If it takes you two hours to film and edit a reel, think about what your time is actually worth. At your hourly rate, that free content may be more expensive than it looks.

Instead of spending more hours creating another post later in the week, put that value behind your best one. For example, if it takes two hours to create and your time is worth $100 an hour, invest $200 into boosting your top-performing post instead of making another.

One strong ad can outperform ten average posts, and it frees up time you can use to run your business.

If you are struggling to keep up with content, we offer budget-friendly social media management packages designed for busy business owners.

Eight days. That’s how long Cracker Barrel lasted with the new logo.

The internet said: “Nope.”

Grandma said: “I can’t even find Uncle Herschel anymore.”

And Cracker Barrel said: “Alright, alright, we’ll put the old man back on the barrel.”

Every complaint, every meme, every sarcastic comment. It united a nation.

Brand makeovers come and go, but apparently Uncle Herschel is forever.

We thank our guests for sharing your voices and love for Cracker Barrel. We said we would listen, and we have. Our new logo is going away and our “Old Timer” will remain.

At Cracker Barrel, it’s always been – and always will be – about serving up delicious food, warm welcomes, and the kind of country hospitality that feels like family. As a proud American institution, our 70,000 hardworking employees look forward to welcoming you to our table soon.

Ever wonder how people actually see you online?

I like to think of it in four lanes:

Educator
Entertainer
Leader
Influencer

You might dip into each of these sometimes, but usually one comes through stronger than the others.

When I looked at my own content, I realized I lean heavy into educations. That gives me clarity. It also helps me shape what kind of posts I create and what kind of opportunities I attract.

If you’re not sure where you land, ask your network this questions...“When you see my posts, do I come across more as an educator, entertainer, leader, or influencer?”

Their answers will tell you a lot.

Ok but do we all realize the shape is a barrel on its side?

Does knowing its a barrel make the new logo any better? Not really. But I want everyone to have the full picture before making judgment.

As a designer, I can see both sides. The old version had character, but it was messy. The redesign strips that away. It feels flat, maybe even soulless, but it is easier to use across platforms.

Cleaner. Simpler. More dynamic in application.

That’s the tradeoff we see all the time in design. But can we stop making everything so boring and one dimensional? Especially at the corporate level.

I love having a crew to lean on at events.

It makes networking so much easier. Instead of walking up cold, you’ve got multiple people who can make introductions, start conversations, and open doors you might have missed on your own.

The bonus? You get to hang out with people you enjoy while expanding your network at the same time.

The Bayou Region Incubator had a presence at this year’s Colab Bayou Business Summit! A wonderful day of networking and collaborating for the entire Bayou Region.

I don't know where the future of marketing is headed, but it will always be focused on attention. The method may change, but attention is what everyone is after. How you capture it will be up to you.

I'm sure you've noticed a flood AI-generated content blowing up your feed. If you don't like it, chances are your audience doesn't like it either. The written word is losing its strength.

Going forward, the authenticity, realness, and effort you put into crafting your thoughts will matter more than it ever has. People are craving raw writing. The ones who spend the most time typing instead of prompting will win in the end.

So try and put down Chat GPT for a second and bang out some authentic writing. You never know. It might be your best post yet.

Need more Bayou Region Incubator hang out time.

We love networking time with our members! As important as it is to hustle and grind, it’s even more important to take a step back and connect!
Here is a quick snap of a few of our members at last night’s Trade Talk Social Hour
Thanks Thibodaux Chamber of Commerce for being our special guest and Colonel Athletic Association for informing us of the upcoming golf classic!

Lately I’ve been thinking about two words: explore and exploit.

Explore means trying new things. Testing new skills. Taking on projects that stretch you a little.

Exploit means leaning into what already works. Doubling down on the skills you’ve built. Using your strengths on purpose.

You need both.

If you only explore, you stay scattered. Always learning, never building.
If you only exploit, you stop growing. You miss opportunities because you’re stuck in what feels safe.

Right now, I’m trying to be more intentional with both. Learn something new. Then apply it with the tools I already trust.

Explore to grow. Exploit to move forward.

Where are you doing each of those in your work right now?
