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.

Game of the Year discussion with Griff, Geoff, and Jamie for the year 2020. It was a tough year but we reflect on the games we personally enjoyed and did a little dunking on the disappointing ones. Here's to 2021; the positive changes it brings, the time to play old games, the new games, and Yakisoba pan. Thanks, friends.

Using the scientist approved and commonly understood method of reverse-order-about-10-games-from-roughly-the-past-year we begin to uncover the Game of the Year 2024. Its all in good fun as the corn coast gang meet up with the beast coast fellas to talk about our favorite games over the last year. Its going to be a long one so we broke it into two parts. Enjoy our journey as more games keep coming out and we have less time for them all. But that will not stop us this year, last year, or ever!!! Also Jaime bought a 3D printer.

A podcast full of idiots is our new slogan. Jamie is satisfied with his PSVR 2 pickup and so is Sony. Griff opposes Sony’s continued dalliance with VR and just wants them to fight Microsoft again. Geoff is dispassionately interested. We catch up on a month of played game; hot for Fire Emblem Engage, cool for Sea of Stars, nonplussed by the completely-average-with-hand/wrist-based-reluctant-companion games, hyped for Hitman Freelancer and popping off for Pizza Tower. Let's all agree to not talk about The Last of Us any more and continue to talk more about fecal transplants.
