In the April episode of Business Report’s Strictly Business series, a three-person panel discussed the topic of attracting and retaining young professionals in Baton Rouge. The panel consisted of Jeremy Beyt, co-founder and CCO of ThreeSixtyEight, Sabrina Galloway, Principal Strategist of The Galloway Group and COO of Ethics, and Amanda Martin, CEO of Studyville.
The panel touched on the city’s struggle with self-perception and economic barriers to attracting young professionals. They also explored how to cultivate a new generation of community leaders to drive initiatives forward.
Among the topics discussed was the development of the Better in BTR campaign by ThreeSixtyEight, which aims to showcase the opportunities and benefits of living and working in Baton Rouge. The panel emphasized the importance of local businesses and organizations working together to create a supportive environment for young professionals. They also highlighted the role of entrepreneurs like Amanda Martin in shaping the future of the city.
By addressing these issues and engaging with the community, the panel believes that Baton Rouge can become a more attractive and sustainable place for young professionals to build their careers and lives. Through collaboration and innovation, they hope to inspire the next generation of leaders to contribute to the growth and development of the city.
