Ask Me ANYTHING And Exciting News!

Good evening, Cadre Sphere. It's Luke Wendtlandlit here. Just got done with a little run. Oh, boy, did that feel good. I hope everybody had a wonderful Thursday. Wrapping up the week for some individuals that are done naturally on Friday. If you're working through the weekend, not only do we thank you, but you have a great weekend as well. Or I should say, you should have a good stretch coming up on maybe the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, whatever, your days are off. But again, my name is Luke Wentlant.

I'm the founder of Cadre. I wanted to jump in tonight. I just, I really haven't done a Night Live in a while and I just wanted to show up for y'. All. So I just wanted to be here and say hi. I have some amazing news, some exciting announcements that I want to share, which is really cool. You can't do this without a good team. So we'll start out that and then, and then. You ready for this? I've never done a ask me anything session. So if you have anything on your mind or anything that you feel is just something that is, you know, driving you or a question that you have or anything, just light it up and I will answer it and I will answer it authentically.

I'll answer it vulnerably and I'll answer it honestly. So, but I just want to share this. Number one, we have. You cannot do this. You can't do entrepreneurship. You can't build something like this without an amazing team. So first out, I want to give some shout outs, I want to give some shout outs to the team that have, that have had almost two years or over two years or at two years. So here are some people I want to shout out to. Ana, over two years for JC, over two years for the amazing Shannon getting close to two years and Dr.

Shareese hit her two year mark. So I just want to thank, I just want to thank this team so much. Those individuals that have believed and stayed and enjoyed the duration of Cadre through the best times, the worst times, the building, all, all of it, none of it is easy. So number one, I want to shout out the squad. Number two, we have contributors on this group that are absolutely off the chart, amazing, that are doing some amazing stuff. I get to see what's going on in LinkedIn, in their life and their worlds.

I get to see what's going on in other places. I get to see what's going on and what they're doing and affecting their communities and, and a part of it. So I just want to Share. You know, from Dr. Leslie Davis to Dr. Jessica Green to Lindsey Heiserman to Craig Thielen and his one percent Better podcast, you name it. There is so many people. And I could just keep going on and on and on and sharing, but that's up to you to figure it out because you're going to have to start doing some research with these folks because they're off the charts amazing.

I just want to tell you that. All right, now, these people that go live, these contributors, I'm telling you, are wonderful, incredible people that are doing so much good in the world. And I just want to highlight them. And I want to not only tell them, I see you, but it is flipping amazing. You know, Jason Lennox walking 307 miles, coming up here in a couple weeks. So I should say a month down in West Virginia, Ohio, for 307,000 individuals that lost their lives to alcoholism, overdose or suicide, dying by suicide.

So you talk about just like, making moves and doing some amazing things. So I just want to highlight this group of contributors and say, I love you. I am a fanboy of all the things that are happening. Dr. Leslie Davis, you're absolutely incredible. Thank you. Thank you, Luke, for providing the space for us to be great. You are great. You're off the charts. I love your time on. I believe it's still Tuesdays at noon, but your time is special to me. I try to watch it every week if I can. If I can, I watch it on replay.

But at any rate, so with all of these contributors, many of them are signed up to do coaching. Okay, so many of these folks are signed up to do coaching. What does that mean? You can see some of your favorite contributors and get to know them. The relatable authenticity. They're vulnerable, they're sharing, they're going deep. They're doing all this. Now you have the opportunity. Think about this. Now you have the opportunity to actually sign up and get coaching from some of your favorite people.

Where can you do that? Somebody, anybody, where can you do that? Like, you can watch and gain insight and gain intel and. And help and try things and all of this, but then get coaching, okay? It is super simple. On the individuals that offer coaching, right? On their profiles, it literally says help. Now get coaching. And then through the process, if you have any struggles, fumbles with that, please just reach out to us. We'll make sure that you will absolutely get what you need, when you need it, how you need it.

Newfie lover sue says, is there a cost to coaching? There is, but what I Will tell you is it's very affordable in the marketplace, but you can also start with free group coaching. So we offer free group coaching in some, some segments of Cadre where Nikki Millette and her team offers. Like I think I attended the one, I want to say it's like three weeks ago and it was Rick Cram, Lindsey Heiserman, Betsy Hodges and they were all going through their and that was all free and we had the opportunity to go through the free process and it was a one hour coaching session and that was amazing and I learned a lot.

And Betsy Davis went over her rules of engagement. It was remarkable. So I just want to share that there is that free group coaching. But, but the individualized coaching, the individual coaching is $195 and that is per hour for the coaches. So it's $195. We are going to start offering 30 minute packages and then we're going to start offering packages where it's like three to eight sessions and stuff like that. So you could even pick and choose. But Nikki's going to be coming out with all those new changes and so I just hope you all have seen the, you know, the evolvement and the development of Cadre and where it is and where it's going.

And I'm sorry, I'm still sweating a little bit from my run here this evening. Okay, so I went over the team, highlighted the team. We got the most badass, wonderful group of people from all of the internal folks to the contributors and coaches, just off the charts, love them, wanted to go over coaching, highlight coaching. If you want to dip your toe, go into group coaching, like learn through the group coaching. If you want more and you feel like you need your person, by all means we could drive that and help and support.

If you have any trouble getting in, signing up, you name it, please let us know and we'll help you. I promise we'll get that done. Next, let's say for instance you watched a live stream or prerecorded content and you loved it and you want to share it with somebody. Guess what? You can. So on any pre recorded or live streamed piece of content, right in the feed, there's the three dots on the left hand side of the video. You can click on those three dots and it'll say share video. You can share that video in text, you can share that video on LinkedIn, you could share that video on social, you could share that video in a email, you can share that video however you want to share that.

So it's super exciting. Because there might be somebody that you loved and just had an awesome message or you want to share it in your own newsletter, whatever it is. So at any rate, I think that it's super cool that that opportunity is available for you. We worked and worked and worked to be able to build that for you all. To share content to your loved ones and your people. Okay, are you ready for this? Next is. We've built the sort feedback. So up on the top of the feed, when you land on Cadre, right up in the top right, it looks like almost like a.

It almost looks like a thermometer on the far right side and it'll say like feed. I think it even says sort feed maybe. And you can choose between videos, posts, live streams, you name it. And I'm gonna tell you there's a lot more coming with this. So where you're gonna be able to actually choose and select in between communities, in between the main feed on the most viewed videos, the most viewed content, the most liked content and you. So you could go to like substance abuse and go in and do the exact same thing and find the most watched videos, down to the least watched videos to be able to ensure that you can find what you want, when you want it, how you want to.

Okay. Of course there's the Cadre companion that you can continue to connect with and in case you want to ask questions, that is our AI version of just real time help that gives you practical and tacticals. Okay, so I'm just going to quickly hit here. The day of the week means nothing to me anymore. Oh my gosh. I love that Thursday means nothing. 1% better says, hey buddy, first live Luke session. Let's go. Let's see. Next one here. Jules. Good evening. Good evening to you, Newfie Sue. I love Sue.

Happy Thursday to you too. 1% better says we have an amazing team. I would second that. This team here is absolutely world class. They're passionate, obsessed and supportive. Jules says, woo woo. Sherry Recovery Cafe. Who's equally as a wonderful, dynamic human being, Dr. Leslie Davis. Thank you, Luke for providing the space. You are amazing. Let's see. Heidi. I'm in. Wisdom is priceless. I love that you're here, Rachel. I would love to do something like this. Helping people, people but don't have the work experience.

Lots of life though. I'm not much of an on camera person though. I'm working on that. But if there's a way I can help, please reach out. How about this? I'm in fact, what about a way to Edit or delete comments on live streams. Hey, thank you. I love that idea. I will pass that on to the tech. Thank you, Rachel, so much for sharing that. How about this, Rachel? I will give you my personal email and you can reach out and we'll find some way that you can. Is there any way I can help out? Yes, there will be.

Ready for this? So it's Luke. L u k edre C a D R E I O Reach out and I promise you I will find a way to support you in that. What about a way to edit or delete live streams? I will make sure that I will find a way to talk to tech and figure that out for you. Okay, 1%. But three questions. What is your biggest challenge, your biggest learning, and what are you most excited about? Oh, my gosh. This is good. I love it. I love it. I love it. Okay, three questions. What is your biggest challenge? My biggest challenge right now is knowing that I'm in a season that I don't want to be in, but I know I have to be there, so bear with me when I say this.

So my biggest challenge right now is if I could live the life I would want to live, I would spend a lot of the day on the treadmill. I'm just kidding. But I would. I love movement. I love movement a lot. I try to get as much steps in as I possibly can. For three straight years, I ran a half marathon every single weekend. And I do it for my mental health. Like, I love doing it for my mental health. It's not an ego thing. It's not a, you know, embrace the suck thing. It's not. It is. I love to do it for my anxiety.

I love to walk. I love to see the world. Sometimes I just take off my shoes and just connect with nature and ground. Thank you so much, Heidi, for sending me that and reminding me how important that is. But my biggest challenge is I'm in a season where I can't do that right now. So what do I need to do is accept the fact that I'm going to be here now, but I'll get out of here and I'll do it again in the future. So that's my biggest challenge, is not being where I want to be right now, but that's okay, and I have to live here.

What is my biggest learning? My single biggest learning is this. My single biggest learning in the world is this. There are people in your life that will be around for a little bit, and that's okay. Let me say that again. There are people in your life that will be around for a little bit, and that's okay. That's not negative for them, and it's not negative for you. It's just if you want to go where you want to go and you want to take this life to new heights and grow to new places, you are going to enter different rooms with different people, and that's okay.

In some individuals, it's like the old rocket ship analogy, as the farther you go up, sometimes there's part of the rocket that drops and then there's a little bit more of the rocket that drops and a little bit more of the rocket that drops, and finally there's this little, little, little bit that's left, and it is up to the top, and that's where it takes to go. But I just want to again reiterate that it's not using people, they're not using you. It's just the growth through it. It's just the growth through the evolution of, like, some of the best people I knew were in my twenties, until they weren't.

Some of the best people I knew were my early 30s, until I wasn't, then they weren't. Some of the best people I knew were in my late 30s. And some of the best people I know today are in my 40s. And I'm learning and I found, like, my circle has got so much smaller, and not only am I okay with it, I love it. So. And I love where I'm at. So the little bits is just super important. Okay, so I'll answer that one. And then what am I most excited about? I am obsessed. Not obsessed, but I'm in deep love with my wife.

We have an amazing family, our kids, you name it. So I'm always excited about my family. And it's not a But when I say this, that's my personal side. My professional side is I am beyond thrilled to be a part of Cadre. I cannot tell you how happy and joyous and energizing I get to be a part of this. This is what brings me so much excitement and joy and love. And I am here for this community. I'm here for you all. But most importantly, I'm here for myself. Because, you know, as somebody with generalized anxiety disorder, panic attacks, suffered with alcohol for a while, depression, all the above.

Like, I'm learning every day from somebody, somebody on here. I'm like, ooh, that was a good one. I'm going to give that a go. Or this was something interesting. How can I implement that? Not taking all the advice because you'd just be trying all these things, but little nuggets that you grasp and you grow from and you're like, ooh, that was good. So that's important to me. I'm always willing to help any way I can. Thank you so much. Oh, here's a good question. When is the next in person meet and greet?

How about we say this? We'll do it in Q4. Okay. I will have something with the team in Q4 that is October, November, December. So sometime in October, November, December, we'll do something in Minnesota and we'll make sure that it's not only in the newsletter. We'll go live about it, we'll present it, we'll share it, but something October, November, December in Minnesota. And let's do something fun. Let's do something fun as a group get together. Maybe a little sauna. Maybe a little something like that.

We could even do a sauna, cold plunge with some time together. Who knows? But we'll think of something fun in Minnesota. So that will be for sure. That season would be four to five months that are too hot to be outside for more than five minutes. That season would be four to five months that are too hot to be outside for more than five minutes. So you must be from somewhere in Phoenix or Arizona or something. Something around that area. I like that 1% better. You are my steps per day hero. I try to do the best I can.

I'm always trying to. My aim goal is always 20,000 steps a day. I just love it because it makes me happy inside. It gives me think tank time. It allows me to feel good about myself. Ooh, Texas. Rachel's from Texas. I wonder what part of Texas you're in. Austin. Austin or San Antonio, El Paso area where I wonder where you're about. But steps are always feel good. And like I said, think tank time is the most important for me with steps. Well said, my friend. Growth and elevation, that's what it's all about, Sherry.

It's what we do. Recognizing those little bits is huge. You better believe it. Texas. Oh, Dallas. You got that right. 1% better. Thanks for sharing. Your authenticity, energy, wisdom and humility is inspiring. But what I will tell you this is my 1%, 1% better is it wasn't always that way. I lived a fake and phony and not me life for a while until you just get over it, right? And you realize like what actually really makes you happy, what drives you and what inspires you and what motivates you. And then you always, like, you always try to say, like, can you.

Can you kill your clone? What do I mean by can you kill your clone? Can you kill the person you were the day before and the week before and the month before and the year before and the five years before? And I always say, like, am I. Could I be non indistinguishable from the person I was 15 years ago? And the hope is I am. And then I hope that the person I am five years from now, like, couldn't recognize the person I was five years ago, that I just keep improving as a person, as a teammate, as a husband, as a father, as a colleague, as a friend, as somebody that I want to be and continue to want to be, but also realize, like, that I have.

I have many, many mistakes, and I'm so imperfect. And, you know, the best part about is having people in your circle that tell you the truth and will tell you, like, you really missed or you failed here, or, you know, dad, your parenting style wasn't great on that. Or a wife that puts you in your place. That can be a good thing. And I believe that with all my heart. So thank you guys for showing up. We have some amazing things, like I said, from the team that's been here, the coaching that's taking place, the video features that are happening, and all I'm going to say is this.

Just wait for the next couple months. That's all I'm going to tell you. Yes, that's a cliffhanger. Just wait. Wait till you see what's happening in the communities. Wait till you see what teammate of mine, Shannon has in store for what she's rolling out and implementing and integrating with the tech squad in communities. It's going to absolutely blow your mind. It's so exciting. We have an amazing team that's doing some wonderful things, and I'm going to crush a couple more steps here before the night is over.

And I want to share one thing. So if you haven't thought I was a dork before, just wait till you see this. So this is my son and I's card collection. Yep. You see that, right? So this is all of the cards that he's been collecting and I've been collecting over the years. And we always kind of mess around with our card collections and we go through it, and is that not the dumbest thing and craziest thing that you've heard? But we're nerds and we love it and we love doing it together, and it's something that we connect on and share together.

So hopefully you have something like that that you love with your son, daughter, mom, dad, relative, cousin, whatever that is. And there is my little spot that I love to spend a lot of time. We have a TV here as well and then the ping pong table. And then this is just my little kind of home away from home here in the garage that I love spending time at and trying to make myself the best I can be. And then there's the big a** calendar with things that I have on the calendar for the year. And this is home for me in the garage that I have.

Kind of not a man cave but it's where I love to spend my time with my family and also get my mental health and wellness on. So hopefully you have that spot in your place. Like I said, we've transformed a garage into basically another room in our house and we absolutely love it. So this is us, this is the Wendlands. And good, bad or indifferent, it's who we are. So sending love to you all. Thanks for showing up. I love you guys. If you ever need anything, please reach out. That's what I'm here for.

Take care and thank you. Thank you for showing up and I promise to fulfill on the things that I talked about. Bye. Bye.
