If you're gonna be first, you're gonna take a risk. All the more so if you're going to market with a foreign concept.  People are creatures of habit. We look to the world we know to understand new concepts. And if something we're trying is unlike anything we've tried before…that can be a recipe for failure. Think of it this way: People who are remembered for being ahead of their time aren't usually remembered for being wildly successful. It's a contradiction in terms.  To illustrate: Imagine trying to explain yoga to a bunch of Cajuns in the 1980s.  Movement Yoga is so commonplace now, it's hard to fathom. But that's pretty much the story of Jerry Smith-Guidry, who was one of the very first people to teach yoga in Lafayette. A self-described “type A” personality, she discovered wellness and yoga in 1989 and fell in love. She went on to create the yoga program at Red Lerille's Health Club here in Lafayette.  Today, Jerry runs Acadiana Yoga & Wellness studio, which she founded in 2009. Acadiana Yoga offers a range of wellness services, including yoga classes, massage, reiki, pilates and more. It's also the only Yoga and Pilates mat certification in Lafayette.  Meat It's one thing when you're introducing something new, and another thing entirely to introduce something misunderstood. Like bologna. Yes, bologna. And if you're eating a slice of cajun smoked bologna made by Ross Brown, go ahead and get rid of any preconceived notion of how that sausage is made. This is Bougie Bologna — High grade stuff made from pork shoulder. 100% free of byproducts, mechanically separated meats, and the unmentionables you usually find in bologna with the first name O-S-C-A-R. Ross got into making bologna to convince his wife to like it. He learned the process from YouTube and started selling at a local bar — the Freetown Boom Boom Room in Lafayette. It caught on. And in 2022, Bougie Bologna was born. Ross quit his job offshore and has moved into bologna full time. Out to Lunch Acadiana was recorded live over lunch at Tsunami Sushi in downtown Lafayette.

Boyer shares his insightful and accurate thoughts on many of its major events, including training, nutrition and even the controversial 1980 and 1981 Mr. Olympia's.

Hannah Gumbo incorporates fun and whimsy into each of her artistic creations. Whether it is a 43 foot "Legacy Barn Mural" designed to tell the story of a beloved family member, a commissioned piece which captures the essence of Rodgers and Hammerstein's My Favorite Things, or illustrations for children's book, The Book That Wanted To Be Red written by Jerica Guillory, Hannah Gumbo's signature leaves a colorful imprint on beautifully designed art that is one of a kind. Darrell Smith, left, and Hannah Gumbo in front of the barn being painted by Gumbo at 1444 Highway 758 in Eunice LA. The 43-foot mural celebrates the life of the late Calvin Smith.

A Lafayette native, Hannah was homeschooled until she entered high school when she encountered visual art teacher, Kathy Reed, who she credits for inspiring her and many other Acadiana artists. Reed would take her students on field trips and invite area artists to come to school to share their passion for design. Hannah realized through Reed's example and nurturing that art and expression were paths worth pursuing. While she never thought she would "work" as an artist, she looked at art classes as a gift and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from UL - Lafayette with a concentration in painting & printmaking. And, 'art' is definitely her day job and passion! Hannah's work has evolved since she graduated and while she was trained to paint and draw, she joking said that her worst grade was in digital art. Ironically, today she incorporates digital art into most of her designs. Hannah uses a Wacom, which is akin to large iPad, and hops back and forth from sketches on paper and on the digital pen drawing tablet. The device allows Hannah to scale her drawings and try different colors as she works with her clients and tries out different colors and effects before finalizing the ultimate design. Hannah's desire is to make art fun and easy, more accessible, and less intimidating to people. She loves public art because it is available to all to enjoy. She tells people, "Don't worry about dissecting art intellectually....ask yourself, 'How do you feel about it?" Hannah Gumbo in front of the mural she painted on the Sides & Associates building in Downtown Lafayette. The work was commissioned by Downtown Development Authority and Sides. COVID has affected Hannah just as it has so many other artists experiencing the cancellation of so many festivals and outdoor markets. Yet this time has also afforded an opportunity to indulge herself with a "Passion Project." Inspired by 100 Day Projects of other artists, she created the "Sunday Hairies" and committed to create 100 watercolor and gel pen portraits of original and iconic hairstyles sported by celebrities. Sold on Etsy, she released seven new portraits each Sunday. Hannah Gumbo created the Sunday Hairies to create 100 original works illustrating iconic hairstyles of celebrities such as Colonel Sanders, Farrah Fawcett, and Red Lerille, which were sold on Etsy. Making a living as a freelance artist entails wearing a lot of hats, and Hannah has learned that one of the most important is communicating clearly when defining expectations of the end result. She's learned to clarify what the client is envisioning prior to completing the final product to ensure that everyone is happy at the end of the day when the project is complete. "The silver lining is that I really get to know people and bring their visions to life." Hannah Gumbo's work may be viewed at hannahgumbo.com. Hannah and her husband plan to travel more as they both work remotely from home. Her family instilled a love of travel and they have been in competition to see who could be the first to travel to all fifty states. While Hannah has been to 49 states, her parents beat her out about a month ago as they checked off travel to all 50 states! Rather than "work,

In an interview conducted in 2015, John Hansen interviews Bodybuilding Legend Boyer Coe about his amazing career in the sport. Boyer talks about how he started bodybuilding in his home town of Louisiana, competing as a teenage bodybuilder, winning the 1969 AAU Mr. America contest, competing in London at the NABBA Mr. Universe and his transition from competing in the NABBA organization to the IFBB. Boyer also talks about some of the great people he met in the sport of bodybuilding including Red Lerille, Bill Pearl, Arthur Jones, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Frank Zane. At the end of the Podcast, John reads an article from the February, 1977 issue of Muscle Builder/Power magazine called "The Charisma of Bodybuilding" written by Jack Neary. The article details a posing exhibition by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Robby Robinson in Canada in 1976.

If you ask Red Lerille about the best methods for staying in shape and in good health, you will hear one answer, over and over: Work out with weights! He knows what he's talking about; Red Lerille has been in the health club business since the early 1960's. Selected as Mr. America in 1960, prior to that, Red was the recipient of numerous other fitness awards which led to his dream of owning his own health club. He has dedicated his life to helping others achieve fitness in an iconic health club that makes changes every month. He's the epitome of health and has proven that aging can be slowed down, accidents can be overcome, and life is better when you work out with weights and take care of your body. Red Lerille was inspired to lift weights when he was in 7th grade.  His school teacher had been a submarine sailor who worked out with weights. Red became a friend of the family, and this teacher’s inspiration inspired him to join the Navy, go to submarine school, and to pursue weight competitions. Red's first competition took place when he was 14, in the Mr. New Orleans contest. At that competition, Red befriended Mike Stansbury from Lafayette whose friendship served as the catalyst for leading him to move to Lafayette when they crossed paths a few years later as Red's service in the Navy was winding down. Red believes in envisioning the accomplishment of his goals. This started for him at the age of 7 when he put up pictures of Mr. America on his bedroom wall. He told everyone that came to his house that he would be Mr. America one day. Red says it best, "Everything I’ve ever wanted in life, I put a picture on the wall and dared it not to show up!" This tool hasn't failed him, ever. On January 13, 1963, Red opened his first fitness club on Johnston St, where Dwight’s is currently located. In 1965 the club moved to its current location on Doucet Road and has been growing ever since. With a goal to make an improvement each month, Red oversees daily operations of his dream club which is now the largest and best in the South with approximately 13 – 16,000 members. By investing in the community, the community invests in Red. Beginning his workday at 2:30 a.m. by opening the club, Red has created a place that is a true melting pot of our community. Listening to Red's voice is better than reading this post! Please listen and check out his Health Club which is, hands down, the best health club in the South!
