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.

Say it ain't so! Spring Training has just begun and we already have massive stories to touch on! The Yankees are changing the way they do things internally. No more "no beard" policy!

The Mets have already seen some key starting pitchers go down with injury. How much will that impact them to start the season? What are the possibilities of expansion in Major League Baseball?

Boston Sports Summit - Dire Straits for the Bruins 1:25:52

hace 5 weeks1:25:52

1:25:52

The Patriots are rounding out their coaching staff with the additions of Josh McDaniels as the Offensive Coordinator, former Interim Bears HC Thomas Brown as the TE coach & Pass Game coordinator, and even former Jaguars HC Doug Marrone. Here is a staff that is being put together, that has very little ties to Vrabel. I am not mad about the coaching hires but I do wonder how much of this staff are Vrabel's guys? The Bruins are a complete dumpster fire b/w the drama that was the Swayman signing, the story of Marchand vs Pastanak, & getting blown out a number of times his season. The ultimate question with this team is who are the 24-25 Boston Bruins? They had a few decent stretches surrounded by a lot of bad ones. In the immortal words of the The Who: "Who are you?" The Celtics just can't seem to get their act together. On the 1 hand, they play like they did vs Golden State last week but on the other hand, they play like they did vs Houston last night. This coaching staff is dying on the hill of analytics & regression to the mean rather than playing real basketball. There are good nights & off nights but they make excuses for their opponents & themselves all of which with an analytic mind I may throw a line in about the Red Sox…

On tonight’s LOADED show, I’ll explain why the Lions absolutely missed their greatest opportunity to win a Super Bowl with Dan Campbell, the reason why Jayden Daniels’ rookie season is the best we’ve seen to date, and how Buffalo and Josh Allen finally cracked the code on how to be their most dangerous selves. I’ll then detail why folks blaming the Chiefs’ win on the refs for their win over the Texans isn’t founded in fact, the quality Saquon Barkley shares with Tom Brady, and what made Ohio State’s road to being National Champions so impressive.…
