Two Zero Q: 20 Questions With Interesting People from the LGBT community and friends

#twozeroq #theveryhandsometimkirk #pride #lgbt

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.

You are listening to 2ZQ Hot Takes. This time, I’ll be talking about the evolution of Memes, Gen Z Jargon, Gen A Jargon, a brief touch on the frequently off-putting evolution of Emojis, a few standout, irksome LinkedIn codewords in current use among other things, including intentionally mean spirited, contradictory, intergenerational, drastically different connotations of ordinary & usual vocabulary, and the cultural danger of using emojis in business communications. You might regret the reputation of unknowingly employing "Coworker-core" but don't be Beta or a Doomer Chud who convinces themselves that they are a Glazeworthy Giga Chad. There is a noticeable bent towards misogyny, casual cruelty and crude sexual innuendo. If you are not part of these generations, avoid attempting to use the slang. You may believe that you are Based, but will not be giving Aura. #Memes, #Aura, #2025Jargon, #Slang, #LGBT, #TVHTimKirk, #GenZslang #GenAslang, #LinkedInCodewords, #emojis Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

EJ & Jeff: "The Old Man and the Queer Two Zero Q. EJ & Jeff: "The Old Man and the Queer" In this Episode of Two Zero Q – 20 Questions With Interesting People, we learn the 'Origin Story' of Jeff Comerchero and his co-author E.J. Radford. Long time former Mayor and City Council Member Jeff Comerchero and his co-author E.J. Radford have written a new dual memoir detailing not only their lives, but the unique circumstances that led to a friendship that never should have happened. Comerchero is a 77-year-old life-long Republican, far to the right on most political, cultural, and social issues. In stark contrast, Radford is a 26-year-old barber with tattoos over most of their body, including a huge moth covering their neck, body piercings everywhere, and nose rings. Radford identifies as Trans-Masc, using the pronouns they/he, and is as far to the left as Comerchero is to the right. Through a quirk of fate, the former mayor found himself in E.J.’s barber chair. Although it was uncomfortable for both, the haircut was stellar, so Comerchero went back, and Radford would soon become his regular barber. After several appointments, a very unlikely friendship began to grow, and both gradually started to see their biases fade into the background. The result was that a most unusual, but beautiful friendship developed.

You are listening to 2ZQHot Takes, where we discuss issues both big and small. This time, I'll be talking about The impending RTO dilemma, Recruiting nightmares and the need for bespoke On and Off Boarding Processes. The unethical, intrusive, scammy recruiter nightmares so many professionals are unwittingly subjected to, New AI scams for fake jobs which are intended to gain applicant's personal information by identity thieves, introducing an entire generation the concept of being 'onsite' and reintroducing remote workers to concepts they believed they left behind, the 'grind,' and a pitch for customized onboarding services! A staggering statistic reveals a significant flaw in current onboarding practices: over 80% of confidential exit interviewees reported that their poor, one-size-fits-all onboarding experience gave them a negative impression of their organization from day one. This negative first impression played a major role in their decision to leave. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…
