Entrepreneur Minute – James Chappell, SCbio
November 4, 2026
The Who’s on the Move Entrepreneur Minute is an interview series exploring how South Carolina businesses and organizations are innovating to stay competitive in a rapidly changing world. Each episode features leaders from a wide range of industries—including private companies, nonprofits, education, healthcare and manufacturing—who are embracing new ideas, technologies and strategies to drive growth and create lasting impact. In 2026, innovation is no longer optional. Organizations that fail to adapt risk becoming irrelevant, while those that innovate are shaping the future of their industries and communities.
We would like to thank our sponsors of this video series:
