Episode 53 - Becca Wenning - Building an AI Startup from scratch

Becca Wenning didn’t move to Ohio to build a tech company.She came here thinking it would be temporary — and instead Mercer County became home. Coldwater became where she raised her three boys. A bridal shop became her proving ground. And a layoff became the moment that forced a bigger decision: play it safe… or build.In this episode, Becca shares how she went from owning a bridal shop to launching Dressit, a tech company blending weddings and AI. We talk about small-town entrepreneurship, identity, risk, parenting while building, and how artificial intelligence is quietly reshaping everyday businesses.This one is about reinvention — and what happens when the future shows up in a place you didn’t expect.
