Monday Motivation On A Tuesday: Just Say YES!

Good morning, Cadre family. It's Luke Wendtlandt. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. It's a taco Tuesday. We are live for Monday motivation on a Tuesday. We'll give you 1 second while you join. We got actually the whole family this morning down at the other end of the table that you can't see. It's my amazing daughter, my incredible son. Well, both of my sons, Cameron and Drew and Ada. At the end, they're having their cereal, getting ready for school. So we'll give it 1 minute while everybody joins.

Here it is. Monday motivation on a Tuesday. I'm excited about today. It's going to be another great day. We'll give you guys 1 second. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Hope everybody has is having a phenomenal start to their day. Give it just 1 second while you guys all arrive. Hopefully everybody is having their cup of coffee, getting their little cup of joe on. I got mine right here. All right, let's begin. Often we hear and we hear the phrase just say no. Right? Just say no. Make sure your time is insanely valuable, what you say no to.

Maybe it's inside of work, outside of work in order to prioritize what's the most important. But sometimes you have to say yes. Good. Good morning, everybody. Good morning, junk food junkie. Good morning, Jules. Good morning, everybody. I've seen so many people pop in. This is amazing. I love it. I love it. But again, you know, we're often just told, say no, say no, say no, say no. And today I just want to say on this Monday, motivation is to say yes sometimes, too. So I'm going to talk about a circumstance in a situation.

Believe it or not, I'm a huge Timberwolves fan. I'm a huge Minnesota Timberwolves fan. Good morning. Steph Irwin. A huge, huge Timberwolves fan. Minnesota fan in the last 20 years. I was 22 the last time my beloved Minnesota Timberwolves made the Western Conference finals. I remember it like yesterday. Kevin Garnett with an incredible game seven in order to push us to the Western Conference finals. So the 42 year old Luke was looking back at that particular time as the 22 year old Luke and said, like, how on earth can I make this another life changing experience for not only me but my entire family, that it's something that they'll remember, too.

And so, in quick, short order, there was an individual that the heart boys love them dearly. They were able to find tickets and they were able to find tickets for the game in Denver. So I flew out at I flew out, let's call it around noon, noonish time, in order to get in Denver. The game started at six and I flew out right at nine. So saying yes to that event and being there for one of the most incredible experiences of my life, a 20 point turnaround in the fourth quarter, third and fourth quarter, to see our beloved Timberwolves back in the Western Conference finals against.

I'm sorry if anybody's from Dallas, and we will crush you against the Dallas Mavericks. So what an exciting time to be a Minnesota sports fan. But it all like this experience just churned because of saying yes. And again, I got closer with some people, some friends. I met other individuals that were Timberwolves fans. I had this life changing and memorable experience. And why is because you put your chips all in on something and saying, my goal is. My goal is I'm going to get to that game. I'm going to get to that game.

It could be anything, right? Saying yes could be anything. But the goal has to be saying yes. I get this, I'm going to make it to the game. Well, you make it to the game and then you just take in all the experiences. So what I want you to take away from today's Monday motivation on a awesome Tuesday is this. Maybe it's that friend that lives out in Maine, New York, wherever, and you haven't seen him in five, seven years. Maybe it's a event, a concert out in Las Vegas at the new sphere. Maybe it is the trip that you've been putting off.

Maybe it is the new job that you just haven't put your application into yet. But again, our world just keeps telling us, say no, say no, say no, say no. And I do want to share that through saying yes. I will admit I also went to game five in Denver, too, and I met Anthony Edwards brother and just had this amazing experience and relationship that is all bowed through the opportunity to say yes. So I leave you with this. There is something, even through the duration of May, that you've been maybe pushing off, holding off, could be a goal, it could be something that you are just been, you know, maybe saying, nah, not now, now is not the time.

I'm gonna push that off a little bit later. But today I want to encourage you with that opportunity to say, let's do it, let's do it. I'm gonna say yes to this one. And on the other side of yes may have been a heartbreak, it may have been one of the most devastating losses. I could have had plane trouble and not made the event that we hosted ultimately on Monday. Like, all these things could be true, and that could all be stress and all of it. But sometimes just leaning in to the opportunity to say yes with people that you love and care about sometimes gets pushed off for the normalized day to day that might not bring you the same much amount of joy, love, encouragement, energy, you name it.

So here's to empowerment of yes. Yes to the right things. But go say yes. Give it a yes today. Have a wonderful day. Go wolves. We will win that series. We will be in the finals. I'm just telling you that right now. But have a remarkable week. Thanks for being here. Love you guys. Have an enjoyable rest of your week on the sphere. Bye bye. Peace, everybody. Bye.
