33:58

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.

This episode is about Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas- a SuPeRcALiFrAgILiStiCeXpiAloDocIouS book! I didn't include a spoiler section today- I might make a bonus episode about it in the future. Also, my friend CC (who has read most of the series) told me that it is not ages 11 and up but more like 14 and up. Just to warn you if you decide to read it. She says it gets MUCH weirder.…

Hi! Sorry for publishing this episode a little late- technical difficulties! I hope you liked it! This episode was a review and discussion on Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone. In the episode I said skip to 30 seconds before the ending if you want to hear the end- it was actually at around 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Thanks for listening!
