Editor’s Spotlight It is hard to believe that we are into the last few weeks of 2021 and what has been another difficult year for most businesses because of the pandemic however entrepreneurs are finding new and innovative ways to keep their busi - nesses open and for getting their products and services into the hands of their customers. With the help of organizations like Lewis County Economic Devel - opment, businesses are not only surviving, but they are growing and expand - ing in these difficult economic conditions. We chat with Brittany Davis, Jenna Kraeger and Cheyenne Steria of the Lewis County Economic Development team to find out why Lewis County, which is nestled in the scenic Black River Valley region of Northern New York, has been the natural choice for doing business for well over 200 years, and what the LCED Team and its partners are doing to keep it thriving for another 200 years. The launch of Helia Capital is incredibly timely, considering the recent influx of start-ups, entrepreneurial innovations, and businesses the world has seen, during the current pandemic. Many are seeking to bring their venture to the next level, and the Canadian patient-capital firm is hoping to foster long-term relationships with purpose-driven businesses seeking full-proof expertise and advice, on how to grow their business sustainably and successfully, now and for the future. Tara Slone is in the spotlight this month as we had the opportunity to chat with her before she hit the road for this season of Rogers Hometown Hockey to talk about her professional journey. Spoiler alert, no one is more surprised than Slone herself about where her career path has taken her, and she is excited at what the future holds and the opportunities that are out their. As we end another year, it is time for reflection to keep us focused on our personal and professional growth. So, we thought it would be great to look at how de-cluttering your workspace could help grow your business. Plus, with the holiday season now here, it is important to remember that we all have different ways of celebrating the season, and for some, their personal reflec - tion might involve making a few life changes as we head into a new year, so Lee-Anne Richardson of Sober City gives us seven tips for staying sober during the holidays. As always, we want to thank everyone that made this issue possible, and we look forward to sharing more stories about successful businesses and brands, while spotlighting the people behind making it all happen as we close off 2021 and head into 2022.
