Stop Confusing People: The "100 Conversation Sprint" to Build Trust Fast
Tue Feb 03 2026
Are you posting content, networking, and "doing all the things" but still hearing crickets?
Here is the hard truth most entrepreneurs ignore: Your business isn't stuck. Your message keeps moving, and that is exactly why people don't trust you.
In a world full of noise, trust isn't a feeling, it's math. (Truth + Time = Trust). When you change your offer every month, flip-flop your niche, or rebrand every quarter, you aren't being "innovative", you're being confusing. And a confused mind never buys.
In this episode, I break down the "Trust Era" of 2026 and reveal the exact strategy to fix your clarity problem. We are ditching the sleazy pitch-slapping for a 100 Conversation Sprint that builds real relationships, real referrals, and a pipeline that actually converts.
If you are ready to stop chasing trends and start building an empire on consistency, this episode is your blueprint.
