Some anniversaries just sneak up on you… 2 years ago today, #TrustworthyBook came out! 🎉 Here’s to the friends, reviews, and MANY lessons
…from #publichealth communication about a pandemic, in a pandemic? ✅
…on building trust even with AI, politics, and vulnerability? ✅
…on launching a virtual book tour before THAT was a thing? ✅
Thanks to all who boosted it, bought a copy, brought me in to speak with their teams, and wrote a review—wanna add yours here? https://a.co/d/4mHeWMO

If only they could arm him with a toothpick and pop him in the microwave so he might live to fight again!
