How Shame and Identity Intersect with Executive Performance with Teri Williams

Teri Williams, owner and COO of OneUnited Bank, an award-winning Community Development Financial Institution that helps underserved communities build financial strength through accessible banking, responsible lending, and investment.

Through OneUnited Bank, Teri has helped finance almost $1 billion in loans, largely within low to moderate income communities, while continuing a mission centred on economic empowerment and generational wealth.

Now, Teri’s journey from working in her great-grandmother’s penny candy store to earning degrees from Brown University and Harvard Business School demonstrates how our beginnings can become the foundation for extraordinary leadership.

And while navigating the beautifully chaotic demands of banking, innovation, and community responsibility, she is also creating conversations through her podcast, Who’s Your Ma Honey?, that transform hidden shame into identity, strength, and legacy.

Welcome to The Unforget Yourself Show where we use the power of woo and the proof of science to help you identify your blind spots, and get over your own bullshit so that you can do the fucking thing you ACTUALLY want to do!

We’re Mark and Katie, the founders of Unforget Yourself and the creators of the Unforget Yourself System and on this podcast, we’re here to share REAL conversations about what goes on inside the heart and minds of those brave and crazy enough to start their own business.

From the accidental entrepreneur to the laser-focused CEO, we find out how they got to where they are today, not by hearing the go-to story of their success, but talking about how we all have our own BS to deal with and it’s through facing ourselves that we find a way to do the fucking thing.

Along the way, we hope to show you that YOU are the most important asset in your business (and your life - duh!).

Being a business owner is tough! With vulnerability and humor, we get to the real story behind their success and show you that you’re not alone.
