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.

Positive Money is a movement to democratise money and banking so that it works for society and not against it. Our current financial system has left us with the highest personal debt in history, unaffordable housing, worsening inequality, high unemployment and banks that are subsidised and underwritten with taxpayers’ money. For 'Positive Money' with Richard Taylor and Scott Egner, the goal is for a money and banking system that serves a fair, democratic, and sustainable economy. Agnes McAuley, Secretary of the Greenock and Inverclyde SNP Branch said: "I am delighted to bring Positive Money to Inverclyde to talk about their UK- wide campaign. Positive Money are a non-profit making organisation which is advocating a fresh approach to our monetary and banking system, one which will work for the benefit of all society. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ch5fxyqf0joowcq/About_PositiveMoney.mp4?dl=0 http://positivemoney.org/resources/local-groups/videos-to-download/ ;…

Tommy Sheppard MP, a Board member of the Scottish Independence Convention and leading spokesperson for the movement, has recently been reported in the press to be calling for a delay in an independence referendum until we know the terms of British Exit from the EU. However, Mr Sheppard's opinion is not contrary to the Scottish government policy which has always been to wait until the terms of 'exit' is known. In his talk with Inverclyde residents, Mr Sheppard will set out details of a pathway which he believes will build a triumphant case for Scottish Independence.…
