In this episode of Our Communiversity Today, Dr. T. Ramon Stuart welcomes Noah Kapp, a Northern Virginia native turned southern West Virginia entrepreneur. Now a longtime resident of Beckley, Kapp shares how his roots in the fast-paced Washington, D.C. metro area contrast with the small-town values and close-knit relationships he has grown to love in Appalachia.
Through a candid conversation, Kapp explains how his journey from a WVU biology major to a successful business owner was shaped by education, marriage, and a decision to build a life in the region rather than leave it.
The discussion turns to what it takes to start and sustain a business in a small market, and why he believes the opportunity here is underrated.
