Cadre Today and Bold Followership

Well, hey there. Good morning, Cadre. How are we doing today? I hope you're doing great. I'm glad that I'm here. I'm glad that you're here. I know what I know and I care about you. That's the heart of what every single person who shares in the Cadre sphere is up to, and that includes you. Every time you jump into the community feed, every time you comment or throw a heart on a video, every time you share your perspective, what you are really saying is, I'm glad that I'm here. I'm glad you're here.

Beezle Bits. I know what I know and I care about you. On Mondays, we talk a lot about what we do with our lives. Get to the root. Rachel, how are you doing, my friend? I'm glad that you're here. I'm glad I'm here. I know what I know and I care about you. On Mondays, we talk a lot about what we do with our lives and how we can do it better, brighter, more sustainable in more joyful ways. And I always love talking about the idea of how do we follow, right? It's very common in the world to hear lead, lead, lead, be out in front, be original, be the one coming up with a new thing, do more.

And I like taking the opposite approach, saying, hey, how do we look around and see people who need support, who need another voice, who need another hand, who need us not to do something different, but to amplify the things that they are already doing? Bold followership is, I think, one of the keys to a brighter, bolder, more sustainable world. So how can we better follow? How can we better support those people and those ideas and those missions that we care about, we follow better? You know, it's something I always say.

I aspire to be someone who speaks the truth quickly. And I'll tell you, a lot of times I get dinged for it. A lot of times people mistake me attempting to be honest as being overly critical, or people get anxious around the idea that I am going to attempt to share what I'm feeling, what I'm thinking, what I'm perceiving with the intent of providing people data and perspective that then they can do something with. Nettie. Good morning, my friend. So I always love saying that I show that I'm engaged by speaking the truth quickly.

Jules, nice to see you. I didn't see a sneak on in and I want to talk about it for a moment. Speaking the truth quickly. What does that mean? Well, the interesting thing about the truth is that the truth. The truth is there. You know, how often do we hear that, you know, there's only one way through the hard stuff and that's through it, or, you know, there's only one way over a mountain and that's one step at a time. The aha about both of those analogies is that the stuff that we have to go through, the stuff is there.

It's not going anywhere. The mountain. The mountain's in front of us. We want to get to the other side of it. We can't wait until the mountain's not there, the mountain's there. The truth is the same way. The truth is something that each of us holds on to. Our perspective is our perspective. And even though it may vary, the anxiety around sharing our perspective in the moment is always going to be matched with that moment of stuff, of anxiety, of stress, of doubt. So when I say speak the truth quickly, what I'm really saying is how quickly can we show our investment, which is always on the other side of that anxiety of being with other people, of being in the thick with other people.

My invitation to you is that you share your truth quickly because it's your truth, it's your honesty, it's your perspective, it's your gift. It's something you have that nobody else does. How do you share that with others? My invitation is to do it, to do it now because the longer you wait, it doesn't get any easier. But on the other side of it, there's always something good. One of the best ways that we can follow is by sharing what we are seeing that the person in front that that leader may not see.

T North, thanks for kicking off this Monday with me. I'll go ahead and see if we can get London to shine a little bit brighter for y' all. Oh, London, London, London. Shift over to the water for a bit so you can hear. You can see what you've been hearing with those waves. Y' all have a great rest of the day and speak your truth quickly because it's not going anywhere. Have a good one.
