Happy Monday, everybody. Happy Monday. We'll give it a minute here till individuals roll in. Just finished out a workout with my. My kiddos. It was amazing. Had a really, really intense 45 minutes. Hope everybody else is having a wonderful Monday today. So here we are, Monday motivation. I usually always go live first thing Monday morning around 8am Sometimes schedules work, sometimes they don't. It is what it is. So we are here and I'm excited about that and sometimes it's the best you can do. And I always listen to my.

The brain and my voice that's telling me, jc, jc Saying you're enough. And that's okay. So, so good to be here, everybody. Live for Monday mornings now, Monday evenings, Monday day, whatever. It might be good to see everybody edge. For those that don't know Chris Edge, if you search on this app, Chris Edrington. Edrington. Just type in Chris E. Search his name. I would argue one of the most incredibly knowledgeable individuals in the recovery space I've ever met. So if you're ever interested in listening to somebody who's a genius through lived experiences and whatnot, please search Chris Edrington on the app.

His content will live forever. Brilliant man. So again, my name is Luke Wendtland. Been here since day one. Sorry. Just. Sorry. Shannon saying the Sweat Band. Yep, it's intense. But my kids and I just got done with the workout. Big workout. I love it. It's what we do on some nights is we do 15 minutes. 15 minutes, 15 minutes. So you go from weights 15 minutes to the next 15 minutes of running and then the last 15 minutes of the bike, and then we switch. So, like, Drew will start on the bike, I'll start at weights, Camman will go on the bike, and then we'll just rotate and then we go through 15, 15, 15.

So an intense 45 minutes. And we're just yelling in there. Come on, let's go. Three minutes left. It's the best. And I just love my kids just kind of pressing themselves a little bit here. So again, Monday. Feel very blessed today. I do every day. But. But say I really feel blessed, you know, to have an opportunity to rub shoulders with some amazing individuals at Cadre, seeing what they're doing, how they're doing it, as they each take ownership of their respective niches of this business. Then, you know, I don't want to say silos, because I don't like that they're niche within the business.

Silo means it's like you don't work with anybody else. So I love their niche and they're just amazing. Great team, great people, fun things happening here and beyond. We got some really exciting news. We got a newsletter coming out in a couple days here. Be on the lookout for that newsletter. Please take a couple minutes to read it. And why is we agreed today to do the Cadre Coffee catch ups. So Cadre Coffee Ketchup. So every Friday morning from 7:30 to 9am I'm usually here anyhow. It's where I love to start my mornings.

It's a coffee shop downtown Minneapolis. It's right on the north side. It's called Fragment, Fragment Coffee Shop. So we'll have our first coffee, Cadre Ketchup. And if you're you know, kind of like struggling in life, if you're high on life, if you're frustrated, if you're happy, if you're sad, if you're angry, if you're dealing with something at work, if you just don't know why you're even there but you're showing up, if maybe you're a little lonely and you know, just trying to meet with like minded individuals, just come and hang out.

But at least there will be at least a few people there no matter what. Each and every Friday from Cadre. And what I hope happens is a couple more people come and a couple more people come and a couple more people come and you know, before you know it, maybe you will take over that Fragment Coffee Shop with just a bunch of Cadre folks that are coming and sharing life experiences and some might, some people might come together and get to know other folks and you know, like I said, start sharing, start doing whatever that works for them.

Have a cup of coffee and say hi. So Cadre Ketchups. Cadre Coffee ketchups will be starting this Friday. There'll be in the newsletter. I can't wait. Ana says she can't wait. I can't wait either. No matter what, I will be there. So when and where? Coffee. So there's this place in Minneapolis, it's on the north side. It's called Fragment Coffee. Fragment Coffee. And be careful because there's two of them that are really close. One's on Washington Avenue and one is on Main Street. So it's in the River Place building.

The river place building. Fridays, 7:30 to 9:00'. Clock. H*** or high water. When you sign up for something like this. I will be there and I hope you're there. I hope other people are there. And you know, if it's 20 minutes and that's all you got, awesome. If you can Stay longer. Cool, but h*** or High Water, 7:30 to 9:00', clock, we will be there. River Place building. It's this big beautiful green building right on Main Street. There's an old, it's right on the north side of the river, downtown Minneapolis.

Really great place. So just wanted to share that. Really looking forward to that. Also, we got a newsletter coming out. I referenced that earlier in this live stream. So please, please, please, if you get an opportunity to review that, take a look for it. If you can't see here where that coffee catch up is going to be. But for those individuals out of town and sometime you'd like to meet up with some of your Cadre companions here, your Cadre people, your Cadre teammates, your Cadre folk that you see, livestreams, you name it.

My hope is we can get as many contributors to keep showing up to these Friday Cadre coffee catch ups, which will be amazing. So if that works for you all in your schedules and you have the opportunity to be able to do that, please do so. Just want to end today by saying like, you know, myself and my kids do 15, 15, 15. You don't have to do that. You might be able to do three, three, three, right? Where you go walk for three minutes. You maybe do a couple sit ups for three minutes and maybe a couple push ups for three minutes.

But all I just want to say is this, like, you know, sometimes you have stressful days, sometimes there's a lot going on and you set up a little bit of time for yourself and then doing it with others. It was just really kind of like one of the highlights of my day today is to see my kids kind of struggle a little bit. You know, Cam was struggling at his run. You know, this little kid is a freak, you know, at eight years old and he's running at nine miles an hour and he's struggling. You can, you know, see him and I'm like, you got it, buddy.

You can do anything for two minutes, you can do anything for three minutes. And you know, pushing each other out of that comfort zone is, I think, a really good thing for each other and for us. And so maybe that comfort zone for you is this Friday Cadre coffee catch up and you're gonna put yourself out there to go meet some new people and go hang out for a cup of coffee. And if that is the case, I usually always wear my white Cadre hat. So if you're looking for where the people are, just come look for us and we'll be there.

And you are going to be more than welcome in our circle, maybe some circles of this life you're not. You'll be more than welcome in ours. And who knows where the conversations might go, but I promise it'll be fulfilling. Hopefully a little bit of humor and maybe you're even to the point of your life of like, I need to talk to somebody, I need to talk to somebody else. Or maybe is therapy the right answer? Is coaching the right answer is my son needing an intervention with depression, anxiety or substance abuse is blank, blank, blank.

But you will have no shame, no stigma, no nothing. With us. You can come and just open up and blurt it out and we're going to be like, we're here for you. So that's where we're starting. It's going to be something new. And who knows where the coffee ketchups might go to, you know, not even Minnesota, but, you know, around the country, who knows? But we're going to start here and we're going to start in our backyard. And I hope for those individuals out of town someday you might be able to make a Friday and hang out with us all.

We're, you know, really, you know, I'm always just kind of mesmerized by the group of individuals on Cadre and in what they give, in what they give to others to lift people up, to support them, to show up, to do what's needed, necessary this life to fill your cup. m. m. m. yep. 7 7:30. Yep. This is, this one's on. Yep. m. m. 7:30 to 9. Like I said, Chris, if you have 10 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour and a half, we will be on. So 7:30 to 9 bells. Looking forward to seeing you all with that peace. Have a wonderful day.

Thank you to all that are part of this amazing community. Thank you to those individuals that are also pushing themselves a little bit tonight, today, this weekend, this last week, whatever it might be. And also this is also a credit to those that are taking a little rest today or the previous week or month, whatever you might need. You know, I've really leaned into the JC Lippold in my life where you never know what somebody else might need that you don't. Which means like, this was great for me, but somebody else might needs to come home and say, you know what, I'm kicking my feet up and I'm watching a little TV and throwing on some Netflix because that's what I need today for me.

So whatever works for you. Awesome. But that was my story tonight and I just wanted to share. I love you guys. Thanks for showing up and you are the best. Thanks for everybody for participating and being a part of this live stream. It really makes my heart happy to show up for this community. Take care, you all. Thank you again so much for showing up. Have a wonderful night. I'll see you Friday. For those that can make it. Bye. Bye.
