Monday Motivation

69. Morning, Cadre family. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Hope everybody's having a great start to their Monday. You had a weekend where you could recover, recharge, recalibrate. Good morning, everybody. Good morning. Good morning. Hope everybody is doing exactly what they intend to do today with purpose and passion again. My name is Luke Wendtland. I've been at Cadre since day one. I love this place. I love this community. This is everything to me. I love being here for you all. Good morning.

Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Speak Wonder. Good morning, Hennessy. I love you, man. Good morning to all the people showing up. So I just. I wanted to share two things today. Number one, I hope everybody had an opportunity this weekend to recharge, recalibrate, do something for you, do something specifically for you to be able to bring yourself back to whole. Sometimes it's like we go and we race and we go and we race consistently all week long. And I hope you had the opportunity to sit in this weekend with, for a little bit of you time to be able to bring yourself back to where you need to be today and feeling just so good heading into the week.

But I wanted to share my truth and I wanted to share my truth with y' all. I had a moment this week where I fell into total imposter syndrome. And I know that that's super cliche and it's just used a lot lately is imposter syndrome and comparing yourself and am I good enough? And all those other things, but I started this podcast, right? So I started this podcast with. It's called Mental Wealth. It's on Cadre. It's only on Cadre. And I had episode one and episode two. And really, I mean, speaking my truth, literally, right before we were about to go, I'm in my vehicle and I'm talking to myself and I'm preparing myself with self talk.

And I'm like, at first, I was. My mind went to, am I good enough to do this right? I just, I just, you know, two days ago or whatever, a week ago, I just had the opportunity to listen to Ally Kaplan, who is known around the Twin Cities business circles, et cetera, and her interview with the guests for Twin Cities Wellness and Work. And I was listening to her interview process and going back and forth and how she kind of, like, led the conversation and churned it here and turned it there. And I'm like, oh, my gosh, she's so good.

She's so good. And so right before the podcast, I'm going, am I good enough? Am I good enough? Can I do this? Can I, can I lead? Can I host? Can I, can I take this message and make sure that it represents the individual really, really well? Do I interrupt? Will I do this? Like, so my mind went to all these different places and then I stopped and I paused and I thought to myself, this is where my self talk came in. I'm like, of course you can. You've interviewed countless individuals for job applications, for job opportunities.

You've led how many board meetings, you've led all the director meetings. You've. You've had countless coffees and conversations with individuals where you're going deep with individuals, talking about Cadre, asking them questions, who they are, what they are. So I'm like, I, I, I'm built for this. I can do this. Like, this is me. Like, I can take on this podcast. Not only can I take this on, I can crush it, but it's, it's crazy how we have this little bit of self doubt and we have this little bit of self doubt that crept in and I got to the point where I'm like, it was right before, it was about an hour before.

I'm like, should I cancel? Am I good enough? Can I do this? And immediately I was like, okay, reframe. Yeah, you are. You got this. You can do this. Not only can you do this, but it's going to be great. It's going to be awesome. You're going to go to where you want to go. You're going to open up the conversation to places that otherwise nobody else can go to. You're born for this. So what I'm trying to tell you all is this. I guarantee there's a lot of people listening right now that know exactly what I'm talking about, that know exactly how I'm feeling.

And it's like, oh, you know, you fake it till you make it, blah, blah, blah. No, I, that's not, that's not me. Like, I don't want to fake it till I make it. I want to be really great at what I do. I want to be really great at what I do. I want to be a professional. I want to take this to the next level and I want to make sure that the message for each individual that I get the privilege to be able to interview goes like this. And it keeps getting better and better and better and I keep getting better and I keep becoming more well rounded as a house, as a host.

So with that being said, I just want to share that those, those thoughts are human no matter who you are, where you are, at any level, at any capacity, in anything in life. So Mark Hennessy says, let's go, Luke. Dr. Green, you're the best. That's all I gotta say. I cannot wait till your next segment again. Speak Wonder. You're absolutely right. Reframe or calibrate T North. Good morning. Good morning to you. You should call me Terry 651-909-66664. Again, Terry 9651-909-66664. It looks like you're having a little trouble with the search.

I can certainly help you, walk you through that. I'd love to do that for you. Mark says, I felt exactly the same way. I want to tell you, you were incredible, Mark. Your message, your authenticity, you're boldly honest. It was one of my favorite moments, period. It was phenomenal. Thank you for giving me the privilege to hear your story. The world is going to hear it soon. Here on Cadre, Mark Hennessy was my guest. Thank you, Mark. Thank you for being here. I love you, man. I can't wait to listen to it back and just again, take it all in.

Because like sometimes when I'm there, it's almost like you black out for a minute because you're so like ingesting the information at once. So thank you, thank you, thank you for, for sharing that Mark spell. As you know, I said I felt exactly the same way. Healing with Dr. Green. Focus on what will help and not what may happen. That's another one of your gold nuggets, as always. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And T North says we'll do cut to call. Please do. I look forward as always, to a wonderful week here at Cadre.

I can't wait to see what's to come from all of our live streams. And you know, the pre recorded content that just keeps coming in and sifting through, you know, our viewership or our lens to be able to take in what you want, how you want. Again, I just want to point out two features. There's the search feature looks like a little magnet flying glass up in the top right by Cadre. On the app, you can search anything and anything that has those keywords in it, whether it's a post, whether it's a video, whether it's a live stream, will pull immediately into the feed.

That's number one. Number two, where you see your little picture of yourself, it has the Cadre Companion. Ask the Cadre Companion. That's an AI feature. You can ask it. I'm stressed. What do I do. Work is too tough for me today. Da da da da. It is truly an AI feature that you can use at any time to be able to help and support you. In fact, I showed somebody last night. I was at the Timberwolves game and I showed somebody last night. Let me show you the AI feature. I said, I am stressed. I'm at the T.

Wolves game. What should I do? It said, take a couple deep breaths, Take a walk if you need to. But it's just interesting how you can use it in real time, which is really great. Exactly what we're looking for, because we want Cadre to always be the help you need when you. When you need it, how you need it, why you need it, for whatever you need. So take care, you guys. Have a wonderful, wonderful week. I just wanted to speak my truth about, you know, being a podcast host for here for Cadre, when it's something I've never done before and I'm learning.

And as. As anybody who really, really knows me knows, like, I want to do something really, really well or I don't want to do it at all. And, you know, so I'm trying to always go, how can I go from kindergarten to being a PhD? Not overnight, but fast. Right? So just really, really super fast. How can I go from a kindergarten to fourth grade to a senior to college to a PhD? And expediting that time frame and learning is really fun. So AI via Cadre Companion. Need a great non El caption quick. Yeah, that's.

I love it. I love it. I love it. They should. Yeah, by all means, use the Cadre Companion. Check her out. But everybody, have a wonderful day. And what's more, even have a great week. And you know what we always say is lift somebody up. You know, there's somebody here in the Cadre sphere, There's somebody in your life, there's somebody at work, there's somebody that you're running in circles with that I guarantee you could use a little extra love this week. Okay, take care of you guys. Thanks for listening in.

And I, too, am an imposter. All right, take care, you guys. Thank you. Bye.
