Cadre Today and Welcome to Cadre

Good morning, Cadre. Happy Friday. How are you? I hope you are great. A little counting crows cover. That was hard to say as we groove for a minute before we jump into Cadre today and charge the people a dollar and I have to see them. No, no. Don't they always seem to go that you don't know what you got till it's gone. Hey, far, my farmer, put away your DDT. I don't care about spots on my apples. Leave me the birds and the bees. All right, we'll hit pause. It's hard to hit pause when we're grooving together in the Cadre sphere.

Paella. Nice to see you, my friend. Everybody make sure you check out paella on Wednesdays here in the Cadre sphere. On Cadre today, we take a moment to have a little bite sized livestream and either, number one, learn about what's coming up on Cadre. Number two, look back, review something that we've talked about from a contributor and really dive into the magic that people offer when they're being real with one another. Or number three, share kind of what cadres really doing in this world. My name is JC.

If we've never shared time or space together before, thank you for the opportunity to do so right now. m. m. central Standard Time. Talking about a couple other topics, but for right now on this Friday, I want to first encourage you. I know that the one and only Doctor Charryse just signed off a few minutes ago, and you can go ahead and rewatch that live stream whenever you like. It's sitting there waiting for you. But today I wanted to talk about Cadre live events. You may be someone who jumps into a lot of live streams because, by golly, that's where we are right now.

You may watch the prerecorded content when you go, hey, here's a really cool series. Or here's a topic that I can click the tab on, and all of a sudden I get all these resources for different topics. Maybe you're a person who jumps and scrolls the community feed, knowing that scrolling a community feed like cadres is always going to bring you through quite an array of positive or nourishing or thoughtful ways to connect with other people. But there's one other big way that you can connect with Cadre, and that is at live events coming up in just under two weeks.

We're doing a live event called the Beautiful, the positive impact of neurodivergence in the workplace. And we have one other live event coming up. This one's in October, but I'll still mention it right now. And it is all around the idea of safety and how your employees feeling safe or you feeling safe at work or being empowered to feel safe through your worker benefits is number one. Right. If you don't feel safe, you probably aren't doing a lot of other good stuff or feeling a lot of other good stuff in this world.

So if you're like, gosh, I would love to attend one of those two events, hey, send me a message and we'll get you signed up. They're both hosted in the Twin Cities in Minnesota, in a suburb right nearby Minneapolis. So September 12, we have a really powerful team of people coming together to share about their perspectives of neurodivergence realities and how, number one, we don't have a lot of established pathways for neurodivergent individuals to find employment. And number two, when we do have neurodivergent people in our workforce, either as if we are the boss or the business owner or as a co worker, we don't spend a lot of time going well, how do we ensure that there's powerful, fruitful relationships that are forming and people across all spectrums are being empowered to work and to work efficiently and effectively?

So September 12, you're going to get to, if you're in attendance, hear from a lot of experts whether they are living it, whether they're in positions of power and influence, or people who are attending the event also get to share their voice in real time. That event is being empowered by Minnesota Autism center, who, if you ever tune in on Thursdays, you'll see a lot of individuals from Mac who will be sharing live streams as well. And then the October 24 event, all around safety, is being brought to you, along with Cadre by a company called Turn Signal, which is an app in your phone that if you ever get pulled over, you hit this button.

Boom, you hit the turn signal button and it calls a lawyer in real time so you don't have to do traffic stops alone. A lawyer in your state who knows all of the laws of your state picks up and then you have someone else to be in the car with you, which, again, as we talk about feeling safe and talking about different segments of the population who maybe have to think about safety more than others, what a powerful tool to be able to have. So turn signal along with Cadre, I'm going to be talking about the idea of.

Of physical safety, mental safety, spiritual safety, all of the safeties as we consider how we do workplace better. But, y'all, you are entering a, what we call in the United States, a long weekend. Labor Day is just around the corner. But guess what? You're gonna have Cadre here right with you tomorrow and Sunday and Monday and every other day that you ever live on this planet as well. So wherever you are, whatever you are doing, please. It always seem to know? That you don't know what you got till it's gone.

This is a Good Friday song for me. What's a good Friday song for you? A little Joni Mitchell cover of big Yellow Taxi being done by casting crowns, and Vanessa Carlton on the bop bop bop. I think they give Vanessa a verse coming up here, too. But I'm telling you, Vanessa Carlton, bravo. What would this song be without you on the m bop bop bops? I do not know. Have a great Friday, everybody, and we will see you tomorrow.
