This episode unpacks the resource blind spot—the mistake of clinging to the wrong tools or credentials, especially under stress. Juan and Courtney discuss how people often default to familiar but ineffective resources, like unnecessary degrees or outdated strategies, instead of identifying what’s actually required to move forward. They explore how intentional reflection, strategic focus, and prioritizing the right hard skills can reveal the real tools that unlock growth.
