1. Trust is not an input. It\u2019s an outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Trust cannot be broken in an instant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. The words trust, trustworthy and trusting do not have the same meaning and cannot be used interchangeably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. There is no trust \u201cbox\u201d that can be checked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Perception of trust does not equal trust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. There is no oxytocin \u201ctrust molecule.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Trust cannot be regulated or \u201ctechnologized.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. The most \u201cpopular\u201d social media names in trust are not the most knowledgeable. They just have bigger budgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Using trust words du jour does not equal action. (Brand trust is not trust.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Reducing quantifiable risk does not increase trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
