[upbeat music] Welcome to The Learning Leader Show. I am your host, Ryan Hawk. Thank you so much for being here. Go to learningleader.com for show notes of this and all podcast episodes, go to learningleader.com. Now, on to tonight's featured leader. Jimmy Wales is the founder of Wikipedia, the world's largest encyclopedia and one of the most trusted websites on the planet, which started as a side project in 2001, has grown into a global phenomenon. 11 billion page views every month, edited by nearly 260,000 volunteers, and the only top 10 website run by a non-profit. Crazy. During our conversation, we discuss Jimmy's desire to give every person on the planet free access to the sum of all human knowledge. [chuckles] No big deal. Then we go into the seven rules of trust, and then Jimmy shares why it's worth it to lead with trust. You don't have to earn it. You got it, and why that mentality attracts the type of people that you wanna be around. Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy my conversation with Jimmy Wales.
