In this episode of Adding Context, Michael Bollentin sits down with Jack Myers to explore one of the defining challenges of our time: the growing erosion of trust. Their conversation examines why skepticism has spread beyond the media into government, healthcare, education, business, and other institutions, while unpacking the difference between authority and legitimacy, why trust is a relationship rather than a metric, and what today's leadership challenges reveal about the systems we've built.
Michael and Jack also discuss the changing expectations of younger generations, the role of authenticity and transparency in leadership, and how artificial intelligence is reshaping communication, decision-making, and human connection. From collaboration under pressure to the future of media and technology, this episode offers a thoughtful look at what it will take to rebuild trust in an increasingly complex world.
