QUALIFIED: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work with Shari Dunn | 284 33:58

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.

Title: Existentialism and Exasperation: Coping with Global Uncertainty I think about death a lot, not in a morbid way, but in a reverent way. How about you? In a world where everything feels scary and somewhat hopeless, when the planet is literally revolting against human action, it’s easy and understandable to fall into despair. But maybe the lens of climate change can help us to better understand our relationship with death, our legacy as humans on this planet, and how we can better engage with one another.

Ireland is a place that's full of lore, culture, and history, and many Americans can trace their roots back to the island. However, the island is also known for enduring centuries of political turmoil, most (or all?) of which came from their neighbors, the English. After suffering through colonization efforts, cultural erasure, exploitation, and even (debatably, but not really) an attempted genocide, the Irish lost a portion of their island to the United Kingdom. Now, Northern Ireland has, for the first time, shown signs of possibly wanting to leave the UK and reunite with the Republic of Ireland.…

I've been reading Dune lately, and while the capitalistic undertones of the story are hardly subtle, it got me thinking about the ways stories and mythologies inform culture and society.

Many people believe the modern holiday of Valentine's Day originated in the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia. That may or may not be true, but as religion, governments, and other power systems evolved across Europe and the Middle East, we also saw the roots of a few other modern phenomena emerge.…

Ecuador was once the most peaceful country in South America even though it was bordered by two of the world's largest cocaine producers. However, despite political and economic instability throughout the years, things took a violent turn in Ecuador once a Colombian ceasefire between the government and the cocaine-peddling guerrillas left a power vacuum in the region. Suddenly, warring cartels were fighting for control of valuable trade routes and ports in Ecuador, plunging the country into chaos. Will Ecuador's newly-elected, young, and inexperienced president be able to wrangle his country back from the hands of violent gang members?…

Regardless of what you choose to celebrate or how you celebrate, there's one thing that underlies each holiday -- belief. In this episode, we explore the incessant and unceasing influences our beliefs wield over our lives, and the ways in which we see the world and the people in it.…

But how did Black Friday come to be, why does it have such a chokehold on the suburbs, and how is its societal impacts and influences changing with the times?…

It's hard to get through a holiday season these days without hearing about the problematic histories behind some of our most cherished American traditions. With Thanksgiving just around the corner and the word "genocide" already all over the news and social media, we can expect this holiday season to be especially fraught with complex and difficult-to-process emotions. But does a historical origin story necessarily take away from a modern interpretation of a holiday, or can traditions become separated from their roots to take on a different meaning entirely?…

The Guatemalan people have endured centuries of colonial rule, decades of corrupt leadership, and a CIA-backed military coup. The former banana republic has had its lands and its people exploited, and it saw its indigenous Maya population decimated by cruelty and greed. But today, there's hope for a better future in Guatemala. The people have democratically elected Bernardo Alevaro as their next president. Alevaro is a left-leaning progressive who ran on an anti-corruption platform, and he's the son of Juan Jose Alevaro, Guatemala's former president who led the Democratic Revolution of the 1940s. However, corrupt forces within the government are already trying to delegitimize his landslide victory, his party, and his platform. Will Alevaro be allowed to lead the Guatemalan people?…

As the world plunges into fresh chaos, the US government's legislative branch is lagging behind in terms of a response, wasting time that we no longer have on petty squabbles and personal vendettas.

Last week, Azerbaijan invaded the Nagorno-Karabakh territory after a three-year-long stalemate, expelling the majority Armenian population that lived there. Technically, the land already belongs to Azerbaijan. In fact, the region exists entirely within Azerbaijan's borders. However, Armenians have a historical claim to the area as their ancestors have lived there for centuries. As a listener of this podcast, you know that few things are as cut-and-dry as they appear, so let's find out why there's so much confusion in the first place and what the future could look like for the two nations.…

In this episode, we discuss the nature of language and communication, the ways we express ourselves as a culture, and how the culture drives our nation's politics.…
