| 0:00.0 | So today I want to talk about the importance and the power that comes from building trust. |
| 0:05.0 | You see, when two people build a trusting relationship, regardless of if it's business or personal relationship, |
| 0:11.0 | it opens the potential for communication just beyond words. You see, when two people trust each other, it actually creates this sacred bond. |
| 0:19.0 | You see, trust comes into play in many different areas of our lives. |
| 0:22.5 | Now, if you listen to me, I know you're a leader. And trust is a critical piece of being an effective |
| 0:26.8 | leader. You know, you trust your team to deliver their best, and of course, they trust you to look out for |

| 1:12.0 | with a single lie. Also, it's important to know this, and that is that power of trust isn't dependent |
| 1:17.0 | on who you trust. It's dependent on your ability to trust. Now, Confucius back in the day, even said, |
| 1:22.0 | it's more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them. I want to say that again. He said it's |
