Cadre Today- Bold Followership

Seem so proud. Let's sing. Ready? How does it feel? How does it feel? Like a rolling stone. Here we go. Hey, Andy Mack. How are you doing today, my friend? Happy, happy Monday. Rachel. Nice to see you, Emily. Got a little Bob Dylan playing in the background. Today we got a special guest. This is Hamilton. Good morning. Good morning. Cadre T. North. Nice to see you, my friend. All right, I'll put the paws on the Dylan. Little Bob Dylan to play us in on this Monday. Bob Dylan from Hibbing, Minnesota.

And we got Mr. Hamilton here joining us for a little Cadre today. We are glad that you are here. We know what we know. We care about you. It's hard to do from a we. Let me try it again. I'm glad I'm here. I'm glad you're here. I know what I know and I care about you. And I care about Hamilton as well. Rachel, tell your therapist if they want a hoodie as well, to let me know what size. Maybe you can surprise them with a little gift. Shoot me a message if you want an enoughness hoodie for your therapist.

And I can get one in the mail to you. Well, hey everybody. Happy, happy Monday, July 14th. By golly, we're almost halfway through this month. On Mondays, I always talk about this idea of following boldly. If we step out of the dance, Amy and you get down. I'm gonna stay here a little bit longer. Okay. If we step out of the dance of the world and think about the things we say and the way we say them often sometimes we see things change, like for some reason. We often put followership following as a lesser act than leading.

But in reality, you know, one of the big quotes of followership is leaders need followers more than followers need a leader. There's lots of things to. There's lots of things to follow in this world. Yet if you don't have anybody following you, you're not much of a leader. So this idea of how do we maximize this state of following, which is where every single person spends the majority of their life following, encompasses listening and collaborating and learning and growing and playing and being curious and being courageous.

All of these things acts of following. And the great Bob Dylan, like a rolling stone once said, you're going to have to serve somebody. You're going to have to be in the space of someone else's influence. It's what we do, right? We're moved, we're motivated, we make choices. So if you're going to have to serve somebody, if you're going to have to Follow somebody, you better take some time to think about who that's going to be and how you're going to follow. Is the person that you're going to follow someone who, who you agree with, or is it going to be the person that everybody else agrees with?

Or is that something you're going to have to decide again and again and again based on the situation and how you follow? Are you going to follow passively? Are you going to just follow whatever they tell you to do? Or are you going to go ahead and stand up and ask thoughtful questions? Are you going to follow until. Until they do something you don't like, and then you're just going to sit down in the dirt and go, nope, I'm done. Are you going to go, hey, I'm going to give you information that gets us back on track.

I'll offer you this today. If you want to influence the world, if you want to change the world, if you want to further the things that you care about really, consciously, every single moment, choose. Choose who you're following and how you're following them. Because the world needs us to follow. The world needs us to actively engage in the process of doing things together. That's what we're doing right here in the Cadre sphere. And we're risking to say that there are professionals and peers outside of ourselves who may have information or insight or inspiration that that's going to bring us somewhere.

That's going to be the puzzle piece that we need right now. No matter where you are, no matter what's going on, this Cadre, this special group of people with a special intention, and that special intention is bringing to the world a pathway that has many, many directions, showing that there's lots of ways to be. Well, you are a part of that. My friends, we are thankful for your leadership, for when you're leading, for your followership, when you are following, and the dance in between. So on behalf of Mr.

Hamilton here, our special MVP, and myself, I hope you have a great Monday and we'll see you tomorrow with a miss. But now you realize he's not selling any alibis as you stand in the vacuum.
