Local Trust

20240325

In Episode 1, Rachel takes us right back to 11th century medieval Europe, where the 'Maghribi traders', a tight-knit group of Jewish traders, made a leap of trust. They are the main characters of our first trust shift, when we began to trust outside of our local communities for the first time.

Distrust In The Institution

20240327

In Episode 3, Rachel explores how as the role of institutions grew in our lives, events happened which shook their foundations, and people began to question their purpose and intentions. She tells the story of how trust in one system, healthcare in the United States, unraveled. And how it can be a lesson to all institutions.

Featuring Julian Appiah-Koduah of Jul's The Hair Klinik in Mitcham, and Dr Bayo-Curry Winchell, Family Medicine and Urgent Care Physician, Medical Director and Founder of Beyond Clinical Walls.

Distributed Trust

20240328

In Episode 4, Rachel charts the rise of the trust shift we've experienced in our own lifetimes: Distributed Trust. The kind of trust that used to be centralised in institutions, which is often hierarchical, and controlled, is now being distributed through networks and platforms. For better or worse, this shift is facilitating the sharing of trust across vast networks of people, on a scale that wasn't possible before.

Featuring Rikke Rosenlund, founder of Borrow My Doggy: an online platform that connects local owners with people who want to look after a dog.
