Make Money by Building Trust and Team Intelligence | John Levy
Manage episode 511835305 series 2890804
John Levy is a behavioral scientist specializing in trust, leadership, and human connection. He’s the author of the New York Times bestseller You’re Invited and his latest book Team Intelligence: How Brilliant Leaders Unlock Collective Genius. Over the last fifteen years, John has helped thousands of leaders—from Nobel laureates to Olympians—understand how to create meaningful relationships, build trust faster, and foster cultures where teams thrive together.
On this episode we talk about:
Why relationships and trust are the ultimate currency in business and life
The psychology of connection and why small acts build deep trust
How to avoid manipulation while using behavioral science for good
The difference between status and likability—and why likability always wins long-term
How emotionally intelligent teams unlock “collective genius” and outperform talent alone
Top 3 Takeaways
Trust isn’t gained by giving—it’s built when others invest effort in you.
True connection comes from benevolent intent, not manipulation—use psychology to serve, not to scheme.
High-performing teams succeed not because they have the smartest people, but because they have the most emotionally intelligent dynamics.
Notable Quotes
“We can’t buy relationships. The real question is—how do we get people to invest effort into us?”
“If I told people how I designed my events, would they feel manipulated or cared for? That’s the test.”
“The reason we follow someone is simple—they make us believe tomorrow will be better than today.”
