Cadre Today and Bold Followership

Hey, hey, Good morning Cadre. Bleak spikes and bowling shirts racing flames and attitude rolling through your hometown with the hunger for some food. A little chill tune to get our Monday started. And I'm answering tonight. T North. How are we, my friend? That 68 Camaros, red and silver light Diners Drive Ins and Dives Living life Guy Fieri style. Diners Drive ins and Dives Live in Guy Fieri style. You know, I love Spotify and Apple music and programs like that because I just typed in Diners Drive Ins and Dives, and all of a sudden there's a song that someone named James de la Rocca wrote about the TV show Diners Drive Ins and Dives starring Guy Fieri.

Beezobits, how are you, my friend? C. you always have some music playing, but that's a weird one. Why did you tip in Diners Drive Ins and Dives into Spotify this morning? Well, first of all, let me say I hope you're doing great, everybody. But if you're not doing great, know that that is okay too. It may not feel like it, but by you showing up here, Colleen, by you showing up here, you're showing your brain, your body, your spirit, all those intangibles that fight flight response, any fatigue, any nervousness that you are on your side.

Marisa, how are you, my friend? I am full of French silk. Pie and daisies are the happiest flower in the world. So why did I play a song called Dinah's Ribbons and Dives this morning? Well, I've been watching another Guy Fieri TV show. I love me some. Some food reality television. Let me know if you love food reality television in the comments. And if you don't love food reality television, what do you like watching on the telly? And all of a sudden, I became British there for a second. What do you like watching on the telly?

So I've been watching for a long time. I've been watching. But Guy has a TV show where he, in essence, has different competitors play cooking games in a supermarket. He has his own supermarket and they get to run around. If you're of a certain age, you may remember a TV show called Supermarket Sweep. It's kind of like Supermarket Sweep. Anyways, on this television show over the last. This last season, he had a special version of this game show where three chefs had to cook on a team, but they only got 10 minutes apiece.

So one would start cooking and the next would cook. Then the last one would finish up the dish, but the other two Chefs were in isolation. They didn't know what the challenge was. They didn't know what they were supposed to be cooking. And once the first chef got done, they were put in isolation, and the second chef then would come out, and they would have to figure out what they were cooking and keep going in real time. Imagine if you had 10 minutes to run into your kitchen and your dog had started cooking.

The first 10 minutes, you're cooking the middle, and then all of a sudden, your spouse comes in to cook the last 10 minutes to finish up the dish, but you didn't know what you were cooking. You know, on Mondays, I talk a lot about the idea of following, and that following isn't a passive. It doesn't have to be a passive act. Actually, we spend the majority of our life following other ideas, other passion that people have placed in front of us. We are taught by teachers or by mentors. We follow street signs.

We follow Daylight Savings time, most of us in the United States. So all of a sudden, all these things are things we have to boldly follow and acknowledge. Now, I'll tell you, these chefs in a very, very maybe fun for some, but stressful for most reality television show, are having to go, what do I know? What do I see? Where am I going? What's going on? What do I need to accomplish? What did the person before me want me to know in order for me to be successful? That's what we call following. But let's think about the profession of chef.

You start maybe washing dishes, then you move to, you know, prepping. And then maybe you work your way up to being a sous chef. And then maybe you work up to being the executive chef at someone else's restaurant. And then maybe sooner or later, you open up your own restaurant. It's your own menu. And then you become the one who make sure that all the people in your system, because you can't do it yourself, know what to follow, know how to follow, and follow boldly. Every Monday, it's my passion right here to go ahead and give you little morsels, little Reese's pieces on the road for your ET Spirit to follow so you can walk into your life going, huh?

How would my life change if I was better at following? Well, today I shine the light on Guy Fieri and all the chefs in the world who literally, their industry is set up on the pathway of following one another. If we think about any restaurant you go to, there is one person saying, here is what this restaurant is. Here is what we cook. Here is what we do and here's how we do it. And then every other system is set up to follow one another. So if you walk in, I mean, again, I get to hear chefs share about where they got their start every day.

Because I watch a lot of reality food television. And all of them start by saying, yeah, I started washing dishes at this restaurant when I was 13, and they moved me to the chop station. Then they moved me to that, and then they moved me to that, and then sooner or later, I became a chef. And what they're saying is, I boldly and gratefully followed who was willing to lead me. And now that has led me to a Being able to lead others. No, but there's a big second part of that sentence. The second part of that sentence is, and know how to invite others to follow to where they can move forward.

Forward. And they can accomplish things together. That's why we follow, y'all. 99 of our life in the seat of follower. If you think about it, it's true, give or take a couple points. Yet we are led to believe that leading is the seat to be in. Y'all take it from Guy Fierian chefs. They know what they're talking about. Following is rad. Oh, that 68 Camaro that guy drives. The Dinos drives and dives. James de la Rocca, thank you for this song tonight. That's money. That's out of sight. Diners drive inside and dies.

Dine is drive ins and dive. Okay, a little more popular song to play us out. Tom's Diner, y'all. We'll see you later. Have a great week. Colleen and I coming in tomorrow, 3:30pm Central Standard Time for a little. You can't say that on television. A civil discourse on social media D.
