Cadre Today - Experiencing Snow For The First Time

Joing. Jolene, Jolene, Jolene I'm warning you, don't come for my man Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene don't take the chance because you think you can. You're beautiful beyond compared to morning beauty. I wanted to get through that point where it says, you are beautiful beyond compare, my friends. Good morning, Quinn. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to Cadre today. My name is JC if we've never shared time and space together before, thank you for the opportunity to spend some time with you right now.

It is a gift, and I'm glad that I'm here. I'm glad that you're here. I know the things that I know and I care about you. If you've never attended Cadre today until right now, you're gonna hear that every single time you come in here, right? That 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 kind of the magic formula for how this Cadre, this special group of people with a special intention does the things that it does. That was a little Jolene cover by the one and only queen bee, Beyonce.

Does anybody know Beyonce's hometown? If you know it, put it in chat. Matt Tappy. Good morning. Morning. I hope you're doing well up here in the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. We had our first snowfall last night and wasn't that bad here. It was really bad out west in western Minnesota and pretty bad up north as well. I know a lot of people got kind of locked in, shut down, had to go ahead and be like, you know, here's where we're gonna be for right now. But here's the deal. We hope that you're doing great.

If you're not doing great, we also will always be the reminder saying that you are still incredibly capable even if you're not doing great. You have a lot of worth, you have a lot of capacity, and you're probably gonna do some pretty miraculous things today, even if it doesn't feel like it. So remember that. So I asked the question about a minute ago. Beyonce's hometown. Beyonce's hometown is Houston, Texas. Houston, Texas. Houston, Texas, is the fourth largest city in the United States. I didn't know that until I did.

For some reason, I always thought Dallas was bigger than Houston or that Austin was bigger than Houston, but no, the top cities, population wise, New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and then Beyonce's hometown of Houston. You don't know who else's hometown Is Houston, Texas. My puppy, Franklin the puppy dog. They found Franklin the puppy dog wandering the highways of Houston a couple of months ago. And Houston and Franklin got brought up here for the chance to join our family. Franklin, being a dog that was found on the side of the highway, loves being outside, loves eating garbage, loves surviving.

So the fact that we have a doggy door into the backyard, Franklin's kind of in heaven because he gets to go outside whenever he wants. And there's always grass and twigs and other things in the backyard to find a chew on. But we've been waiting. We've been waiting for the first snowfall, because to go ahead and experience an animal who's lived in Houston, Texas, who gets to experience cold nights, but not snow. I videotaped it this morning, and he's like, what's going on? And can I touch this? And what does it feel like?

And then all of a sudden, he got comfy with it, and he started running around the backyard having a hoot. But then all of a sudden, it was time for puppy Franklin to go to the bathroom. And he had no idea what to do because he was disoriented. His ability to go, this is where I go to the bathroom was all gone because all of the smells and all the sight were now covered in this snow. He was disoriented because the world he laid out had changed. Now I'll go to the. So what happened? He sooner or later figured out where he was, and he ended up going to the bathroom in the kind of the same place where he always does.

He figured it out. He reoriented himself. But I often look at a lot of the work that I do. I help groups of people and individuals navigate change and growth and opportunity and desire and dream and plan and all that stuff. And what I often say is, I'm not doing anything for you. I'm not even necessarily teaching you anything. What I'm doing is I'm walking you through orienteering exercises. Let's say you're a girl scout walking through the woods and going, I have my compass and I have my moons and stars and trees and maps and things.

And now I know where I am. Once you know where you are, it's a lot easier to where you're going. So my invitation for you on this Wednesday is a, give yourself a break when you are disoriented, because every single day you wake up, the world has changed. You are constantly having to reorient yourself, and then B, do the work to do it. Like, do the work to go hey, step one, figure out where I am and what's going on. And then step two, figure out what it is you want to do. And then be ready to see how much more capable you are on the other side.

So if you're wondering why I was like, wait, we're playing Beyonce in the middle of November, why? Because Houston, my puppy, Houston Snow up here reorienting. It all makes sense. A little Beyonce to play you out. Have a great Wednesday, everybody. Such a good tune. See you tomorrow.
