What if trust wasn’t something you’re born with, but something you can learn?

This week, I sat down with Dr. Darryl Stickel, one of the world’s leading experts on trust. He’s advised everyone from top CEOs to the Canadian military, and in this episode, he breaks down the art (and science) of trust—what it is, why it’s misunderstood, and how to build it in any relationship.

We talk about:

• Growing up in northern B.C. and surviving a traumatic brain injury
• The 10 levers of trust (yes, it’s a skill you can practice)
• How trust gets eroded—even when you think you’re doing the right thing
• Why small doses of vulnerability matter more than big, performative acts
• Trust in parenting, marriage, leadership, and community
• The hidden link between resilience and curiosity



This conversation hit deep. It’s not just for business leaders. It’s for anyone who’s ever struggled to rebuild trust—with others or with themselves.

Trust isn’t magic. It’s not even mysterious. It’s a set of actions you take consistently—and this episode shows you how.
