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.

To get to the next level you have to be able to perform at that level. It's ok to dream of yourself in a position. On processing failure: "When you make a mistake you must learn to move on quickly." On competition: "Love trying to get the best out of myself." Challenge yourself to succeed. Focus is in alignment with purpose. On team: "Provides opportunity to speak into others' lives."

The Power of Branding with Alexis Campbell 36:58

Stay tapped into collaborative pools of education. There is no such thing as 'overnight' success. Consistency pays off. Remain curious and flexible. We are putting out some form of brand; intentional or not. Be intentional. Branding influences profitability. Curate an experience for your 1,000 true fans. People want to feel that what you have is just for them. Branding positions you to be an industry authority.

The Power of Investing with Bola Sokunbi 40:30

hace 4 years40:30

40:30

If you don't implement what you learn, it doesn't matter. Leverage free material until you reach a roadblock where you need additional help. The solution is never in anybody else. Implementation and financial awareness are two key things for any business owner. You're going to have late hours figuring out your business and a coach will not work those hours for you. There's a saying that I quit my 40 hour a week job for a 90 hour a week business and that's true in the building stages of your business.

Success of an entrepreneur is about timing. Wait long enough to see the purpose in the valleys. The valley is where the magic happens. You evolve as a person and you evolve as an entrepreneur.
