Chris Meaux made a name for himself a decade ago when his Lafayette-based food-delivery company Waitr became a startup darling
he's got a new venture that aims to use artificial intelligence and the expertise of local business leaders to help more founders achieve success
is a collaboration between Meaux and former Baton Rouge Business Report Publisher Rolfe McCollister
They've created an online platform called Solomon where successful business owners upload business advice and stories from their experience as entrepreneurs
QiMana subscribers can query the database of "luminaries" that then uses AI to provide personalized insights based on the collected expertise
"What's missing from the entrepreneurial ecosystem is an organized and systemized way for startup business owners to get the coaching they need to be successful," Meaux said
He noted that businesses that go through local accelerators
QiMana came out of a conversation Meaux and McCollister had in 2019
when they talked about how they were regularly getting requests for help from fledgling entrepreneurs
but they didn’t have enough time to give advice
but Meaux said it needed to be something different if he was going to ask people to pay for it
when Meaux was advising a mentee at Loyola University’s Wolf Pack LaunchU startup boot camp
he heard something from one of the other advisers that was a “light bulb moment.”
it shows how you tackled the same challenges.”
Solomon is different from large language model AI chatbots such as ChatGPT
because it taps into a specific knowledge base
Meaux said if you ask ChatGPT how to start a business
it will give you a step-by-step list of basic functions
like how Meaux talked to 1,000 potential users and 100 restaurants to validate his idea for Waitr
it was acquired by Texas billionaire Tilman Fertitta
including 400 in its Lafayette corporate offices
But the business struggled following the acquisition of Bite Squad
The company changed its name to ASAP and tried to move into general delivery service
bringing customers everything from auto parts to sporting goods
QiMana is signing up customers to be part of the beta test of the Solomon platform and lining up experts to fill out the knowledge base
The plan is to release select access to beta customers at the end of February and launch the service sometime in the first quarter
Meaux said he hopes to have 25 to 50 "luminaries" as part of the program
Entrepreneurs will pay $30 a month to have access
They can also book private counseling sessions with mentors for an additional fee
The service will pay the experts when their information is accessed
like how Spotify pays royalty fees to musicians when a subscriber listens to one of their songs
"So this will incentivize not only education for the Solomon brain
but it will encourage luminaries to come back and provide additional information," he said
Meaux and McCollister have put in their own money to launch QiMana
but Meaux said he hopes once the service launches
"We know how to scale this to do what we want," he said
Meaux isn’t the only Louisiana tech veteran who is experimenting with AI
many familiar faces are applying AI technology to their areas of expertise in the hopes of bringing successful startups to market
who sold his research tech company Lucid in 2021 for $1.1 billion
his 4-year-old Dungeons & Dragons platform
managing director of Revelry StartUp Studio
is developing AI tools to speed up the process of launching a new venture
led by Idea Village founder Tim Williamson
is building AI-powered tools to help build human connections
“Everybody is using AI to solve problems they had in the past and trying to build a business out of it,” Williamson said
Meaux has a lofty goal for QiMana: He wants the service to improve the number of startups that stay in business
"Even if we get 1 or 2% more of businesses to succeed
that would have an economic impact on our communities," he said

senior vice president in the office of issuer and portfolio management
Ginnie's director of issuer and portfolio management
Leslie Meaux Pordzik In parting words delivered as she prepares to leave Ginnie and the larger mortgage capital markets she has worked in for over three decades behind
Pordzik reflected on what may lie ahead for both the agency and herself after she leaves
"I've had a front row seat housing finance table for 36 years and it has been an incredibly interesting journey for me," she said.
Pordzik, who is known for playing a key role in the effort to establish the government securitization guarantor's issuer operational performance profile scorecard to reflect nonbank growth
said she will miss working with Ginnie's mortgage company partners
"We have built out a very robust set of metrics that we use whatever the cycle is
This current time period has been really difficult [due to interest rates]
we've had fewer concerns than I think we would have anticipated," she said
Another project Pordzik has worked with that she hopes will continue include the Ginnie Mae Central platform
Such projects could be important in the context of efficiency goals considered likely to become even more of a focus next year
"We have been evaluating several business initiatives to help bring efficiency to our business processes
although I don't know how much more efficient we can get," she said
"We send about a $1 billion or so back to the Treasury every year and if you divide the number of Ginnie Mae employees by that
staff and structure are different from the other two key government-related secondary mortgage market players Pordzik worked for during her previous 20-plus years in the business
but she does see one commonality: reliance on industry partners.
it came down to relationships," said Pordzik
who has a background in psychology and worked for government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac before joining Ginnie
Pordzik's sees the pandemic as one of the most significant periods during her tenure and one she hopes Ginnie will consider as it keeps building out issuer risk management after she leaves
She points to how Ginnie set up the Pass-Through Assistance Program as a response to the concern forbearance would impose massive advancing responsibilities
While the program ultimately was sparsely used due to the refinancing boom that relieved advancing concerns and would require conventional intervention to use more permanently
Pordzik sees it as having long-term significance in calling attention to a key servicing risk
"The fact that Ginnie could put something out to the market like that and calm it was just
a really seminal moment of when government was responsive," she said
of the significant advancing obligations of our program
so we're looking at a variety of proposals to address it."
one thing Pordzik has an interest in pursuing that could provide some continuity in terms of her past work with Ginnie would potentially be work with organizations that advocate for veteran housing issues
(MBS Ginnie guarantees include loans for veterans.)
"I do want to stay engaged in the industry at some level
"I'd like to use my expertise as we continue to try to ensure housing stays relevant for a lot of our citizens
Veterans are near and dear to my heart and on both housing and mental health issues

who will become the ninth Bishop of West Missouri on May 3
looks forward to participating in the diocese’s ministries and hunger for following Christ
“West Missouri has such an openness to serve
whether that’s expressed in radical hospitality
“Anytime a community is that open to the gospel
the Spirit has an opportunity to take off and soar
The Diocese of West Missouri has 47 parishes and 8,800 members
One challenge of West Missouri is its size: 37,000 square miles, with Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral in Kansas City
There are parishes with harvest festivals and parishes with Pride festivals
that people can work together in their shared desire to serve God
“It’s finding that common ground to follow Jesus,” she said
She’s particularly hopeful about youth ministry
“Adults are willing to put aside those differences to bring young people together to grow into that commitment to Jesus,” she said
She hopes to continue the diocese’s annual pilgrimage to the location of 1906 Easter lynchings in Springfield
“I’m invested in learning about the history of racial division — and reconciliation,” she said
She has been dean and rector of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Little Rock, Arkansas, since 2020. She’s proud of adding a community garden on a vacant plot the cathedral owned, in partnership with the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance
She said vestry members considered selling the lot and using the funds to support the cathedral
but they realized that using it to help the community was a higher priority
“It was a great example of a creative response to mutual need,” she said
This is something she wants to encourage: how can the diocese work with and for its neighbors
What can it address using the resources and space it already has
“My first hope is to empower and strengthen our congregations for their ministries
Congregations begin to understand their life within their communities and have a sense of vitality,” she said
Another aspect of that is responsible maintenance and stewardship of parish resources
began to work with congregations on how to keep their older buildings sustainable
Meaux hopes to help congregations seek grants from outside of the Episcopal Church
“Communities don’t want historic properties to go away either,” she said
adding that churches that use their spaces for secular purposes
She knows this is a difficult moment for American religion
“We’re all facing challenges as we’re becoming the church in this new way of doing church in the 21st century,” she said
But she also knows God is there for the church
“I could not have been in this process with West Missouri without the presence of the Holy Spirit,” she said
Meaux was ordained to the priesthood in 2002 by Charles E
Before serving as cathedral dean in Little Rock
she was rector of Trinity Episcopal Church in Danville
and served parishes in Texas and Louisiana
not only from the churches I’ve served but the churches that have served me,” she said
noting she’s been in the church all her life (and an Episcopalian since she was 11)
in humanities and social thought from Northwestern State University in Louisiana

Every second that drained from the clock felt like forever for Comeaux football
The Spartans were in a battle with North Vermilion on Oct
The Spartans and Patriots exchanged leads throughout the game
never letting the crowd get too comfortable
"Coach typically can't hear us on the sidelines but at that game he said
Like there was no missing y'all,'" Comeaux quarterback Sean Brinkhaus' mom Ashley Broussard said
"There were times we were almost too loud and the players could barely hear the coaches."
The boisterous Spartan crowd and the desperation to win dragged this game to the wire
The Spartans had the lead going into the fourth quarter but the Patriots' run game became too much to handle as every carrier moved the chains and drained the clock
Despite the Spartan crowd's relentless cheers
the win slipped from Comeaux's grasp as it did all season long
Comeaux football has ended the year without a win
finishing the 2024 season with a 0-10 overall record
Losing has become a theme for the Spartans
who hold one of the longest losing streaks in the 337
having lost 32 consecutive games dating back to 2021
Second-year coach and Comeaux alum Marquis Newsome isn’t a stranger to building programs from the ground up
The task to rebuild isn’t always pretty and with the Spartans
the road has been bumpy with losses scattered across it
making it even easier for doubt to creep in
but we see ourselves far more greater than they may see us,” Comeaux senior defensive end Noah Ford said
“Even though we didn’t win any games we still pushed and were striving to exceed those expectations that our coach has for us.”
Most may still doubt the Spartans after this year’s finish but not everyone
A group of Comeaux moms nicknamed the Meaux Moms are keeping hope alive in the Spartans program
the Spartans wouldn’t be able to still hold their heads high heading into the offseason
When Brinkhaus started playing football for the Spartans three years ago
Broussard went to every game and immediately noticed a lack of parental involvement
Communication with parents was little to none and it carried over to her son’s baseball season where things finally reached a boiling point earlier this year
“The kids didn't even get to eat lunch before they put them on the bus to a game up at Sam Houston over Easter break,” Broussard said
This issue made Broussard want to take action to form what would become Comeaux’s official booster club and advocate for its athletic programs: the Meaux Moms
Broussard and the Meaux Moms got into contact with the school’s Lafayette Parish School Board representative Kate Labue
starting a rapport that led to the Spartans receiving new uniforms and equipment for the first time since 2017
“I think people just didn't realize that they could reach out to her and ask her for things."
the Meaux Moms helped spark a big growth of parental involvement for Comeaux football
he typically handled all the off-the-field stuff himself on top of teaching math at Comeaux
"This year is a different story,” Newsome said
About 10 moms and one grandmother make up the Meaux Moms group which handles just about all of the behind-the-scenes operations for the team
“These ladies take care of all the before-the-game meals
all the posters and advertisements you see around — they did that,” Newsome said
they have somebody handing out water and they raise a lot of money for the kids
They're doing a hell of a job of stepping up to the point where these kids are asking
The Meaux Moms spared no costs to show the Spartans this season they are deserving of this kind of support
cheering on the Spartans despite the result never going in their favor
“Every game and like every Friday people would say we’re gonna lose instead of believing in us
” Comeaux junior defensive tackle Braylon Thomas said
They’re crazy about their children and about the team.”
Despite the growing parental involvement in Comeaux football
a collective chip remains on the Spartans' shoulders as they continue to struggle on the field
They play in a tough district league loaded with athletes who are likely to play on Saturdays next fall
the Nishs — this area is I think the best talent I’ve seen from Carencro on past Morgan City,” Newsome said
“So you're going to have to compete every day
There’s no days off in this district and having Jims and Joes makes a difference.”
the Spartans may not have come away with a win this year but they become a part of something bigger
“A lot of the kids that play are maybe not the star player or like my kid whose first time playing football was his freshman year at Comeaux,” Binkley said
“He was trying to do powerlifting and the coach was recruiting boys he thought would have potential.”
For senior middle linebacker Dayton Broussard
who has played varsity for the Spartans all four years
he was able to learn lessons beyond the gridiron and beyond the losses
“I think I learned a lot about becoming a man like just starting to realize my responsibilities and what I really need to do to grow up,” Dayton Broussard said
a lot of anger issues and stuff like that but coach Newsome and just playing with this team really helped me with that.”

Pordzik expressed gratitude for her time at the company
“It has been an honor and a privilege to serve at Ginnie Mae,” she said
“I am immensely proud of the work we’ve accomplished to strengthen Issuer oversight
I leave confidently that the agency is well positioned to meet its mission thanks to the dedication of my colleagues and the entire Ginnie Mae team.”

it's a good 50 kilometers between the French capital and the Pays Briard in the Seine-et-Marne département
if you want to pick up your Brie de Meaux straight from the farm
helmet and sun cream ready and head for Meaux
recognizable by its pretty Saint-Etienne cathedral (and its bell tower)
After having covered the distance with the strength of my legs
it is necessary to inform you that the course is not completely linear
the GPS indicated a 3-hour ride: in the end
as I wanted to follow the canal as far as possible from the towpath
you have to cross a departmental road and use a towpath
even though cycling is forbidden on the path (despite the fact that many cyclists use it)
And this will be the case for the rest of the journey: there's still a good twenty kilometers to go
and there's no further signposting to Meaux
but you have to continue along the towpath
the path sometimes alternates between slightly stony and less smooth stretches: this is also something to bear in mind before you set off
I decided to continue pedaling on the secondary road indicated by my GPS
before changing my mind in view of the beautiful hill that awaited me..
And the small chainring my bike is equipped with
I end up leaving the towpath a little later
because the time on my GPS keeps increasing
and I'm afraid it'll take me 5 hours to cover the distance (the canal isn't a straight line
I've got about 7 kilometers of road to cover
bearing in mind that the roads I've taken aren't dangerous or difficult to take
I'd advise you to proceed in this way if you don't have too much time to waste
You'll arrive in Meaux a few kilometers further along the cycle path
you're more or less on your own with your GPS
so don't hesitate to shorten the route by opting for a roadside section
especially if you're only doing the outward journey from Paris
The scenery is magnificent and the cycle path very pleasant to use
so I'd recommend it for a day of good weather
Meaux has many points of interest, including the Grande Guerre museum, the Palais Épiscopal, the Bossuet garden..
you can always pedal back - which will make for a great day at over 100 kilometers - or opt for a return trip from Meaux station on the Transilien line P (arriving at Gare de l'Est)

the garden covers an area of 8,500 m² and features four flower beds and a central fountain
Seen from the air, the shape of the gardens is reminiscent of the bishop's mitre, the headgear traditionally worn by bishops. The garden is also bounded by the ramparts of Meaux, and lies directly opposite the Bossuet Museum
part of the city's episcopal precinct and not far from the Maison du Brie de Meaux
The bell tower of the Cathédrale Saint-Etienne can be seen in the distance
a vegetable and medicinal plant garden is planted in the heart of the garden
and every weekend from spring to late summer
the garden hosts a fine program of shows and events
The Bossuet garden is open every day
take the Transilien line P (departure from Gare de l'Est) and get off at the "Meaux" stop
then walk about ten minutes to the city center
There are also buses from the station to the Episcopal city
belligerents used horses and animals to get around the battlefield
A place as dangerous for men as it is for animals
The Musée de la Grande Guerre in Meaux (France) takes a closer look at these animals
their usefulness and their links with mankind
with a brand new exhibition running from April 12
The Des chevaux et des hommes exhibition pays tribute to the millions of animals used during the First World War in France and other war-torn countries
Historians estimate that eleven million horses and mules were used during the Great War
including almost 1.9 million by the French army
which also testifies to the ravages of this war of unprecedented violence
the First World War was totally different from previous conflicts
These animals were used to transport equipment or cavalry and artillery troops
The exhibition highlights the role of these animals
It illustrates their place in the conflict
and the ways in which the various armies used them..
The exhibition also highlights the strong bonds that existed between men and their animals
and how soldiers cared for them above and beyond their military duties
The Musée de la Grande Guerre presents a touching and powerful exhibition on the collateral victims of this war

I started ministering in the Diocese of Beaumont last year
and Amy was one of the first persons I met
She was and is such a beautiful and caring person with a great smile and very helpful to this new person on the block
We thank Amy for the time and gifts she shared with us
We thank her for her faith and her courage
and all the people she has touched through the years
