In the podcast segment, Shawn Zajas and Dr. Allison House discuss leadership lessons from the TV show “Ted Lasso,” focusing on building trust and fostering a positive culture. Dr. House shares how the show’s emphasis on relationships and sacrifice among team members resonates with her, even though she’s not a soccer fan. The conversation revolves around the concept of “microtransactions” that contribute to building trust and respect within teams and relationships.

Dr. House emphasizes the importance of authenticity in leadership and team dynamics. She highlights moments from the show where characters demonstrate trust and support for each other, even when there’s no direct benefit. This kind of culture is desirable both in professional environments, like a dental office, and in personal life. Shawn Zajas adds that being transparent about struggles and inconsistencies can also contribute to building trust, as long as it aligns with one’s true self.

The discussion extends to how being genuine and transparent can impact online presence and marketing efforts. The hosts acknowledge the challenge of maintaining authenticity while creating a professional brand. They stress the importance of sharing one’s journey and being true to oneself, even in the digital space.

Dr. House recalls a period when she struggled with building trust within her dental practice during the first 10 years. She admits that her lack of confidence led to a lack of transparency and sharing expectations, resulting in strained relationships. Shawn Zajas relates by sharing how he felt pressured to project a certain image of himself as a visionary entrepreneur, leading to inauthentic interactions with his team.

The hosts list various ways trust can erode, including dishonesty, inappropriate actions, and failing to acknowledge mistakes. They emphasize the importance of ethical behavior and owning up to errors to build and maintain trust.

The conversation closes with insights on the significance of microtransactions and how they contribute to a culture of trust. Dr. House advises reflecting on past actions and recognizing moments that built trust, as well as being vigilant about avoiding actions that can erode it. The hosts agree that trust-building extends to all areas of life, influencing relationships with teams, colleagues, family, and even personal behavior with grandparents.

In conclusion, the podcast segment explores the value of authenticity, transparency, and ethical behavior in building trust within teams and relationships, drawing inspiration from the lessons found in the TV show “Ted Lasso.”
