    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.

I thought it was just, 'Here is my job, help me.'" – Courtney CBQ: How much do you hate networking today?   Summary: Juan and Courtney break down why traditional networking felt like a "negative 34" and how getting clear on your talent, value, and curiosity can turn awkward events into intentional, energizing collaboration.   HIGHLIGHTS "You are more excited to network because you are more clear on what you are talented at and where it is valued." – Juan "People do not know how you could help them. You have to tell them what you do well." – Juan "If you are not excited to be there, stop going.

    "It lifted a weight off your shoulders I did not realize I was holding." – JK   CBQ: Why did you get a vasectomy?   Summary: Juan and Courtney use a very personal story to expose an overlooked leadership truth: responsibility shared is pressure reduced, and sometimes the smallest physical procedure removes the biggest emotional load.

    Doomscroll or Researching?

    "It is not the content. It is the intention behind it." – Courtney   CBQ: What is the difference between doom-scrolling and researching on your phone?   Summary: Juan and Courtney dissect the blurry line between learning and avoidance—why "research" can be productive curiosity or just another flavor of self-distraction.   HIGHLIGHTS "Doom-scrolling is when I am not actually going to apply what I learned." – Courtney "Body-doubling helps neurodiverse people get things done." – Courtney "Investing in yourself is different from retail therapy." – Juan "I do not deserve this notebook?

    "The egos are shaping the meeting — and whether your mission is accomplished or not." – Juan   CBQ: What Egos are shaping your meetings? (*Why does Juan love Inside the NBA?)   Juan and Courtney break down the leadership lessons hidden inside Inside the NBA. From Barkley's bluntness to Shaq's dominance, Kenny's analogies, and Ernie's calm structure, it is more than sports talk — it is a masterclass in team dynamics.
