TRUST IS IN THE BODY: WHY ALMOST EVERYONE IS WRONG ABOUT TRUST
Read almost anything about how much we need “trust” from thought leaders on the internet and you’ll get some mix of authenticity ethics, visibility games, and trauma porn. We’ve been trained to play trust like its an internet game to fiddle with in between YouTube shorts when it is actually an evolution-derived, neurological system that makes decisions long before we recognize them.
TRUST THE DISTRUST: RESISTANCE AS A SIGNAL FOR GROWTH
Media culture and bad mastermind groups have trained leaders to pathologize employee resistance. But in reality, it takes passion and commitment to put up a fight, particularly in this era of chronic trust decay. Understanding the sources of resistance and how to resolve it is critical for any leader growth in the trustbroken economy
NOBODY’S PAYING ATTENTION – THANK GOD
Rule #1 of The Damn Rules is a full takedown of the attention economy myth. What has been sold as “attention” is actually an addiction casino designed to hold consumers in a mindless scroll and businesses in permanent state of fiefdom. Ventures can and should recover the power in their attention building on the fundamental premise that funnels don’t exist. Networks do.
