This is a YouTube video titled "Ep#28: How Great Founders Build Trust: The Advantage You Can’t Fake - David Homan #shorts #startup" created in August 2025. The excerpt features Andy Walsh speaking about the importance of confidence, honesty, and trustworthiness among founders and in building networks, emphasizing how people invest in those who are genuine about their status and progress.

Everyone who puts relations first, who focuses on being proud of what they've done, not arrogant, but just confident in it. People invest in people, they invest in confidence and they, in the world of founders and mental health, they invest in the people they believe will be honest about where they are, as opposed to hide it. And that's a commonality I've seen across meeting tens of thousands of people and consolidating the best so far, 20, 100, into the networks that I've built. Because everything I found was that when we can see people lying to themselves, we're pretty sure they're going to be lying to us by default, whether they intend to or not.
