In this episode, Adam Daigle, Business Editor of The Acadiana Advocate, returns to break down Lafayette and Acadiana's top five business stories of 2025. With years of experience tracking economic trends, major developments, and the people shaping our community, Adam offers an inside look at what's driving growth—and what challenges remain. From the long-awaited arrival of Trader Joe's to manufacturing growth, real estate trends, and the future of North Lafayette, this conversation is packed with insight. A Post-Covid Economy: Stabilizing but Still Shifting Adam notes that Acadiana has mostly returned to pre-pandemic normalcy, but some sectors continue to adjust: Restaurants: Sales are outpacing inflation overall, but performance is uneven. High-traffic corridors like Kaliste Saloom are thriving, while many locally-owned restaurants still struggle with tight margins, rising costs, and increased competition. Retail: Still strong—people are spending, and parish retail sales continue to grow. Manufacturing: One of the region's most promising economic bright spots. Well-paying jobs, steady growth, and diversification beyond oil and gas continue to strengthen the sector. Manufacturing Momentum—Even After Setbacks While Acadiana added thousands of manufacturing jobs since 2020, the closure of SafeSource Direct was a painful blow. The PPE manufacturer, built during the pandemic, couldn't compete with ultra-low-cost Chinese imports. The result: 700 local jobs lost, many held by women and graduates of drug court programs. Even so, Adam emphasizes that manufacturing remains a major growth engine. Companies continue to diversify away from oil and gas, and Louisiana's industrial corridor—from I-49 to Hwy 90—remains active and expanding. Real Estate & Housing Trends Adam continues to follow Lafayette's housing market closely: Higher-end homes that once sat on the market are now moving again. Sales volume is rising month-to-month. Rental demand remains extremely high, driven by population growth and a historic low in first-time homebuyers (just 21% nationally, with the average of a first-time homebuyer being 40 years of age nationally). Lafayette continues to see brisk apartment construction to meet demand. The market is tight—but not dangerously overbuilt. Adam Daigle's Top Five Business Stories of 2025 1. Trader Joe's Is (Finally) Coming to Lafayette The biggest story of the year: Trader Joe's is officially in the works for the corner of Bluebird Drive and Camellia Blvd. in Lafayette. Because the company is notoriously secretive, even the appearance of a permit created excitement. The land deal is expected to be finalized soon, with construction likely leading to an opening in late 2026 or early 2027. Fun fact: Lafayette will become one of only three cities in the U. S. that have both a Buc-ee's and a Trader Joe's. 2. Northgate Mall Sold to Local Investor Jacoby Landry North Lafayette's aging Northgate Mall has new life ahead. Entrepreneur Jacoby Landry purchased the property with a long-term vision for transforming the site—not simply filling it with retail, but creating a mixed-use redevelopment with potential for office, residential, and community uses. Jacoby is rebranding Northgate Mall as “The Hub,” inspired by Lafayette's nickname, Hub City, and the I-10/I-49 cloverleaf, which will be reflected in its new logo. The redevelopment will focus on mixed-use commerce, green spaces, and lighting to ensure safety and create a welcoming atmosphere. Years of deferred maintenance mean slow, steady work ahead, but the project is finally backed by a local owner committed to revitalization. The first major opening recently announced is Xtreme Health Club, a full-service fitness facility taking over the former Planet Fitness space. Owned and operated by Jacoby Landry’s sister, Rachel McCorvey, the facility will feature a nutritionist, weight management services, Botox, IV drips, sauna, hot tub, salt room, cold plunge, a health bar, and two indoor pickleball courts. Pilates and boxing fitness will also be offered, bringing Red's Health Club-like amenities to North Lafayette on a smaller, community-focused scale. It's expected to open in early 2026. 3. Buc-ee's Delayed… Again The massive travel center planned for I-10 is still happening, but Buc-ee's has pushed back construction. The company is re-evaluating store designs nationwide, impacting multiple projects—not just Lafayette's. The new projected opening is 2028. Even with delays, the development will be a major economic catalyst, generating hundreds of jobs and significant sales-tax revenue. 4. SafeSource Direct Closure One of the biggest economic losses of the year was the shutdown of SafeSource Direct's facilities in Broussard and Lafayette Parish. Global PPE competition, especially from China, made U.S. glove manufacturing unsustainable. Key impacts: 700 local jobs lost Loss of a major employer of graduates from local drug court programs Decrease in regional PPE manufacturing capacity 5. The Passing of Red Lerille Lafayette lost an icon with the death of Red Lerille, founder of Red Lerille's Health & Racquet Club and beloved community figure. Adam reflected on: Red's unmatched work ethic His legacy as Mr. America in his youth His lifelong devotion to improving Lafayette The enormous public response to stories about him Red's influence on local fitness, business, and civic life is irreplaceable. Yet, his family follows in his loving footsteps and Red Lerille’s Health Club will remain a bedrock of our local fitness community. Community Leaders to Watch: Mandi Mitchell of LEDA Adam highlights Mandi Mitchell, CEO of the Lafayette Economic Development Authority, as one of the region's most impactful leaders. “She’s got an incredible background working as an Assistant Secretary with the Louisiana Economic Development. It was a great grab to get her back here in Lafayette.” Her accomplishments include: Reviving the long-stalled Buc-ee's project Supporting the Northgate Mall redevelopment and mentoring owner Jacoby Landry to achieve great success Recruiting new business and manufacturing opportunities Expanding LEDA's role into urban planning and talent development Empowering local entrepreneurs through mentorship programs Mandi Mitchell’s philosophy that has inspired Adam Daigle and his favorite quote of the year: “If you want to change Lafayette, you have to build the people here to do it. The cavalry's not coming.” What's Ahead for 2026 Adam anticipates several big developments in the coming year: • Major Youngsville Mega-Development A massive mixed-use expansion planned south of Chemin Metairie—bigger than Sugar Mill Pond. • Continued Manufacturing Expansion Projects like First Solar's facility in New Iberia and partnerships with companies such as Noble Plastics will bring hundreds of new jobs and long-term growth. • New Downtown Hotel An 84-room boutique hotel breaking ground at the former Don's Seafood site—adding much-needed lodging to downtown Lafayette. • Drone Technology Hub Two drone companies, DMR Technologies and Drone Institute, LLC, are moving into the former Reptile Tannery Facility which was originally the L. A. Frey Meat packing plant building at 105 Dorset Avenue, positioning Lafayette as a future leader in drone manufacturing, training, and emergency-response tech. • Proposed Indoor Sports Complex A public–private partnership near the Cajundome and Cajun Field could bring a regional-scale sports facility to Lafayette, boosting tourism and event hosting. Restaurant Closures & Market Saturation Lafayette continues to lose 20–30 restaurants per year—a typical number, but Adam notes rising oversaturation and operating costs. Fast-casual and takeout remain strong, but dine-in restaurants face higher risk and shrinking margins. Even kitchen-ready restaurant spaces are sitting vacant longer than usual. Pinhook Road & Redevelopment Questions Despite frequent headlines about dilapidated hotels and blighted property, Adam does not expect major redevelopment along Pinhook Road in the short term. LCG is focusing instead on stabilizing the city's expanding “empty urban core,” particularly the Evangeline Thruway and Johnson Street corridor near UL Where to Read More from Adam Adam continues to document Acadiana's economic story through: The Acadiana Advocate The Advocate Business Newsletter Regular digital reporting at theadvocate.com You can subscribe to the Acadiana Advocate either digitally and/or print editions here.

The Trump Corollary: Reviving the Monroe Doctrine in Latin America: Colleague Ernesto Araújo discusses a new "Trump corollary" to the Monroe Doctrine reshaping U.S. policy in the Americas, signaling a more assertive stance against foreign influence and authoritarian regimes; this shift is evident in Venezuela, where President Maduro appears to be negotiating his exit in the face of U.S. pressure, while in Brazil the administration of Lula da Silva faces significant instability due to a massive banking scandal linking the government to money laundering and organized crime, with the new application of the Monroe Doctrine suggesting the U.S. will favor political figures aligned with its security strategy. 1952 CARACAS

Let's use this opportunity to appreciate the meaning of the Winter Solstice."Zh: 于是，整个队伍围坐在长城上，倾听着明华讲述关于冬至的传统故事。En: So, the entire team gathered on the Great Wall, listening to Minghua recount traditional stories about the Winter Solstice.Zh: 梅也安静地坐下，感受到一种前所未有的宁静。En: Mei also quietly sat down, experiencing an unprecedented sense of peace.Zh: 通过这些故事，她开始理解传统的重要性，而不仅仅是像以往那样视作宣传手段。En: Through these stories, she began to understand the importance of tradition, rather than merely viewing it as a promotional tool as before.Zh: 随着天空渐渐放晴，一种团结的气氛在队伍中蔓延开来。En: As the sky gradually cleared, a sense of unity spread among the team.Zh: 每个人都感受到了彼此之间的温暖与共同努力所带来的成就感。En: Everyone felt the warmth between each other and the sense of accomplishment brought by their joint efforts.Zh: 明华看着这一切，心中充满了对过往和未来的感激。En: Minghua looked at everything, filled with gratitude for the past and the future.Zh: 梅也意识到，尊重文化遗产有时比迎合商业需求更为重要。En: Mei also realized that respecting cultural heritage is sometimes more important than catering to commercial demands.Zh: 长城仍在那里，坚固而古老，仿佛也是在见证着这些深刻的改变。En: The Great Wall remained there, strong and ancient, seemingly witnessing these profound changes.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Bob of Speakers' Corner, one of Britain's most recognisable street preachers and Christian debaters, for a provocative conversation about faith, free speech, and the future of Britain's identity.Bob recounts how a Muslim once tried to convert him to Islam, an encounter that instead led him to Christianity and set him on a mission to defend the faith at London's Hyde Park, one of the last true bastions of free speech in the UK. He discusses the rise of Islamist intimidation at Speakers' Corner, from stabbings and arson attacks to police indifference and media silence, and why he believes Britain is now a post-free speech country.We explore Bob's vision of a Christian nation, his critique of liberal secularism, and his warning against both Islamism and ethno-nationalism, which he sees as twin dangers to the soul of Britain. He argues that only a return to Judeo-Christian values, the foundation of British law and morality, can rescue the country from cultural decay.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see the extended and ad free interview click here: https://open.substack.com/pub/winstonmarshall/p/confronting-islam-and-reviving-britains?r=18lfab&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:31 Bob of Speakers' Corner03:39 What is Speakers' Corner06:23 Challenges and Motives at Speakers' Corner 13:21 Bob's Conversion and Evangelism18:10 Christian Nationalism and Free Speech25:07 The Role of Christianity in Politics36:18 The Patriot Movement and Christianity50:38 The Importance of Judeo-Christian Tradition52:54 Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

Ross Wesley LeBaron played the role of eccentric prophet. The second oldest son of patriarch Alma Dayer LeBaron Sr., carved a distinct path in Utah. Ross founded the Church of the Firstborn. His teachings presented a unique fundamentalist cosmology focused on distributing sacred authority rather than concentrating it, emphasizing that “the honor is in the work, not the title.” https://youtu.be/fHYDKiaoZ5o Don't miss our other conversations with Jacob: https://gospeltangents.com/people/jacob-vidrine Copyright © 2025 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved Except for book reviews, no content may be reproduced without written permission Authority Above the Church: Dissemination vs. Concentration Ross LeBaron’s theology centered on the concept of a higher order of priesthood existing “above the [LDS] Church” structure. This authority, which he called the Patriarchal Priesthood, originated with the keys restored by Moses, Elias, and Elijah in the Kirtland Temple (D&C 110). This higher priesthood manifested in the Nauvoo period as the authority to make men “kings and priests” (and women “queens and priestesses”), often referred to as the fullness of the priesthood. Ross taught that this authority should be widely distributed among worthy men, acting as a check and balance against unrighteous leadership. He contrasted this view sharply with the prevailing fundamentalist models (like the Woolley line, which later split into FLDS and AUB) that focused on concentrating supreme authority either in a single presiding figure (the “one man rule”) or a small “Council of Seven”. Ross felt the stability of the priesthood lay in this dissemination of authority, allowing many men to hold the highest keys for their own families. Ross LeBaron’s Priesthood Claim Ross’s authority traced back to his grandfather, Benjamin F. Johnson, a close confidant of Joseph Smith and the last living original member of the Council of Fifty. Johnson claimed that Joseph Smith had authorized him to teach the principles of plural marriage, endowments, garments, and the Second Anointing “when I’m led to do so”. This unique claim bypassed Ross’s father (Benjamin Franklin LeBaron) and passed to his grandfather, Alma Dayer LeBaron Sr. (“Dayer”.) Ross received a patriarchal blessing and the “keys, rights, and authority of the patriarchal order of priesthood” from his father, Dayer, in 1950. Although Dayer died without naming a clear successor, leaving behind a succession crisis, Ross eventually received a revelation confirming that the patriarchal priesthood he held was the fullness of the Melchizedek Priesthood. He subsequently concluded that, as Joseph Smith’s birthright, he was the “one anointed and appointed” referenced in D&C 132:73. Eccentric Prophet's Ministry &  the Second Anointing Ross’s ministry in Utah often relied on eccentric methods to gain public notice. He spent over 20 years on radio shows (like KSXX) attempting to be controversial or “silly” (clowning around) to draw attention before sharing his message, mirroring unusual methods sometimes used by Old Testament prophets. A crucial element of Ross’s authority was the belief that the patriarchal keys authorized him to perform temple ordinances, including the Second Anointing. Reviving the Second Anointing: Ross and his early follower, Robert Eaby (a former scribe for the AUB Council and participant in Musser’s School of the Prophets), became pioneers in researching and restoring the Second Anointing outside of the LDS Church. Robert Eaby, who had learned about the ordinance through connections to early prayer circles, was able to assist in administering the endowments and then the Second Anointing, making them the first fundamentalists known to perform the ordinance (circa 1967/1968). Historical Context: This revival occurred during a period when the ordinance was largely discontinued within the mainstream LDS Church, having been generally halted by Heber J. Grant in the late 1920s and not widely performed again until it was revived by Spencer W. Kimball in the 1970s. Ross also stressed individual accountability and agency. When a follower sought revelatory guidance from him regarding a major life decision, Ross challenged him: “Why are you afraid of taking responsibility for yourself? Don’t your knees work? Go to God yourself and get revelation for yourself.” This focus on the individual patriarch holding authority for their own family underscored Ross’s belief that while leaders were fallible, the highest order of priesthood could and should be accessed by all worthy individuals.

The African savannas once echoed with herds of graceful antelopes—species perfectly adapted to life in some of the harshest landscapes on Earth. Among them, the Beisa oryx stands out as a symbol of resilience, yet today it faces growing threats from habitat loss, poaching, and human expansion. In this episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, we explore the inspiring story of oryx conservation and rewilding efforts that are giving this striking desert antelope a second chance. Joining us on this episode is the Save Beissa Oryx Community Trust.Our guest shares insights into the ongoing work to restore beisa oryx populations across East Africa, particularly in Kenya, Ethiopia, and northern Tanzania, where community-led initiatives are transforming degraded landscapes into thriving habitats. Once driven to near-extinction in many parts of its range, the beisa oryx is now a beacon of what community conservation and science-based rewilding can achieve when local people, governments, and conservation organizations work together.The discussion delves into how rewilding oryxs serves as a powerful tool for biodiversity conservation, helping to restore the ecological balance of savanna ecosystems. By reintroducing oryxes into protected landscapes, conservationists are not only reviving a species but also revitalizing entire food webs that depend on large herbivores. The Beisa oryx, with its striking black-and-white facial markings and long, straight horns, plays a key role in shaping grassland dynamics, dispersing seeds, and maintaining healthy vegetation.Listeners will also learn how community conservation models are making this success possible. From the conservancies of northern Kenya to collaborative management zones across the Horn of Africa, local communities are leading the charge—monitoring wildlife, reducing poaching, and promoting coexistence with antelopes and other large mammals. By linking livelihood benefits to conservation outcomes, these programs are redefining what it means to protect wildlife in the 21st century.The episode also explores how rewilding efforts for the beisa oryx tie into larger continental and global biodiversity goals. As African nations implement ecosystem restoration targets under the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, projects like oryx rewilding highlight the power of combining indigenous knowledge, modern ecological science, and grassroots participation. Beyond simply bringing back a species, rewilding aims to rebuild functional ecosystems where antelope species like the oryx can once again roam freely across their historical range.In this thought-provoking conversation, we discuss the challenges ahead: securing enough land for expanding populations, mitigating conflicts with livestock herders, and addressing the pressures of climate change. Yet, amid these challenges lies hope—the sight of newly reintroduced beisa oryxes galloping across restored savannas is proof that conservation can turn back the clock of extinction.Ultimately, this episode is a celebration of resilience—of the oryx, of the communities that protect it, and of the collective belief that conservation is not just about saving wildlife, but about sustaining the ecosystems and cultures that depend on them.Join us as we journey into the heart of oryx conservation, learning how science, storytelling, and community action are uniting to rewild Africa's landscapes. Discover how each reintroduced antelope represents a step toward restoring the continent's wild beauty—and a vision of coexistence where people and wildlife thrive together.About the HostAnish Banerjee is an early career ecologist, with a MSc in Ecology, Evolution and Conservation from Imperial College London.

Across continents and generations, the art of weaving has connected humans for thousands of years. But it's dying out. Ella Al-Shamahi speaks to two women from The Netherlands and Turkey about their passion for preserving the traditional craft.Turkish social entrepreneur Damla Saydam founded Qirqit Studio to help preserve the endangered tradition of handwoven Turkish rugs. She was inspired by her family's weaving heritage and memories of helping her aunt weave as a child. Damla collaborates with village women, many of whom have been weaving for decades and otherwise would have stopped, to ensure they receive fair wages and recognition for their craft.Erna Janine from The Netherlands runs Freeweaver Studio in London, driven by her love of sustainable fashion and enthusiasm to share the joy of weaving with others. Both her grandmothers inspired her love of the craft: one was a shepherd who processed her own wool and the other was one of the last women in Holland to wear traditional costume.Produced by Emily Naylor(Image: (L) Damla Saydam courtesy Damla Saydam.

In a world dominated by clicks, funnels, and automation, is it possible we've lost the human touch?

Let me know your thoughts on the show and what topic you would like me to discuss next.The quiet ache of a cold marriage rarely starts in the bedroom. It starts when a man trades identity for titles, chases approval, and forgets how to lead himself. We sit down with Ralph Brewer—best-selling author of The Dead Bedroom Fix and founder of Help For Men—to cut through noise and name what actually rebuilds connection: self-worth, boundaries, and a steady, values-led presence.Ralph shares his own rock-bottom divorce story and the years-long rebuild that followed, then maps the most common patterns he sees in men: anxious attachment, Nice Guy tendencies, and a belief that effort alone earns intimacy. We break down why the honeymoon fades, why scorekeeping kills desire, and how leadership works without macho bluster—making decisions, setting tone, and responding to feedback without getting defensive. You'll hear why “get jacked and she'll want you” is a half-truth at best, and why deep work on identity beats cosmetic fixes every time.If you've felt like a stranger in your own home, this is a clear path forward. Define your values beyond titles. Lead yourself daily. Build alliances that keep you honest. From there, intimacy—emotional and physical—has a chance to grow again, or you'll find the strength for a clean break with your self-respect intact.Key moments in this episode:02:02 Guest Introduction: Ralph Brewer 06:36 Understanding the Dead Bedroom Phenomenon15:02 Addressing Childhood Influences on Adult Relationships20:54 The Importance of Men's Work23:34 Understanding Men's Ignorance and Codependency27:52 The Role of Community in Men's Healing32:37 The Never-Ending Process of Healing34:26 The Power of Community and Mentorship37:47 Final Thoughts and Call to ActionHow to reach Ralph:Website: https://helpformen.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/realhelpformen/IG: https://www.instagram.com/realhelpformenYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@realhelpformenPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/help-for-men/id1759966446Gifts: https://helpformen.com/revolutionarymanSupport the showThanks for listening to the Revolutionary Man Podcast.

Abianne Falla used to see the native holly shrub as a pesky invasive on her family's Texas land, until the 2011 drought highlighted its resilience: it was the sole green survivor. Yaupon (Ilex vomitoria) is North America's only caffeinated plant, though its roots as a ceremonial brew in Gulf Coast indigenous societies have been suppressed by colonial forces and lost to commercialization. As a member of the Chickasaw Nation, Abianne became interested in yaupon and crafted a variety of flavor profiles in her home roasting experiments, which she grew into her company, CatSpring Yaupon.  Abianne harnesses yaupon for regeneration, harvesting on 500 acres while restoring degraded grasslands, boosting biodiversity by 70% and soil carbon by 7%, and fostering balanced ecosystems through grazing. Abianne's organic, wild-harvested model turns a 20-million-acre nuisance into sustainable income and regenerative opportunities. In this episode, John and Abianne discuss: Yaupon's drought resilience and its takeover of Texas savannas. Its balanced caffeine mix for crash-free, joyful energy, plus anti-inflammatory benefits. Reviving indigenous traditions with cultural care in branding. Turning "weeds" like yaupon or kudzu into crops via history, AI, and observation. Building a new category from markets to multi-channel sales. The market potential for local, climate-resilient caffeine amid global shifts.
