In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Is Your Child Afraid of Heaven? Get this book. 9:41

When I was a kid, the concept of heaven TOTALLY freaked me out. Being in one place and existing there forever was something I couldn’t grasp and it felt heavy, overwhelming, and scary. Author Jordan Raynor felt the same way as a kid and that’s why he wrote, “The Royal in You.” It’s a book that inspires excitement, hope, and joy as it paints an accurate description of how awesome and interactive heaven will be. It’s a must-have for every kid. Listen to my review. I also read a few of my favorite pages!…
