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.

Greta Thunberg just hit us with a message that many people, including the science world has been telling us about our environmental issues and the negative impact of human actions thus far. We’ve ignored it, in the name of capitalism, for too long. Is it too late? Almost.

It’s been a while but I’m fired up now that a certain independent, who doesn’t sell coffee, has announced he’s running for office. But those damn Neoliberals and corporate democrats are already playing games by backtracking on Medicare for all. But just like those republicans, pay attention to what they say, not how they look or how polite they are. This will be the real fight.…

The midterm elections took place and instead of seeing that proverbial “blue wave”, we got “dirty dish water”. Why is that? They say “don’t hate the player, hate the game”, well what if don’t hate the player but you hate the team? I talk about that perspective in this latest podcast from Hawaii.
