I often get asked the question: why is trust, really? It's hard to rely on dictionary definitions to give a thoughtful answer. This episode will answer the question by answering another question: why do we trust? In this episode, you will learn that we trust, in the most simplistic way, because we want to get a reward while feeling safe. You will learn that trust is about risk, fear, safety vs. danger, it's about giving control, and about choice. This episode might feel a little philosophical, but in the end, you will get my definition of what trust is.
