Bonus Saturday- Why Cadre Matters To Me

All right. Hello, everybody in the Kaisersphere. So today is a fifth Saturday, and my schedule is such that I have four. Four Saturdays kind of planned out. So a fifth Saturday is a bonus Saturday. And I feel like we really kind of got the Savor theme covered. So what I wanted to do was just talk a little bit about Cadre, and I've been doing it for over a year now, and why it matters and why. Whether it's Cadre that matters, the contributors that matter, or just the whole idea of a revolution within this social media space.

And why that matters? Because the first thing is I have started doing some stuff on TikTok for the first time, and it's been interesting. It's been a business challenge for me. So I'm posting every day for 77 days, and I think I'm like, halfway through, and I've actually been using TikTok less interestingly as a result of that. But I think the other thing is, it's like, you know, scrolling through TikTok, you know, even with a fairly clean algorithm that I have, it's a complete crapshoot as to whether or not I'm gonna get something completely like, like, what the did you send this to me for?

Or, you know, like, I mean, yeah, it's all over the board, right? And. And the thing is, is that I'm much less vulnerable than a lot of people to that content, and yet I'm still vulnerable. So then I think of Cadre, and I think of when I first learned about it from my friend Nick. If you do walks with Nick ever, Nick Hanson. And started my own kind of journey of, like, looking into this and what it could be. And platforms like Instagram and TikTok and others, they make a lot of sense, but they're inundated with bs and they are inundated with just a whole gamut of stuff.

Some good, some not so good, and. And then there's Cadre, right? And then what's the intention behind that? Mental health, personal growth, transformation, supporting everybody's kind of opportunity for that, and then having contributors who have their own kind of niche ideas and content to share that. Like, what's the downside to that? Now, you probably still need to be mindful of how much time somebody spends on it, and you probably need to be mindful, you know, of use probably more than anything.

But the content, you know, I mean, it's just wonderful content on here from wonderful people who are really a vast array of topics and expertise. And so, like, I think about, like, there's that there's that great line. There's nothing, nothing in the world is either good or bad. But only thinking that makes it so. And in many ways it's also like in how we use things, that makes a decision, right. And how we use it. There are people who use social media for, I don't know, very unhealthy purposes.

I have been on TikTok at night, like after 11, I don't know, something happens after 11 and all of a sudden my algorithm is different and I'm getting stuff where I'm like, what the. Like what is happening? I. It's even happening. I'm never on Facebook anymore, but I get on Facebook, I get these. I'm like watching something on Facebook. I don't know, it's like a short or something. And all of a sudden this thing pops up and it's a woman. It's a woman. And she's. What is she doing? She's milk from her breast.

And then her other breast is exposed. And they're sending that to me. And I keep getting that ad and I'm just a little confused about how I got in that algorithm. But they're also doing the picture in a way that is definitely meant to be sensual, if not sexual. So what's my point? Well, you're not going to see ads like that on Cadre. And my point is you're not going to. We might have conversations about sex on Cadre. I certainly have been having some conversations about sex, but the real, legitimate, healthy, informed, mature conversations.

And that's needed and that's important. And so we find all of this space, right? We find all of this space. There's incredible amount of space for healthy conversations, for healthy interaction, for healthy content. And Cadre, I think, is really, really going to prove to be something special. That's why I've stayed with it. That's why I'm staying with it, because it matters. There are few things that I go out of my way to make sure that I'm here at 1:30 every Saturday Pacific time. I have left volleyball tournaments in the middle of the tournament to do it.

I have been shopping with family on vacation to do my live streams. And that matters to me because that's part of the commitment and that's part of what I think is what I. My relationship to Cadre and hopefully my contribution. So it's wonderful to see some people on here. Happy Saturday. Good afternoon. So those are my thoughts about Cadre. And you probably have your thoughts. And I know some of you who are on right now are contributors as well. And, you know, I think there's value to just really making it known.

Not on. On Cadre. Right. Because we're just talking to ourselves a little bit, but also letting people know on other social media and, you know, every newsletter I have talks about Cadre and it goes out I don't know how many thousands of people. But the reason that that's important is because people at least need a choice. At least need to know they have a choice. In, garbage, in, garbage, out. Good stuff. In, good stuff out. Cadre is good stuff. So on that note, happy Saturday, happy end of August.

See you later.
