The January 2021 issue of 225 is on stands now

When we choose 225‘s People to Watch each year, we usually look for individuals with big projects on the horizon or who might be shaping policy or impacting part of our community in a significant way. When considering this year’s list, we looked for another trait, too: People who know how to pivot. After all, it’s what everyone had to learn to do in 2020.

This year’s class includes a tech founder who is helping museums digitize their exhibits, and the owners of a telehealth company that has contributed to COVID-19 testing availability during the pandemic. From a restaurateur who’s found ways to thrive in the toughest of times to a developer who brought Baton Rouge its first shipping container park, each person in these pages was able to adapt to today’s challenges.

But they all seem to have one thing in common: They are taking 2020’s lessons and moving onward and upward into the future.

In the new issue of 225, we share what they have planned for a hopefully brighter 2021. In the January issue, you’ll also find stories on a new direction for LSU Gymnastics and plans for Mardi Gras in times of the coronavirus. Find it on print or digital newsstands now.
