Your host, Ryan Weiss, talks with the Global Credibility Expert of, Mitchell Levy. Ryan's journey began with a simple yet profound question: Why credibility? Mitchell's response was deeply personal. He traced his focus on credibility back to his childhood, specifically to the time when his parents divorced. This event led him to ponder the role and integrity of a father figure. For Mitchell, this early questioning of integrity laid the groundwork for his career.

Mitchell emphasized a staggering statistic: 98% of businesses lack clarity. Without clarity, credibility is unattainable. He offered an updated definition of credibility, which goes beyond the traditional notion of trust. In today's interconnected world, credibility encompasses being trusted, known, and liked.
