The host plays Leslie Odom Jr. and uses a soil metaphor to explore what catalytic element sparks personal growth, reflecting on resolution culture and the search for feeling 'enough'.
It's one of those busy weeks, isn't it? Cadre. How are you? You good? I hope you are.
A little Leslie Odom Jr. to play in our Saturday kickoff to Personal Development Saturday. There are things in the soil that are the building blocks for growth. Often we only need the galvanizing element, the shock that makes those little bits and pieces start doing what they can.
Walt: For me, I love Leslie Oldham Jr. Music. His holiday albums bring me into that space simply by turning on the music. Makes the tree in the living room or the cold air outside move from chilly to crisp. And all of a sudden the season is shocked into actuality.
On Mondays it's professional development day, on Saturdays it's personal development day. What would make that place or that thing shock into reality or into life or into action? What's the missing ingredient or element for you? Later on this morning, you'll see Kristen from Mile High City right there with you.
Well, hey, good morning, Cadre. How are you? You good? I hope you are. It's one of those busy weeks, isn't it? A little Leslie Odom Jr. To go ahead and play in our Saturday kickoff to Personal Development Saturday. We'll let it play in here for a second as people mosey into the room. Hey. Speak. Wonder. Happy Saturday. It's nice to see you, Colleen. Nice to see you, my friend. I hope the cabin is providing a sunrise unlike any other. I had to sleep down in the living room last night, and I got to see the sun through the front window.
And by golly, it was beautiful. We'll let Leslie finish out the verse here. Leslie does it in the way only Leslie can. It's snowy. Oh, the snow's up there. Speak, Wonder, what's it like in. In Mile High City? Okay, Leslie and Nicolette, we'll put to pause on you for a second. Well, happy Saturday, everybody. I really hope you're doing well, but even if you're not, that's okay, too. You may not feel like it. You may really crave to be doing better in whatever way that you wish or desire or hope for or expect.
But taking a moment to take a moment, it's always a really good sign that there's those little. Those little minerals in your soil that are being activated, that are helping you grow. I love soil. Okay, My sister is a geologist, so that's not as weird of a statement as it sounds. But I love the idea that within the dirt, there is some magic. We don't see it. It all just looks like dirt. There are things in the soil that are the building blocks for growth. Often we only need the galvanizing element, the shock that makes those little bits and pieces start doing what they can do.
So, again, a little edelweiss this morning. You may be like, what's up with Sound of Music on a Saturday morning, JC Well, Leslie recorded that song on one of his holiday albums, and I'm like, wait, Sound of Music? Holiday music? And I'm not going to dig into the dramaturgy or the history of sound and music, but Leslie gets to decide what music makes Leslie feel holiday ish. And that's the connection I want to make to kick off this personal development Saturday. So often we get ourselves the tools, the.
The resources, the elements, the ingredients to grow in the way that we want to grow. You know, maybe you did some Black Friday shopping yesterday, or maybe you're in the. The current of. Of resolution culture or the current of not enoughness, and you're always looking for the next thing that you can buy that will help you in other people's eyes, be enough, be worthy, be complete. And then like most people, because this is the way that, that collectively we kind of operate, we get the things that kind of seem like the magic pill or the.
Or the magic wand, and they end up not being magical. Don. Good morning, my friend. Nice to see. And I think the opportunity today. So think about what is the thing that shocks all of these great things into action. You know, for, for me, I love Leslie Oldham Jr. So if I can go and put on some Leslie Odom Jr. Music, it brings me into a space, into a mindset, into a season. His holiday albums, yeah, they bring me into that space simply by turning on the music. Makes the tree in the living room or the cold air that you can see outside move from being chilly to being crisp.
And all of a sudden the season is shocked into actuality. Hey, Walt. Nice to see you. So my invitation for you today is to take it one step further. I think about maybe the things you are wanting to work on in your existence. You know, I always love saying, on Mondays it's professional development day. On Saturdays, it's personal development day. What's the difference? Saturdays is the day that we talk about who we are. Mondays is the day we talk about what we do. Personal development, who we are, professional development, what we do.
You may be going, like, gosh, I want to develop who I am in X way. So you buy the thing or you go to the place, you may not feel it, and you may give yourself a hard time for that. My invitation is what would make that place or that thing shock into reality or into life or into action. You know, how often do you hear people say, ah, it doesn't feel like the holidays until fill in the blank. You could clap back at them and be like, what do you mean it doesn't feel like the holidays yet? There's all the things that are going on that are very holiday ish.
And you may go, yeah, but it's not until I have my first peppermint mocha of the year that all the things start being holiday ish. What's the missing ingredient or element for you? Those little minerals that are sitting in the soil that are waiting to fuel the plant that will grow strong and weather storms and years. It'll grow into trees and roots and branch branches. Often it's the sun, often it's the rain. Often it's the creatures that stomp on the soil that break them into action. What is your sun?
What is your rain? Who are your creatures? Stomping you into action. Things to think about today. Later on this morning, you'll see Kristen from Mile High City right there with you. Speak Wonder. And then heading to the west coast to see Mr. Dan Griffin to move through all of our live streams. But hey, if you're not a live streamer, you don't have to be here in the Cadre sphere. We got all the pre recorded content you could ever desire. What do we just figured out? 30,000 hours of content. It's pretty amazing, y'all.
And we're just getting started. We are grateful for you, everybody. And I will see you tomorrow. Have a good one, Snow and love.
