Rule #10 Of 13

Good morning, Cadre family. Hope everybody's having a great day so far. It's Luke Wendtland, your chief motivational officer. I've been here at Cadre since day one. Another exciting week ahead for those individuals that came out yesterday for our sauna. Cold plunge on White Bear Lake here right outside Minneapolis St. Paul. What a day. It was beautiful. The sun was coming in right into the sauna off of the lake. It was just, it was magical. It was almost like this meditative, spiritual, such an incredible moment in time.

So let's give it 1 second. I'll have a cup of coffee here. Just introduce myself. Bringing everybody up to speed here. Again, we're talking about rules today, some of the rules that I've implemented ingrained in my, in my life. So these are the 13 rules that, you know, I follow by some of the ones that I talked about in the past or. Good morning. Good morning. Some of the ones I talked about in the past was my relationship with exercise, my decaf, relationship with exercise, my relationship when it comes to my family, who's in my inner circle, all those different things.

So we will talk about this one. It is a good decaf. Good morning. Reset. Good morning, edge. Good morning. Speak wonder. It is always so good to see you all. This one's really exciting for me, and it's a total transformation of myself and my thought process and kind of who I thought I was versus who I am. What on earth do you mean by that, Luke? In my mid twenties, late twenties, even early thirties, you know, I would say good morning. Good morning, Amy. I would say that I was a motivational seeking hound.

Like I wanted to, I wanted to figure out what it was that I wanted to drive me to do the next thing. Maybe it was a race, maybe it was work, maybe it was trying to identify, like, I think I found the end of YouTube. I really do. Like I thought I found the end of YouTube to listen to all the different motivational speakers and what they're doing and why they're doing it. And you know, what I found is you kind of just recite other people and what you kind of do is you formulate, like, in order to be your own superhero.

You're actually just living somebody else's life. Their words, what they're doing, how they're doing it, why they're doing it, and what I found for myself. Good morning, Maria. What I found for myself was in probably this transition and shift in my early thirties is when I really focused on, is this my own superhero life? Is this Luke went Lentz. Or is this a podcast I listened to? Is this the latest motivational speaker? Is this the latest thing? Well, today. Is this the latest on Instagram? Is this the latest on TikTok?

Is this the latest? And what you're finding is you're completely unoriginal, completely right? Like, so you're not original whatsoever on who you are. You know what you're driving. You're just listening to other people and just kind of, like, implementing and integrating it into your life. And what I found was, like, they aren't any different than me. And I also found that I can do even more than them. So, you know, whether it's coming to running races, running enterprises. But what about imitation is the highest form?

But what about imitation is the highest form of flattery? I get that, but I'm going to change your narrative on this. Speak, wonder. This shouldn't be somebody like you looking up to somebody else. It should be you looking up to you. That's what I was trying to say. Like, it's time for all of us to be our own superheroes. Like, for me, for example, I'm not looking at anything anymore online to fill my buckets of why I'm heading on the treadmill. I'm not finding the latest music. I'm not listening to the latest podcast.

I'm not doing any of that. When you hear me talk on Cadre, these are my stories. I'm not looking at something and trying to find somebody else's story and their life story of what they did, how they did it. Like, you're getting all of me. This is it, down to speak wonder. Like, where I spend my time, where I spend my money, who I'm doing things with and why, what life experiences I'm driving, what I'm doing with my children, why I'm doing with my children. Create your own unique voice, my own story.

You darn right. And I think what you're going to find, speak wonder, is you have so much internal motivation with the experiences and stories that you've created with your own life. You don't need it. You are, and we are supporting a $50 billion business because we don't have it inside. And the reality is, I didn't either for the first 30 years. I had to go find it elsewhere. Until you start realizing, like, whoa, I just ran a half marathon under 2 hours without practicing when I was in my twenties.

Google it. Right? I didn't practice. I didn't train. I'm like, I can run one of these. I can do it. 157 57. Get off me. Right, next one is I can run 100 miles, race. I can do it. I can build a business. I can start a company. I can be present and engaged with my children's activities. I can be the best father that I can be. But you have to be your own superhero. So when, when people get off you, you're dang right. But what I'm, what I'm trying to tell you right now is every single one of you on this risa, chris, speak, wonder, amy, maria, you name it.

Every single one of you has the opportunity right now to forget the books, forget the podcast, forget whatever your life experiences speak for themself. And if you're playing small, go play big. Go play big. Change the narrative of your life today. You can bring it back to a summer. I was in my mid twenties. I had this calendar, and I started creating this calendar of, like, no drinking, eating good food, and exercise like that. That was my calendar. Why, I didn't know the faintest thing about mental health and wellness.

I didn't have the slightest idea what decisions are really good or bad for me. For all intents and purposes, in 90 straight days, I had a circle, an x, or whatever, looked through it, and I just kept running and running. Before you know it, you get a mile, and then you get 3 miles. You get 4 miles. You're like, whoa, this is pretty impressive. And all just because you're doing the work. You know, on Instagram, I saw a guy who has almost a million followers, and they're showing, like this weighted vest, right?

It's like this weighted vest on him and whatnot. I'm like, I sorry, I have to read these. It's like when I style my clients for a while, I hope after sometimes I set them free and that they have the tools then they need to imply. I love it. Jim Carrey, like many of you, I was concerned about going into the world and doing something bigger than myself, until sometimes, until someone smarter than myself made me realize that there's nothing bigger than myself. Wow. That's an unbelievable quote, by the way, Heidi.

I love this rise. So we get all the tools from somewhere first. We get all the tools from somewhere first. That's right. So what I'm trying to tell you today is this. You have the tools. They are inside of you, and it's time for you to turn yourself into your own superhero. And that superhero doesn't mean running a hundred mile races. That superhero doesn't mean starting businesses. That superhero can mean, you know what I'm gonna walk to work. That superhero might mean, you know what? You know, that promotion.

I'm gonna put myself out there and apply, you know, that opportunity that I've been sitting at for the last five years at work, and, you know, there's another opportunity out there that I want to go after, maybe. I'm gonna try. And I think what you're gonna find is ThAT you do have the tools inside. You do have that inner confidence. You do have that drive. You have those opportunities. And when you change the narrative of living somebody else's life and somebody else's superhero of where you're looking to and whatnot, before you know it, you're gonna find your mountain like this.

And at the very peak of that mountain is actually gonna be you, and you're gonna be up there, and you're gonna be up there alone. And having a lot of individuals start looking at the story of your life. Oh, we are not broken. I love it, Nikki. That's absolutely right. In the money, we are not broken. Not even close, Heidi. That's an unbelievable quote by Jim Carrey, by the way. And I hope someday that individuals are quoting me, turning themselves into their own superhero. And last but not least, I just want to say is once you start to find that, you're going to find your time, your values, your ethics, your morals, your creative spirit, your drive for success, your perseverance, your grit, all of it, are going to go into something so much bigger than yourself, is creating the real you.

And who is that person? And I'm going to tell you right now, that person is very, very bold. It's very courageous. It's very admirable. I sat on several coaching calls last week. The best part about where I'm at in my life is I can give my time and my money to whoever I want, whenever I want. And it's maybe late at nights that I'm helping individuals in, like, a coaching. Sometimes I'm so close to the face, I don't even realize that. Dang right you are. Speakwender. You know, sometimes at night, I just.

I help people through. You know, maybe it's the Cadre sphere or people that are reaching out, calling or otherwise. And to me, that that is being my superhero is supporting people, is helping people, is driving individuals to see within themselves that they can change, that they don't have to be stuck. These are the things I live for. So, incremental climbing. You're the best. This one, I hope, just drives a little ire in your mind to be able to say to yourself, like, I can, too. I maybe don't need Brene Brown.

Maybe I don't need that instagram scroll of the 75 different things that I'm looking for for motivation today. Maybe I can look back in my life and say, I was bullied and look where I am. I had a tough upbringing. Look where I am. I struggled at school and look where I am. I had a difficult time and look where I am. So think about those things today, okay? I love this. Even when we are at the summit, we are always climbing. You're always going to keep climbing no matter what. Be your own superhero.

Step out of the shell of this unoriginal lifestyle that a lot of us live. I was there. Trust me. I was living somebody else's dreams because all I was doing was just wanting to see what the next thing was going to be that I was going to find. But today, I can safely tell you no longer. I'm writing my own story, and I hope it's a story that can stand the test of time. Help a lot of individuals be mission orientated, support a lot of different goals and dreams. So you guys have the best week ever.

Do something nice for somebody. Step out of your shell. Be your own superhero. Because you know what? I'm looking through there and I see 123-4567 I see seven superheroes at least that commented on this today. That I know that right inside your heart, your soul, your mind, you can do anything. You can do absolutely anything. Your limitations are absolutely self imposed. Go get it. And I'm here to cheer you on and support you through it all. Take care. You guys have an unbelievable weekend.
