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.

20 years ago a group of bluegrass musicians formed a band and cut a record. Their producer shared some of the tracks with Dolly Parton who immediately fell in love with their music. So much so that she hired them to tour with her as opening act and backing band. That band, The Grascals, went on to score two IBMA Entertainer of the Year awards, 20 SPBGMA awards, and two Grammy nominations. Founding member, Danny Roberts, joins us on this edition of Americana Music Profiles to talk about their 20 year run as a band, their 20 year anniversary tour, and their latest album, 20.
