“Twenty years ago, my father built a thriving business with a handshake and a business card” “Sorry mate. Welcome to the Trust Recession Era”. In your father’s era, trust was institutional. People believed in companies, credentials, and corporate polish. Now, people don’t believe TV, the newspaper, the media, the government… Almost nothing. This is why great engineers, and other professionals remain invisible despite their skills. Other people, less-qualified attract attention. This is why...
