How to Build Trust and Expose Stupid Scams

Come get your tickets to the show, folks!

In this episode of Grossly Competent, Steve and Patrick reprise their original discussion of building trust in training from Episode 2 ('Never Let Go, Jack') and expanding it around building trust as a new employee or recipient of a new role. Between the two of them, there are enough synapses firing to at least achieve some solid ideas.

Before that, Steve decides to take the low-road and introduce the world's worst LinkedIn InMail scam he was the recipient of and does some light doxxing along the way. And finally, Patrick helps introduce some of the wonderful events you can expect at UggFest 2026* that are sure to delight and amaze for one low-price.

(*This is not an actual event but Steve and Patrick will gladly pretend it is.)

Oh, and come check out Innovation Overload and tell them Steve says 'Hi!'
