Who do people become when they're around you? Do they feel heard... valued... safe? Or do they leave feeling unseen? Whether you're leading a team, raising a family, supporting a friend, or simply having a conversation with someone you love, trust is the foundation of every healthy relationship. Yet it's something we often assume is there instead of intentionally building.

Today on Call IT in With Dar, I'm joined by leadership coach and People & Culture expert Shirley Sutton for a conversation about Building Trust at Work and Home. Shirley shares why trust isn't built through perfection or position—it's built through authenticity, consistency, and the way we show up every single day.

We'll explore how our identity shapes our relationships, why people remember how we make them feel, and how becoming more self-aware can transform not only the way others see us, but the way we see ourselves.

If you've ever wanted stronger relationships, deeper connection, and greater influence—whether at work or around your own kitchen table—this conversation is for you. Let's Call IT in With Dar!

Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered, "Why is it so much harder to lose weight than it used to be?" Maybe you've tried the diets... counted the calories... exercised faithfully... only to watch the scale refuse to budge. What if the problem isn't a lack of willpower? What if we've been asking the wrong question all along?

Today on Call IT in With Dar, I'm joined by Dr. William Summers, a physician with more than 36 years of experience helping people understand the science behind obesity. As a board-certified OB/GYN and medical weight management specialist, Dr. Summers believes it's time we stop blaming ourselves and start recognizing obesity for what it truly is—a complex medical condition influenced by biology, hormones, metabolism, and our modern environment.

In this myth-busting conversation, we'll explore why obesity has become one of the greatest health challenges of our time, what new research is revealing, how medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro are changing the conversation, and most importantly, why compassion and understanding are far more powerful than guilt and shame. Whether you're struggling with your own weight, supporting someone you love, or simply wanting to separate fact from fiction, this episode offers clarity, hope, and practical insight.

Let's come together for this important conversation about obesity! Call It in with Dar!
