Your clients already know you're using AI. The question is: do they trust you with it? This week, I sat down with Vinnie Fisher, founder and CEO of SiteTrust, a former M&A attorney with a 26-year career, and a leader who has built and exited three 7-to-8-figure companies generating over $400 million in sales. Vinnie isn't theorizing about the AI trust crisis. He's building the solution to it. What started as a simple transparency watermark on an AI ad turned into one of the most clicked elements on his clients' websites. The result? Higher conversions, stronger engagement, and a certifiable competitive advantage, not because they added AI, but because they disclosed it. In this conversation, Vinnie breaks down the four pillars of responsible AI adoption: disclosure, legal compliance, governance, and workforce clarity, and why AI trust transparency isn't a compliance checkbox; it's your next growth lever. If you're scaling a digital agency and using AI in your client delivery, your operations, or your marketing, this episode will challenge how you think about integrity, adoption, and what your clients actually need to stay loyal.
