Frustrated even though you "did everything right"?

Community Tiers

Why did I build the Blind Spot Community? Because I want to help more people than 1:1 coaching allows — and because most of us already know what to do… we just don't keep doing it. In this episode, Courtney and I break down the purpose of the community and how the three tiers are designed for different stages: Tier 1: practical handouts + monthly updates for people who want tools they can actually use Tier 2: DIY coaching + hiring resources, a 1:1 call, and the weekly group for support and momentum Tier 3: year-long check-ins, deeper assessment work, and an AI consult with Courtney to apply AI safely and effectively to real problems We also talk about the real reason this exists: the same concepts land differently depending on the person. Sometimes one word change makes the whole thing click. If you've been looking for structure, clarity, and a way to stay connected to your own goals without a massive commitment, this episode explains the lane.

Rejection Hurts/Helps

Why did you dump me in 2004? That's how this episode starts. But this isn't just a relationship story. It's about rejection — in love, in leadership, in sales, and in career growth. We talk about: Why rejection feels isolating (even when it's necessary) The difference between being rejected and being freed How rejection forces the next chapter Why leaders must normalize "no" Sales, negotiation, and the flinch test The shame that keeps people silent Why if you're not getting rejected, you're probably not swinging big enough Rejection hurts. But it also clarifies. It strengthens. It redirects. And if you don't learn to process it, you'll avoid the very risks that move you forward. Rejection isn't a gift in the moment. It's a gift in hindsight. Embrace the blind spot.

AI Leader Credibility

What does a leader need to know about AI — if they're not planning to become an expert? More than you think. Less than you fear. In this episode, we unpack what actually builds credibility around AI for leaders: Embracing the fact that you don't know everything Avoiding the "curse of knowledge" Why curiosity beats certainty How fast iteration changes leadership expectations Why technical expertise doesn't automatically equal strategic leadership AI is not just a technical shift. It's a mindset shift. The leaders who will thrive aren't the ones pretending to know everything — and they aren't the ones dismissing it either. They're the ones asking better questions. Embrace the blind spot.

BS Model: Stop Being Busy, Start Being Intentional

For years, I've coached leaders using a framework I never fully explained — until now. The BS Model (Blind Spot Model) reveals where your attention goes and what it produces: Intentional Presence Task Execution Reactive Distraction Avoidant Coping Most people live externally focused and call it productivity. But without internal clarity, busyness turns into burnout. This episode breaks down: Why "I'm busy" is a warning sign How reactive distractions quietly take over The difference between being productive and being aligned Why burnout isn't accidental — it's patterned Nothing in this model is "bad." The problem is when you don't realize where you're operating. Embrace the blind spot.

Revenge of Sleep Training

Why aren't our babies sleeping? That's the question. But this episode isn't just about sleep. It's about leadership, ownership, energy, and what happens when a system that once worked starts slipping after a new variable is introduced. Sleep training is project management. Regression is iteration. Exhaustion changes your standards. We talk about: · Why knowing what to do isn't the same as doing it · How depletion impacts decision making · Ownership vs resentment · Redefining "done" when circumstances change · Why you shouldn't make system decisions when you're exhausted Whether you're leading a household, a team, or yourself, the lesson is the same: Step back. Lay it out. Define the next iteration. Then execute — rested. Embrace the blind spot.

Giving Someone An Attitude Adjustment

Changing someone's attitude is not about force. It is about awareness, sequence, and humility. In this episode, Juan and Courtney explore why you can not skip emotional stages, why progress is often smaller than you want, and why the first attitude you must check is your own. Drawing from Tribal Leadership and Tattoos on the Heart, they unpack the five workplace "t-shirts" people wear—and why trying to yank someone from "my life sucks" to "everything is great" rarely works. HIGHLIGHTS "You can not force someone to wear your t-shirt." – Juan "Progress is progress, even if it annoys you." – Juan "Sometimes blunt honesty is what actually gets through." – Courtney "If I am at 'I'm great, you suck,' I am part of the problem." – Juan "Gratitude shifts the shirt you are wearing." – Juan CareerBlindspot.com LinkedIn | Instagram | Youtube Juan | Courtney → Your listening perspective matters - 5 min survey.

reFresh Tradition

"Make your own traditions. Do not do things just because everyone else does." – Courtney CBQ: Why are there white Christmas trees in our bedroom and the kids' rooms? Summary: Juan and Courtney talk through why traditions should evolve with your life—and how choosing intention over obligation turns holidays into something you actually enjoy instead of just survive. HIGHLIGHTS "Nothing says Palm Springs like white Christmas trees." – Courtney "We want traditions, but we do not want to be beholden to traditions." – Juan "Avoiding something is a start, but leaning into a celebration is different." – Juan "They are not going to remember any of this. We are." – Courtney "This is permission to mess around and find out." – Juan *]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]" dir="auto" tabindex="-1" data-turn-id= "75a0a129-e3e3-4f5e-b73e-b810c6aaa0e6" data-testid= "conversation-turn-36" data-scroll-anchor="false" data-turn= "assistant"> CareerBlindspot.com LinkedIn | Instagram | Youtube Juan | Courtney → Your listening perspective matters - 5 min survey.
