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.

Fragments of Desire: A Love Story 30:27

hace 11 weeks30:27

30:27

Step inside a space where romance dissolves, reassembles, and defies linear time. Here, each glance, every touch, and whispered secret transforms into vibrant, disjointed symbols—each moment hanging like a half-forgotten dream in the fevered pulse of a Cubist landscape. As Jill—demure, strawberry-blonde, and shyly sensual—ventures deeper into the maze of this playful, dangerous world, she encounters shadows of herself and layers of him that emerge, vanish, and reappear as distorted reflections. Her journey is a whirlwind of open loops and callbacks, riddles within riddles, where every encounter is doubled, refracted, and turned inside-out. Embrace the labyrinthine unknown where boundaries blur, roles reverse, and eroticism merges with danger to ignite hidden desires in a twisted lover’s waltz. Lose yourself in a hallucinatory landscape where the heart's maze twists with vibrant colors and sharp contrasts, each scene laced with seductive undertones and reflected revelations. Fragments of Desire will leave you reeling and breathless, caught between what is, what isn’t, and what you wish could be. PS: You know who you are. Got something to say to me?

Embrace Chaos: Self-Love, Sadism, and the Power of Creativity 1:01:08

hace 21 weeks1:01:08

1:01:08

What if the very things you think you can't control are exactly where your power lies? On this episode of Medicated Minutes, we challenge you to rethink the inevitability of life's events and the importance of personal responsibility, all wrapped in Emerson Dameron's signature humor and wit. We kick off with a passionate monologue that tackles these existential themes head-on, urging you to embrace life's chaos rather than resist it. From the ironies of trying to stop the unstoppable to finding freedom in the mundane, we present a philosophy that turns conventional wisdom on its head. Can you love yourself without succumbing to the trap of fame? We then pivot to a deep-dive into the paradoxical dance between self-love and sadism, exploring how public attention can wreak havoc on mental health. By drawing parallels with historical figures and examining consensual sadistic practices, we illustrate the necessity of rigorous self-discipline and mutual respect for personal growth. This segment is a hard-hitting look at how embracing one's flaws and leveraging past pain can pave the way for true healing and transformation. Finally, we explore the transformative power of shedding one's ego and embracing observational awareness. Through the poignant story of Scarlet Obscura, a Nova Scotian artist seeking meaning in Los Angeles, we emphasize the importance of creativity and curiosity in understanding both ourselves and others. This narrative serves as a testament to the power of art and self-expression amidst life's unpredictability. Tune in to discover how you can harness creativity, humor, and empathy to navigate the chaos of existence and find deeper meaning in everyday life. Got something to say to me?

Serendipity's Squeeze: A Bite-Sized Erotic Thriller by Emerson Dameron 7:37

hace 35 weeks7:37

7:37

Dive into a world where pleasure is a weapon and oblivion is bliss. A self-anointed philosopher, accordion player, and playboy slacker who glides through life, leaving a trail of used and discarded women in his wake. But now, his uppance is coming for him like a mack truck from Jupiter wrapped in silk sheets. Enter Ava, a wealthy heiress with a penchant for debauchery. She’s got salons full of friends who want to push wild, rough sex to its carnal limits, and she’s more than happy to supply the playground. Ava's got her own agenda, and it involves watching Tango Boy dance to her twisted tune. Then there’s Clover, the quintessential spacey, vibe-aware blonde. She’s our boy's favorite toy, easy to manipulate, and good for a hearty physical workout. But somewhere in the silence between his grunting and gloating, our Polka Dot starts catching feelings – and suddenly, screwing Clover is screwing with his lazy, self-serving, cynical worldview. As Ava and Clover’s wild schemes unfold, our Squeeze Box Socrates finds himself tangled in a web of scary, sexy, psychedelic misadventures, criminal escapades, space opera, and multidimensional chaos. In this game, there are no rules – just a lot of twisted minds and sheets and even more twisted fun. Created by Emerson Dameron.
