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.

Launching A $5M Fund While Homeless 43:38

43:38

Seeing Janet Jackson as a child in Houston changed everything for Arlan Hamilton. The music star looked like her and exuded confidence, and Hamilton came away believing that nothing was impossible. That belief was challenged when she abandoned a successful career in music to try and launch a career in tech. She talks about launching her Backstage Capital venture fund from a food court without a prospect of where to sleep that night, and how that prepared her for the roller coaster of the tech industry and life in general.

She's got an enormous task ahead. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

Recorded at San Francisco's South End Rowing Club, we talk to her about her relationship with sharks, and the allure of operating at the bleeding edge of risk.

Former pro snowboarder Mike Basich has become a pioneer in the off the grid movement. He's built a self-sustaining 300 square foot home on 40 acres in Tahoe, guided by the philosophy that any creative endeavor is only worth it if you invest sweat equity (and not the Silicon Valley kind). He stops by the Red Bull podcast to talk about what it takes (physically and mentally) to live off the grid and how he pioneered the art of the action selfie - more than a decade before GoPro.
