Kathryn Minshew (featured in a YouTube video) discusses a recent "trust recession" — a period where consumers and investors held back spending and capital — noting it has made raising capital and selling more difficult. She reports signs that the trust recession is easing: buying sentiment and confidence are rising across multiple markets, which should make capital-raising easier going forward.

We've been in this trust recession is what people are calling it. You know, people just been holding onto their pocketbooks a little tighter. I don't know if you felt that in your businesses, but it just takes a lot more to get the capital raised that you would normally be able to raise or to sell anything, really. I think we're going to be coming out of that a lot more. We're seeing it. We're in multiple markets, so people's buying sentiment, their confidence is going up.
