Monday Motivation. Building Up To It

Good morning, everybody. It's Luke Wendtlandt here, just on a little walkabout. It's absolutely gorgeous. My mother in law was in town or in town this weekend, and it was fantastic. Great opportunity to spend as a fam there. I'm on, like I said, just a little walkabout. My name is Luke Wendtlandt. I've been with Cadre since day one. Really excited to chat about this one is there's one of those moments that, you know, you just, you'll never forget for me, anyhow, of listening to podcasts, interviews, continue to try to become, you know, my best self and trying to become my best self.

You know, every once in a blue moon, you hear something or see something and you're like, wow, this is, this is phenomenal. So good morning. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. Let's give it a second here. Good morning, everybody. Again, it's Luke Wendtlandt here. Phenomenal day in paradise. Phenomenal day in paradise. Well, say my message today. Number one, is when you go on the live streams today, the live stream schedule, you're going to see a ton of live streams throughout the duration of the week.

Our amazing director of programming, Colleen Lindstrom, has put those all, all on the schedule in advance. So you'll see everybody when they're scheduled and slated to go live. And that is going to be remarkable. So you'll see the schedule well in advance for the entire week. So you can pick and choose what it is that you want to listen to and why. Second, we have just a remarkable group of individuals covering so many different topical areas of consideration, whether it is mental health and well being, dealing with being a caregiver, trauma, grief, loss, hope, sobriety, recovery, reset and recovery.

All the things, we cover all of them throughout the course of the week. So that is really amazing, too. So you'll find, pick and choose exactly what it is that you want, why you want it, and, you know, select accordingly. Next is, you know, my message today is kind of short and sweet, and I'll never forget, I was listening to this interview one time, and it was with Matt Damon, and Matt Damon was on some, you know, late night talk show, and he was asking about something. He's saying, hey, can you do some impersonations?

He was doing some impersonations, and one of them that he did was Matthew McConaughey. And he asked, he's like, what's something crazy that came out of Matthew McConaughey's mouth? And he goes, hey. He's like, hey, how you doing, matthew? You know what's new? And he goes, building up to it. Building up to it. And when you really think about that and you think about building up to it, and you take a step back and you think of how beautiful that sentence is. Building up to it forwards, and building up to it could be anything.

It could be a weight loss challenge, it could be finding oneself, it could be exercise, routine, fitness, journaling, all of it. Starting a business. For me, for example, building up to it right now is everything about Cadre. Like everything about Cadre. It's whether it's. I use negative connotation, whether it's learning through mistakes, whether it's figuring out what's next, but no matter what, I'm building up to it. And so what I want you to think about when you listen to this today is what are you building up to?

What are you building up to? And why is it important for you? Building up to it. So the next time you see Matthew McConaughey, you're going to remember this four word sentence, building up to it. So go build something. Go do something special. And always remember there's going to be somebody. That is, when you're building up to something that is going to try to knock it down, pull it down, twist it down, tell you you can't do something. You name it. Just fuel. It's just fuel. Go harder. Go harder.

When that happens,
