On Our Minds

Matisyahu is a devout practitioner of Hasidic Judaism who has become a breakout star in the world of hip-hop. He is also an incredible presence in and example for youth, both in Jewish and non-Jewish communities, across the country. This reminds me of Rabbi Conrad Loewy, who was responsible for one of the most transcendent [...]

The following is an email I sent to our teams at each of our venues. I feel that posting it here offers some insight into LRG’s continued innovation:
Hey guys,
Lifestyle Revolution Group has almost entirely undergone the transition to where Matt will lead and manage most of the day to day operational, financial and [...]

One of the really strong concepts behind what we’ll do at Ste. Marie (pronounced “Saint Marie”) is going to be to heavily incorporate the lessons, both stated and observed, that we learned from our grandfathers with our genuine belief in a progressive New Orleans that is a creative and cultural juggernaut. This restaurant will [...]

This was a quote from Top Gun used to describe the only time that Maverick would be happy in life. I never really thought that I agreed with that mentality but it seems that the pace of life at LRG would indicate otherwise. Although we just made it through the successful opening of [...]

Yeah, me neither, but I don’t have the good sense to tell my brother he’s batshit. I’m roping in Vice, Hammel, Pike, Cres and Jon Guidroz to run it with us in the name of “family tradition” (Peter, I think that would be a fine Bodenheimer family and Launchpad tradition, as well). [...]

On Sunday beginning at noon, we will be hosting a tailgate at the 930 Poydras building, where will eventually be developing a project. This very sleek and modern new residence building that offers a 10th floor lobby overlooking Poydras and a pool deck, both with breathtaking views. We would like to invite you [...]

FOREWARD: The letter below is an internal company email that was sent last night in light of the recent events to the LRG staff. As you, our friends and guests, are part of the LRG family, we wanted to share with you the steps we are taking to ensure this does not happen again.

Tonight at Republic we will be hosting “Uncork the Cure,” a Motown-inspired fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis. This is a cause dear to me. Grace Rose Bauer, the daughter of my best friend Leah and the niece of Republic social media marketing whiz Kate Bauer, has CF. It has been a cause that [...]

I’ve been invited to the Trump headquarters for a meeting with Ivanka once to discuss young businesses and project viability in New Orleans. It is a very intimidating place (despite the very underrated warmth and grace of the Trump family). This is why I can say without a doubt that my cousin Chad Landry has [...]
