The WEBB Remedy Podcast is an entrepreneurial Mindset Shifting project of WEBB Squared "Wealth through Entrepreneurship for Black and Brown Businesses" a North Carolina non-profit. WEBB's mission is to redress the racial wealth gap and build generational wealth by providing incubator-accelerator services to Black and Brown businesses. As an incubator-accelerator, WEBB Squared specializes in supporting BIPOC entrepreneurs, aiding them in overcoming internal obstacles to tackle external challenges with greater efficacy and autonomy.
Through tailored coaching and innovative training, WEBB expedites this transformation, empowering entrepreneurs to develop their enterprises with confidence, resources, and influence, thereby effecting positive change within themselves, their businesses, and their communities.
The WEBB Remedy Podcast is hosted by Stephanie Terry and Rinnie Orr, the co-founders and directors of WEBB Squared. The podcast accompanies a weekly Monday Mindset reminder blog and email to the entrepreneurs in the WEBB program. We believe that "our evolution begins with dialogue" and we aim to discuss and model the sometimes difficult and vulnerable conversations around mindset growth and transformation.
