Generation STEM
Episode 1 (kind of??) - Entrepreneurship during COVID-19 + Innovation in Economic Downturns
We're starting a new chapter here on the podcast.......welcome to Generation STEM!
On this episode of the Generation STEM podcast, it's a new brand but the same old squad. As we currently are in a time of humanitarian and economic difficulty in the wake of COVID-19, it got us thinking....what companies have been created and thrived during previous times of economic downturn? How do times of difficulty drive innovation? How will COVID-19 impact future businesses and what innovations will come from it?
Becca, Kevin, and Ryan get together (via virtual meeting of course) to discuss:
-our new brand
-quarantine updates: how the hell are ya???
-how recessions have historically created some of the strongest businesses and why it's a great time to get your start up going
-A discussion of STEM companies and innovations created in three historic times of difficulty: The Great Depression/WWII, 9/11, and the Great Recession
-What start ups have been developed so far because of COVID-19/how have businesses evolved in response?
-How will COVID-19 impact the STEM industry
-A podium of our best COVID-19 driven start up ideas
