Happy New Year from JSC 🎉 Welcome to 2026!

We're halfway through January, and many of us are feeling the full length of the month. Like the start of anything, getting the ball rolling is often the hardest part. 

The new year isn’t about flipping a switch—it’s about building momentum. January rewards the people who show up consistently, even when clarity isn’t perfect yet. Small actions compound quickly right now: one conversation, one application, one intentional habit at a time. This week is about protecting your energy, staying focused, and putting structure behind your effort so progress doesn’t rely on motivation alone.

If you're just joining us today, look forward to learning about an exciting event happening in Miami, FL and an update from our 28 Day Stand Firm Challenge. Let's hop in!

The 28-Day Standing Firm Challenge Update

This week reinforced a core theme across the community: momentum is built through clarity, structure, and consistent effort—not urgency or hype. Conversations centered on slowing down to define values, protect energy, and commit to small daily actions that compound over time. The focus remained on alignment over busyness and progress over perfection.

This week’s highlights:

  • Structure over motivation: Members leaned into systems that support consistency—fewer distractions, clearer priorities, and intentional use of time.

  • Progress through daily wins: Resume refinement, learning, outreach, and preparation were emphasized as meaningful steps, even when results aren’t immediate.

  • Confidence from promises kept: Reflection and shared wins reinforced that confidence grows by honoring commitments to yourself, especially the quiet, unseen ones.

Be sure to jump into the JSC Discord community to join the challenge!

Announcement:

We’re excited to officially share that Hiring for Impact is launching this spring in Miami! The goal of JSC is to connect Talent with Opportunities and this is another way we are making an impact within our communities.

Hiring for Impact is a cost-free workshop series, brought in partnership with Miami Tech Works, and is designed for Founders and Operators who are actively hiring and want to build stronger, more intentional hiring practices—from defining roles clearly to making confident offers and onboarding for retention. 

If you're in the Miami area and seeking Tech Talent, this is the series for you!

That's a wrap! 

As we move deeper into the new year, the message is clear: momentum comes from clarity, consistency, and community.

The quiet daily work, the discipline to protect your energy, and the willingness to reflect and adjust are what create real progress. With continued growth inside the community and new initiatives like Hiring for Impact on the horizon, we’re building a strong foundation for what’s next, together, and with intention.

See you next Monday, 

Tena & Stephen

JSC: June 1, 2026
We are back. Last week we took a beat for Memorial Day, and before we get into anything else, a quiet thank you to the families who carry the real weight of that day. Your service, and theirs, is not forgotten. Now, into June. The unofficial start of summer is behind us, the calendar is opening up, and this week's note is a focused one: just a Mindset Monday on triggers, stories, and how ...
