What happens when a multimillion‑dollar research partnership collapses overnight?

In this week’s Win Via Trust leadership podcast episode, Michael Rabinowitz sits down with Pamela “Pam” Demain, CEO of Prokaryotics, for a sharp, grounded conversation on how trust becomes a true leadership advantage in biotech and beyond.

How does a franchise win trust in a crowded fitness market?

In this Win Via Trust leadership podcast episode, I talk with Eric Rothstein, former pharma marketer turned Spenga Springhouse franchise owner, about the one thing that keeps members coming back: trust built through consistent delivery.

Eric breaks down how his franchise earns that trust withpersonalized coaching, clear outcomes, and zero surprises, driving attrition far below typical gyms. He shares the retention moves that matter—transparency, helping members define their “why,” and using change‑managementprinciples to turn good intentions into lasting habits.

We also get into how he measures trust through NPS,attendance patterns, real conversations, and social proof, and how he adapts communication across a diverse team while keeping feedback flowing during constant change.

Watch for a sharp look at how a franchise owner turns trust into a competitive edge.
