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.

There's a risk to just about everything in life... including investing in real estate.

One risk that some real estate investors fear is that rising mortgage interest rates will:

Increase their mortgage payment and therefore hurt cash flow, or
The rising mortgage interest rates will lower affordability and demand for properties, and therefore the value of properties they own will decline.

In this class, James will discuss the risk of investing in real estate and having mortgage interest rates rise, and how to mitigate or completely eliminate the risk.

Topics covered in this class include:

Historical perspective on mortgage interest rates
The challenge with Recency Bias for real estate investors
Current mortgages at various interest rates
The Mortgage Interest Rate Confidence Meter™ and how likely it is that you'll be able to get a certain interest rate
The two big fears around rising mortgage interest rates for real estate investors
How to completely avoid the impact of interest rates on your cash flow
Why balloons are for clowns and not real estate investors
What to do about buying more properties in a high property price, high mortgage interest rate, and lagging rent environment
Plus much more...

This class is Module 11 of 46 in a series called Real Estate Investing Secrets . Topics covered in this module include: What do you do if you wake up one morning and realize that you’re behind on saving for retirement? What can you do to get back on track? Or, better yet, what can you do to get ahead? Where do most of us begin? What should we do as our first step? What should we try to avoid? What should we aim for ideally? And, what is the end goal? Why “WHAT” you do with your money matters—especially when catching up on retirement saving. The three primary buckets for catching up... The bucket you can rely on the least and why you have little to no control over that bucket... but the one thing we can do to increase our chances with this bucket.

What are the ways we can increase earnings to help us catch up saving for retirement?
