A Spark With Matt Abrams, Part II

About this episode

A civic assembly that measurably rebuilt trust inside a representative group drawn from a polarized county cost roughly $300,000 and a year of groundwork led by a retired colonel. A visitor from Silicon Valley looked at it and asked how to get it cheaper. Part II is Matt Abrams's answer, and his diagnosis: the trust crisis is not a moral failing but a funding model, in which the solutions that break trust get capital and the ones that repair it get porridge. He explains what $1 Billion for Trust is building instead, and why nobody involved gets to be the hero.
