the road, and the limits of background checks without fingerprints or international records. Safety has a standard in high-risk industries: suspend first, investigate fast, and publish transparent stats.Finally, we unpack Canada's move to lower tariffs on Chinese EVs. On paper it's small; in practice it risks undercutting Canadian auto jobs, straining U.S. supply chains, and giving Beijing fresh leverage in North America. Subsidized imports and contested IP don't just move cars—they move power. Guardrails like enforceable caps, strong rules of origin, and firm reciprocal measures aren't optional if we want to protect workers, innovation, and security.If you value common sense over spin, tap follow, share this with a friend, and leave a quick review.

What if AI didn't just give you answers—but helped you understand how the best operators actually think?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Casey Winters, former growth leader at Pinterest and Eventbrite, to unpack why he's building SuperMe, an AI-native professional network designed around perspective, not content or virality.Casey shares why meaningful expertise has disappeared from public platforms, how knowledge has moved into private networks, and why most AI tools miss the thing people actually want: judgment. The conversation explores how AI can responsibly capture a person's thinking from real artifacts (conversations, writing, podcasts), how trust and consent must be designed into these systems, and why scaling access to expertise doesn't mean replacing humans.They also dive into mentorship, career leverage, and why peer learning often matters more than traditional top-down advice. If you're a founder, operator, or product leader thinking deeply about AI, knowledge-sharing, and the future of professional networks, this episode offers a thoughtful and opinionated look at what comes next.Big thanks to Adam Fishman for introducing us to Casey!All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Joe share's another chicken update for us, this time from Werner Herzog. Dave's got a story from a listener named Tim, an IRS Criminal Investigation agent, who explains that real CI agents may contact people unannounced and can verify themselves in person, but if anyone asks for gift cards or crypto, it's definitely a scam. Maria has the story on how attackers are abusing real SendGrid accounts to send politically charged phishing emails that look legitimate and trick users into handing over their credentials. Joe has two stories this week, the first on Cambodia's renewed crackdown on massive Southeast Asian scam networks following the arrest and extradition of alleged kingpin Chen Zhi, signaling deeper international cooperation against fraud operations that have stolen billions worldwide, and the second on a Nashville Uber driver who lost $300 after falling for a convincing phone scam that impersonated Uber Support and falsely accused him of drunk driving. Our catch of the day comes from Reddit scams where one scammer gets put through the ringer, twice. Resources and links to stories: Cambodia to keep up crackdown on scam centres after arrest of alleged mastermind Uber driver describes drunk driving scam that cost him $300 SendGrid isn't emailing you about ICE or BLM.

This episode is part of the "Inches Are All Around Us" series looking for all the little pockets—inches, if you will—that comprise the greater than $1 trillion in healthcare waste in this country annually. For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. Many of these inches, if we hack them out, will actually improve patient care because these inches are just like the friction that's in the middle. To this end, I started thinking about FQHCs (Federally Qualified Health Centers), which are (these FQHCs in this context, if you think about it) kind of a great laboratory for scrappy and amazing case studies about finding and cutting out waste with some serious fiscal discipline. The thing with FQHCs and why they are great places to I spy inches of waste is really because if an FQHC has a budget shortfall, they cannot solve it by cost shifting to commercial patients, commercial members, commercial plans. They have no commercial patients.  Also, they have a patient population that many would consider challenging, and they cannot restrict access. They gotta make do with what they have. They must have actually true fiscal discipline. They either figure out how to be efficient, or their patient population does not get care. But what tipped me over the edge to revisit this episode from 2021 with Gary Campbell—who is the CEO of an FQHC, by the way—I picked the show to revisit because of my conversation with Nikki King, DHA, that I had earlier this year (EP470). Nikki and I caught up, and she is now the CEO of an FQHC in Indiana. I had interviewed Nikki, by the way, about rural health a few years ago (EP338). So, go back and listen to that if anything I say today you find intriguing for other reasons. Tribe, this is interesting to think about what I'm about to tell you. Really. I've been thinking about it for six months. I wanna start out here recapping my aforementioned catch-up conversation with Nikki King as the lead-in to my conversation with Gary Campbell to follow. And to be specific here, Gary Campbell is the CEO of an FQHC in Virginia called Johnson Health Center; and Nikki King is CEO at Alliance Health Centers in Indiana. Let me tell you one thing that Nikki King did. There are many things that she did, but here's one that she told me about. Nikki realized after talking and listening to their patients that one of the biggest barriers to getting care at her FQHC for patients was no transportation. Also, as most FQHCs, they were short on funds. So, doing things like free Ubers or something like that was not an option. So, you know what Nikki did? She thought about where her patients are. For example, most referrals to their addiction treatment services came from the courthouse—a judge remanding, if that's the right word, someone to treatment. So, two birds with one stone style, Nikki marched over to the courthouse facilities person and asked if they had any open office space at the courthouse, you know, work from home and all of that. Maybe there were some open offices. Well, the courthouse did. They had some open offices. So, now rent-free or almost rent-free, I don't, I'm not sure, when a judge says to somebody, "Go get addiction treatment," that judge can also point down the hall and the patient can just walk over. Nikki did the same thing, setting up a clinic in a day care center. She set up a clinic in a homeless shelter and right by a big basketball court. You compare and contrast this, I don't know, "just get it done" approach to all of the times that you hear about "some cash-strapped entity" who decides the best thing to do immediately is new construction. Pay to build brick and mortar and then in perpetuity, of course, pay all the costs and the snow removal and the security and the utilities and repair for that new construction. And they could be an FQHC building new buildings—one of the less scrappy ones—but it also could be a big, consolidated health system or anybody in between. It's amazing how many times you hear "razor-thin margins," and then you hear "new construction" in the same sentence. I'm like, "Yeah … gotcha. Upsize." Call it my Pennsylvania Dutch and Bronx heritage. But yeah … head exploding. That was a tangent. Bottom line, however, I say all this to say FQHCs (the ones with great leadership, at least) are a wonderful case study to look for insights on how to operate in an environment that cannot rely on, again, raising commercial rates and cost shifting to balance the budget, right? Let's not forget, there are two very different ways to end up with no profit: One is genuine struggle. The other is simply being very good at spending every dollar that is given to you. For plan sponsors, this is a vital distinction, regardless of how loud anybody cries poor, any clinical partner who lacks fiscal discipline isn't struggling; they're inefficient. And we do not have a market in healthcare to be able to tell who's struggling versus who is inefficient. So, yeah … keep that in mind and listen to episode 490 and 492 after this one with Shane Cerone and Sam Flanders, MD, for more on the whole "there's no market" theme, as well as more on the fiscal discipline topic. But again, this is why FQHCs are such a good case study here, because there's an upper limit to how much money they have. In most circumstances—I mean, barring some big donation or something like that—but under most circumstances, they have a revenue cap that they have to be disciplined enough to work within. Okay … one last thing before we kick into the show today. I wanna be really clear here. Fiscal discipline isn't something that any individual doctor or nurse or other clinician can tackle in a vacuum. Or even any given administrator. It is a leadership imperative. Great leadership doesn't just manage the clinical side. It takes accountability for the administrative waste that keeps margins thin and prices high. So, here's actionable advice for anybody listening, regardless of what you may or may not have to do with FQHCs. If you're a plan sponsor looking for a clinical partner, consider, like, what Nikki King is doing and the thinking that Gary Campbell is gonna talk about as a benchmark. Real value comes from finding the organizations that treat fiscal discipline as kind of a mission critical strategy, because these days, with all the affordability issues, it is financial toxicity is clinical toxicity. I mean, maybe you can find an organization that actually does unit cost accounting. Listen to the show with Mick Connors, MD (EP495). Okay … as I said earlier, my guest today is Gary Campbell, who I spoke with in 2021—so this is a deep cut from the archives, but it's also a really great show.

Ramit Sethi of I Will Teach You To Be Rich continues his discussion with Mike and Noel in part two of their financial deep dive. The couple, married for just 6 months, faces a daunting $244K in debt with zero savings, fueled by previous "guilt-free" spending and a shocking $170K windfall that disappeared. Despite their dire situation, major cuts to their fixed costs haven't happened yet. Ramit encourages Noel to reconsider her church tithing and find proactive ways to increase income, like driving for Uber. Can they shift their mindset from feeling deprived to purposeful sacrifice, anchor their spending to zero, and collaboratively create a sustainable financial future? In this episode we uncover: • Noel's decision regarding her church tithing • The power of incremental income, like Noel's potential earnings from Uber • Ramit's "anchor to zero" framework for mindful spending • How comparing current spending to past mistakes sabotages financial progress • The importance of distinguishing between sacrifice and suffering • Why making big changes with money is meant to be hard • The potential for selling household items to boost savings and signal a "rebuilding phase" • How a short-term financial plan can set them up for long-term success • The opportunity to define their own timeline for debt repayment and savings Chapters: (00:00:00) Previously on money for couples (00:02:09) How Noel's decided to approach tithing (00:03:33) Why cutting subscriptions won't solve their problems (00:03:49) Noel's plan to earn more money with Uber (00:04:21) Ramit introduces the "anchor to zero" spending framework (00:05:46) Mike and Noel reflect on the conversation (00:07:11) Sacrifice vs. suffering: Reframing financial changes (00:08:43) Why comparing to the past holds them back (00:09:50) Noel's internal struggle with tithing (00:10:34) Ramit presents a vision for their future (00:11:15) The idea of selling household items to fund savings (00:12:18) Ramit's proposal for their next steps and a follow-up This episode is brought to you by: ZocDoc | Go to https://zocdoc.com/ramit to find and instantly book a top-rated doctor today #sponsored  DeleteMe | Get 20% off all consumer plans when you go to https://joindeleteme.com/ramit and use promo code RAMIT at checkout Leesa | Go to https://leesa.com for 25% off mattresses PLUS get an extra $50 off with promo code RAMIT, exclusive for my listeners Factor | Go to https://factormeals.com/ramit50OFF and use code RAMIT50OFF to get 50% off your first box, plus free breakfast for 1 year Trust & Will | Protect what matters most in minutes at https://trustandwill.com/ramit and get 10% off plus free shipping Connect with Ramit • Get my new book, Money For Couples • Get Money Coaching with Ramit  • Download the Conscious Spending Plan • Listen to my book—now on Audible • Get my New York Times best-selling book • Get my no-numbers journal • Other episodes • Instagram • Twitter • YouTube If you and your partner have a money issue and you want my help, I occasionally select a couple to work with, free of charge.

If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader Jimmy Wales is the founder of Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. 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?
