Grit
Stefan Speligene • November 5, 2015
Grit can mean different things to many of us, and even though being a Southerner I really like the ones we cook, today I am referring to how we persevere in our life and our work. Nothing great comes easy, and typically nothing easy is worthwhile.
Many speakers such as Bill Hybels, Kevin Elko, John Maxwell, and John Mattone are all talking grit these days, and I want to add a little spin on it and include grit with character. When things get tough, many people look for the easy road, and sometimes that’s not the best path for building a person’s character or the business’ reputation. I believe we all grow from adversity and gain resiliency as we go through these experiences and not around them.
We all have examples in our life and hopefully we can share these with others and help them learn and grow as well. I love being around those with this “integritty” because it’s a spirit you can’t help but admire and adopt. At roux we are grateful to have clients who are of high moral character and make the tough decisions everyday – they are who we align with and model everyday — personally and professionally.

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.
