Trust is not what you think it is. It is not absolute or universal. Trust is relative. The same behavior that would cause one person to trust you could cause another person to distrust you. The level of trust someone has in you is the product of their trustfulness (their willingness to trust other people) and your trustworthiness. There is almost (I said ALMOST) nothing you can do about the former, and everything you can do about the latter. Because of that, you must evaluate your own trustworthiness one relationship at a time, separately. Odds are, though, that the same behaviors that are holding you back from being more trusted in one relationship are holding you back from being more trusted in other relationships. Welcome to The Trust Show. I’m your host, Yoram Solomon, a top 10 trust expert and researcher, the author of the book of trust, and the creator of the Trust Habits® workshop that helps people and organizations form new habits that change old behaviors, build trust, and transform organizations. In this educational podcast, I will challenge you to think differently about trust, through the 8 laws of trust and the 6 components of trustworthiness. I will share my own stories, experiences of others, trust research, and sometimes, reflect on a news item. And through those, I will show you how to build trust, be trusted, and know who to trust. Because the answer to this question will have the biggest impact on your personal and professional, success or failure: can you be trusted?

Most people who talk about trust as if it’s universal or fixed. It’s not. In this episode, I will show you 4 ways in which trust (and trustworthiness) are not universal, but rather relative, and will take you through the first 4 laws of trust I discovered (Trust is Continuous, Contextual, Personal, and Asymmetrical).

S1E4: Risk, Fear, Trust, Danger, and Safety
Sunday Jun 13, 2021
Sunday Jun 13, 2021
This episode is going to be a bit more philosophical. I will first define what risk, fear, trust, danger, and safety are, and then describe the relationships between them. What makes us feel safe? What makes us feel that we are in danger? Can we decide how much risk we are willing to take? What are the consequences of taking more risk, and what are the consequences of taking too little risk? Finally, I will provide my own definition for trust, and break it down into its components.
