Everyone knows trust is the currency of professional services—but most firms are trying to earn it in the slowest way possible: one lunch/coffee/zoom chat at a time.

In this episode, John and Mark break down how to scale trust using the Trust Equation, parasocial relationships, and modern content channels that build credibility, reliability, and intimacy long before a prospect ever speaks to you. If you want more pipeline without doubling your lunch budget, this one’s for you.

Special guest appearance from Melina Palmer, host of The Brainy Business podcast, with perspective on parasocial relationships.
