In today’s episode, Brian Sher and I discuss how to recognize who can truly be trusted in sports and entertainment. We share a three-bucket system for evaluating reliability, responsiveness, honesty, and consistency while allowing people room to grow and change. Brian explains why actions reveal far more than words, especially when dealing with flaky partners, manipulators, oversellers, and people who criticize others behind their backs. We also explore the difference between standing in authentic power and using force to compensate for insecurity. From reputation and credibility to name-dropping and humility, we explain how recurring patterns can help determine where relationships deserve our time, trust, and attention.
