Rob Treppendahl grew up in a family where hard work and love were guiding principles, instilled early on by his father's words and example. With a strong emphasis on taking risks and striving for meaningful goals, Rob learned not only the value of dedication but also the confidence that comes from unwavering family support. Encouraged to pursue his dreams and embrace an entrepreneurial spirit, he carried forward the lessons of agency, resilience, and self-belief, always backed by the assurance that his family would be there no matter where his ambitions led him.1/ Meet Rob Treppendahl, Baton Rouge native, CEO of Treppendahl Landscape, AND executive coach. But today’s story isn’t about overnight success. It’s about risk, debt, failure, courage, AND redemption. #Entrepreneurship #LouisianaBusiness2/ Rob’s story starts with family: “Work hard, play hard. My dad taught us two things: how to love, and how to work.” With entrepreneurs on ALL SIDES of his family tree, running a business felt like destiny.3/ What was his first “business”? Not a lemonade stand…A gumball machine in a nail salon. He even learned the difference between how Skittles & Reese’s Pieces absorb nail salon “aroma” (hint: not all candy is created equal).4/ Rob chased freedom from DAY ONE: “I value the freedom to choose what to do with my time.” No 9-to-5, no “working for the man.” Everywhere he looked in his family, he saw people betting on themselves—and winning.5/ But here’s where it gets REAL. Early on, Rob obsessed over sales and growth, hiring on experience—not alignment or healthy team culture. Result? CHAOS. MASSIVE turnover. Constant firefighting. Growth with zero pleasure.6/ By 2015, his business doubled revenue in a year—sounds impressive, right? Behind the scenes: $400,000 of debt, a mutinous team, mental exhaustion, zero profitability, and the worst year of his LIFE.7/ Rob admits: “I was a prisoner of my own business. I would see someone mowing a lawn and wish I could trade places.”8/ The turning point? Through sheer vulnerability, he connected with a mentor at a NASCAR race—yes, really. That mentor convinced him to simplify, focus on profit, not just revenue, and build a TRUE leadership team.9/ Rob’s biggest realization: “If you want a REAL life, you must simplify your business enough to let other people run it. Systemize it. If it’s too custom, too complicated, you’ll never escape.”10/ He got RAW with his wife, went to a debt counselor, got brutally honest about the company’s finances AND stress. “That was probably my first real taste of accountability.”11/ It paid off. He focused on recurring, manageable work. Hired and grew his team. Turned stress into freedom—actually taking a month-long family trip to Hawaii while his company ran without him.12/ Here’s the gold: “Owning my story, shame and all, has made me a better leader, husband, dad—and now mentor to others.” Now, Rob helps business owners AVOID his mistakes through coaching and total transparency.13/ If you’re struggling as an entrepreneur—drowning in stress, chasing your own tail—it’s NOT just you. Rob was there. Leverage his lesson: Focus on profit, not just revenue. Build your team. Get honest with loved ones. SLOW. DOWN.14/ Biggest takeaways: • Growth ≠ Success. Simplicity & profitability win. • Vulnerability is a superpower. • Agency is worth more than any salary. • You’re not alone in the “mud.”15/ Want to hear the whole story?

On this episode of Muddy Waters Clear Vision, host Stuart Gilly sits down with Armand Michaud, principal partner at Attracct Accounting Advisors. Born and raised in Baton Rouge, Armand shares his journey from humble beginnings—including early career influences and unlikely turns—to leading a fast-growing accounting advisory firm serving Louisiana businesses. Stuart and Armand dive deep into formative leadership lessons, the pivotal moments that shaped Armand’s career, and how he’s navigated the challenges (and opportunities) of becoming a business owner and CEO. Together, they reflect on building high-performing teams, the evolving demands of leadership, and the transformational impact they aim to make in their community—highlighting the work of the “Rain Will Bring Flowers” Foundation. Whether you’re a budding entrepreneur or an established leader, this episode uncovers practical wisdom and inspiring stories from inside the muddy waters of professional growth. Join us as we learn how clarity and purpose can emerge from even the messiest moments.1/ From a Baton Rouge kid with no accountants in the family to a founder of @AttracctAdvisors—meet Armand Michaud, whose path is anything but typical.2/ Choosing accounting wasn’t some childhood dream. It came from a one-off suggestion at LSU spring testing: “Accounting is the best business major.” Sometimes, random advice shapes destinies!3/ Early on, Armand realized the value of internships: They don’t just show you what you WANT to do. They show you what to AVOID. (Turns out, audit & tax weren’t his things!)4/ True breakthrough: Those tough moments in accounting, where theory meets messy reality—acquisitions, debt refinancings, new regulations. “No accountant has ever seen it all.”5/ Climbing the ladder meant facing imposter syndrome—being the youngest manager, leading people who once supervised him, forcing himself to develop the skills he lacked.6/ Wisdom from mentors: "To improve, you CAN’T just work on your strengths. You need to attack your weaknesses."7/ Today, he leads with high expectations but a chill demeanor—building a company where employees want to stay, and clients grow because they can focus on what they do best.8/ When it comes to impact, Armand and his team are all about community: Their big cause? Supporting teen suicide prevention with the Rain Will Bring Flowers Foundation, turning grief into purpose.9/ Growth doesn’t end—Armand’s team is doubling, opening new offices, and always recruiting the best PEOPLE, because “no matter the industry, it’s always about people.”10/ And here’s his #1 advice for young pros: Take every opportunity. Don’t wait for the roadmap to be handed to you. Go get it. The best things happen when you raise your hand—even if you don’t know all the answers yet.11/ Want a playbook for leadership, growth, & impact? Read this thread. Sometimes, what gets you here won’t get you there. Stay hungry, stay humble, stay curious.Who else is out there climbing from muddy waters to clear vision?

1/ Ever heard of fierce rivals teaming up for the greater good? Meet Sarah Taylor & Bryan Hollingsworth. Two nurse-entrepreneurs who ran some of the top occupational health clinics along the Gulf Coast… and shocked their industry by joining forces.

2/ Their origin story? NOT your average LinkedIn DM. They met at a crawfish boil in Sulphur, LA—introduced by a client who saw their similarities. One catch: “She’s your direct competitor in Baton Rouge,” he warned Bryan.

3/ You’d expect tension, right? Instead, over some beers on a picnic table, instant professional chemistry sparked. The kind where “talking shop” felt like swapping secrets with a friend rather than an enemy.

4/ Then life threw a curveball—a storm sent a tree crashing through Bryan’s roof. Who did he call for help? You guessed it, Sarah. Not only did she welcome his entire team, she lent equipment so he could keep serving clients.

5/ Payback came years later. When flooding hit Baton Rouge, Bryan’s crew rolled up with water, food, generators, and even a cash envelope collected by his staff for Sarah’s team. Forget competition—this was community.

6/ Did they ever poach each other’s clients? Not once. Instead, “We figured out we do better to stay in our areas and use each other in the neighboring area. It just gives us twice as much stretch,” Sarah shared.

7/ The game-changer? When both realized clients needed broader, united support—across multiple states, with seamless records and standardized care. Enter: New Ready Health, their bold joint venture. #Innovation

8/ Their approach: Radical honesty. They had brutally transparent conversations—about their deepest fears, potential conflicts, and their teams’ anxieties. Managers from both sides voiced concerns: “What if this fails? What happens to us?” They faced it all, together.

9/ The clincher: Integrating all records into one universal portal. “That’s huge,” Sarah explained. Now clients with scattered operations could instantly access everything for every employee, everywhere. No more hiring chaos.

10/ Why do this? “We want our clients to have a competitive advantage over everyone who doesn’t use us,” Bryan said. “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” They’re not just talking it—they’re living it.

11/ Their secret? Abundant mindset, brutal transparency, and respect for each other’s hustle. “She’s the only one who out-hustles me,” Bryan admitted.

12/ The takeaway: In a cutthroat market, you can choose trust, humanity, and next-level service. Sometimes your “rival” is actually your most powerful ally.

On today’s episode of Muddy Waters Clear Vision, I sat down with Matt Valiollahi, founder and CEO of Southern Marsh. From flipping used cars as a teen in Baton Rouge to building a nationally recognized apparel brand, Matt shared how grit, mentorship, and a relentless focus on learning fueled his entrepreneurial journey. We discussed the messy startup days, navigating manufacturing disasters, and how Southern Marsh pivoted from wholesale to thriving brick-and-mortar retail. If you’re building a business from the ground up or love real stories of resilience, you won’t want to miss this one!

1. Matt Valiollahi’s entrepreneurial journey started in a Baton Rouge mechanic shop. Real-world business lessons come from hands-on experience, not just textbooks. True culture is built from roots, hustle, and mentors willing to share the ride.
2. Southern Marsh’s growth was fueled by learning from mistakes, trusting instincts, and seeking inspiration from local icons. Building company culture often means embracing uncertainty and pushing through those “muddy waters.”
3. When Southern Marsh shifted to subject-matter experts and fractional partnerships, company culture thrived. Results matter more than clock-punching. The best teams blend passion, expertise, and accountability.
4. In business and community, meaningful culture starts with connecting to real needs. Southern Marsh supports local schools, law enforcement, and causes led by leaders they trust. Culture is about showing up and making an impact—no shortcuts.
5. Southern Marsh found growth by listening to frontline employees and pivoting fast—doubled retail sales by empowering store leaders. Cultural transformation happens when you trust people, let them lead, and learn from everyone at the table.

1/ Meet Julie Laperouse – keynote speaker, corporate trainer, founder of Screaming Peacock, and living proof that betting on yourself CAN pay off. Her story? Packed with courage, imposter syndrome, hilarious detours, and Cajun spirit.👇2/ Julie grew up in Jennings, LA, raised by a hardware salesman dad & a teacher mom. Building furniture with her dad, inspired by her mom’s impact – you could say making things & teaching people run deep in her DNA.3/ Her first hustle? Babysitting (turns out, she only REALLY likes her kids 😉). But at just 14, she was ALSO a COUNTRY RADIO HOST in a red barn, thanks to a small-town millionaire who…get this…left his fortune to the radio station. Schitt’s Creek vibes, anyone?4/ Legendary moment: Before leaving for LSU, a local entrepreneur told Julie, “If I could buy shares in people, I’d buy 1,000 shares of Julie Guidry.” That belief stuck. Sometimes you need someone outside your family to tell you: “I SEE YOU. I’d bet on you.”5/ But let’s get real: The whole “bet on yourself” thing isn’t always easy. Julie wrestled with a “scarcity mentality” around money – raised in a classic 80s/90s home where hard work was king but money was tight.6/ Taking risks? Oh, she did. Julie & her husband moved to a city where they knew ZERO people, bought a failing business in an industry they didn’t know, AND got married—all at the same time. “We were unconsciously incompetent – didn’t even know what we didn’t know!”7/ That muddy period saw them driving forklifts & patching warehouse roofs themselves, learning the pressure of being at the top. Payroll on personal credit cards, absolutely praying things would work out. Spoiler: They DID.8/ Fast-forward: Julie’s path included consulting, chamber of commerce work, running major projects, and raising four daughters. Each pivot came with doubts: “Am I qualified? Do I belong?” Helloooo, imposter syndrome.9/ What helped? COMMUNITY. Julie says her success is thanks to the “personal board of directors” around her – her husband, mentors, colleagues – who repeatedly said: “Julie, I’d bet on you. Why aren’t you betting on yourself?”10/ Sometimes you need coaches, not just cheerleaders or critics. People who’ll say: “What’s the actual roadblock? Let’s plan for worst case & see if it’s really THAT bad.” #EntrepreneurMindset11/ Since going full-time with Screaming Peacock, Julie’s realized: entrepreneurship = doing EVERYTHING, not just the fun parts. Booking, delivering, marketing, planning. “I looked at the whole sales cycle & realized: I AM the whole circle!”12/ Cheat code? When in doubt, Julie picks up the phone, talks to her network, asks for opportunities – and the pipeline fills. Remember: You have more jurisdiction over your path than you think!13/ On generosity: Julie models micro-acts of giving, teaches her kids to be good humans, and believes in purpose “glimmers.” Sometimes your purpose isn’t one grand thing – it’s those small moments of kindness.14/ Her advice to younger self? “No one is better than you.” Imposter syndrome? It NEVER really goes away, but now she names it, owns it, and moves past it. Inner doubts = normal. Don’t let them run the show.15/ Final life lesson: If you can’t find your grand purpose, seek glimmers of purpose in everyday moments—a smile, a check-in, a helping hand. Little things DO matter.16/ Where’s Julie headed? Training locally, speaking nationally, making an impact with her new Training To Go series. Most importantly: showing her daughters you can build a wild, imperfect, fulfilling life if you bet on yourself.17/ If you needed a reminder today: Bet on yourself. Find your people. Seek purpose glimmers. And maybe, be a bit more of a Screaming Peacock. 🦚💥— If this inspired you, SHARE & TAG someone who needs a nudge to bet on themselves!#Entrepreneurship #Purpose #Leadership #WomenInBusiness #BetOnYourself #RealTalk

1/ Let’s talk about mentorship, not just as a buzzword, but as a powerful force that shapes leaders and communities. In their recent conversation, J.H. “Jay” Campbell, Jr., a retired business executive, consultant to family-owned and corporate enterprises, and board member for both for-profit and nonprofit organizations, and Stuart Gilly shared real gems about what true mentorship looks like (hint: it’s not what you might expect).2/ Jay didn’t even realize he was being “mentored” early on. He just admired, learned from, and followed the example of people he respected—WWII vets who handled adversity with calm, virtue, & strength. “They weren’t Pollyannish; they just didn’t want to burden others.” 3/ The ‘mentor’ label only hit when Jay was in his 30s. Before that? They were bosses—decision-makers who respected him, listened to his ideas, and included him in shaping the company’s future.4/ What set them apart? Their unwavering purpose. “They were daily communicants, grounded in faith, and played the hand they were dealt, no matter how tough.” That’s a life lesson, not a quick tip.5/ Jay’s first external mentors were BANKERS (sounds weird, right?)—but for him, they were business leaders driving civic engagement, teaching him to give back, connect, & genuinely make Baton Rouge better. Not resume-building. Not ego. #CommunityFirst6/ The best mentors aren’t just spewing advice. “A real mentor doesn’t give answers—they ask the right questions so YOU figure it out. That’s where growth lives.”7/ Coaching vs. Advising vs. Mentoring:

• Coach: “Here’s how to be better at the game.”
• Advisor: “Here’s what to do with your money/business.”
• Mentor: “Let’s unpack how you can approach this. What do you want? How will this impact your life, NOT just your business?”

8/ Sometimes your paid advisors/coaches have a dog in the fight—mentors don’t. “The mentor is for the PERSON, not the project. They care if you stay whole, not if you close the deal.”9/ Practical tip for mentees: Be ready to listen and invest in YOURSELF. If you’re seeking mentorship, take it seriously. If you’re just looking for a pat on the back, you’re missing the point (& mentors will bail).10/ Baton Rouge’s real need: Mentorship that looks beyond age, status, or titles. Jay says: “Maybe the mentors are already out there—people just aren’t utilizing or sourcing them intentionally.”11/ Imagine a network where every entrepreneur, leader, or professional can access honest feedback, real world experience, and someone who just wants to help them THINK, not just DO. How different would Baton Rouge look?12/ For those thinking of becoming a mentor: “You don’t need all the answers—just be humble, be a listener, and know what questions to ask that help others see THEIR path.”13/ The bottom line: Mentorship isn’t about telling people what to do—it’s walking alongside them so they don’t lose sight of what matters: their family, their values, and their purpose. 14/ Want to level up your leadership AND community? Invest in mentorship, on both sides. Start asking—and answering—the real questions.15/ Shoutout to Jay, Stuart, and everyone quietly building up Baton Rouge (and cities everywhere) one honest, meaningful conversation at a time. It matters more than you know.#Mentorship #Leadership #BatonRouge #Entrepreneurship #CommunityBuilding

1/ Meet John Roberts, the CPA challenging everything you expect from accounting. From walk-on football player to co-founder of @AttracctAccountingAdvisors, his journey is anything but boring. This Muddy Waters Clear Vision episode is packed with lessons on teams, leadership, risk, and legacy2/ John’s #1 career advice? “Worry more about just getting on the right team and less about your role on that team.” Whether you are on the bench or a starter, being around winners will shape your future more than titles.3/ Growing up, John saw the highs and lows of entrepreneurship firsthand. His father ran a business, and often struggled for clarity from the “traditional” CPA world. That pain sparked John’s mission: bring proactive, relational service to owners who deserve answers, not confusion.4/ Sports shaped John’s approach. He played college football (walk-on, scholarship, FOUR knee surgeries!), battled adversity, and watched a losing team turn into winners overnight when the right coaching staff set new standards. No one person bigger than the team. Culture > talent.5/ Leadership style? “Lead from the front.” Don’t just pull the weight—be out there, first in, last out. “Accountability, integrity, extreme ownership, drive, family—and BE COOL.” (Yes, “be cool” is a core value. Not your father’s CPA firm for real.)6/ PSA: John and his co-founder learned taxes, processes, and firm-building from scratch. “We didn’t learn outsourced accounting at a big shop— we bootstrapped all of it.” They hire for attitude & willingness over skills. “I can teach debits & credits. I can’t teach you to care.”7/ Real talk: Sometimes you mess up and have to eat crow. John shares owning painful conversations with clients (“I thought you’d get a $20k writeoff, but it fell through”). But it’s all about accountability—and never making the same mistake twice.8/ Give back. John’s team is deeply involved in mental health orgs, Alzheimer’s advocacy, Empower 225, youth mentorship—putting talents, time, and treasure to work. “We’re just conduits. Our role is to press forward and make a difference.”9/ If he could tell his younger self anything? “Just because nobody around you is doing something, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t.” Don’t be a prisoner to your environment. Try more things, seek new perspectives, and never just eat what you’re fed.10/ Where’s Attracct heading? Doubling again by 2027, snagging acquisitions, serving bigger clients, building a killer sales team—and always, always leading with heart, culture, clarity, and that essential cool.11/ Legacy: “I want to be known as someone who took risks, put others first, and spread peace and joy. It’s an abundant world—if I can inspire that belief, I’ve done my job.”12/ Bottom line: Whether you’re building a business or a career, get on a great team, lead with integrity, stay curious, give back, and—maybe most important—be cool. You might just reinvent the game. #Leadership #Entrepreneurship #CPA #BusinessGrowth

1/ Meet Dr. Curtis Chastain: Baton Rouge native, internal medicine physician, disruptor. His mission? Helping guys live a LONGER, healthier life—by finding and fixing what might take them out early. 2/ What’s his #1 rule (courtesy of mentor John Barton): Answer the phone when people call. Be present. Availability = leadership in practice, not just medical care. 3/ Dr. Chastain’s approach is different—by design. He ditched the grind of traditional medicine to build deeper patient relationships, slow down, and TEACH. “Doctors are teachers at heart,” he says. 4/ The birth of a new business model: He calls it “access, convenience, efficiency.” It started as a gut instinct, became a risk, and turned into a success. When he launched his “membership medicine” model, 220 patients followed him. Now? Nearly 700 clients and counting. 5/ What is “membership medicine” (NOT “concierge”): $2,000/year—think, same as a cell phone bill—to get direct, immediate access to your doc. No insurance red tape. No 9-minute rushed visits. Real conversations. Real results. 6/ Example of WHY it matters: A guy calls about “shoulder pain.” Instead of a quick shot, Dr. Chastain listens—again and again. It’s not a shoulder issue: it’s his heart. THAT level of attention saved a life. Most doctors don’t have the TIME for that. 7/ Muddiest moment? Dr. Chastain lost his first wife during his residency. That pain—being in the waiting room, not just the white coat—transformed how he relates to patients. He knows what it’s like to wait for the call, to hope for a miracle. 8/ Advice to his younger self (and to all of us): Don’t be so hard on yourself. Not everything will be perfect. Pivot, learn, move forward. Carry that compassion into your work. 9/ The future: He’s mentoring the next gen of docs, spreading this model, and HOPES to break the mold for primary care everywhere. “Let doctors WORK for patients—not the system.” 10/ Bottom line: Healthcare doesn’t have to be a fight. You deserve access, expertise, and a doctor who answers the phone. The system’s changing—be a part of it. #Healthcare #Medicine #Disruptor #Longevity #BatonRouge
