Everyone has a go-to coffee cup or mug. In Mug Shots Monday, Biz New Orleans takes a quick coffee break with local business leaders to learn what’s in their cup, what’s on their mind and a few things you probably won’t find in their professional bio.
This week, we’re starting the series with our own business leader: Renaissance Publishing CEO and Publisher Todd Matherne.
What is your go-to coffee shop and your usual order?
Evolve Coffee and always a Hot Latte with Oak Milk.
What are you watching, reading, or listening to right now?
The new seasons of “Ted Lasso” and “Big Brother.”
What’s the biggest thing you learned from your first job?
I did not want to do this the rest of my life!
What’s your favorite happy place in New Orleans?
Any place with family – I have a growing family and it is always organized chaos and I love it.
What advice would you give your younger self, or yourself when you first started your business or career?
Go with your gut!
