You're about to hear the introduction or chapter one, which really lays the foundations on what trust is and how it works in our lives. And I find it fascinating and also a beautiful thing that trust has more definitions than love. So it is the most debated sociological concept in our lives.

And so in chapter one, we really dig into this understanding of what trust is and how it works and how it influences your decisions and choices in ways that you may be aware of or may never have thought about before.

Yeah. I really hope it changes the way people think about trust. That's the reason for doing this.

It's called How to Trust and Be Trusted. Intentionally a two-way title because trust is something that you give and something that you earn. And we have to think about both those things in our lives.

Thank you, Malcolm.

Thank you, Malcolm.

Have you ever trusted the wrong person? In this chapter, I'm going to teach you a really important workplace skill. How to give your trust to the right people. Because we can all learn how to make better trust decisions. I know firsthand about bad trust decisions. Because when I was five years old, my parents put their trust in the wrong person. A nanny. Hello? Dad? Hi Rach, just a sec.

Hello? Dad? Hi Rach, just a sec.

I called my dad to ask him more about it. So, I'm calling about the nanny. Mm-hmm. You know which nanny? I think I know which nanny. A nanny are called Doris. It's hard to ever forget Doris. What was your first impression of her? What do you remember when she came into the house?

Unimpressive? What do you mean by that?

Oh yes, bland old Doris got up to all sorts of things. The nanny my parents trusted to take care of me and my brother turned out to be very untrustworthy indeed. She forged my dad's signature to get a loan for a car. She stole from us in the most brazen ways. And she was even running a drugs ring. Really. Deciding whom to trust can be pretty complicated.

Okay, so not everyone has put their trust in a drug-dealing nanny. However, we all know how bad it feels to make a poor trust decision. But I want you to be able to make good trust decisions because being able to trust people is a positive thing and it will make you better at your job. So I'm going to tell you why we sometimes trust the wrong people, like dodgy Doris.
