Building Trust #139

Episode Summary In this episode, we talk about the dismal state of trust in society, why it matters to the individual, and how we can change our own scenarios to build trust Perpetual Learning Minicast Manjula and I are very excited to launch the Perpetual Learning Minicast where we aim to discuss topics shared on Perpetual Newsletter (a weekly newsletter focused on sharing interesting reads for 137 weeks and counting). Manjula had come to me with the idea of creating a new medium for my audience to interact with my content. The thought of discussing the Perpetual Learning Newsletter and looking at the topics I share from a different perspective was very exciting. We hope you enjoy the Minicast and would love to get some feedback as we iterate on this idea. Quick Intro on Manjula Manjula Selvarajah is a national columnist to CBC Radio’s 20-plus radio stations across the country. An occasional radio host for CBC’s Ontario morning shows, she is a frequent emcee and moderator, with repeat speaking appearances at Elevate, Mars Discovery District and Collision. Formerly, she was on the executive team of a now acquired Toronto-based startup and holds a degree in Engineering from Queen’s University. She is co‐founder of the non-profit Tamil Women Rising and sits on the board of Scientists in School. Following Manjula for a few years now, I’ve personally been very impressed by her ability to try and excel at new projects. Her story from working on the executive team for a well-known Toronto-based startup to building a very successful career in journalism is a personal inspiration. Check out more of her work by checking out her website or following her on Twitter. This is a public episode.
