"Everywhere Else, It's Just Tuesday!" Today is Fat Tuesday, or Mardi Gras, here in the New Orleans region, and several other regions around the Gulf South. (And, yes France, and Brazil...) Of course, we firmly believe that no one else does it like New Orleans does it, so that's my perspective... From college forward, that's been the case. Moving here from Jackson, MS, Mardi Gras was a bit of a culture shock, but I loved it! I loved the acceptance of everyone for who they are. I loved the costumes and group t-shirts - the spirit of the day (and the season). And I really loved the people-watching. Observing our audience and paying attention to what matters to them is one of the highest-value activities we can do as business owners. During parades, it's not just "Throw Me Something Mister," human behavior is woven into every interaction on the parade routes throughout the regions. Crowds in the city behave differently than those in the suburbs. Certain parades attract different types of attendees. The personality of the parade attracts its ideal audience. Parade-goers can choose the dates they want to attend parades based on their schedules or they may have favorite parades based on personality and messages that are synonymous with each parade. And this has been happening for centuries (since Iberville in 1699). The city celebrated its TriCentenial in 2019. (source: NewOrleans.com) So, next time you feel out of sync with your audience or you find yourself wringing your hands about attracting ideal clients for your business, just channel a little Mardi Gras spirit. Do a little people-watching, pay attention to what your target audience is saying (and what they avoid saying), and the problems they mention most often. See how you might position your solutions to help them solve those top-of-mind problems. And for extra credit, think about creating your own special celebrations that just don't exist anywhere else so your people want to come hang out with you for these special and exclusive celebrations. And just for today, Happy Mardi Gras! or Happy Tuesday! if you are anywhere else in the world.

Since I came to the UK, more than 8 years ago, every Christmas I wait for the release of Christmas ad campaigns, just as many people do, from all the retailers but primarily from John Lewis. This year, the John Lewis ad really spoke to my heart. Grow your traditions, it said. Now, being Greek, married to an English man, with my closest friends being from Greece and Bulgaria, our traditions are always resembling a mix-tape from the 90s. Sometimes a successful one, sometimes one where the radio presenter couldn't stop interrupting the song and messing up our recording. Christmas means pigs in blankets and cranberry sauce but it also means honey-cookies (melomakarona) and powder sugar shortbread with almonds (kourampiedes). No wonder then why listening to John Lewis' message about growing our traditions meant a lot to me. But let's bring that in the workplace for a moment. What does "grow your traditions" mean at work? It means not only accepting diversity but embracing it. It means respecting and understanding other cultures and having a healthy appetite, a curiosity, for learning more about this international, interconnected world we live in. And if you do it right, then you have a very engaged workforce where people feel they belong to this wider group with all these different traditions. If you do it right, you grow your traditions and become stronger for it. And in my case you also become heavier as every tradition in Greece comes with delicious food. Take today for example...today is my name day. "What is that", I hear you saying. Name days are important in Greece. In older times they were more important than people's birthdays believe it or not. It's the day we celebrate the Saint who gave us our name; for me that's Saint Nicholaos and today is the day we celebrate him in Greece. Saint Nicholaos is the Saint protecting the sea travellers, the children and the poor. And, although I'm not religious, for different reasons, St Nicholaos has always had a place in my heart. As we're growing our traditions, I hope you all feel a bit more comfortable this year incorporating, including, more traditions in your lives. Name days is a good one. Comes with free chocolate and loads of celebrations! #growyourtraditions #nameday #engagementanddiversity

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, the holiday dedicated to the end of slavery and the liberation, culture, and freedom of African Americans in United States history. Black entrepreneurs, distillers, mixologists, and innovators have made rippling impacts on the beverage industry for as long as we've known, and commemorating their legacy is especially important for today's holiday. Check out this article we wrote for Juneteenth in 2022, spotlighting five Black innovators in the Beverage Industry. Cheers to education, history, and the continuing fight for equity!
