“You trust strangers with your life every day—you just don’t call it that.”
In today’s episode, I reflect on a surprising realization: we’re far more trusting than we think.
From stopping at red lights to walking across intersections, we place massive trust in strangers daily—yet many of us live with the belief that we “can’t trust anyone.”
Here’s what I unpack:
A moment of observation: a mother crossing the street with her child—and what it taught me about unconscious trust
A funny but deep story about working armed security, candy stuck in a vending machine, and how people behave
Why we trust total strangers to drive, follow laws, and not cause harm—but say we “don’t trust anyone”
How this relates to opportunity, love, money, and growth: your mindset filters what you allow in
The hidden cost of always expecting the worst
Why your life changes when you start actively focusing on what could go right
A practical reminder that life is already hard—don’t make it harder by focusing on fear
This is a short but powerful mindset reset.
Trust doesn’t mean being naive—it means choosing the lens you want to see the world through.
Today, look for one thing that went right because of trust—then reflect on how much trust you already operate with.
