Building A Trust Mindset: New Steps forward in a New Year
Welcome to Season 6 "Cultivating a Trust Mindset" series of The WEBB Remedy Podcast.
Meet "The WEBB Remedy" hosts:
- Stephanie Terry, Executive Director and Co-Founder of WEBB Squared
- Rinnie Orr, Associate Director and Co-Founder of WEBB Squared
At WEBB Squared, we’ve made “trust” the focal point of our theme this year: "With Trust, We Bridge the Gap; With Equity, We Move Forward." It’s a simple statement, but trust is not always as straightforward as it sounds. When it comes to building businesses, particularly for Black and Brown entrepreneurs, trust plays a pivotal role in overcoming systemic barriers — the kind that have been shaped by history, policy, and culture.
This season we share several conversations on trust. Trust is a mindset - and contrary to what people believe - trust is not some soft, elusive quality that you either have or you don’t. Trust - though it is easily destroyed, it can be built -it can be restored, and when that happens, not only do your relationships grow, so do opportunities and efficiency in terms of business. Trust is a tangible, actionable asset that you can create.
Today's conversation emphasizes:
- how trust is absolutely fundamental to our work at WEBB Squared
- how trust is impacted by historical context as well as the cycles of socialization
- how personal experiences of navigating the small business systems at a person of color can impact trust
- Impacts of distrust on small businesses
