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.

I welcome a true powerhouse woman, Cheval, the creative director and owner of She is Cheval, a specialty women's shoe brand. As our conversation unfolds, you'll discover the remarkable journey of a woman who has successfully rebranded herself after a high-stakes legal battle. Cheval's story takes a unique twist from her previous life as a renowned designer, where she was forced to shed her birth name due to legal constraints.

While diving into the nuances of her legal battle, Cheval shares valuable insights that resonate with entrepreneurs and creatives alike. We explore critical lessons from Cheval's journey. They emphasize the importance of specialization and protection for creative individuals who may become overly focused on their craft. Cheval's transformation from a "reckless optimist" to a responsible entrepreneur highlights the significance of self-advocacy and mentorship. Listeners can expect a thought-provoking discussion that delves into the complexities of entrepreneurship, legal challenges, and the inspiring resilience of a woman who continues to design her destiny.
