A morning host reflects on how small acts like showing up can brighten others' days and introduces conversations about building community, including upcoming talks with Betsy Hodges and Dr. Leslie on community weaving and development.
Good morning, Cadre. Happy Tuesday. You may not be having the best of mornings. But isn't it cool that you can, simply by walking in the room, change someone else's day for the better? That's pretty amazing.
How do we build community? How do we weave people into something bigger than themselves? In a couple of hours from Washington D.C., you're gonna get to spend some time with Betsy Hodges. Then at noon, Central standard time, you'll see Dr. Leslie talk about the building blocks of community development.
Good morning, Cadre. How are you, Cadre? Happy Tuesday. How are you? I hope you are good. Gr Joy, nice to see you. Shannon, nice to see you, my friend. As you flicker in on my screen, know that you're making my day. Think about that just for a second. You may not be having the best of mornings. You may be. I hope you are. But if you're not, that's okay too. But isn't it cool that you can, simply by walking in the room, change someone else's day for the better? That's pretty amazing. And that's what we're doing here at Cadre Sphere, right in this Cadre sphere, in this atmosphere of Cadre Cadre, special group of people with a special intention, we are providing you the opportunity to change the state of people that you know and people that you don't know.
And in the same way, other people can do that to you. Our walk in song today is Coldplay's All My Love. It's a new album. Coldplay just released another album. It's pretty wonderful. I'm not a big Coldplay fan normally, but whenever there's a new album now, it's like, oh, I want to see. I want to see what the vibe is. And the song that I played is called All My Love. And I played this song because I heard they put a live rendition of this song onto the album. And the lead singer said, hey, audience, do you want to be on the new album?
We're going to record now and they'll put it on the album and then you'll be famous. And the audience is like, yeah. And they have one part and it goes, you got all my love? That's it. You want to be on a Coldplay album, here's your line. You got all my Love? They do it like a hundred million times in this song. It's pretty cool because it doesn't get boring, it doesn't sound repetitive, but every single person in that space within one second could be a part of the thing in an integral, life changing forever, indelible way.
On Tuesdays, in the Cadre Sphere, in the live streams, what do we talk about? Things like that. How do we build community? How do we weave people into something bigger than themselves? , you're gonna get to spend some time, if it works, in your schedule, with Betsy Hodges, who literally, on a world scale just like Coldplay, and I'm not being dramatic, has impacted the world in huge ways by empowering people to do little things that weave them into the whole, into the responsibility and into the benefit of being a part of the whole.
Then at noon, Central standard time, coming from St. Louis, you'll see Dr. Leslie, who talks about the building blocks of community development, that one on one relationship. But here's the thing, right? We got live streams that may fit into your world. You may want to spend nine minutes with someone, that's cool. We have opportunities like that for you. You may want something shorter, you may want something on demand. Great. Check out the pre recorded videos. You may want the live stream, but not live.
Great. They're all here waiting for you. You may want to shout into the world in a community stream, hey, I'm here. Hey, I have a thought. Hey, I'm thinking about you. Hey, here's a quote that I heard. Here's a thing that I accomplished. Here's something that I'm struggling with. Yeah, the community feeds waiting there for you too. But my invitation for you today is twofold. Like it's a doorway. You can walk in it and other people can walk in it. How can you create easily accessible and easily executable ways of making people belong, of making people be a part of something?
How can you do that? I'll tell you. Humans are really good at complicating simplicity, at raising the bar of making it really hard for other people to be a part of things. It's what we do. Leaders out there, you do it to your employees, neighbors. You make it hard for the people who are moving in next door. And it's not malicious. It may be malicious, but most of the time it's coming from a good place. It's a place of, hey, I want you to belong. And I'm going to tell you how to belong. Because I've been here, I've done it, y'all.
Let those people join the sound, join the fabric, and in doing so, change it. If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. If you want to go ahead and create a world stage where all of a sudden you can invite a big room of people who don't know each other yet to be a part of your new album because you're Coldplay, write a melody that is so incredibly simple. I listened to this song one time, you got all my love. And all of a sudden I knew it. I would go to a Coldplay concert now and I would know one song and it's that one.
And it took me about six seconds to learn it. If I'm standing next to a die hard coldplay fan. Guess what? I may feel not enough. I may feel not a part of until this song comes on, and then I get to be a part of the thing. So wherever you are today, whatever's going on, know that the Cadre sphere is something that you are woven into. Not because you've earned it, not because you've worked hard at it, but because we are creating easily accessible ways to be a part of this thing. I hope you have a great rest of your day, everybody.
I will see you tomorrow and every single day of the week right here. So reach out if you have any questions you need someone to chat with. And in the meantime, a little cold play. I hope that gets stuck in your head. Whether it rains or pours. Can you do it again? You got all my love? And until tomorrow, have a good one. It remains.
