Any activities that involve associations between people require that there be an acceptable level of trust. The ability to make accurate assessments about the reliability of others will determine, over time, how trustworthy they are. While it takes a long time to build trust, it takes even longer if trust is lost.
This book is designed to aid in building and maintaining healthy relationships. In doing this, we investigate several ways that trust is betrayed.

Nathan W. McKie Sr. brings a rich experience in dealing with people in various career and personal environments. His father had him selling light bulbs door-to-door, which exposed him to the challenges of cold-call selling. He worked beside farmhands and was very active in the 4-H Club, even winning a national contest. In college, he worked as a camp counselor and sold formal favors to sororities and fraternities. After graduating college, he went into the air force and completed a four-year stint, reaching the rank of captain and receiving the Air Force Commendation Medal.In 2016, after a career of entrepreneurial ventures, corporate managerial positions, and volunteer service, he founded a nonprofit venture designed to foster social entrepreneurship. By creating solid relationships and building trust, it is believed that a sense of community can be achieved in urban and rural settings. The Dignity of Profit: Creating Community through Entrepreneurship (2018) and The Dignity of Service: The Power of Social Entrepreneurship (2020) were published in order to inform readers about this project and to encourage them to become involved in making a difference.
