Discover the unexpected side of Copeland's as Caitynn Traylor, Catering Banquet Sales Manager, reveals how this Louisiana institution is transforming the local event scene with their newly acquired caterer liquor license.

"We catered Thanksgiving for Amazon last year and it was over 2,000 people," Caitlynn shares, highlighting the impressive scale of operations this family-owned restaurant can handle. Many are surprised to learn that Copeland's, despite having seven locations, remains deeply rooted in Louisiana culture and family ownership. Founded over four decades ago by Al Copeland Senior and now run by his son, the restaurant combines the reliability of an established brand with the personalized touch of a local business.

Caitlynn brings over 15 years of industry experience to her role, having worked her way up from TGI Fridays to managing Copeland's extensive catering operation. Her passion for exceptional service shines through when she discusses their approach: "It does not matter if I'm only doing a 10-person birthday party or 200-person wedding. I'm going to show the same attention to detail and care to every single event." This dedication to quality extends to their beverage program too, where even mocktails like their popular blueberry lemon drop become the talk of the event.

What makes Copeland's catering special goes beyond food and drink—it's about creating community connections. As Caitlynn puts it, "We need some camaraderie and love," and through their events, they're helping bring people together across Shreveport. Whether you're planning an office lunch, wedding reception, or corporate gala, reach out to Caitlynn and experience how Copeland's can elevate your next gathering with their custom menus, expert bartending, and true Louisiana hospitality.

Ever felt like you're standing in your own way? Like there's something you're meant to do, but fear keeps holding you back? This soul-stirring conversation with Tookie from Haughton, Louisiana will have you questioning what dreams you might be postponing.

Tookie opens up about her lifelong connection to music and the paralyzing self-doubt that kept her from sharing her gift with the world until age 35. "Self-conscious, scared, nervous... missed opportunities because of it," she confesses, painting a picture that many of us know all too well. Her turning point came from a simple promise to herself: perform on stage just once. What followed was unexpected support that transformed her life.

What makes Tookie's perspective so refreshing is her emphasis on authenticity over perfection. She's not concerned about hitting every note perfectly – she wants listeners to feel something genuine. "I want you to hear my words... It's all about the soul of music," she explains with disarming honesty. In a world obsessed with flawless performances, Tookie's approach reminds us that real connection comes from vulnerability.

Her parting wisdom hits like a thunderbolt: "The worst thing you can do is prevent yourself from being something you were destined to be." If something keeps calling to you, perhaps it's time to answer. As Tookie powerfully demonstrates, sometimes the most important person to show up for is yourself. Listen to this episode, then ask yourself: What might be possible if you stopped getting in your own way?

The road from setback to success isn't always a straight line. JCorey Williams journey proves that sometimes the most winding paths lead to the most extraordinary destinations.

During our vibrant Vegan Cookout episode, JCorey opens up about losing his band scholarship after failing graduation exams – a crushing blow that temporarily derailed his dreams. His candid revelation about once mocking students who had to retake tests, only to become one himself, showcases the humility that would later define his leadership style. The turning point? A judge who saw potential in him offered to drop charges if he earned his GED, sparking a remarkable educational comeback.

JCorey doesn't sugarcoat his struggles. He admits to initially flunking out of college with straight Fs while pursuing his DJ career, believing fame made education unnecessary. After a year of soul-searching and encouragement from an unlikely mentor – his Wendy's manager – he returned to school with renewed purpose. His transformation was extraordinary: from failed student to campus leader, working in public relations, becoming a student recruiter, SGA representative, the first campus DJ, and eventually homecoming king.

Today, as president of GoDJs Global, JCorey oversees 250 DJs, coordinates events, and runs marketing campaigns for major brands. His influence extends across 12 radio stations, and he's even ventured into acting. What makes his accomplishments even more impressive is that he's achieved them with just an associate's degree, defying the typical educational requirements for executive positions. Coming from a single-parent household without ever meeting his father and with no family connections in entertainment, his success story is entirely self-made.

Beyond his personal achievements, JCorey's primary mission has become creating opportunities for others. "I'm not trying to take advantage of nobody," he emphasizes. "I just want to put right people in the right positions so we all can win." Follow his continuing journey on all social media @GoDJJCoreyLamar and witness firsthand how determination, faith, and hard work can transform any life, regardless of where it begins.
