Transitions and New Beginnings — How we are "squaring" WEBB

Have you ever felt the pull to step into something new—even when it means leaving behind something you helped build?

In this episode of The WEBB Remedy Podcast, we’re diving into the beauty and challenge of transitions, growth, and new beginnings within the WEBB community. Co‑founder Stephanie Terry joins us to share her inspiring journey to amplify the mission and vision of  WEBB Squared through the launch of a new B-Corp WEBB KiDDZ -  a new venture rooted in the same mission of empowerment, equity, and community impact.

Together, Stephanie and Rinnie explore what it means to embrace change, honor legacy, and create space for fresh ideas to bloom. This conversation is about courage, creativity, and the power of trusting your next chapter.

So grab your coffee or favorite beverage, settle in, and join us for a heartfelt dialogue about transformation, purpose, and the next evolution of WEBB Squared and the launch of WEBB KiDDZ.

In this kickoff episode of The WEBB Remedy Podcast "Money Mindset Conversation Series", hosts Rinnie Orr and Stephanie Terry talk with Venus Myles, Senior Vice President and Carolinas Market Manager for PNC Community Development Banking, to explore how our beliefs about money shape the way we do business.

From pricing and hiring to investing and risk-taking, mindset plays a powerful role in all financial decision entrepreneurs make. Venus brings both practical banking expertise and deep community insight to help listeners move from fear to clarity — and from a scarcity to abundance mindset.

Together, they unpack what it means to build a healthy relationship with your banker, how to prepare for funding, and why mindset is just as important as money when it comes to business growth.

In This Episode:

• What “community development banking” really means — and how it supports entrepreneurs
• How scarcity thinking shows up in business decisions (and how to reframe it)
• Practical steps to prepare for funding and protect your business
• How PNC Bank supports entrepreneurs beyond capital — through education, partnerships, and community programs

About the Guest:

Venus works closely with small businesses to help deliver the financial solutions and resources they need to start, grow and scale their businesses.

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; Together, We Move Forward." It’s a simple statement, but trust is not always as straightforward as it sounds. When it comes to building businesses, 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:

• What is Trust?
• The Changing Landscape of Leadership
• The First Wave of Trust: Self-Trust
• The Importance of Integrity
• Humility and Courage in Trust Building

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.
