Cherry season is almost upon us, so we thought we'd revisit our cherry episode from last year. Enjoy

I've always been someone who puts weight on around my middle. When I was younger I automatically assumed that I would be a victim of the classic middle aged spread. Luckily that isn't what happened. One of the surprising side benefits of learning to listen to my body is that my waistline stopped being the problem it used to be. I actually have a (mostly) flat stomach even thought I'm a 53 1/2 year old food lover. And I want that for you too.

Épisode 1445 : Le niveau de méfiance envers le marketing d'influence n'a jamais été aussi élevé. C'est simple : on y croit plus.Mais l'histoire ne s'arrête pas là. Derrière la crise de confiance se dessine une mutation du rôle des créateurs, et de la manière dont les marques doivent travailler l'influence.Newsletter Linkedin : le hack qui fait du bien à ta portée—Le reach est en chute libre sur LinkedinLinkedIn a réduit la portée organique d'environ 40 à 60% depuis le pic de 2023, donc “poster plus” ne suffit plus.Les contenus qui marchent le mieux restent les formats textuels longs, bien nichés, avec un angle d'expertise clair.-La newsletter Linkedin est une solution.A quoi ça ressemble une newsletter Linkedin ?Une newsletter LinkedIn ressemble à un “article long” hébergé sur LinkedIn, avec un habillage dédié de newsletter autour.En haut : un titre fort, une image de couverture (visuel 1200x628 env.), le nom de la newsletter, ta photo/logo et la date de publication.En dessous : le corps de l'article mis en forme (titres H2/H3, paragraphes, listes, images, vidéos, embeds, liens). C'est vraiment l'équivalent d'un article de blog natif LinkedIn.-2 endroits pour créer sa newsletter : sur le profil perso ou sur la page marque.Que choisir ?Profil perso : impact et reachL'algorithme privilégie les contenus publiés par des personnes, donc une newsletter portée par un profil voit en général plus de vues, de réactions et de clics.Idéal pour faire da leadership, les prises de position, la narration en “je” et tout ce qui construit ta marque perso (fondateur, expert, host de podcast).Page marque : actif d'entrepriseLa newsletter dans page marque sert surtout à installer la crédibilité de l'entreprise. C'est un actif de marque.Le gros interêt réside dans le fait qu'on peut la travailler en équipe (rédac à plusieurs mains, passage de relai).—Quelques exemples de newsletter de marques sur LinkedinSalesforce avec “Do more with AI” : newsletter LinkedIn très suivie autour de la productivité et de l'IA appliquée au business.https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7079504890934263808/2,1 Millions d'abonnés à la newsletter.La Poste (groupe La Poste) : “La lettre du groupe La Poste”, lancée à VivaTech, propose un condensé régulier de l'actualité du groupe.

D'oursins de Gaspésie en canard en conserve, de radis au levain, en latkès transgénérationels, il souffle sur la gastronomie montréalaise un vent nouveau, et inspiré, qui transporte avec lui fièrement son terroir et son histoire. Montréal est une ville que l'on visite aussi pour la goûter, elle se détache et s'affranchit du répertoire classique et des codes en mitonnant des produits québécois peu commun et encore peu connus, y compris au Québec.  La mer, la terre, le fleuve St Laurent, les forêts sont son vivier, le levain côtoie le sous vide, version originale : la conserve, le plaisir de recevoir en prime.Il est sans doute dans cet art-là, celui de recevoir, d'accueillir, qui différencie Montréal, le Québec : la gastronomie est unique, autant dans la salle à manger qu'aux fourneaux, c'est un tout, une identité. Un endroit où se retrouver, dans lequel les gens du quartier se reconnaissent, peuvent s'y attabler, un lieu de vie comme on les aime. Un équilibre que les montréalais espèrent d'ailleurs préserver, une fois les premières étoiles et les premières sélections québécoises du Michelin annoncée, en avril 2025.

At first Chappina's business began as a mobile oyster truck, offering fresh oysters shucked on-site as catered events and private parties. As his business grew, Chappina expanded into a brick and mortar location in Maplewood, NJ which opened this past October. With his new venue, Chappina now offers a larger menu selection along with a concierge service from Lum's Cellars for wine and beer.
