In this episode of The Metamorphosis Moment, host Nancie McDonnell Ruder sits down with Joseph Kerwin, Chief Marketing Officer at Lendistry, for a conversation about trust, credibility and what it really takes to build belief at scale.
Drawing on his experience across finance, fintech and commercial lending, Joe shares why trust is not built through messaging alone. It is earned through consistency, transparency and delivery. He reflects on how marketing becomes most powerful when it is deeply aligned with the business, close to the customer and rooted in proof rather than polish.
The conversation explores storytelling as translation rather than hype, the responsibility marketers carry in regulated, high-stakes environments and how nontraditional career paths can sharpen leadership perspective. Joe also offers insight into leading through growth and crisis and why credibility is one of the most valuable currencies a brand can hold.
