Cadre Today

Well, happy Friday there, Cadre. How are you? I hope you're good. Let the sister Sledge play us in. It's a good Friday tune, I think. Don't you think? Hey, hey, hey. Good morning, everybody. Oh, you are coming in hot today, y'all. Oh, if I'm putting a little lyric bug in your ear today, I'm glad it's this one. Get up, everybody. It is Friday. And if you're good, that's good. And if you're not good, that's okay, too. No matter how you're doing, no matter what's going on, this is a good place to be right here in the Cadre sphere.

A place where there are people to be close to you, to care about you, to ask you how you're doing, even if you don't know how you're doing, to provide your resources, to create a cloud of community and to remind you that the way that you're doing things is one of the billion ways that you can be doing things. And if you're curious and courageous to find different ways to wander, we're going to help you find those ways. Say, in Minneapolis today, a lot of the contributors are going to be getting together and meeting for the first time.

Like, meeting together in person. How cool is that? The Cadre sphere obviously lives through your devices, right through your phones and through your laptops. But it's amazing that you may run into your Cadre Sphere people at a Cadre Live event. Or like today at Cadre headquarters, contributors are going to be saying, hey, face to face for the first time. Which is pretty cool. It's a reminder, right, that you don't need to be within the same sphere all of the time or in the same way to be connected.

You know, so often we go, guys, you know, social media is ruining connection. And I go, I don't. I don't. I don't appreciate big, broad stroke comments because they aren't ever true. There's truth in them. But you know what? A lot of the connections that I have made over the last 20 years that have been most meaningful have come this way. I'm married to someone who I met through a phone. I say good morning and good night to my parents every day through my phone. I have a network of individuals all around planet Earth that I'm kind of known for.

People always say, jc, you know, everybody. And my response is always, I'm working on it. There's something about connection, but more so there's something about the way we honor our connections that make those connections valuable. So a reminder as always, you have resources here. Live streams, pre recorded content, community feed that can stir up new connections, that can galvanize your existing ones. But the way that you honor those connections and the way that you share those connections with other people is the way that you give yourself and those people around you a really powerful gift that is other people Cadre.

You are a beautiful family. I am grateful to be a part of it. You know, you'll always get those little notifications that say, hey, someone's going live right now. But if you jump into the Cadre sphere and you want to engage in a live stream, there's always ones that have happened that you can watch in rerun and comment in real time and contributors will be able to see those comments and reach right back out to you. So do what you need to do when you need to do it in the way that it feels best for you to do.

So that's how we do it here. I'm with you seven days a week. I'll be back tomorrow at 8am Central Standard Time with a little reminder that you are always already indeed enough. Hey family Sister Sled when we walk on by. Have a great Friday, y'all. We will talk to you soon. I want you no.
