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.

Patreon Bonus - Mary Poppins by P.L. Travers 1:34:37

1:34:37

We read and watched Mary Poppins! The late 1800s and the 70s may not have much in common, but they certainly share the fact that they were on the unhinged side and are somehow incapsulated in this beloved piece of media. Were children really people back then? Is Mary Poppins a Greek Goddess? What the fuck even was Dick Van Dyke? Enjoy!…

2:13:33

How many red flags can one woman ignore? How many green flags does a serial killer need before its okay to date them? Is a cup of complementary coffee worth blackmailing someone over? Is "I think maybe he did the murder, though my eyes were closed and I was in a different room when it occurred and I was asleep cuddling the alleged murderer at the time" admissible in court? All question will be ignored on this episode. Enjoy!…

1:21:21

In order to conquer our trauma, we watched and read Left Behind, the book that aborted a lot of unborn babies for a Christian story, and the movie that sank its budget into Kirk Cameron's jawline instead of its special effects and judging teenage girls for the clothes they wear. Enjoy!
