In today's world, trust matters more than ever. In this episode, we take a fresh look at trust between individuals: how it's built, tested, and sometimes broken. Then, we zoom out to explore how that same trust shapes teams, leaders, and entire organizations.

What happens when trust becomes a shared challenge? How does leadership influence it—and how can organizations measure and strengthen it in meaningful ways?

We'll also uncover why trust isn't simply something you have or don't. It exists on a spectrum—and when it breaks down, it can be repaired. Our guest in this episode is an expert on trust, offering practical insights for rebuilding trust that lasts.
