Trust isn't automatic-it's granted, tested, and sometimes shattered. But without it, relationships break down, organizations falter, and success remains out of reach.
For over 25 years, I've dedicated my life to innovation in robotics, where precision and reliability are paramount. Yet, in all my years working with technology, one truth remains: robots may operate flawlessly, but trust between people is anything but predictable. Unlike robots, trust isn't programmed-it must be built.
I wasn't born trusting. Growing up in Detroit, I learned early that trust could be a liability. My world was quick to judge and slow to believe in the potential of a young boy with big dreams. My journey to becoming a pioneering robotics engineer was not just about mastering technology-it was about learning to trust myself and others, and in my potential to grow.
In this book, I take you on a deep dive into the power of trust-how it shapes our relationships, fuels leadership, and determines the trajectory of our lives. Through raw personal stories and hard-earned lessons, I reveal principles that will challenge you to rethink trust-how you give it, how you earn it, and most importantly, how you rebuild it when it's lost.
