Monday Motivation: Work Hard, Play Hard (resting)

Good morning. What's up, Cadre? Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Happy Monday to you and yours. Hope everybody had a phenomenal weekend. Let's go, let's Monday, let's let it rip. Work hard, play hard. I can't wait to share my take on what work hard, play hard was to me like 10, 15 years ago and what work hard, play hard is for me today. So cheers to you and yours. Thanks everybody for showing up. Sometimes that's just half the battle in this world. So, yeah, just running a little bit late behind today.

Had to drop off my son to school. I had to help with the other kids. I don't, I didn't have to, I got to, I get to do that. So thanks everybody for coming again. My name is Luke Wendlandt. I've been at Cadre since day one. I love this community for me. So for everybody, know Monday, Tuesday, your expectation is to be in the office during this holiday season, right? Monday, Tuesday, your expectations to be in the office. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, it's you're off. You can do whatever you want for you, whatever that looks like for you.

If there's some things you have to do for work to rebound and get back to a baseline, go for it. But come up like the next week. Our, our next two weeks are Monday, Tuesday, office, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, off with family. Monday, Tuesday in office, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, off with your family and friends to celebrate the new year. So when I now work hard, play hard, it's, don't get me wrong, love to work with the best of them. I enjoy it. I, I, I live for it. I love work, especially meaningful work like this at Cadre.

But here's my but is that I also like to rest just as hard. And what I mean by rest for me is sauna, playing chess with my son, relaxing, reading, napp, rebounding to just feel like, so fulfilled. So when I come back to work on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, it's not like the stories of being out all night and blah, blah, blah, but the stories of, you know, the things that made my heart whole and the things that made me a better person. Those are the things that I'm leaning into and those are the things that I find to work hard, play hard.

So, like, because, because I work hard, I get the opportunity to rest even harder, which is a beautiful thing. So we culturally at Cadre, have used this as an opportunity to say, you know, we're going to show everybody who we are. We're going to show everybody who we are. We had an amazing event last week. There was no alcohol there. It was all NA options, stuff like that. So people felt good. It was from 3 to 5 in the afternoon, so we made the right time, the right action, and then followed it up naturally with, hey, just want to let everybody know that it's on the team.

You know, Mondays and Tuesdays, we're gonna work very, very hard. During these days, we're gonna be focused. You know, we talk about signal versus noise. So we're gonna make sure we go all in on the Monday. Tuesday, we're gonna release Wednesday. Thursday, you need to feel so good. Okay, so those are some things that we're just going to lean into today as teammates. But with that being said, I hope everybody has a phenomenal day. It looks like we have an issue with no sound. I don't know exactly what's happening there, but we'll figure it out 1% better.

Good morning, junk food junkie. Have a phenomenal Christmas. Monday, Monday. Good morning to you too. Take care. You guys have a wonderful week. We'll get this figured out. If there was no sound, we apologize. Talk soon. Bye. Bye. Have a great week.
