In this episode, Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, joins Kwame Christian to explore one of the biggest challenges of our time: the collapse of trust. From misinformation and social media outrage to AI deepfakes and short-term thinking, Jimmy shares what he’s learned about truth, integrity, and human connection after decades shaping the world’s largest source of information.
Discover why trust is disappearing—from our politics to our personal relationships—and what it actually takes to rebuild it. This conversation dives deep into how algorithms shape what we believe, how technology manipulates emotion, and how each of us can bring honesty and balance back into our lives.
If you’ve ever felt that the Internet is dividing us more than connecting us, this episode will change how you see the digital world—and what you can do about it.

You’ll discover the psychology of manipulation, the signals of half-truths, and the emotional intelligence required to navigate gray zones without losing trust or power.
