I've recently been in discussions with various people about some potential business deals that are potentially quite lucrative.

Without going into too much detail, one of these particular arrangements requires a great deal of trust on both sides. So when I was talking about it with the powers that be, they asked me directly, "How can we be sure we can trust you?"

In so many words, I replied, "Because stealing is against my religion, and I'm pretty serious about my religion."

That seemed to put the person's mind at ease. 

I personally don't want to do business with people I don't trust, and if taking something that isn't mine means I lose out on a big deal, I'd just as soon take the momentary loss in exchange for the long-term gain.

And I've got enough to discuss with my priest at the moment; it's not like I need more.

Basic honesty is really what keeps the world turning. It is what has kept me able to make a living in the podcasting business. There's nothing more important to me than that my clients trust me; and I of course expect them to be fair and honest with me in return.

If you're thinking of getting into podcasting, or know of someone who is, then keep this URL in mind. I'm always looking for someone who's motivated, has a message to share with the world, and is willing to do the hard and honest work needed to get the job done :)
