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.

Hey Atomic Zero Fans, happy Independence Day weekend! This summer is heating up, just like the fireworks displays lighting up the sky. Here at Atomic Zero, we're diving into the biggest stories this month. Steve and I will be breaking down the 2024 Presidential Debate between Biden and Trump. Did the media shift its tone, or are they finally holding the President accountable? Closer to home, the situation in Oakland is getting hot. Is our Mayor facing genuine community anger, or is there something more at play? The FBI's silence is deafening, especially considering this is unprecedented for a sitting Mayor. And let's not forget, we've still got our eyes on the moon or at least China does! Stay tuned for in-depth discussions on these issues and more!

Atomic Zero Fans, buckle up! This month, we're joined by Edwin Li to deep dive into the controversial "Stop the Gondola" movement in Los Angeles. Former Dodgers owner Frank McCourt's proposed $500 million aerial tram between Union Station and Dodger Stadium raises serious red flags. Safety concerns, ballooning costs, and taxpayer liability are just some of the issues we'll be dissecting with Edwin. Is this just a vanity project, or is there a real need for this gondola? Later, Steve Lee joins the show! We'll be picking his brain on a recent CNN opinion piece: "Jokes about disability aren't taboo. But here's who shouldn't be telling them." Steve was even mentioned in the article – what's his take on the debate surrounding comedian Shane Gillis?

3:33:48

Welcome back, Atomic Zero fans! It's a hot October, but we're here to keep you cool with a jam-packed episode. In this episode, we'll talk about: Republican Primary Debate: The second Republican primary debate was a heated affair, with no clear winner emerging. The candidates clashed on a range of issues, including immigration, the economy, and foreign policy. Yaroslav Hunka: On September 22, 2023, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the Canadian House of Commons. After his speech, the Speaker of the House, Anthony Rota, introduced Yaroslav Hunka, a 98-year-old war veteran, and invited the House to give him a standing ovation. However, it was later revealed that Hunka had served in the 14th Waffen Division of the SS, a Nazi unit that was responsible for war crimes during World War II. Rota was unaware of Hunka's past when he invited him to Parliament. The incident sparked widespread outrage, and Rota resigned as Speaker of the House on September 27, 2023. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also apologized for the incident. Russell Brand: Russell Brand is a British comedian, actor, and YouTuber. He is currently on tour with his new show, "Russell Brand: Revelation." In addition to his comedic work, Brand is also a vocal advocate for social justice and environmentalism. Aston Kutcher: In 2022, Ashton Kutcher revealed that he had been diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease called vasculitis. Vasculitis is a condition that causes inflammation of the blood vessels. Kutcher said that the disease caused him to lose his vision, hearing, and balance. He also said that he had to undergo a year of treatment to recover. Grinds My Gears Snow White and Disney: There has been some controversy recently surrounding the upcoming live-action remake of the Disney classic "Snow White." Some people have criticized the film for its casting choices, while others have defended it. SF Drug Test for Welfare Recipients: The city of San Francisco is considering requiring welfare recipients to undergo drug tests. This proposal has been met with mixed reactions. Some people argue that it is necessary to ensure that taxpayer money is being used responsibly, while others argue that it is discriminatory and stigmatizing.

Welcome back Atomic Zero Fans! It's been a wild month, with the Republican primary debates heating up, Donald Trump getting a mugshot, and the war in Ukraine still raging. We'll also be discussing the mysterious events in Lahaina, Hawaii, and whether or not we're talking about Hunter Biden enough. Plus, we'll take a look at the latest union strikes. The Republican primary debates have been a spectacle, with the candidates trading barbs and making outlandish claims. Former President Donald Trump has been the star of the show, but he's not the only one with a shot at the nomination. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, and former Vice President Mike Pence are all in the mix. Donald Trump's mugshot was a reminder that he's still a powerful figure in American politics. The mugshot was taken after Trump was arrested for his role in the January 6th attack on the Capitol. Trump has denied any wrongdoing, but the mugshot is a reminder that he's not above the law. The mysterious events in Lahaina, Hawaii, have left residents and tourists alike puzzled. A wildfire swept through the town, destroying homes and businesses. But the cause of the fire is still unknown. Some residents believe that the fire was deliberately set, while others believe that it was an accident. Hunter Biden's business dealings in Ukraine have been the subject of much scrutiny. Hunter Biden served on the board of a Ukrainian energy company while his father, President Joe Biden, was vice president. Some people have accused Hunter Biden of using his father's position to enrich himself. But there is no evidence to support these accusations. Union strikes are on the rise in the United States. Workers are striking for better wages, benefits, and working conditions. The strikes are a sign of the growing frustration among working people.
