“Trust signals are the points of evidence that individuals, companies, and brands use to win one another’s trust. Mastering these signals is the single best way to build, grow, and protect your brand in today’s post-truth world—where trust is the most precious commodity of all.”

This week, Jayzen is thrilled to welcome Scott Baradell to the show. Scott is the CEO of Idea Grove, one of the top twenty-five tech PR agencies in the United States, and author of Trust Signals: Brand Building in a Post-Truth World. Building your brand is critical to advancing your career, and understanding what your trust signals are and how to manage them on a daily basis is a key element. Scott started to explore Trust Signals through his blog in 2020 and his book is a culmination of his work in the space. 

Scott is a big believer in ongoing personal reinvention and started his career as an overnight reporter for a local newspaper. Before Idea Grove, Scott was the chief communications officer for two billion-dollar companies, the co-founder and CMO of a venture-backed startup, and an award-winning journalist.
