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.

Ok this episode we are going to be focusing on the Volkswagen Emissions scandal. Apparently called Dieselgate or Emissions Gate.Volkswagen had big dreams to become the largest car manufacturer in the world. And it didn't mind cutting some really big corners to do it. We are going to talk about The epa and the huge loopholes that used to be built into the system. Then we will talk about the development of the E189 engine and the Defeat software used to deceive regulators. Eventually the fraud falls apart after a ragtag team of West Virginia University scientists tests the cars out on the open road. Volkswagen attempts to stall but the company is met with nearly 33 billion dollars worth of consequences. So Let's get into it!

1:13:46

Volkswagen was having a rebirth in the United States in the mid to late 2000’s. They had become synonymous with the idea of clean diesel and technological advancement. Diesel Sales in the United States were at an all time high and with their higher fuel efficiency and the promises of clean planet friendly protection systems, they were the obvious choice for the environmentally minded american. But it turns out VW had a dark secret hidden in the computers of their cars. They could trick the testors, producing almost no emissions in the lab. But when these cars made it out on the actual road they began producing harmful gasses at off the chart rates. This engine was put in millions eventually leading to one of the largest environmental scandals in history of the automobile industry. This episode we will get into the history of VW. The company somehow goes from Nazi Prestige project, to free love and a symbol of the counterculture. Then we will get into the circumstances leading up to the not so miracle engine.

1:16:56

So This week we are going to talk about the Downfall of the once beloved and largest seafood chain in US History: RED LOBSTER!!! Many people will tell you that the restaurants failure was caused by the disastrous ENDLESS Shrimp Campaign. Which Don’t get me wrong was huge mistake they lost 11 million dollars in three months. People were doing tik tok challenges to try and eat as many shrimp as possible. Hiding Ziplock bags in there purse sneakily smuggling shrimp out of the restaurant. But when I looked into it the story got A Lot more complicated. The true culprit is of course Private Equity. After 2014, the restaurant was passed from owner to owner, with each Bleeding as much money as possible before dumping it. Including a shady seafood supplier with a Crazy Shrimp scheme. Trying to make money while they rode the restaurant into the ground. Redlobster officially filed for bankruptcy in 2024. But Don't worry they are not going out of business just yet. They closed over 100 stores and have been bought up once more. This time with a young and energetic new CEO who is invested in the Greatest comeback in Restaurant history! But will he be Redlobsters savior or just another in a line of vultures? I have hope but Only Time will Tell! Im excited about this one its gonna be silly And as a speciall treat I somehow was able to keep this to ONE EPISODE!!! Enjoy!

LuLaRoe Part Two- There are NOT enough Legs!! 1:13:45

1:13:45

We are back for More Lularoe! Last ep we talked about how this small MLM turned into a massive problem and almost definitely a pyramid scheme. Mostly women and often stay at home moms were turning to Lularoe to make some extra money but instead were going into debt just to break even. The only people truely benefiting were Founders Mark and Deanne Stidhan and those lucky few that got in early and were getting massive bonuses for recruiting. The quality of the clothing was getting worse and the quality of the design was plummeting. But they went from 5,000 retailers to 80,000 in less than three years. So the scam outgrew their ability to control it and, the cracks are starting to show. This week we are going to fully get into them!We will talk about the logistical failings, the companies use of cult tactics to control and manipulate their retailers, and then the MANY MANY lawsuits!

This week we are talking about LuLaRoe and it is a fun one! LuLaRoe is a clothing company known for their “Buttery Soft Leggings” and bold patterns. With Promises of full time pay for part time work, The Lularoe life appealed to many people in America struggling to make ends meet. Especially women and often stay at home moms who may have just left their job to begin their family. Established in 2013 it reached its height in 2016-2017 with nearly $2 billion in sales and 80000 independent “Fashion Consultants” selling lularoe clothing. Consultants would spend tens of thousands of dollars buying leggings and dresses in bulk and do their best to make their “investment back”. Luckily for these struggling retailers there was a second way to make money at Lularoe: Recruitment. The more people you recruited the more money you would get. As the company got bigger and bigger it began to look less and less like a Legging company and more and more like a Pyramid. Less like a way for struggling families to make some extra cash and more like a predatory machine funneling money up to the very top of the food chain. Enjoy!

This week, Danny is talking about the Triangle Shirtwaist fire. One of the deadliest workplace fires in US history. A story about the criminal exploitation of Immigrant Labor. Deeply Flawed Fire Control systems. And employers that put their profits far above worker safety. We begin with garment manufacturing's early history and the use of Tenement sweatshops. The early garment industry fed on and took advantage of a stream of new immigrants fleeing Europe in the millions. We talk about the growth of the labor movement and the Shirtwaist strike of 1909. And then get into what made the Triangle factory so dangerous and prone to disaster. “Triangle: The Fire That Changed America”-David Von Drehle (2003) “Triangle Fire”- PBS The american experience(2018) “Behind the Bastards- Triangle Shirtwaist Fire”- Cool Zone Media(2021) ***ALERT!
