Luke Wendlandt recounts an energizing Cadre team day covering AI, business vision and collaboration, reflects on the post-event “now what” feeling, and encourages finding micro moments with teammates.
Luke Wendlandt: I had one of those just incredible days today. We had an opportunity for the entire Cadre group and Cadre family to participate. Whenever I have days like this with teammates, he says, it's like it's literally my Super Bowl.
We had an amazing day at Cadre. What I encourage you all to do is to find those micro moments together with your teammates. Connect, collaborate, spend time, learn together, grow together. Find the moments that matter.
What up, Cadre family? It's Luke here. Happy Wednesday to you and yours. I had one of those just incredible days today. Just want to share and what brings me juice and what moves me. And I have a feeling maybe what might move you and how you can have more days like that. So at any rate, my name is Luke Wendlandt. I've been here since day one. It's always the best thing in the world to come here and share with this community. I love this group. I love this community. I love Cadre. I love everything about it.
So thanks for joining with me. Today was a great day. I hope you had a great day too. And let me tell you why. We had an opportunity today for the entire Cadre group and Cadre family to participate. From noon until 4 o' clock today, we went over everything from AI to the vision of the business breaking down. You know, what we're doing, why we're doing it, who's doing what. And it was just so exciting to be able to spend that time. For four hours, we had our super bowl moment, right? So super bowl themes.
So we had everything together with just awesome food. And it was, it was just a fantastic day. And whenever I have days like this with teammates, I always feel like it's literally my Super Bowl. Literally and figuratively. Right? Super bowl coming up. But when I have these days, it always feels to me like I'm almost riding a high. Like I almost feel like I'm riding a high in this moment. You know, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm spending this incredible time with this team. And when these things happen, it's just exhilarating.
I feel off the charts working with incredible people, doing insanely amazing things. Right. I. I. we're working with Claude Code. We're doing all these amazing things and participating together to be able to do so. So, like, and then when it's done, it's done. And then I almost kind of feel like I'm riding a high and then almost feels like it stops and then kind of now what? And I want to share a story of why this is so important. So I was down outside of Atlanta, Georgia, it's called Rome, Georgia, and having a phenomenal experience at this thing called H***, H*** on the Hill.
It's, it was awesome. Great, great time, incredible. But I remember this individual that was singing the song that I was, you know, watching him do the thing, and when he was done, he Said just want to let you all know, like, this isn't real life here. Like what real life is when you leave here, when you had head home, you know, how was, how's real life for you then? You know, how are you going to show up then? And you know, you can't, you know, party around a track for two straight days because it's called h*** on the H and you know, go run and sit in saunas and meet new people and do all those things to then say like, it's over.
And when that ends, it ends. And now you go back to this life of going home to your husband, go home to your spouse, going home to your partner, back to work, and now what? So what is always difficult for me is to take the super bowl moment, to take the super bowl moment that we had today at Cadre, which was unbelievable. Best four hours plus ever. Connect, collaborate, spend time, learn together, grow together, do all of it. And then I'll say, now what? And so what I encourage you all to do is to find those micro moments together with your teammates, the people you work with, people you connect with, to be able to say, like, I know I might not get four straight hours to have these vision sessions and whiteboards and go over all these strategic moments, but, you know, how can I find that tomorrow?
How can I find a little bit of that juice tomorrow and a little bit on Friday and roll it back in on Monday? Because the reality is like odds are, most organizations, including but not limited to Cadre and all their teammates, probably can't spend 4 plus hours together all the time. So did you have a good day? I hope you did. What was one good thing that happened for you today? We had an amazing day at Cadre. Smile, reverb, going out of my ear. Ear to ear. Hope you had something that was that lifted you up and feels the same way.
So with that, thanks for joining, thanks for participating, appreciate it so much. Find your moments. Find the moments that matter. That's what it's all about. Talk soon. Take.
