CBQ - What is the network blindspot?”

This episode dives into the network blind spot—the limiting belief that networking is awkward, desperate, or only useful when you're job hunting. Juan and Courtney reframe it as intentional collaboration and connection rooted in shared value, not forced small talk. They offer practical ways to network authentically through passion, volunteering, and EQ awareness.
