Mel Myers explores why sharing the interesting parts of oneself matters, recounting stories about ASL interpreting and acting and inviting audience members to reveal their own. The segment highlights how personal stories spark connection within the Cadre sphere.
Mel Myers: It's important for you to be as interesting as you are. People need to know you because it invites them to know themselves. The things that are interesting about you. Change the world. No matter where you are, no matter what's going on today, I invite you to go.
You're insecure, don't know what for. You turn heads when you walk through the door oh, don't need makeup to cover up Being the way that you are is enough Everyone else in the room can see it Everyone else but you light up my world like, no. Awesome. 2025. Good morning, everybody. You don't know you're beautiful sometimes, probably. And that's why we have other people around us, to reflect. To reflect the things that maybe we don't see or the things that we need to be reminded of. That's what we do right here in the Cadre sphere.
C. and I am glad that I'm here. I'm glad that you're here, Mel Myers. I know the things I know and I care about you. That's how we do it here. Our little play in song today. A little One Direction, a little. Probably the most recent. Boy. And she looked at me and she's like. And the first interesting thing she said is, well, one interesting thing about me is JC always puts me on the spot, throws me under the bus by asking me questions like this in front of groups of people. Touche. That was her number one.
Number two. And she's like, well, there's not really many interesting things about me. And I go, please proceed. Then number two, she's like, I, I'm American Sign Language interpreter. And then she spoke about how she would do that in the hospitals back in the early stages of ASL becoming more and more mainstream way of people being able to say, hey, I don't speak. Do you use sign language? And she was one of the first in the hospital system. And then her third one was, you know, she spoke about how she used to act with some specific famous people in a specific part of the country, yada, yada, yada.
When she started sharing interesting things about herself, you could see everybody else in the room go, oh, my gosh, we have a connection. Oh, my gosh, that's amazing. Oh, my gosh, I never knew that about you. And then I said, okay, everybody in the audience, can a few of you share something interesting about you? All of a sudden, this man who had been sitting in the back, very quiet, hadn't spoken up. He raised his hand and he shared a story. Then there was this woman over on the side who, again, had not been speaking up and raised her hand and she shared a story.
There are interesting things about you, my friend, out there in the Cadre sphere. The number one thing that makes it interesting is that you find something magical about it in yourself, in your story. And when you see it in you, other people will see it too. That's how it works. But here's the deal. You may go and say, oh, why is it important for me to be interesting? Why can't I adjust? And all of a sudden we start adjusting and onlying here's why. It's important for you to be as interesting as you are.
A People need to know you because it makes them feel more known. People need to know you because it invites them to know themselves. And people need to know you because it helps you activate the things in you that the world needs to see. The things that are interesting about you. Change the world not only from like a, oh, good job. You're interesting, but the world goes. You are the person who can help us here. You are the person who has the strength here. You are the person who is called to save, to change, to alter the path of history here.
But if you keep those interesting things inside, or if you try to squeeze them down and suffocate them to not being interesting, you miss out. Yeah, but so does the world. So no matter where you are, no matter what's going on today, I invite you to go. Huh? Here's three interesting things about me. Bonus. Share those things with other people. Say, hey, you want to know something interesting about me? And they go, oh, you're full of yourself. And you may go, you want to know what? I actually kind of think I'm a pretty cool person.
So settle in. Settle into being enough today and I'll see you tomorrow. Everyone else in the room to see it. Everyone else but you, baby. Light up my world like nobody else. Me. You understand why I.
