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 examines:

  • research on trust, chemistry, and science through the study by Paul Zak in the Harvard Business Review The Neuroscience of Trust.  
  • key behaviors that create trust in our workplaces and businesses and how these behaviors influence performance, create bonds, and strengthen relationships.
