There’s no denying that the past few months have allowed us to really get our creative juices flowing (no pun intended). This was incredibly true for Isabella Abbate--founder and owner of Simply Bella’s Simple Syrups. Check out this Q&A we had with Isabella and find out more about her and all the fun behind Simply Bella’s. 

Academia meets entrepreneurship. No, I'm not talking about the mission of This Blonde Means Business (although I could be). I'm talking about the theme of this month's Student Story Feature of my talented and outstanding Drexel peer, Nina Kapoor, and her newest venture, KapTutor. I sat down to talk to her about her passion for education, starting KapTutor, and her business' future.

No one tells you what post-grad life is like. And, of course, no one tells you what post-grad life is like during a pandemic. Of course, I had to recognize the scale of what was going on in the country, and the world, and accept the fact that this move to online learning was the safest thing to do. But, as a 22-year-old, with only a few more weeks of college, THIS was the worst thing that could’ve happened.

The uncertainty of a global pandemic has affected so many in so many ways. For me, the theme of these times has been adaptability. We all, individuals and businesses, adapt around guidelines and restrictions that juxtapose "Business as usual." …because a global pandemic is anything but that.

How can you adopt adaptability to your career? How can you shift your business now to sustain it for a post-COVID economic landscape? Being adaptable isn't just a business strength; it's one that can improve our everyday lives.
