About the Guest:
Clay Moffat is a former Navy weapons technician turned behavioral coach who teaches high performers how to reclaim their power and stop betraying themselves. As the author of The Trust Trap, he specializes in the neuroscience of trust, the psychology of self-sabotage, and pattern recognition. From losing his vision to building a 7-figure coaching business—and then losing it all—Clay's story is a masterclass in radical responsibility.
Key Takeaways:
-
Trust is a strategy, not a personality trait—it must evolve with changing circumstances.
-
Betrayal often begins with self-betrayal and ignoring red flags due to “pattern blindness.”
-
Outsourcing sanity—whether to a coach, boss, or social media quote—erodes your internal authority.
-
Entrepreneurs fall for betrayal when they prioritize outcomes over alignment and instincts.
-
Audit patterns, not people—trust should be a filter, not a reward.
