If you haven't seen them yet, OpenAI's launched new ad campaign of short 30 seconds videos that embed AI into an idealised, warmly analog, version of the past. They're quite visually pleasing, to be honest, with a slight VHS grain and muted colours, and depict very relatable everyday scenarios like wanting to impress a girl or getting fitter. They lean hard on 80s soundtracks and cheesy movie vibes.

While consulting for a national DIY automotive store chain, we discovered a common pattern. Auto enthusiasts (gearheads) who could evaluate spare part technologies and verify quality on their own did not care which store they patronized, as long as the products they needed were always available. On the other hand, relative amateurs and novices who lacked sufficient technical knowledge developed loyalty to retail stores where they felt they received trustworthy guidance to help select the right products for their needs.

For many of us, the workplace in recent years has been dominated by anxiety. How will we keep our people safe? How will we adjust and adapt to hybrid work? How will we continue to be productive and profitable? How will I prove myself indispensable in the age of AI and keep my job? In this high- stress and high-stakes environment, some of this worry is a positive motivator, encouraging us to anticipate and prepare for future challenges.

Have you ever been a part of a product launch that felt more like a daunting experience, rather than an exciting or thrilling one? The product launch where users got more confused and felt helpless? Where they could not even point out what was wrong, because the product team worked so heavily on improving the tech and the UX, that it actually changed the way they were used to working before.

People don't support those who are just credible and reliable; they respond when valued and understood. Emotional closeness and trust predict willingness to help far more than formal authority or job title. When support is seen as self-serving, reciprocity drops. Genuine altruism inspires stronger responses. Building authentic, ongoing relationships makes it natural for others to want to help when you need it most.

The race for supremacy among major artificial intelligence (AI) providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, is approaching peak intensity. Alongside this growth, concerns about customer trust and distrust have become paramount. These concerns are appropriate-our own work suggests that in the face of the ambiguity and uncertainty typically accompanying a new technology such as healthcare AI, customers and users rely heavily on their trust in the provider to dampen risk and obtain peace of mind.

Surely there is magic at play. That lawyer is the ultimate charmer who serendipitously happens to be in the right place at the right time-every time. Whatever the secret, you need to figure it out because referrals drive law firm business. And while referrals may feel like random acts of magic or serendipity that are beyond your control, they are not. They are the outcome of something much more human and down-to-earth: real, authentic relationships that are nurtured through intentionality and planning.

We have been together for three years. Our love was steady, warm, and full of promise. One evening, during a friend's wedding, I noticed that my husband was laughing a little too freely with a woman I didn't know.Inside me jealousy clawed. My mind whispered: "Who is she? Does he like her? Am I not enough?" The old me would have kept quiet and let the resentment pile up. But this time, I chose honesty.

We've all heard the phrase, "underpromise and overdeliver." Unfortunately, I often see businesses that tend to " overpromise and underdeliver," failing to meet customers' expectations. For me, it all comes down to trust. Can I rely on a company to consistently meet and exceed my expectations? As entrepreneurs, this can be a difficult question to confront. However, if you're unsure how to respond, it may be time to reflect on your practices.

You have to accept responsibility for the error-which also means specifying what the error is. You have to truly be sorry for what happened. You have to lay out the plan to ensure that this does not happen again.

Trust isn't forced, but emerges from autonomic states shaped by safety, connection, and co-regulation. Trust is a physiological state arising from shared experiences.

Parents should be informed of the potential harms of common childhood vaccines. It was time for the board to discuss how best to communicate those risks, rather than withholding information contra the CDC narrative.

Trust isn't just good manners or playing nice. It's something we live on, whether we realize it or not. We use it every time we open up to someone, every time we take a chance that they'll show up, follow through, or just treat us right.

Every person experiences loss during their lifetime. Sometimes, these are devastating disappointments or disillusionments. If one can bounce back without cynicism or loss of trust, it fosters deeper connections.

Gamers are savvy. They expect honest insights and authentic voices. Affiliates build trust by sharing real experiences, balanced reviews (pros and cons), and avoiding exaggerated claims.

Trust connects everything-our friendships, families, communities, and even how we run businesses or build nations. It's easy to think of trust as something we're taught by society, but it runs deeper than that.

At the heart of connection is the feeling that your thoughts, emotions, and perceptions are not just valid, but also recognized by someone else. This doesn't require total agreement, but it does require enough overlap in how you each make sense of the world.

The social fabric feels increasingly frayed these days. Discourse is rough, in part due to rampant misinformation online. Recent surveys consistently show declining confidence in institutions, government, media and companies. This lack of trust leaves consumers hungry for authenticity and reliability in an uncertain world.
