Hey, good morning cadre. How are we doing on this Monday? It is still April, but not for much longer, which means all of a sudden the grass is green. The trees are starting to go. OK, I'm going to wake up and the flowers are coming into the world. Speak wonder. Nice to see you this morning. Hey, I'm glad that I'm here. I'm glad that you're here. I know the things I know and I really, really care about you. It's the reason why I bop on here every day. Sometimes we think we do the things because it's what we do.
When we think about why we do the things we do, really cool things happen. I love spending time with you, even though I don't know who you are. It's almost like being on stage, right? You never know who's out in the audience and what you're going to remind someone of. I'm currently playing a character on stage who passed away three years ago. He's the dad of a very famous baseball player here in the Midwest. And yesterday in the audience, there was a gentleman, his name is Larry, who afterwards came up to me and he started being like, You know, Like you'd have to gain 40 pounds to go ahead and, you know, really, really play this character right.
And he said it with a chuckle. And he started talking about how the gentleman who I'm playing, you know, drank a lot of Miller Lite. And then we started talking about memories he had of this gentleman that I play because they were friends. They raised their kids at the same time. And in that moment, I was able to help Larry remember. My reminding helped Larry remember. And it was almost for a moment, like I was being the mirror, saying, Hey, what else is coming to mind? And through my reminding him of and through his act of remembering, we had a connection.
And then we shook hands and I said, Hey, what's your name? Because I wanted to remember him. And then he went on his way. My invitation for you today is What can you help people remember by reminding them? Reminding them of why, of what, of who, of how, of when, of where. We always talk about remembering, but sometimes like, Hey, I wanted to remind you that you have a story, that you have memories, that you have history, that you have talents, that you have bumps and bruises and trophies and, you know, signs of success and failure, all these things.
When we remind people and they remember, we both benefit because we often have a really nice connection with those people. Who can you remind today? What can you remind them of? You may not know the latter. You may not know what you're reminding them of, but all of a sudden they'll let you know, and in that exchange, they'll thank you. See you tomorrow.
