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.

Not Quite Dead: Crowdfunding Vampires for Season Four 0:50

Support Not Quite Dead! Hi, it’s Eira, creator of Remnants! One of my other shows, Not Quite Dead, launched its crowd-funder for S4 today. It’s a gory horror romance about vampires, and it’s extremely gay. If you enjoy the emotional rollercoasters of Remnants and you’d like more of that but with vampires who can’t keep their hands or their teeth out of one another, Not Quite Dead will definitely satisfy your appetites. I’m really excited about this next season of the show and it’d be cool if you’d like to help me make it happen by going to tiny.cc/nqd4. The £15 tier will tell you if you live or die following an encounter with a vampire, and grant you a special role in the Hanging Sloth discord server, and higher tiers have tons of fun stuff like a digital collection of in-world notes written by the main character, Alfie, and opportunities to name a vampire in the show. You can find out more at tiny.cc/nqd4! That’s t-i-n-y dot c-c forward slash n-q-d and the number 4. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…
