Welcome to episode 550 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, we are sharing a replay of our December Live Q&A from within the Food Blogger Pro membership — our annual Ask Bjork Anything session. ----- Every month within the Food Blogger Pro membership we host a Live Q&A for our members to attend. For most of these Q&As we welcome Food Blogger Pro Experts — people like Casey Markee, Andrew Wilder, and Allea Grummert — to answer questions based around their expertise. But every December we like to host an 'Ask Bjork Anything' to answer a wide range of questions from members! We wanted to share an edited version of the Q&A with our podcast listeners over our holiday break so that you could get a taste of what the Q&As are like in the membership and learn from all of the great questions our members asked! Happy Holidays! Here's a quick overview of the questions answered during the episode: Can you please refer a good SEO audit person for a small and newish blogger? What are best practices for URL slug? should you have the word recipe in them or does it not matter? I'm currently at 800k–900k page views/month in the high holiday season (usually 650k–800k throughout the year)- what do you recommend to push the site traffic to over 1 million page views/month as the baseline in even lower traffic seasons? After a hiatus from posting on my blog I'm wondering what are one or two things I should do that are the most important moving into 2026 for growth. Do you have any tips for Facebook? I see really little engagement on my posts and I'm wondering if it's worth it or not. Any suggestions for getting more comfortable on camera? I'm trying to film more videos/Reels and it's so hard! What is Pinch of Yum focusing on for 2026? Are you changing any strategies because of AI search? For someone starting this year, what would you prioritize? Social media? SEO? Newsletters? When should I start thinking about monetization? Is it still worth diving into onsite ads? What are some best practices for growing my email list? Is it still worth it to post on Pinterest with the rise of AI slop? Lately i've had a lot of spam ad comments on blog posts. I have to delete them and it's getting to be time consuming. I have the control to approve or delete the comments so the are not showing up on the blog thank goodness. How do you prevent these?! Is this a commen problem? I'm starting to notice the same issue with newletter signups. I'm curious how Pinch of Yum plans their content far enough ahead to thoroughly test recipes before publishing. How far in advance do they plan their editorial calendar, and how much time do they usually spend testing each recipe? If I want to run a food blog that focuses less on recipes and more on how to cook or how to use recipes in practical ways, how should I attract an audience, and how can I still use recipes to promote my work? How niche does one need to go these days? For example, I am in the toddler nutrition space, obviously very challenging to compete with the sites like yummy toddler food… do I need to go even further niche? I am a dietitian so I try and bring in that lens around supportive feeding and nutrition in the recipes/meals I create… but curious if I need to go further niched down If I want to shift my recipe blog into more of a "business hub" and focus on digital products rather than relying mainly on recipes and ad revenue, how would you approach that transition? I recently started a YouTube channel (thanks to your advice!), but I haven't monetized either my blog or YouTube yet. What would be the most strategic steps to move forward? Resources: ChatGPT Vs.

What does it take to lead a thriving church in one of America's most unchurched cities? Brenden Brown, pastor of Heirs Church in San Francisco, shares his journey of 29 venues in 8 years, navigating a gracious transition from Hillsong, and learning that our identity as sons and daughters transforms how we do ministry.Brenden's stories—from giving away his jacket to a stranger in Trader Joe's to divine Uber conversations—reveal what happens when leaders tune into the Holy Spirit and see people with God's eyes. He discusses the challenges of post-Christian contexts, the mobilizing power of personal story, and why leading from identity rather than duty changes everything.Whether you're in a hard place or a thriving season, this conversation will remind you why knowing who you are shapes how you lead and serve.Ready for more encouragement in your leadership?

In this edition of the Courage Brands Spotlight, Ryan, Billy Collins, and Kimberly Voorhis unpack three brands that turned overlooked moments into loyal movements. Ryan kicks things off with Goldbelly, the mail-order marketplace delivering regional food favorites nationwide—think deep-dish from Chicago or crab cakes from Maryland. Kimberly sings the praises of Trader Joe's, a grocery chain that proves simplicity is courageous, where decision fatigue fades, handwritten signs spark delight, and hidden monkeys keep kids smiling. Billy closes with Scrub Daddy, the Shark Tank sponge that scrubbed away boredom and built a half-billion-dollar empire with flex-texture tech, irreverent TikTok humor, and holiday-themed clean-up companions. These brands may serve very different needs, but each one earns its place through conviction, creativity, and the courage to make everyday things feel a little more magical.

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.

Send us a textThe first big snow didn't drift in; it dropped like a hammer. We swap white‑knuckle drives and holiday detours, laugh about leaves buried under ice. Then curiosity takes over: a Japanese “human washing machine” promises micro-bubble bliss, London falls for Trader Joe's totes, and a beauty headline reignites the parasite cleanse debate. A canned sparkling “Proscato” becomes our most honest taste test yet—more kid champagne than prosecco—and somehow the gateway to better bubbles, French 75s, and the idea that tiny, low‑stakes experiments can rescue a dark afternoon. From there we glide into skating: roller rinks in unfinished basements, first crushes with wallet chains and Stüssy, and the jump from rollerblades to ice. We dig into the history, from bone blades on frozen lakes to the Dutch metal revolution, and why hockey is double talent—edge control plus puck sense—in a sport that rewards grit and grace.The emotional center lands with our highs and lows: the churn of family life, the longing for even ground, and a blissful surprise spa night with hot pools, cold plunges, and one unforgettable massage miscommunication. It's a winter survival guide disguised as a hang with friends—part science, part nostalgia, and a lot of heart. If you've ever tried to keep a house feeling like Christmas while the snow stacks and schedules wobble, this one's for you.If you smiled, learned something, or felt seen, tap follow, share with a friend, and leave a quick review.

The latest AgNet News Hour delivers a wide-ranging look at the issues shaping American agriculture—from meat-industry shakeups to the rapid evolution of organic farming technology. Hosts Nick Papagni and Lorrie Boyer blend personal updates with in-depth interviews and industry analysis, creating a vivid picture of the pressures and opportunities facing today's producers. Holiday Reflections and Shifting Trends in American Beef The program opens with lighthearted Thanksgiving conversation, including cooking traditions and reflections on a recent interview about preparing the perfect turkey. But the tone quickly shifts as the hosts discuss a major jolt to the U.S. beef industry: Tyson Foods' decision to close a key Nebraska processing facility. The plant, which employed roughly 3,000 workers and handled nearly 5% of daily U.S. beef slaughter, has broad implications for cattle markets, regional economies, and long-term production capacity. Nick and Lorrie explore the underlying pressures contributing to the closure, including: Declining cattle numbers Rising labor and operational costs Expanding automation Increasing regulatory burdens Concerns for rural communities dependent on packing-house jobs These factors, they note, are reshaping beef production and accelerating the push toward efficiency and technology across the supply chain. Spotlight on the Organic Grower Summit in Monterey The show transitions into an extended conversation with Matt Jungmann, Senior Director of Events for the Organic Grower Summit (OGS), scheduled for December 3–4 in Monterey, California. Jungmann outlines the mission and growth of the summit, which brings together growers, researchers, suppliers, and innovators advancing the organic marketplace. He highlights several key components of this year's event: Educational Sessions & Key Issues Regulatory challenges for U.S. organic producers Labor shortages and rising wage pressures Banking, finance, and risk management Regenerative farming and soil health Marketing, consumer trends, and retailer engagement Retail chains such as Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Sprouts—longtime champions of organic demand—continue to play a significant role in pushing the category forward. Automation, Robotics, and New Tech Demonstrations Jungmann emphasizes that technology is becoming a central force in the organic sector. While organic acreage is growing steadily rather than rapidly, he notes that the barriers to converting new ground remain high. For many producers, automation offers a path to improved efficiency and long-term sustainability. Among the most anticipated summit attractions: Autonomous weeding and cultivation machines AI-driven tools for mechanical pest and weed control Concept robotics from startups such as Reservoir Hands-on demonstrations showing how machines perform in real organic environments He stresses that as chemical options narrow—especially with fewer new pesticides entering the organic toolbox—mechanical and robotic solutions are filling critical gaps. Community, Collaboration, and the Organic Grower of the Year Beyond technology, Youngman celebrates the strong community that defines organic agriculture. The summit fosters a sense of fellowship, giving growers space to exchange ideas, compare seasons, and learn from firsthand experience. He also highlights the Organic Grower of the Year finalists, representing innovation, stewardship, and leadership across multiple states. The award underscores the dedication required to farm organically in an era marked by rising costs, fluctuating markets, and rigorous regulatory frameworks. California's Regulatory Reality vs. the Rest of the Nation The interview includes a candid discussion of how California's farming environment differs dramatically from states like Illinois, where Jungmann grew up. California producers face: Significantly higher labor costs More intensive regulatory requirements Water uncertainty Environmental compliance challenges Market pressures from global competitors with lower production costs Jungmann argues that the future of California agriculture may hinge on growers' ability to embrace new efficiencies—and events like OGS help equip them for that transition. Industry Conversations Continue at the National Association of Farm Broadcasting Convention After the interview concludes, the show returns to Lorrie Boyer, who recounts her recent trip to the National Association of Farm Broadcasting annual convention in Kansas City. The event provided a deep dive into: Commodity and livestock market outlooks Fertilizer prices and global supply chains Weather impacts on crop production Innovations in machinery and agritech Geopolitical pressures influencing U.S. agriculture Consumer nutrition trends and the federal MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) report She also notes discussions around Proposition 12, nutrition policy, new consumer-facing pork campaigns, and the impact of synthetic food dyes on children's health. Rising Consumer Awareness and the Push for Better Food Quality The show ends with a discussion about food dyes and the slow pace of regulatory change. A parent from California shared how removing dyes transformed her son's health—an example the hosts use to highlight growing consumer scrutiny of food ingredients. This concern ties directly back to the organic movement and the mission of improving food quality, even as healthier products come at a higher cost. Final Thoughts From meat-industry upheaval to breakthroughs in organic farming, the AgNet News Hour offers a candid snapshot of modern agriculture's evolving landscape. Whether it's automation, regulation, or shifting consumer demands, producers across the country are adapting quickly—and conversations like these help illuminate the challenges and opportunities ahead.
