Episode notes
Attention Is Not Trust
- Attention and trust are different games; attracting followers is about attention while converting to revenue requires earning trust.
- Rory outlines a gap between viral content and dollars: many creators excel at attention but not at trust-building necessary for sales.

- Use the 1-1-1-1 Trust Framework: one trust grabber, one trust capture, one trust builder, one trust transfer.
- Example: a viral reel (grabber) → free audiobook lead magnet (capture) → live training (builder) → free call (transfer).
