The host opens with greetings and explains being late due to a Lund boat photo shoot on Lake Superior, sharing details about the early start, the weather, and the overall excitement of the outing.
She introduces the title 'Unhustled' and recounts the two-hour drive through small towns along Lake Superior, noting farms, animals, and scenes that sparked reflection on different ways of living and unwinding.
The host contrasts her computer-based day job with people working outdoors—feeding animals, grooming, and operating tractors—and highlights how activities that seem like leisure to one person can be someone else's hard work.
She encourages viewers to observe how others hustle and unhustle, reflects on perspective, asks for thoughts for her mother's upcoming surgery, and signs off with well wishes and a reminder to notice the 'unhustle.'
Hey Cadre Severe, what is up? I am a day late and a half hour early. Normally I'm joining you on Wednesdays at 12:30, but we were out doing a Lund boat photo shoot for Lund boats yesterday on Lake Superior, the Great Lake Superior, and so I couldn't be on cadre because I was out catching lake trout, which was great. Hi, Mel Myers. Welcome. So I've got a little bit of some color going because we were out on the boat, but the sunscreen worked for only so long. But excited to be here with you all. It feels weird to be here on a Thursday instead of a Wednesday, but really excited to see you and hopefully you've been having a great week.
Hi from another Great Lake. Yes, you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, we were the only two boats 30 miles out of Bayfield, Wisconsin. So it was quite fun. It was a gorgeous day. It started off a little chilly. m. It was a little chilly, but it did warm up throughout the day and we had a blast. It was an experience I've never had before, so really excited to be able to experience that. My cousin set it up, so it was really fun. And hopefully I get to do it again because you have somebody rigging your poles and taking your fish off and all all the things that make fishing fun to have somebody doing all the hard work and all you have to do is reel in the joy.
It was great. We had a blast. I was thinking about my title Unhustled today. I scheduled this earlier in the week because I knew I was going to be gone. Unhustle was a thing that I was thinking about in terms of my own personal life. But then when we took this drive to Bayfield, Wisconsin from lake home in Wisconsin, it's about a little over a two-hour drive, we had the ability to drive through a bunch of just different small towns and see how other people unhustle, right? And see how people hustle.
So that's kind of what I was going to talk to you about today. And I felt very blessed because I did take some moments to really look around at some of the things that were happening in these small towns. There was a lot of farms, some hobby farms, some other farms. And so yeah, high speak wonder, reel in the joy, absolutely. We released Just so everybody knows, we needed release shots as well as catching shots. So we did release all of our lake trout. But on the drive there, it was fun. It was a way we had never been before and it was right along the shore of Lake Superior.
And so you were able to see a lot of different sites and take in a lot of different unhustles on your way through those small towns and up that shore. And it was really fun to be able to see some miniature horses and some donkeys and regular wild horses and cows and you name it, we saw it on our way. And kind of going through some of those, you think about the ways that people live that are so different from yours and the experiences that people have that are so different from yours. And it really truly is a blessing to look at how other people live and really understand that their perspective is probably so different from yours.
And that's okay. I learned how other people hustle right, in their day-to-day. Mine is more or less a computer office job, right? Where I'm on my computer almost all day. They're out in the fields. They're out in the field feeding. They're out in the field, you know, maybe grooming their animals. And it was fun to see some of the, you know, two older gentlemen standing by a tractor telling their farming stories. And we saw somebody putting hay into a trough for the animals to munch on. For them, that's hustle.
They're working hard. For me, that looks like such joy and just unhustle, where you get to think about taking care of animals. Being out on the boat was such an unhustle, but for the people that were filming and the people that were driving the boat and the people that were rigging up my pole, it was hustle. They were hustling, but I was able to sit back and relax and unhustle a little bit. Thinking about that, I just thought, there's different perspectives in the world. We all have different ways that we hustle We all have different ways that we wind down and take a break and that's okay.
It's okay to recognize that yours might be different from somebody else's and it's actually kind of cool because you can take that in, you can see what other people are doing to hustle, but then maybe what they do to unhustle at the same time. I wanted to share that with you today because I thought it was a really cool perspective to be able to drive through those small towns and see the ways in which people live, in which people work, in which people hustle. And again, I got to see people hustling while I unhustled on the boat.
So I'm encouraging you to take the moments where you can see how somebody else maybe is spending their time or hustling or unhustling, either one, right? How they are living their lives in kind of a, yeah, one person's hustle is another person's holy hush. Absolutely, I love that Speak Wonder. Your words always are amazing and I thank you for sharing them. It's so good to see you, Cadre Sphere. I always love being here. I will hopefully be here at my normal time next week. I will share with you that my mom is having another brain surgery next Tuesday, so thoughts and prayers would be greatly appreciated.
We are very, very hopeful, so I'm hoping to be with you on Wednesday, all goes well. But for now, take care, Cadre Sphere, be well, and notice the unhustle today. Good to see you all, have a great rest of your week and your weekend, and we'll see you next Wednesday.
