How Are You??

Flows accordingly. Hopefully, everybody's having a great week. I sure am. It's been a busy week, productive week, but a good one nonetheless. Good things always happen on Fridays. Well, so we hope. But let's start out with this number one Mother's Day weekend. Right? Mother's Day weekend coming up. So for all the moms out there, all the moms, you are incredible. Thank you for all that you do. My mom, you're amazing. Thank you. And thank you. And thank you for everything that you've allowed. Myself, my brother, the rest of our family, thanks for always being there.

To all the moms coming up, you know, big, big, big day on Sunday. Take that in. Enjoy it. Do you wanna know what my wife's Mother's Day celebration is? KFC. So we wait all year long. So KFC special for her on Sunday. And we have an amazing dinner, lunch, whatever you wanna say with KFC for myself and her family. So that's our big Sunday event. And then, of course, she has all weekend to do whatever she wants, whenever she wants. But with that being said, I want to jump into a topic and a subject today that really hit home for me.

Right? So we ask this question a lot to all of us, which is, how are you? Response, I'm okay, I'm good, I'm fine. I'm all right. So that's just this obvious response back. So again, ask that question, how are you? Seemingly, it seems like this respond back of, okay, I'm fine, I'm doing all right. All the things that, honestly, it's just a cop out answer. So what I'm going to encourage you to do, and I want to have you going to this weekend with this piece of homework. Okay. I really, really am just going to push you all in here on this one.

All right? So when you have, you know, when you have this opportunity and it's presented before you of how am I doing? Okay, I want you to press a little deeper. Right. So somebody did this to me today when said, hey, Luke, how are you? And I said, I'm fine. And her response was, tell me the biggest challenge that you're faced in life today. I was like, oh, my gosh, you don't even want to start with that. And before we know it, this conversation led into identity, sleep, ego, stress, and all these different things that bled into this conversation due to her not accepting, okay, or fine, or I'm good, or I'm doing well as your answer.

Right. So again, my homework to you. My homework to you. Is this when you are in any conversation, when you see any conversation that's happening, either, a, before your eyes, b, that you're involved in, c, that's something that happens on the side. Push it a little harder. Push it a little bit harder. I'm good. I'm fine. I'm okay. I'm all right. We need the second wave. What? Today makes it okay? Are you really okay? Tell me what you're struggling with. Is there any challenges that you're faced with today?

Those are just some next level questions that you can always ask to maybe dive a little deeper. Because the reality is, folks, right, I don't think we're living in a world today where people are okay, where people are fine, where people are good, where people are right, or people are doing well. And I think we all, as human beings, need to find this level of connection and community that maybe that we've never even felt before. So I want you to push all of your chips all in right now, the next time you have one of these conversations that you owe it to yourself to dive a little deeper.

Okay? So I'm good. I'm okay. I'm fine. Whenever you hear those words again, I want you to think, how can I push this conversation to really go a little bit deeper? So have an amazing weekend again. To all the mothers. To all the mothers out there, this weekend's yours. Enjoy it. Take it in. Do all the things that are million times over month. Have an amazing thank you for tuning in today. Everybody on the platform, everybody on Cadre, everybody to your families, your friends, your colleagues.
