Do You Like What You Do?
Sarah Goschy • March 6, 2017
I read an article in The New York Times recently that stuck out to me. It was about the importance of liking what you do and the negative emotional and financial implications that arise when you don’t. Perhaps the subject matter hit a little too close to home. Let me provide some context: When I decided to move back to Nashville after a 6-year stint in New York City, I was burnt out on a career filled with corporate ladder climbing and yes, a lot of success by anyone’s standards. I had a great title. I was making more money than I’d ever made. I was living the dream in the big city! If I’m honest, I was also unhappy.

Moving back to Nashville to work for roux has been a rewarding experience. One full of fun. A happy one. And for that, I’m grateful.

We’re back with another creative croux feature. Normally, these pieces are put together by one of our freelance writers, Annie Van Essen, but this time, we’re spotlighting her!
Roux celebrates Mardi Gras 2024 and 10 years of good times, Louisiana roots, food, creativity and community.
Every January we like to gather as a croux and plan for the year ahead. It serves as a holiday celebration and a strategy session. We look forward to it every year. Over the last few years, we’ve also begun incorporating a “word of the year” practice, where we each choose a word that we will focus on throughout the year.
This year, we decided to take our merry-making to the streets of Nashville to see how well the average passerby could interpret some of our favorite Creole vocab. The results were… entertaining. See for yourself!
Every year, our croux puts together a roundup of our favorite Super Bowl commercials.
This time around, we thought we’d switch it up and ask for submissions of our team’s favorite commercials EVER. Whether from 2023 or 2003, we want to celebrate the advertising magic of Super Bowl Sunday.
Here at roux, we have a wonderful team of creatives supporting us, including photographers, videographers, writers, and designers.
Today, we’re excited to introduce you to Kyle Sorvick, one of the talented graphic designers we work with as part of our extended croux.
Roux shares Christmas greetings from partners and friends, celebrating creativity, connection and the holiday season.
