Team Cadre- What Is Cadre?

Well, hey there, Cadre. How are you? I hope you are doing great. It is Tuesday, and this is team Cadre. What is Cadre? Every weekday we spend. Oh, my hat's falling apart. Let me rip that off. Every Tuesday in the morning, we spend a little bit of time doing something we think is really important, and that is for your sake and for our sake, answering the question, so, what is Cadre? If we're creating something that is truly for everybody, it's important for us to answer the question, what is Cadre?

So I will say Cadre is a special group of people with a special intention in this world. What's that special intention? To create a space filled with professionals and peers, creating a community filled with resources, showing the world that there are many ways to wellness. That's what we're doing. And we often talk about the Cadre sphere. Someone asked me recently, am I a part of the Cadre sphere? They were a user of the app, and I was like, ah, darn it. So this morning, I wanted to bring out my whiteboard and draw what I think the cadres fear is.

Now, I'm one of those people. Here's a little bit about me. I have a whiteboard in every single room in my house. Yes, that includes the kitchen. Yes, that includes the bedroom. Yes, that includes the bathroom. Why? Because this brain and this heart, well, more so, this brain, it doesn't hold on to things for very long sometimes. So whenever I have an idea or a thought or an image, I try to get it down right away, because sometimes it disappears fast. So in my kind of my office space, I have a really, really big whiteboard.

So I just cleared off this part of it for you today so I could draw what I think the cadres fear is. But I want to say, hey, I see, steph. I see. Speak, wonder. I think I saw Jules bop on in. I saw some other people bopping as well. Tell me how you're doing. This is what I think the cadres sphere is. So, obviously, Cadre sphere sounds like atmosphere. When I first came up with this idea of cadres fear, that's what I was talking about. An atmosphere is the stuff that holds us all together. It's the stuff that pulls us inward.

So let's go ahead and say that you enter the Cadre sphere here. Like, steph, I think you found the cadres sphere through Doctor Charisse, right? Actually, speak, wonder. I think you found the cadres sphere through Doctor Charryse as well. Actually, I think a lot of you found the Cadre sphere through Doctor Charryse, the wonderful Doctor Charryse, brought so many of you in to the Cadre sphere. The cool thing is, is once you walk into the Cadre sphere, you may go, you may find things that you didn't know you were looking for.

Now, let's go ahead and say Luke. Luke is in the Cadre sphere. I'm going to put Luke in the middle, because Luke is the founder of Cadre. Well, one day, Luke's wife, Emily, saw me on television. I'm a wellness correspondent in the Twin Cities. And Emily said, hey, Luke, go meet that guy. He met me, and all of a sudden, he was like, hey, come on in. So all of a sudden, I became kind of a. Kind of a doorway for people to enter the Cadre sphere through Luke. Then all of a sudden, now people are coming in the cadres sphere, maybe through me, but at the same time, all of a sudden, all of you are also ways that I'm making connections through the Cadre sphere.

And all of a sudden, all these lines start connecting in different ways. Now what ends up happening is someone may enter the Cadre sphere going, wow, I lost my mother. So I'm a grief person. How often do we do that? Oh, I have cancer. So I'm a cancer person. I have a child with Asperger's, so I'm a caretaker parent. And we go, you are that person who lives in that bucket, and we think that that's our identity. Like you are that dot. No, you exist within this world where you are a human being existing with other human beings in the reality where you are a holistic reality of a whole bunch of stuff.

So guess what? Every single day, there is something here for you because you are a human being. That's a really cool thing. Jewel says, I learned about the Cadre sphere through Carrie at my EMS conference. Speak wonder. Says, cadres Sphere. It's like a galaxy in a small neighborhood all at once. Well, speak wonder. The funny thing is, a galaxy is a small neighborhood, depending on how far away you're looking at that galaxy. A galaxy is pretty tiny, right? Our individual life is pretty tiny if you're looking at it from far away, or it's pretty darn big if you're looking at it from the isolation of your reality.

Steph says, I love how there is something for everyone in the cadres sphere. And Steph, I would even shift to say, everything is here for everyone in the Cadre sphere. And if it's not yet, we're working on it, because that's what this atmosphere is working this way on purpose. Why? Because people are joining it and realizing it that they are a part of it. Later on today, I'll be talking about its building community day and I talk about the outward facing click in a couple hours. It's exactly what we're talking about.

So that is what Cadre is a little taste in the morning to start your day. We have some wonderful people on building community today. You're going to see Doctor Leslie, who talks a lot about one on one relationships. You're going to see Jill and Mary of girls mentorship. As they say, this is their Super bowl season. They do camps for teen and tween female identifying young people and they support adults who support them. So they are later on this afternoon. But again, you are a part of the Cadre sphere and it is ever growing, y'all.

We'll see you later. Ah, my camera just fell. Whoops.
