Building a good reputation is very difficult.
Destroying it is very easy.
Recovering it is almost impossible.

Been there, done that. Did restore it, eventually. Easier to do things properly from day one.
This was a business, not my personal reputation (thats always been rotten 🤣🤣🤣)
Nowadays people are destroyed with sound bites. No wonder most are anonymous here.
What do you mean?
People can have a career full of good character, meaning, and wisdom, but someone that wants to destroy their reputation will find clips and sounds bites that are out of context to make them look bad. We live in a time when people often shape their opinions based on short disjointed clips. I think that's why watching full length podcasts became so popular, because you actually get to really know the people.
