ABOUT APPALACHIAN STARTUP

Appalachian Startup is a podcast about entrepreneurs that began startup businesses in areas considered to be a bad investment.

The series launched in 2019 hosted by self-made business owner and videographer J.D. Belcher of McDowell County, West Virginia. Appalachian Startup is a biweekly podcast series that highlights entrepreneurs and how they built their successful businesses in rural communities. This show takes some of the mystery out of business basics. We talk about the initial beginnings of how these entrepreneurs raised the capital to start building their dream, and the process along the way of how they arrived at their current success.
