Designing for Trust: Inside the Privacy Economy
Update: 2025-09-03
Description
Do customers really value privacy—or will they trade it for a coupon code? In this episode of Marginally Better, Joe Taylor, Jr. unpacks the “privacy paradox” where 86% of people claim to care about data protection, but most will hand over personal details for even the smallest convenience. We’ll explore why privacy is becoming a luxury good, how small businesses are winning with trust-first strategies, and the economic realities behind “free” services. Plus, practical tactics for delivering user research that challenges leadership’s pet projects—without killing your career. It’s an eye-opening conversation about trust, transparency, and telling the truth in business.
