The Chris Ham podcast

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.

I open talking about entering a period of great weather and also spiked up the excitment socialization post vaccination and made a comparision to returning to college from summer break. I list my favorite cocktails to be sipped with nice dinners.

I talk about the extreme Republican skeptism of Covid in 2020 but then quickly pivot to the frustration I feel toward LIBERALS in 2021 and their irrational fear toward Covid post-vaccination. I talk about why we should be very excited about the vaccine landscape. There is a lot of hypocrisy going on with over-maskers and I explain why. I relate it to the pitfall character flaw of liberals.
I also poke holes in a few of the arguments of not breathing easy-PUN INTENDED. I talk about the dangers of reluctance in spite of varying risk tolerance.

I quickly hit on the announcment that the U.S government will acknowledge the existence of Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon.

I start discussing a very tiring and scary double ER trip for two out of three of my kids in a FIVE day span. I segue to the Roe V. Wade decision and express the outrage of men controlling women's bodies and the Republicans stacking the deck in the SCOTUS. BUT, I take an angle on the driver of Roe V. Wade that I dont hear discussed often and relate it ot a lot of conservative politics in general.

(9:10-14:16) The first topic we kick off is around the New York Yankees, Josh Donaladson and Chicago White Sox shortstop, Tim Anderson.
